Earbuds don't work well for me, either, and I also prefer 
over-the-ear headphones. I decided on Bose Triport headphones; many 
Apple stores use these in their stores for you to listen to iPods. 
They're not cheap at $149, but they really do sound great, and work 
well for both my iPod and my PowerBook (movies or iTunes). I've had 
them for about 9 months and have been extremely happy with them. 
Here's a link to them on Bose's site:

For full size headphones they're still quite compact, lightweight, 
and come with a nice carrying bag for some minimal protection.

Bose's QuietComfort 2 headphones would be even nicer, with built-in 
noise canceling, but at $299 they were out of my budget. If you do a 
lot of flying, however, I'd seriously consider them, as the noise 
canceling feature is really nice and works very well.
