If it is going over-the-ears then microphonics won't be a problem for most cable.

Well, my initial impressions of Tomahawk's are good! I'm trying to use now with fit like E100* which I'm used and the narrow soundstage sensation of Tomahawks looks slight wide and mids/vocals a bit more neutral fitting in this way, very sweet. *picture (sorry for bad quality, old logitech webcam).

Hi all, i remember someone here has hifiman es100. How is it sound? Is it worth on it's price?
I'm interesting because i love all Hifiman DAP. But never try it's bud. Maybe it's great to have one

I have it. It´s airy and has good mids, but imo it lacks bass. Price? Well, compared to the Monk almost all earbuds are too expensive. But I like it more than the Stagediver SD2 I also own.

Thanks mate. As i guess, neautral buds always lack of bass. May be you've ever compared it to tomahawk? I have chance to get this bud from my friend only $35, as i see the new one in amazone is around $69

It´s neutral, but also kinda sweet sounding. No, I haven´t heard the tomahawk, but if you don´t know the VE Monks, I´d suggest listening to them first, before you think about spending more money. They might be all you need.

Thanks for the advice. I already have ve monk, asura beta&v1, ve zen 1&2, tomahawk.
Just wanna try different sound

Looks like it's going to be a busy week for me. I should be seeing my Monk Plus, Tomahawk and hopefully my Shozy Cygnus as well over the next few days...

Been listening mostly to my Asura 2.0 lately...

Did you see the pic of my ES100 with my g1217 amp a few pages ago?

They are my favorite earbud. Period. I have not yet heard Zen or Cygnus but the only thing that could make ES100 better IMO is a bit better bass extension.

I seem to be in the minority for loving ES100 but all other earbuds I find are not as balanced or honest sounding.

They sound like nothing else you have. Probably closest to asura 2.0 but ES100 is better at.. well... everything IMO. Except maybe female vocals.

Almost the same here got the asura 2.0 and tomahawk out the door, and monk plus/zen2.0/rose mojito/cygnus on their way in!

I lost the auction for the MX985 on ebay, haha. My max bid was 95 but it sold for just shy of 130. Did anyone here get it?

But unfortunately my dap is bright type too. Lack of bass, not sure if i use it with es100 it will extend the bass. And i'm not an "amp" guy. Much prefer direct set up for daily.
Maybe i'll try es100 or gramo one someday. Thx mate

The only thing to keep in mind then, is they're 150ohm. My Xduoo X3 can do about 200mW/32 ohms and I have to keep volume at ~70 where I usually use ~50. If your DAP is weak they might not be a good mix. But if they can power the ES100 they are so amazing. The detail and accuracy is really amazing.
