I got the MS02 in my blue box and they're decent IEM's for $40. The "smooth sound" favors the electronic beats and flavors of current pop and will make these a great upgrade from somebody used to the average ear buds.
Personally I favor greater clarity than these offer, but if I change my V30's sound setting to Enhanced it sharpens up the sound nicley while still maintaining warm and detailed bass.
I like the long stem design; capped with some Comply foam tips these are very comfortable. They're light enough to not pull themselves out of your ears while walking but I don't know about heavy exercise.
Build quality seems okay, the cable is kind of stiff and smelled awful when I first opened the Altoid box they came in. After a little offgassing they smell fine 😉
So I'm happy to have them in my arsenal for $40, at $110 I would have been dissapointed though, so don't pay retail.
