Lurk650
Headphoneus Supremus
I would max source and only control analog volume
If iems end up not working out for you, make sure you also check out earbuds. They have really come a long way in the last few years, and it's amazing what kind of sound you can get for under $100 with them. The thread: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/earbuds-round-up.441400/unread
I have to say I find the sound signature and tuning to be very similar to specifically the HD800S. In fact the Lyra II has a warmer vibe a lot like the HD650 as well. Of course both IEMs don’t have the soundstage or detail quite as much but I am really impressed with both.
They are hard to recommend at their respective price points but I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed with the Andromedas. They may not be everyone’s cup of tea but only because some prefer coffee. They also have made an excellent pairing with the ES100 with every genre I throw at it. If I want a little more bass I can always EQ it in and it sounds great. Everything from classical, to classic rock, to hip hop, to pop sounds amazing on it with or without EQ.
I am very fond of the HD800S even though it may have sacrificed a hair more than I would have wanted it to from the high end to the low end. I also am a fan of the HD650’s for their warm silky, buttery chocolate sound. I am fond of the Andromedas and Lyra II in the same way. Im actually fearful of trying the Atlas because I’m sure I’ll like it and I’m just not ready to breakup with my Andromedas yet lol.
Thanks for this insight. It helped me in making my mind up. I placed an order for the Andromeda's this morning.
I’d like to see Earstudio do something like this but a bit more refined.
Found these on amazon and going to give them a go.

Hoping I can double back on the wire to avoid having to buy a shorter cable with just a short run dangled down to plug into the es100.
I wonder if radsone could make a neckband version of the es100? Or something like the above that the es100 could clip onto?
@wslee is it possible? Thanks
So, I finally got the ES100
The balanced cables are on the way. I understand, how through the android app, I can set the settings when connecting to my phone. But, how do I control the settings, when connecting to my laptop?
You still control the settings via the app on your phone.
That's strange. When the ES100 is connected to my laptop, and then I try to go the Earstudio App, and do "Device Search", it says no "Paired Devices" found. So, I'm not able to control any of the ES100 settings, when it is paired with the laptop. Or does it work this way that, when you pair it with you phone, and then change the settings in the Earstudio App, the changed settings will apply for Laptop, and if you want to change the settings at a later time, you need to connect to your phone, change it again, and then repair with laptop or other device??
Also, would you mind checking the filter settings, that I have posted
I was wrong. I see that I can't control anything via the phone app once the es100 is connected to my computer. Possibly the last settings apply when connected to computer, but I'm not sure. I will check out those filter settings when I can.
Try toggling your phones bt and/or restarting the earstudio app. Works for me
