Anyone know of a specific model of earphones that fit well with a motorcycle helmet? I've used standard iPhone earphones and they seem to slide off each time I turn my neck. Quality matters, but I don't want to spend $100 on earphones.

I have skull candy ear buds I bought for like $20 off ebay. They are very good noise cancelling earphones and would suspect that it would work well with wind as well.
Being a new rider, I haven't had the chance to start listening to music and riding as I need to concentrate
The best ones, are the the kind that go around your ear, dont know what their called though.my iPhone ones keep falling out, I bought them from shoppers for 20 bucks and they work really good
Using some cheap $20 skull candy earbuds. Only wear them for highway riding, where it is either wind noise or music. In town it is not a good idea to listen to music.
I use ultimate ears 700's with comply foam tips. Just the right amount of ambient noise reduction with awesome sound quality for music. These are hands down the best sounding buds I've ever owned, they are well worth the money.
iPhone earbuds start to slip out as soon as the helmet goes on. I've heard someone on here mention that they had earplugs that are also earphones. Sounds interesting. I'm just planning on getting an intercom and wearing earplugs to reduce road noise. This one apparently is loud enough to hear with earplugs in.
Shure SE215's. Amazing sound quality, and up to 37dB of sound attenuation. You don't have to blast your music full volume and kill your hearing. They also sit totally flush in your ear as they are proper in-ear-monitors.. Don't bother my ears with a helmet on.

I have those with some extra foam tips but I don't think I get anywhere near 37dB of reduction with them on as the orange foam earplugs are 33dB reduction and they work well. Maybe I need to play around with the tips a little more.
If you look on redflagdeals occasionally you'll see a thread on earphones pop up for a brand that costs around $20-30 and apparently is fantastic (according to the HeadFi people). I think they are called MeElec or something. Most importantly remember this...without any hearing protection constantly riding your bike will lead to loss of hearing. If you do wear headphones don't defeat the purpose of passive noise isolation (from the in canal buds) and turn your music way way up.
Helmet speakers WITH earplugs.
Earplugs block out all the wind noise, and helmet speakers are loud enough and close enough to be heard clearly through the earplugs.
I bought these and really like them. http://earfuze.com/store.html I used to have issues with earphones falling out when I put my helmet on or pressing against a point for so long it started to hurt but all was solved with these.
I went through skullcandy headphones every other week even with their warranty and I have used these panasonics for the last year without a single problem, they are super tiny and you don't even feel them under the lid.
My favourite cheapie earphones are the Creative EP-630, decent sound quality and dirt cheap. I pair them with Comply eartips (basically foam earplugs with a hole in the middle) for better sound isolation.
Awesome system and can be ordered relatively cheap from distributors in BC, and the iphone 4's voice control system means I never have to take my hands off the bars..
