Denon AH-C700 for about £70 from Amazon or iHeadphones.
Deep, tight bass.
Great mids and forward vocals.
Lovely highs (after about 20 hours use, before then they can be harsh)
Superb build quality, with aluminium housing and knot free cable
Excellent detail and very smooth, great for any type of music.

How are the tips, and the seal with the ear? I like the foam tips with my e2c.

Silicon tips, but the Shure foam tips fit, just swap them if you prefer.

I shall by buying the ULTIMATE EARS SUPER.FI 5 PRO, dual driver, all the review praise them! Much better than my e2c's, which have broken on me twice.  all i need to do is get my archos replaced, and my shure e2cs replaced so i can sell them. sorted.

Many have difficulty with their fit, I hope they work out for you.
On the plus side, they have a detachable cable that will allow you some experimentation if you want to tweak their sound in future.

I have the Super.Fi 3, but for fit they're the same as the as the 5s, and they're the most comfortable earphones I've ever worn. But then again, I use the double flange tips so I must have some pretty weird ears.

As to risk, if you buy from a company with good returns policy you should be OK if you struggle with fit.

Have a look at the Westone UM1's: - http://www.pjbox.co.uk/Westone-UM1-NEW.htm
I originally had UM1's, but upgraded them to UM2's about a year later. Excellent phones, really rich sounding. Plus, they're the only in-ear phones I've been able to get a good fit with (and that includes Shures and Ultimate Ears).
Mark.

I've had 2 pairs of the super.fi 5 pros. I ebayed the first pair about 2 years ago to finance something else. The second pair, bought recently, were definately different to the first. Dunno if they now use cheaper materials (silicone tips were much harder) but I just couldn't get a decent seal like before. In the first lot I always got a "pop" as they were pulled out of my ears. The new ones just don't do that. It's difficult to make a seal and they fall out easily. The sound seemed different too. Not as good as I remember and enjoyed. I also had to ebay these. Personally, I was disappointed and I wouldn't buy again.
