Do you use yours?
I pulled mine out of the packaging for the first time today - bought the iPhone in August. They kept falling out of my ears, I had to reseat them every 4 or 5 paces.
I also have a pair of Sennheisers, but I haven't used them for a long time either - they are currently sitting on my desk at work, hence the reason I grabbed the Apple ones, when I took the dog for a walk today.
Most of the time, I just have my iPhone in my breast pocket or in the door of my car and listen to podcasts.

I have a pair of Bose Triport in ear headphones. They're ridiculously comfortable and quiet (for people not wearing them). Good bass, good treble (for earphones). Even on full volume people around me can't hear what I'm listening to. I've had them for 2 and a half years now and they're still going strong. The only down side is that the plug has a square box thing on and makes the wire come out perpendicular to the device. i.e.  And when in my pocket the wire was bent at an angle so the rubber sleeve coming off the box snapped at one side. I've superglued it now but it would have been nicer for it not to happen.

Don't often use the iphone for music. For video, I use the internal speaker.
But on the odd occasion that I need to use earphones, I use the ones that came with one of my Sony Ericsson phones that have over-the-ear semi-loops to hold them in place.

Don't have an eyePoon... I use either Sennheised CX400/500's as they are or I use my HeadDirect IEM RE2's http://www.head-direct.com/product_detail.php?p=23$29 and they sound great, I bought mine for $50, they need a pocket amp or don't carry much bass though, which can be a good thing depending on the music I am listening to.

I have used neither my iPod clone nor my 'phone to listen to music for so long I can't even remember where the head phones are. To be honest, I doubt I'll ever use the mp3 player ever again since I always have the phone with me. When I do listen to music on the 'phone, it's usually on the internal speaker because I never have the headphones with me. However, I voted PIE! because that's something I do far more often.
I need to sort something out for an upcoming trip. I expect I'll use my 25 year old Sony Walkman headphones, since they're comfy and OK quality. The ones that came with the phone are actually quite good, but the cable is very long and messy. I really wish cordless headphones were better and cheaper, because I really hate cables.

What do you vote for if you've got a Sansa Fuze and some cheap Sennheiser CX200s (which are actually rather good), but aren't in the mood for pie?
