Simgot - EG280

in that price bracket for competitive gaming simgot eg280

if you have eg280 money then go eg280 ka11 is abit much on the klean, jm6 pro or fiio ja1 is all you'd need to run them well. i'd go this route if you want to save some but still have a very competent setup

What a fan boy 😂 eg280 is much better and cheaper than delci ae

Simgot EG280 just dropped, it’s like EW300 but less bright/fatiguing in the treble area. I listen to alot of electronic and rock too, so I can safely say it does those wonderfully. Really amazing detail retrieval, and instrument separation for the price. Comes with a dongle but tbh it does better with a little more power from a dedicated dac, like Fiio K13 (there’s a bunch of different options, just look up reviews on Head-fi if you see other options you like). I personally like using third party eartips like Tangzu Sancai or Spinfit, but see how the stock ones are for you before investing in something like that. Good luck!

80$ eg280 is about as high musicality and technical abilities as you can get per $ It scorers 6.5/5.5 at 80$ on sale, when astral scores 8/7 at 300$ Ratio is off the chart for eg280 Or can get em6L - it is solid 6.5 / 6 at 100$ on sale if not lower but ratio is lower (Simgot EA500 LM is controversial but looks like same score 6.5/6 at 90$before sales!)

I got Simgot EG280's as my first and only pair (unless they break) of IEMs, and am very happy with them for both gaming and music. My 2nd choice would've been EW300.

Why these two? Cadenza is a$30 IEM (Get the KB01 for $20, it's exactly the same) And the other is an $80 dollar tribrid IEM. They aren't in the same class. So I am confused as to why these two?? The Cadenza is mildly better than the Chu2, but not enough to not call it a side grade. And the KB01 exists for Chu2 money if you really want to hear it. The EW300 is sub mid. Lots of ear gain issues, and generally not that amazing. It's way over hyped, IMHO. If you want that tuning, get the TRN Shell, or the new Simgot EG280. I like it more than the EW300, ans it comes with a DAC that has EQ tunability via their app. There is a lot a lot of good stuff at $50, and even better sub-$100. So it's weird to see two totally different priced IEMs as your choices.

simgot eg280 for gaming

I just got the moon drop Aria 2 REDs and I like them but realized I want to hear everything happening. The crazy bass and thin highs aren’t my desired sound. I do like my Kiwi Ears Cadenzas and EG280s but I specifically want neutral sounding or reference tuned. Budget is $300 and I’m planning on buying sometime early next year.

Tbh. My kiwi ear Cadenzas. I still use them often even though I got a bunch of other similarly priced iems. Decided to give my brother the vivances, sister got the Chu 2s, and mother got the celest wyvern pros. Currently daily drive my eg280s and Cadenzas.

Most of the time the cable has the mic, and usually they’re not the best quality. I would say get something that’s comfortable and sounds good, then buy a different cable with a mic. I recently got the simgot eg280 and the cable mic sounds decent according to my friends.

If you're plugging them directly into a PC then you should stick to 1DDs. Avoid multi-driver IEMs because they will sound messed up if your PC sound card has high output impedance (which it most likely does). The only exception to that I know of is the Simgot EG280 which is a hybrid, but it's designed to have completely linear impedance specifically for PC gaming. You also want to avoid anything highly sensitive like the Simgot EA500 / EA500LM which would otherwise probably be the top pick in that price range. So I'd suggest looking at the Moondrop Aria 2, the Dunu Kima 2 or the Dunu Titan S. The ST16 Plus is a decent cable, but no harm in contacting Xinhs about a custom one if you see one you like the look of. It won't affect the sound either way.

The Zero 2 is a 1DD yes (1 dynamic driver). What you need is linear impedance. Almost all 1DD IEMs have linear impedance. It's very rare for multi-driver IEMs, the only one I know of is the Simgot EG280. Having linear impedance means it won't change how it sounds if you plug it into any old random crappy sound card. They're also usually easier to drive than planars so it's unlikely the headphone output won't have enough power for any of these. If you were to get an IEM like the Simgot Supermix4 for example, that's very sensitive to output impedance, so depending on what you plug it into it might sound correct, a bit too warm, or completely muddy.

Just got the eg280 a few days ago, personally love it def an upgrade from my previous pair (tangzu wan er ) that broke so I needed a replacement as I used it for gaming. I use the dac it came with, honestly its a Lil low with the power than I thought but it does make the sound smoother especially for my fps games when there's a lot going on, I also eq tuned it so for me (I like a lot more bass than normal) it does the job ! Very happy with the purchase as it was cost efficient! Maybe in the future ill get a new adapter but for now its honestly good!
