Ok, so...Plugfones. In short, not bad. They don't sound quite as good as the er6i, and they don't isolate noise quite as well. However, they're like $20, plus they have the virtue of actually being available to buy. I haven't had a chance to test the hours-on-end comfort level, but so far I'd give them a sold B+ for suitability-to-purpose, and A+ for value.
you can't go wrong in trying these as they're so cheap.
I had been using the MEE's and while not perfect, they worked well enough. Then I came across the Plugfones. I have ear canals that are on the smaller size so the foam inserts are too large and uncomfortable. The silicone barb inserts work perfectly and seal out ALL road noise and allow for music volume levels to be reduced without sacrificing sound listening quality.
I have ridden with the Plugfones on a few 6-8 hour rides, with multiple stops and they pull out and reinsert without any issues. The comfort is good. I got mine from eBay.
