So I'm not sure which Sennheiser earphone I should buy? The CX500 or the MM50? Both are the same price and I can't find much of a difference on either. Which has the best sound quality and which would fall out the lest?

"Which Sennheiser is best?"
IE-8

... I asked between the the CX500 or the MM50.

I believe the MM50 is just a CX300 with a mic, so I'm thinking the CX500 should be the better of the two.

MM50 are designed for mobile phones so go with the CX500.

can anyone comment on this?

i was told by a few audiophiles that cx500 is really muddy and the bass is way too strong, and not clear bass, fart cannon bass. (lol fart).

im loking for an upgrade from my Shure E2C, would the cx500 be a good choice?

Try consider CX95 or CX550 (both are similar except design iirc)

Try to consider IE 8

If choose between CX 500 and MM50 i would go to CX500.

X2. Get these instead. They cost only slightly more and the build quality is far better than the CX 300-500 series.

And what about comfort? CX 500 way more comfortable.... as far as i know.

Actually, I find my CX550s just melt away into my ears, while the CX300 just feels awkward at times. It's funny because, in pictures, the CX95/550 seems to look much less comfortable at first glance.

Anyway, X3 for the CX95/550 for the sound quality and comfort.
