How long have you had them?  The natural curve around your ear should create some "memory" with the cable after time and they should be fine after a week or so.....I would think?

You are right, after a few weeks the cable will get the shape and it actually works really well. I had the same thoughts at the beginning with that cable but now I don´t miss the braided cable and the ear hooks at all... unless you use them to run!

That seems to make sense, but I literally couldn't get them to stay for more than 10 seconds.  Maybe I just have weird ears or something.  I ended up using the small velcro strap that came with the headphones combined with a small orthodontics rubber band and it works perfectly.  After putting on the headphones, I just slide the strap up slightly under my chin and it's held securely in place.  Perhaps now the "memory" will start to hold.

Its a damn shame.  Westone has, what,  almost 20 IEM's and they discontinue the ONE that people REALLY want (as opposed to hot garbage like W50).  Go figure.
 
COLOSSAL   EPIC   FAILURE ! ! !

  I don't use my iPhone anymore but I did use it with the W40s for some time. I usually kept the volume one click below halfway, sometimes 2 or 3 below. I never went to halfway, this seemed to be too loud and harmful for my ears.
 
When I was younger I worked as a live sound engineer in music venues and unfortunately did not use hearing protection most of the time so I may have a bit of hearing loss.

Wow!
 
Just got my W40s in the mail and i listen via my iPhone 6+.
I have no idea how anyone could listen almost halfway ! :)
 
For example with pop music, I'm listening at 2 clicks out of 16 on the volume dial.
At home it's perfectly listenable moving the finger close to 0 (less than 1 click).
I am listening too quiet ?!?!!?
 
I have no way to measure what SPL i am getting, it's very frustrating.
With floorstanders it's so easy to calibrate them to 70db SPL.

Just put on one earpiece and match the volume to your speakers, that would be close enough.
