Love the the Ety's in the ear with the custom ear molds.  They are very comfortable too.
And block out  EVERY THING!
What me worry?

The loudspeaker(s) excites the room, but you're so close to the loudspeaker that you don't hear the room response. Most recording studios have a pair of high quality loudspeakers mounted on top of the console for exactly that purpose. They also have a larger pair that DOES excite the room.

There are other good choices, but these are well established, widely available, and not expensive. All are VERY comfortable for LOOONG contest weekends (although comfort in the ER4 depends on matching the ear piece to your ear).
