Yamaha EPH-M100

 

The very secure-fitting Yamaha EPH-M100 earphones offer deep bass response, but could use more definition in the high-mids.

Powerful audio performance with deep bass response. Inline remote control and microphone. Very secure fit with five sets of eartips.

Lacking in high-mid presence. Can sound less crisp and defined than it should.

Clearly, the EPH-M100 is a bass-forward earphone pair that isn't going to appeal to purists or those seeking a very crisp sound signature. If you're looking for something with more high-mid definition in this price range, both the Klipsch R6i and...

Microscopic size earphones craving for microscopic details. Impressive but overrated.

 

I just sell my Yamaha EPH-100, so before I forget how they sound I will write a little review here. My attempt for this micro driver earphones was BIG, especially because of the praise I found here on Headfi. So yes, let's be honnest: I wasn't that...

Excellent sound quality, very good mids, super articulate bass presentation, good instruments separation

Little too bright, sound can be too foward with some type of music, cable look fragile

Superb!

 

Bought these two months ago, and they are my favorite IEM to date. One thing to note is that I did indeed get the condensation problem. It has only happened a handful of times, and has completely cured up, but it is something to be aware of. I had to...

Sound is clear and crisp, great sub-bass response

Cable is not the best

Great pair of earphones

 

I really like this earphone because it gives you wonderful sound quality at a reasonable cost. When I started listening to all the songs on my laptop with this earphone and also all of the smooth jazz, it was as if the whole world was cut off because...

Great noise cancellation, wonderful bass

earbuds are not comfortable

Excellent SQ for the money

 

Read a ton of reviews before purchasing. However, I will be honest and say that I was a bit let down by the bass. Don't get me wrong, its very detailed and balanced and perhaps there lies my issue, I was under the impression that these were more bassy....

Imaging, detail, responsive and dynamic or engaging sound.

Fit can be an issue. Perhaps for perfection a bit more sub bass and sparkle up top and a wider SS but that is perfection.

Balanced Beauties

 

Nothing is perfect & these earbuds are certainly a compromise. None the less, they are not too bright, not too boomy, not too recessed, & not too expensive. The sound is overall rich & smooth; therefore far less fatiguing yet still enjoyable....

Best bang for the buck ever

 

This is my second pair of EPH-100s. I purchased my first pair in the beginning of 2012 some while after they became a FOTM here on Head-fi. Strangely enough I would have thought that they would have increased in price with the popularity these have,...

Excellent sound quality, bass, separation

Uncomfortable eartips, durability

Top Quality-Great Price

 

The Yamaha EPH-100 surprised me with their excellent fidelity. I already owned a $300 set of Sure SE425s which are also wonderful but fall in the $300 price range and should be. I was so impressed with the performance of the EPH-100s that they are my...

Excellent fidelity, great musical detail, classy design

Slight ear fatigue

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Yamaha EPH-100 are the best earphones for EDM!! Especially Trance.

 

Best ear-phones around $150 for EDM. Can't go wrong with these. :D --- EDIT (15/01/2015) (bought from Audio Affair UK for £60): So, I got a second pair after selling my 1st a long time ago and plugged them into my X3 tonight again for a listen. All I...

Amazing clarity, precision, separation and 3D'ness

Low bass is a little lacking, perhaps not as rumbly. Sub-bass is great!
