Almost anything other than ear buds. Name brand not important.  Found a nice pair at Big Lots here in Californian. Put em on and it sounds like a home theater. Fantastic bass. Clean crystal high range. Best $8 investment I ever made.

I spent $11.00 on a pair of Coby headphones at Winners.  Great sound and good bass.

I would say the Razer Carcharias. There great and cost about 80 bucks.

Unless your phone uses some odd proprietary connector anything with a standard 3.5mm jack will do fine.

Transfusion, the diagram is not representative of headphones used on a PC.
On a PC there are separate plugs for Mic and Ear phone.

You can plug a pair of generic PC headphones with mic into any mobile device with a 3.5 mm output jack... just leave the mic connector alone...

For example if I were to use this pair of headphones on my mp3 player I would just plug the green connector in and leave the red connector dangling. The mic and headphones do not share the same circuit.

I can't speak from personal experience, but I have heard from many people that Skullcandy headphones are cool looking, but sound not so good.
