oh cool, I didn't know he was still selling those. It's too late now though, heh. I already shelled out quite a bit to try some of those VE buds.
if you need some more help deciding
I picked up as many of the earbuds discussed in this thread as I could in the past month to see what you guys were talking about. And because they're cheap like candy, but actually worth the money.
This includes the E100, H180, and some other old ones like the TG38s, ES10, MC5, MX760. Unfortunately it was too hard to get some Blox m2c or BE5...
but of the earbuds I do have, the E100 definitely wins best value. Most versatile sound imo and best bass, one of the top 2-3 in my rotation.
I don't understand why so many people have fit problems with them though, cause they're the smallest circumference-wise. They fit just like every other earbud to me, but I really dont know cause I have mutant alien ears.
if they do fit, bloodypenguin, I wanna say you'll never touch your ES10 or MC5 again

Certainly no fit issues with the E100 for me - quite the opposite. These may well be the most comfortable pair of earphones (including IEMS) I have ever used. Like pillows in my ears, so light and soft.
Was walking to work with them this morning, and playing Bitches Brew. I was in heaven. The soundstage is open, the instrument separation layered and placed wonderfully, the lows mids and highs all balanced and liquid and sounding so right. I want to use the word effortless.
Oh, these things are more addictive than burgers fried in crack.
MrZ tomahawk sounds like Mx985. Any differences depend on the fit to your ear
I bought them and will let you know if this sound engineer has learned anything in the last 10 years

Today I received the TENNMAK DIY EC70 using Sennheiser IE800 cable .....

I'll post a quote from another buyer "beautiful quality & sound. extremely high imaging, better than ie800. the joints move smoothly and seems durable. it has a warm smooth bass with clear vocal and highs"
I could not agree more with this other buyer, very well made with worth every penny ($19), nice tight fit and once on correctly they stay in your ear. If your an active user (i.e, running or working out you will love these). love the IE800 cable and they don't feel cheaply made.
1st impressions on the sound, extremely clear, detailed vocals and extremely good bass, no distortion and sound is not muffled. I'm on the sideline but sound stage, while it's there just not a fore front.
Tony the maker was also very kind in sending a 2nd pair of IEMs to try out.
Bottom line... for $19, no complaints from me very pleased and surprised.
