I don't own a pair of the ES800M (company I ordered them from shipped the ES100i instead so I missed my chance) so I can't yet compare, but I have since come across the JBM MJ800 and honestly regard it as my best IEM to date. It is better than my other Awei's and my Monoprice 9927/8320 IEMs. I've even used these to compare sound quality against a pair of Monster Turbines I picked up, and the Monsters (after 24 hours of burn in) were inferior in sound quality to these. I use memory foam tips which truly makes a difference in sound quality. And I found out these are very dynamic with equalizer settings. Without any EQ, they are overly bassy, vieled, and weak in detail. But man, get a good EQ setting saved for this IEM and it shines very bright. Cymbals crash with detail, you can hear the bass drum pedal hit before the bass overwhelms it, the vocalist is clear, and the soundstage is the widest I have ever heard with the instrument separation being excellent. My Awei's (especially the ES120i) trail closely in SQ behind it but I take my hat off to the MJ800.

 

If the ES800M is better as you guys say it is, it's got some big shoes it needs to fill.

Well, maybe I don't praise them as much as kickin81, but I like them and I perfectly understand why people have so much different opinions on them. The key is fit. They arent the kind of IEMs that require deep insertion. In fact that's what makes them muddy. They work only when you wear them a little loose, use comfy shallow insertion. That way they still keep a good seal, but their midrange somehow opens. That's how I wear any warm earphones, but I noticed that not everybody does so. You just need to try it :) I'm sure everybody can get to like them like I did.

I got myself a pair of the ES800M and I must admit that it is the better earbud with regard to clarity and sound stage--two important factors I depend on for my overall rating. The JBM MJ800 is overly bassy in comparison and provides a noticably narrower sound stage. The clarity is overshadowed by the heavy bass. That kind of bass from the deeper, lower frequency--under 100 k. It is however more up front and in your face. The ES800M is more laid back and I will guess that it's because of the wider sound stage. It's time I re-evaluate my earbuds. etysmile.gif
