Great sound, but handling is a bit fiddly
I bought the IE 100 Pro for casual listening and music production, and am overall very happy with them.
They replace a pair of beyerdynamic DTX-101iE and DTX-71iE in-ear headphones (which both suffer from worn cables after years of use).
My impression after several months of use:
Pro:
* Great sound. Transparent but not overly trebly, which makes them suitable for longer periods of casual listening too.
* They are comfortable to wear. The over-the-ear cable routing does not cause me any trouble when wearing glasses.
* The cable is replaceable. The replacement cable is a bit pricey on its own, but when factoring in the time it takes to adjust ones ears to a different set of headphones instead, it will probably be worth it.
Cons:
* In-ears require frequent cleaning, and cleaning the IE 100 Pro takes me longer than it did for my old beyerdynamics. This is because one needs to pry out the little foam piece inside each ear piece with the (provided) tool beforehand. At least that's the recommended way, otherwise the risk of losing the foam pieces in the sink is just too high.
* The purse is a bit small and rather thin, so the headphones need to be handled carefully even when inside the purse. The cleaning tool and extra earpieces do not really fit in the purse.
* With the default rubber ear pieces, they do not drown out exterior noise that well (but one is free to use the silicone alternatives instead).
Overall worthy of five stars, yet with four stars for comfort (cleaning and carrying annoyances). Noise isolation is good enough but not perfect, so four stars for that.

they have an absolutely awesome sound! very recommendable
sadly they tend to fall out easily if one is not just sitting very still while using them

Aangename in-ears
Ik gebruik deze als drummer in een band en ze sluiten voldoende het geluid van de andere bandleden af om bijvoorbeeld je clicktrack te kunnen horen. Ze zitten ook aangenaam in je oren. Ik heb wel een verlengkabel aangeschaft aangezien de kabel niet echt lang is. Zeer goede kwaliteit voor deze prijs.

Good sound
There is nothing much to say it's adorable and working in ear monitor, I use it almost 6 months to hear on stage drums, metronome click vocal and my guitar with mic from marshall stack, it's very helpful cause not always I'm able to hear drums and my instrument due to running on the stage and jumping out of it this monitors help me hear exactly what is happening and play on time with the bend
One more advice combine it with descent wireless system to be free to move anywhere on the stage without thinking about wires on the floor

Very decent sound quality, especially considering the price. Quite comfortable, although I never used these for more than a couple of hours non-stop. Good quality build like everything Sennheiser does. Definitely recommend these.

Top price/quality ratio
Just went for the entry level stuff under 100 euros and was very pleasantly surprised. Sound is the best thing they have going on for them imho. Sound isolation is okay, but if you have a bunch of amplifiers and monitor wedges blasting in your direction you might need some more isolation. Wearing comfort is also alright, especially given the price range. All in all I am pretty happy with mine, and depending on the use case they can be a very worthwhile purchase.
