It should be interesting to hear just how well them cheapo dac will play. Hifimediy first impression here.  http://www.head-fi.org/t/626632/tiny-dac-big-sound-impression-of-stoner-acoustics-ud100-vs-odac/135#post_8837442  Sounds legit for a cheapo to me.
 
I like my Fire Pheonix but I like my bravo amp even better. I want a good sounding dac to pair up with it. I have more hopes for the Hifimediy DAC over the Ele hifi dac but who knows. It might be the MP8320 of DACs. We wont know until someone tries it.

Funniest thing happened.
I went back to my beloved Denon D2K's this evening after listening to the MH1c for about a week now.

I'm selling them.
 
Sure. It's not fair comparing an iem to a full size headphone. A good one at that.
D2k's have these iems beat in soundstage and instrument separation and refinement and all that other good technical stuff.
But.
In addition to finding out that what I thought was stellar subbass on the D2k's is nothing compared to what iems can do (cuz their closer to your eardrums and all that good stuff).
In addition.
I prefer the sound signature of this MH1c (and soon to be xba-3).
 
 
On a tangent.
I finally understand the frustration people have with the cable.
Most of my prior listening as while laying in bed or sitting down listening or walking/jogging.
Tried using them while doing chores and all the turning/moving I had to do with my neck made them almost fall out my ears and had to readjust the fit.
Guess I'll be doing the "transform to y-cable" tape mod afterall.

the ud100 looks interesting. how usable are these DACs without an amp?

WOW!
Good for you, glad you found something worthy and in an IEM no less. And how much le$$ even.
Did I really just read that.
Congratulations are in order there.
 I am sort of having a similar experience with some IEM's ( T-PEOS H-100 )I just got , looking over at some LOTS OF FULLSIZED
STUFF I HAVE and thinking the exact same thing, not many come close to these, and when i get the MH1C's it looks like it will be even worse.
 
On a side note A fella who was a beta tester for the T-PEOS H-100 popped into that thread with some feedback and some interesting news. I'll just quote it here.
Haven't located any of them yet to assess the price of them or availability, but heck worth mentioning. THANKS to Raphael.

And just a few days ago, LG launched new Optiums-G with brand new IEM as bundle.

I just placed an order for Sony MH1C IEMs. Thanks to this thread. In addition, thanks to someone who managed to inflate the price by 10 USD (50% more than original price) only in two weeks! ;D
 
On a side note, I'm also considering to get cheap IEMs for running and gym. I don't think MH1C will be suitable for that as many Head-Fi'ers having problems with a cable. Or am I wrong?
 
I picked up some candidates and wondering if anyone can comment about them. By the way, price limit is 15 USD, would be perfect if it's under 10$. Any recommendations besides listed below?
 
1. UE 200;
2. JVC Riptidz;
3. audiOHM;
4. Panasonic RPHJE120K;
5. JVC HAEB75.

Phillips 3580 sounds very good and its better than the 1, 2 and 3.   But the cable is very noise if you gonna use it for running you will need to turn up the volume.
 
 
i am using my Koss KSC75 latley for running,  woooowwww.. so light, so easy to use, also helps me being aware of my sourrandings (sp), and man, they sound absolutly fantastic.

Thanks for your input. I used to run with KSC75 but didn't like the experience.
 
I see you also have Panasonic HJE120, how would you rate them? If they're decent, I may get them because they're the cheapest. In addition, I'm a bit surprised that you didn't rate UE 200 high, I read many good things about them.

i would rate them like these,  IMO:
 
3580   8 Points
UE200:   6 points
Riptidz:   5.5 points
Panas 120:  5.3 points
 

IMO, the 3580 are much better than all these cheapos, and by a far margin.

3580 and 3680 are reported to sound exactly the same,  check Joe's thread.
