I have used in ear monitors regularly over the last few years, starting with Sennheiser Cx300s, then going to Ultimate Ears Superfi 3 (?) and currently Etymotic Hf5s.

I must admit that I was unable to wear many of them for long periods, or to get them fitted correctly in a consistent manner. However, I stumped up the cash and got a set of custom moulds for the Etys and these have made a big difference. The custom moulds fit comfortably and consistently and allow me to use the IEMs for longer periods. I can now use these without irritation for my 1 hour (each way) commute to and from work. I only use the Etys for the commute. At home I prefer my Denon AH-D2000 because they isolate enough background sound (usually the TV), but they are easier to remove when other family members want to talk with me.
