the GR07 mk2s are going for $180 and the Eph-100 is about $150. Ill be pairing with Fiio E10. What should i get?
Are they equally comfortable to wear? I would like something small that can be slept on (so doesn't stick too far out from the ear). Most of my listening will be during long walks back and forth to work. My current IEMs (old E2C's) transmit a lot of noise through my head when walking on sidewalks or pavement. Also, I can forget trying to eat or chew gum while wearing them. And what are the records of these two models concerning durability of the cords, connections, and jacks?
Not sure how I missed this thread last week. But, I too, have been contemplating these two IEMs (among a few others). What I would be interested in hearing about from those who have directly compared these phones are comments about their ergonomics, bone conductance, and durability.

EPH-100 looks durable, but its very mild driver flex was not exactly confidence inspiring. GR07 is generally very durable and has a better cable, with the only concern probably strain relief gluing coming off, but you can glue it back.
