Interested in others' opinions on the HPH as well; I didnt think they sounded as good as the EPH when I had them, though they were an enjoyable can to listen to.

Just updating everyone.

I've decided to hold off... I'm changing my order on HPH-200, not because of the post above me, but I found a store very close to me which has them instock. It's much safer, cheaper and literally makes more sense for me to walk in with my source and test them in store rather than buy to try. So, I'll still test them out over the next few days, however my full purchase is in the process of being canceled. 

Cheers!

Haha. Not really, there is a story behind it though. The problem is.. I make purchases then listen to my EPH-100 (this has happened a few times) when ever I hear them I simply think my journey has ended, that I really don't need another pair of headphones expanding on all the others gaining no air time. This happened with GRO7 after I ordered I ended up canceling. It simply doesn't make sense to me sometimes, that I own TF10 and they're hardly used because of these Yamaha's. I'm just really worried about let down purchases since owning EPH. It's really hard to top them within my $$$ budget atm.

I will demo the HPH-200, it is my destiny!

Well, let me know, I'm very curious. I can buy them here in Portugal if they're better than the EPH-100.

Hello,
 
After hours of reading these forums, I think the Yamaha EPH-100 could be a great fit for my needs. However, I'd like to know what are your opinions on the cable build quality ?
 
Many IEM I owned in the past died one way or another (loss of sound on one year, naked cable near the jack plug, ...).
 
If the build quality is great, then I think those earphones will be mine

Build quality is good.
The only thing I can't stand is the memory and the microphonics.
 
If you're really afraid about cables, I suggest buying something that has removable cables, like TF10 and SE215

cable 2m? uncomfortable?

The cable attached to EPH-100 is 1.2m. There is an extension cable that is 2m included in the package.

I've spent about 2 weeks with these as my only IEM/headphones and I'm very happy with my decision to sell everything else. 
 
These little things are just amazing.

You mean, even your full sized headphone ?

 

[davidgotsa]

Yea, I sold everything.

Well, I 'll see soon if they are that good, must wait a week ...

 

[davidgotsa]

They are in no way better than the headphones that I owned, don't get me wrong. (Actually, I prefer them over the Grados and Sennheiser HD408 but not the other ones)
 
I just felt that they were good enough (for very little money) for me to enjoy until I truly have cash to spend on headphones since I have some other things going on at the moment. If I had more money I wouldn't have sold my HD800's, they are simply magical.

yeah the hd800 are good, but still insane price. It's not as if you couldn't enjoy music with cheaper alternatives.
I think I would have been happy with the ksc75, if I've never heard better.
