Need.New.Headphones.

OK, LJ, I need some advice.

This morning I was out for my morning job (or what some of you may call my morning brisk walk) and the last decent pair of headphones I have finally gave out, and I was stuck for over a mile with nothing to listen to but the sound of my own panting.

So now I am on the hunt for a new set. 
easilydistractd has an awesome pair of ear buds that fit really well and are very comfortable, but as I was hunting the web trying to find out where I could buy some NOW (because that's how I roll), I found some Shure ear buds that are NOISE CANCELING.  Do I need this?  Probably not, but it would be nice to have someone else tell me that there are better ways to spend my money.

Also, has anyone had any experience with USB to headphone converters?  My poor laptop at home believes the headphones are always plugged in when, in fact, the headphone jack is totally missing.  The result?  No sound for me.  So I am left wondering if I hooked up a USB to headphone adapter if I would once again be able to listen to iTunes or awesome online videos.

Anyone with suggestions?  Hurry!  I need them ASAP so I can jog tomorrow and ignore people on my flight to San Jose!
