I've seen various shapes, but the issue that comes up is how well the shape spreads out pressure on the ear. Teardrops are really about the only alt shape that's survived more than a few prototypes because there's no edges to put extra pressure on pin point locations.

nekowafer:
I've seen ovals do well, and very rounded triangles. I can see an octagon shape doing well if it's rounded enough, but I haven't seen them anywhere.

And heart-shaped, though the actual wearable part of the plug is a lot closer to round than the flares (the parts that stick out in front of and behind the earlobe:

There are square ones as well, but they almost always look too sharp at the corners to be comfortable or good for your ears.
