Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Sivga Lyrebird is 7 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price. For 7 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
Sivga Lyrebird
The Sivga Lyrebird is a wired quad-driver hybrid IEM that delivers a lively, well-separated sound with punchy bass and smooth treble, appealing to both music lovers and gamers. Its lightweight, comfortable build and premium construction add to its value, though the 4.4mm balanced-only connection may require an adapter for many users. Overall, it offers strong technical performance for the price, with minor caveats in sub-bass depth and tuning for certain genres.

Yamaha EPH-M100
The Yamaha EPH-M100 are lightweight, wired in-ear monitors built around a single large-caliber dynamic driver for a warm, detailed sound. They include a single-button remote and microphone for calls or media control, and their 28-ohm impedance makes them easy to drive with most smartphones or laptops. With no active noise cancellation, they rely on passive isolation from their fit, making them a straightforward, budget-friendly choice for everyday listening.
- Pro:Balanced, natural sound signature typical of Yamaha tuning
- Pro:Very lightweight design (19g) for comfortable long sessions
- Pro:Easy to power from phones or laptops due to 28-ohm impedance
- Con:No active noise cancellation or wireless connectivity
- Con:Single-button remote may lack volume controls or track skipping
- Con:Passive isolation depends heavily on eartip fit
