I use a pair of HD 25 -II Sennheiser pro broadcast monitoring headphones for electronic drums.
These are excellent - one of the best sounding isolating headphones(-17 db isolation and surprisingly comfortable/lightweight when you get used to their small cups). They don't look like much (cheap looking) but the sound isolation is excellent and the sound quality is really good (no boomy wet bass as seems standard these days on headphones and proper dynamics without audio compression)
I prefer open type headphones for casual listening - like my old Studio AKG 240's (but these are not good if you have background noise and are not very efficient - so they won't work that well with cheap sources like an iPod)
....Earbuds....forget it as far as I am concerned as the bass always sounds just terrible and synthetic - I never liked them.
