I've not played enough to really comment, with these, but you get 3 different size cilicon tips that you can change out. So, yeah. They seem to fit pretty well. The only thing I don't like is they feel kind a like they'd fall out, even though they don't seem to do so no matter what I do.
I think you'd be fine. The only drawback I can say with these is if you're wanting to soundscape, or record things in your surroundings, like a class lecture etc. don't even attempt. These seem to only work at what is real close up to the mike.
