Would that work, or is it a case of hating the in-ear once, hate it forever?

If I did get them I've read mixed reports on the PTH. It'd be handy for in airplanes I guess but some say it's a bit large and ugly. Whaddayareckon?
I've never been happy with how well the PTH does on airplanes, so I don't really use it much. If I need to talk, I just pull out one earbud.

As far as custom earmolds in the UK, a quick Google suggests these folks:

GBP25+VAT sounds pretty reasonable.
