Many of us here use PK1, PK2, ATH-CM700 or some other good earbuds. The earbuds sound and comfort are very dependable on the foams used. I found a very nice set of cushions for Sennheiser MX75 available at Sennheiser USA online store. Set include 4 grey foams with smaller pores than those of PK1/PK2 original foams. So MX75 foams are less scratchy and more comfortable for those with sensitive ears (like me). Moreover, each set include two pairs of silicone rings of different sizes, which someone may prefer over foams. Rings are of very vivid green color, which someone may dislike. Probably, the same set for Sennheiser MX55 contains grey rings, though I am not sure.
Complete set picture - first 3 rows are specific tips for MX75 (useless for usual buds):
Pictures of silicone rings on my PK1:
I prefer PK1 with punched foam. These provides better details.
And I prefer PK2 with usual foam, which tame highs a bit.
And finally, see a very interesting combo! Put the ring first and foam then to increase earbud size. This may provide more stable fit for someones large ears like mine. This also increases soundstage a little bit.

Those green rings do not fit OK1 and OK2.
NOTES:
You may see that both of my PK1 and PK2 are recabled. I have a good friend who did that trick for me. These cables much better resist to our cold winter than original Yuin cables. Cables were taken from JVC HA-FX33 (Marshmallow) and iGrado.
You may also pay attention that some foams are punched. The same good friend made me a nice tool to cut these holes - metal tube with sharp edge.
