I don't know how you feel about earplugs, but the best in terms of comfort are probably IEM's. They also block outside noise, are extremely portable, and are generally easier to drive than full size headphones.
On a budget, look at the low end of the Shure line. I have Westone UM3X's and like them very much, but they cost a bit more. I haven't listened to the low end Shure's (215, I think), but they have excellent reviews and feedback, and cost $99 retail. You can use different tips to find the one that works best for you. I personally like triple flange plugs the best, but it depends on the size of your ear canal and your taste.
Many headphones need an outboard amplifier to really work well. The IEM's have a better chance at sounding great straight out of your iPhone or your laptop.
Who knows, maybe you'll get into headphones. They are a great way to listen to music, at their best they do things that speakers cannot do, and of course, vice versa.
