What I do is leave the ear hooks molded to my ears, then I hang them on my ears loosely, then I gently tilt them forward and twist 'em into my ears. I don't have to reshape the hook because I don't tilt them far enough forward to mess the hooks up.

Does that make sense?

It does make it a lot easier to understand that way! I'll still have to take it back though, I don't think it's normal for the earbuds to lose sound if you press on it harder than usual.

That's definitely not normal. Maybe they're defective? I'd get a new pair.

Edit: Also, I find the IE Pro (large) ear tips to be a lot more comfortable than the regular IE line of ear tips. Maybe you could order some of those? They still have the little piece of foam inside for tuning, so they should work great.

I ended up finding the silicone ear tips more bearable than the foam/silicone mix (whereas the Comply foams that I had for my old setup where too long) haha

I do think it could be a problem on the 4.4 cable (testing them on the 2.5 didn't have the same issues), so I'll just see if I could get a new cable first.
