I second that - the Etymotics earphones are excellent - I have used them on BA for many years (and just purchased the more sensitive model for an iPod too).
In my unscientific view it is better to stop the noise reaching the ears (Etymotics approach) rather than add out-of-phase noise on top of the noise (Bose et al approach), isn't it?
