These are on sale right now on Amazon for 94.99. Great price for these quality IEM's.

Have own it for month already thx XD 

Hi everyone this is Kevin and it is my first post. I've been doing some research over the past few days for in ear headphones to listen to music on daily commute to and from school. I listen to mostly 90s pop and pop right now, as well as some rap. So, I really was interested in the Yamaha eph 100. But then, I read about some defects of people's posts I'm 2012 about the right earphone losing sound. I was just wondering if people are still getting this problem in 2014 or did Yamaha fix it. This information would be much appreciated as I may be looking to purchase in a week or so.

Thanks, Kevin

Mine apparently does't have the right side cut off problem. I walk from train station to my home while I'm using this Yamaha. Mind you, my country weather is hot (37+c), high humidity. The walk last 20 min though. So far still going strong. =)

thanks for the reply whaleshark! how are you liking it so far? I can probably get it for $120 inc shipping so would you recommend it for this price?
 
The right side sound loss is almost the only thing holding me back in buying the earphones.
 
Cheers,

Get it,you cant go wrong =D But it do have something that i hate it a lot on this IEM which was the cable and the micro phonic when worn straight down(pretty much gone after you wear it over ear or cable on the back.)..It get curly rather easily as i always curl it up and keep inside the case they provided. Still bearable haha..

hello, i have owned the eph 100's for over a year and they get quite a bit of playtime and i have never had any issue with any right side sound loss or any other issue for that matter. build quality is actually quite good for a hundred dollar iem.

Yeah the memory effect makes me mad sometimes. Still, they're otherwise a brilliant IEM.

Can anyone comment on the quantity of bass? Is it powerful enough that it brings a smile in songs like "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo? How does it stack up to GR07 BE's? Thanks!

The bass isn't quite as strong and impactful as on the gr07be but still has that dynamic punch to it.

It's not as strong as the GR07 BE's? Then they probably aren't for me as I find the BE's (a friend has them) lacking in bass honestly. Thanks.

^+1 Btw how did you deal with the memory effect?

Alright then =D Thx man. I thought of this when im using my laptop and phone,the sound sounds very much different . From the laptop, vocal is very loud and bright,but the bass is distorted. While on my phone (Seems its using qualcomm DAC),bass was nice but the vocal were pretty dull. So im just wondering does the sound card (DAC) does play a role in this situation.

Definetely, but depending on your budget there are countless solutions. The best is the Beyerdynamic a200d, this is an extreme small amp which you can use on any device, no matter if laptop, Android or Ios. Your EPH-100 will rock and sounds right in every register.

I use them with bass intensive prog-avant rock like Chrome Hoof, Primus,Present, early Yes and believe me the bass is there when you need it.

Has anyone compared these to the yamaha EPH-c500?

I usually pull the cable cinch up fairly tight so its not too coiled, and then I tuck most of the unused cable from the jack to the y split into my jacket pocket.
