Personally, I find the whole concept of in-ear phones utterly disgusting
( I
have quite waxy ears). The only thing that goes inside them (very
carefully)
are Q-tips to clean the wax out.

Do you *need* anything that small ?

I have yet to find a pair of in the ear phones that will stay in my ears.
They are totally useless.

Specific models or general advice about what to look out for and what
to avoid?

I use, and heartily recommend, Koss "The Plug" earphones. The last 2 pairs
were bought for about a fiver from Amazon Marketplace.

They're supplied with little spongy "cones" that sit in the ear, but I make
replacements with proper earplugs, like this...

(if you Google for "koss plug modification" you'll find several other
methods)

They drown out the noise of the daily commute and the constant stream of
bull**** from my supervisor perfectly.
