To those considering buying:
I had a pair of these a few years ago when they first came out. The sound quality is good for IEMs, decent bass, and decent volume. However, two nitpicks:
A) The rubber ear pieces can fall off fairly easily. I used these for day to day commuting and had them in my pocket when not in use, and often when pulling them back out of my pocket, one of the rubber pieces would fall off and be lost. I ended up having to order a baggie of replacement earpieces from Sennheiser to not run out.
B) Like many wired IEMs, the weakness of these is the wire itself. I had the first pair start to fray at the joint to the jack within a year, and sent it in to Sennheiser for warranty repair. The new pair they sent to me as replacement started fraying as well within another year.
Basically these are good IEMs, but if you want them to last you'll need to keep them in the case/some other container when carrying around, which wasn't ideal for an everyday pair of commuter earphones. However, at the new price of $40 there's no reason to pick up a pair or two, provided your phone/device still has a headphone jack.

TsuyoiI had bought a set of these for my (ex) girlfriend a number of years ago, and I agree completely with your nitpicks.
A) A set of comply tips is almost required for these.
B) That was what did that set in. She did something to yank the cable, breaking the connection in the right ear bud (tbf she later went on to break multiple sets of IEMs until she finally got a set of BT IEMs)
Edit: still going to buy a set for myself

I feel it's my responsibility to share the experience I had with these. I've owned three pairs of these and had big problems with all three. First, when I tried the first pair I couldn't believe the sound. It was amazing. My jaw literally dropped. They had the best sound I've ever heard, as was the instrument separation. I told myself that I would only buy Sennheiser products from then on. Now the problems, as others have said, they were constantly falling out of my ears and the cable would tangle up easier than any other IEM I had ever owned. The two worst things were that they are terribly made. The cables would start falling apart almost immediately. The other worst thing was the Sennheiser customer service. They refused to take them back, even though they met the requirements for a replacement. The last pair I had, I spoke to a woman and she told me to send them in and I should be able to get a replacement. After mailing them in, it was almost six weeks before I had any type of reply. That reply came as a box I received. It was the pair I had sent in. The reason I was given for refusal was that they showed signs of wear. I called and spoke to the same woman. I told her that of course they showed signs of wear, that was the problem. She told me to send them back and to put her name on the mailing label and she would make sure they were replaced. That replacement never came. I also was unable to speak to that woman. I tried calling, I tried emailing, I even sent a letter by regular mail. I also tried to talk with anyone else who would address my problem. That finally proved to me what kind of company I was dealing with. I swore I would never buy another Sennheiser product. Go on the Amazon site and you'll see reviews echoing what I just stated. If you you decide to go ahead and buy these, prepare for the problems I gave for being disappointed.

I’ve had two sets of these. They sound wonderful but they’re fragile. The silicone tips will not stay on the nozzles; in short order you’ll be using Spiral Dots or Dekoni Bulletz or some such.
im to the point where I will not buy an IEM without a detachable cable. It’s always the cable that goes bad. I know they’re keeping them small and light but I’m done with earphones you throw away when the cable breaks. If you don’t mind this, you will probably love these. Comfortable and small and great sound.

ClarkCizarBlon has the zeos recommendation! And replaceable cables.
Wait that was the BL05, but still better.

I had these back when they were 100 bucks. They were awesome to say the least. However the cable did break on me over time. It is angled but it can wear easily. Buyer's beware.

I had these, sold them, they suck, boomy bass and harsh high end akin to a handheld transistor radio
Etymotics ER2xr are way better, these are trash
by the way I have Sennheiser 800s and the full line of Etymotics

These were my go to pair of wired buds for a couple years. Now for $40, not the $100 or more I spent previously, this is easily a buy, even for backups.

These are great - I bought two sets of them 2 or 3 years ago.
Moreover they can be simply modded to be awesome.
First thing is to replace stock tips with something bigger and with broader canal for sound. This helps with the mids and the bass. The mids get a bit more detail and bass gets better control (though it still goes low).
The second mod is to take out the foam filters and cut one of them in half in order to make two thinner ones - and then put them back.
The highs get better extension and detail.
I've also tried removing the foam completely but then the sound gets shrilling and metalic. I've tried different materials too but the original foam is still the best.
As for the loose fit: the solution is quite simple, just wear them with cable around the top of the ears, like I do.
One more thing: these are my gym set for long cardio sessions, they can take a lot of sweat and I have never ever had any problems with them (almost 3 years now).
