They really just go into your ears like you would stick any IEM in there. Pull up your ear and twist it in. The flange keeps it from falling out. I took a pic with my crappy phone, but the t-mobile account is "migrating", so I can't access it. But really, it's like any iem, pull up ear, twist in to your comfort/position, and listen. It just doesn't go in deep, and the flat part becomes almost flush with your ear.
Lately, I've been using the headband. The headband is really taught, and more or less PUSHES them into your ear. But for whatever reason, it's not uncomfy. And I have SMALL ear canals.
As far as leakage, they don't leak out alot. Actually, I use them on the bus and have them turned up fairly high to overcome the bus noise, and my roomy doesn't know what I'm listening to. He can hear music, but it's too soft to know what it is, unlike Grados where somebody on the other side of the room can tell you what you're listening to.
And they let in as much as any open can does. A little less though because obviously, it's not something ON your ear, it's something IN your ear, so there's less surface area for the sound to travel in.
They synergize REALLY good with bright sources because of their darker presentation. It didn't synergize too well with my Keces unit, and frankly, sounded too dark. But with the bright and forward presentation of the touch, it's PERFECT. With it's footprint, it's almost like it was destined to happen, lol.
