I own the Klipsch earbuds mentioned above, and found that they're awful for flying. It's not just the Klipsch, but in-ear headphones in general. They seal your ear canal, preventing the equalization of air pressure during ascent and descent in a flight. I found it incredibly uncomfortable, and found myself having to take out the earbuds every 10 or 15 minutes to pop my ears.
It finally got to the point where they caused more pain than they were worth, and I went the rest of the flight (a good 10 hours) without them.
So, I'd recommend sticking to around-the-ear headphones for flights.

I am director of operations for a summer camp. I keep track of attendance, maintain our FileMaker database, design playbills, photograph students, videotape performances, edit the videos, and design the DVDs. This week I have the following items in an STM medium backpack:

• 2011 15" MacBook Pro Antiglare
• 2007 13" MacBook
• iPad 32GB WiFi (1st Gen)
• 320GB External HD (Time machine backup for 24" iMac)
• 2x 8GB iPod Nano touchscreen for instructors
• Sanyo VPC-FH1 1080p camcorder to record performances
• Samsung TL500 (EX1 overseas) 10MP Point & Shoot
• HTC Inspire 4G (office line)
• iPhone 4 (personal line)
• 85 Watt power adapter for laptops
• 8GB Flash Drive
• 3 or 4 30 pin to USB cables for iPods/iPhone
• Klipsch in-ear headphones
• 2 or 3 iPod headphones
• Clear 4G portable hotspot

I only carry the 15" MacBook Pro when I'm working on designing playbills, so about 1 week per month. Normally it stays at home - away from clumsy children.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work :)

True story:
The diorama of the international space station in the texas city store (down the road from NASA JSC) is nearly as accurate as the mock up found in the training center of JSC.

My all time favorite is St. Arnold's Lawnmower brew.
