Excellent for everyday use
I use these for listening to music and podcasts during the day, In other words: Can't comment on on-stage monitoring performance.
Soundwise I can compare to a variety of full-sized headphones. From the usual Suspects, my favorites would be:
Sennheiser HD650, AKGk702, Beyer DT250
All these I consider to be fairly neutral (as opposed to e.g. a Sony MDR V6 / MDR 7506 which is nice, but not neutral).
The Sennheiser IE 100 Pro appear to be mostly neutral to me, too.
Treble is somewhat enhanced as far as I can tell, but not in a dominant way: They are not sibilant and not fatiguing.
So soundwise, I am very pleased. They offer a neutral, great sounding picture.
Soundstage / Instrument separation is very good for a headphone, especially in-ear phones:
The spatial origin of sounds seem to extend well beyon my head.
Replaceable cable is a must. As soon as those disappear, my money will disappear.
My biggest grudge with Sennheiser: Replacement part prices.
There simply is not justification for selling 4 cents worth of plastic foam for 40 bucks. No problem with profit margin but not three orders of magniute. (Looking at you, HD 650 earpads)
Cable for this thing: 40 bucks again. (IE40 cable)
I am looking forward to test durability with these.
Overall: Great product.

Good budget ear bud
I play bass guitar in a 5 piece wedding band, overall very happy with these. The sound is pretty flat, not great for bass. Very comfortable tho and the sound isolation is brilliant I find.

After I all the research
I spent so long researching. These ones came out top almost every time. I wanted some high quality in-ears for reference when mixing.
I am unsure if the pair I have are faulty, or if all these sound like this, but, they are lacking substance, depth, width and bass. Completely average in every regard. Maybe that's the point?? But, I find them practically useless as any sort of "reference". Am I missing the point?
Still, they are entirely cold and joyless to listen to my mixes on.

Great In-Ears for Monitoring and Sports
I was looking for a in ear pair that could be used for monitoring myself when playing guitar, as well as listening to music while doing sports. The sennheiser are great for both cases. They can be very loud without distoring the sound, which is perfect for monitoring applications in noisy environments or band practices. For my second use case, sports the fit in the ear is very important. Even during long jogging sessions, they don't fall out of the ear thanks to their over the ear cable constuction. The connectors are very stable, also the overall manufacturing quality is very good for the price.

Excellent for the price!
Cable's angle very good even for small ears, Wide frequency response, very good even to listen music at home; all in all it's an excellent product, i would consider it the minimum if you aim for quality!

High quality but not the average audiophile earhones
Stage is rather narrow, mids are more profound and profile is flat, so keep that in mind if you looking to buy for music listening. However it's all could be beneficial for the trained ear and if you don't mind adjusting to all of that
