I have been using Shure SE215s with a wireless monitor system for the
past 5 or 6 years with no trouble. They come with about 8 different
sets of soft ear piece covers so you shouldn't have any trouble finding
ones that fit well. In addition, the wire just below the ear pieces is
very stiff and can be bent to fit tightly around your ear. I put a
safety pin inside my shirt at the neck (usually through the label at the
back of the neck) and run the cable down through that. With the Y of
the cable above the safety pin it can't get pulled down by my guitar
strap.
