    Nice. Looks a lot like that other little guy, the M0?

    I prefer the ES100 soundwise to the M0. Plastic Fantastic!

    Seems like a much more limited use case than the M0, since it can’t play music off internal storage. Also 2.5mm balanced can suck my dick.

    I'm loving mine. Streaming anything I want from my phone with more than acceptable SQ. Hiss is low as well for sensitive IEMs. Not much to dislike really.

    The M0 is perhaps smaller, but not by much. @Merrick for me, the ZX300 is a better overall device, but the ES100 still fills a useful niche, which is: on the go, want decent sound, but the environment is noisy or chaotic. For me, that's a TON of situations, and it makes the ES100 quite useful.

    If I get bored in the next few weeks (unlikely, ha) I'll try to compare the ES100 vs. SONY MUC-M2BT1 vs. ZX300.

    This thing is TINY, so I get why they used a 2.5mm balanced adapter, but I sighed deeply when I ordered a 2.5mm to 4.4mm adapter for it.
