I agree 100%. I ditched the iPod buds within a week and have been using the E3Cs for a couple years now. My set came with three different type of plug (foam, gray rubber, black(?) rubber), and the rubber plugs each came in three different sizes. The small gray rubber works best for me, I've worn them on flights for 6+ hrs at a time with absolutely zero discomfort. Blocks out almost all ambient noise too without having to crank up the volume, no engine noise, no snoring traveling companion, no screaming baby, in fact someone usually needs to poke me and tell me when it's time to turn off the iPod. Sound quality is pretty darn impressive for a set of l'il buds.
My brother in law plays guitar for a local band, classic rock, modern rock, etc. He uses the Shure E5Cs on stage and loves 'em.
