I've been noticing reviewers speaking about "burn in". What is required with these buds?

I've happily owned a pair of these phones for a while, and use them daily. I'm aware of burn-in considerations, especially as I used to mess around with high end speakers and drivers years ago. My experience with these exact phones is that the bass notes did show some increased quickness within a couple of weeks. It was nothing earth shattering, but I remember noting that the bass response got a little more responsive as the phones broke-in. I do not believe that the Sennheisers need a formal break in with white noise generators or any such tools. It's just that you'll notice that you like them even a little more after the initial listening period. What I've noticed also is that I'm accustomed to the sound of these phones and when I use a different set, I'm not at all happy with the strange phones. The Sennheisers deliver a sound quality that is very attractive to me. They were a worthwhile investment in my way of looking at it. Good Luck with your decision.

Has anyone tried using earphone ear hooks on these ear buds?

I actually wrap the cable over my ear before placing the ear buds in my ear. They stay in fine, even while running.

I am looking for earbuds to use when watching movies on the iPad. Would these be a good fit?

Yes, They are in fact used in the profesional audio world for musicians personal monitoring. Not as the top of the line in this world but a nice affordable eardbuds used a lot for pro audio rentals companies. Top of the line earbuds cost more than double of these. In fact can reach US$200 ( IE 6 and nexts ). I got some of these IE 4 in fact to be used in a rental company, ( and a set for me )
