Have a look at the Shures as well. EC2's very good at around £35 (ebay) but the EC4's are superb (£130ish)
Lots of different fittings etc - noise reduction pretty good - bass excellent and very discreet.

Shure EC2 sound quality is diabolical, I bought some (to replace some Sony ear canals) and a week later went out and got some Sennheiser CX300 (I think that's the model name, they were £39.99 when I got them in June last year) they are perfectly adequate (help me get through 2 hrs a day on the indoor rower) and due to the ear canal styling cancel out most noise. The sound quality is excellent for what they are, far better value than Bose QC's IMHO. Bose QC's are far too bulky for my everyday needs and I couldn't be doing with them on board either for the same reasons.
As far as I was aware, any decent pair of 'ear canal' style earphones come with 3 different sizes so should fit most people.
Oh yeah, QC's don't fit in with my hair style either
