Simgot - EG280

Yeah me too, I have some very expensive sets, like the IE600, and I prefer the EW300 over the IE600... I still prefer my Ziigaat Odyssey, or my Mangird Xenns Top, but damn the Simgot is indeed very very good for the asked price

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!)

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.

Simgot sounds like shit.

Simogot is super bright or horrible with vocals. Fuck Simgot lol. This includes the Supermix4 too. Bright as shit. lol

**Hello Community!** This is going to be a review that will move away from what I have accustomed you to, somewhat fattened also, since the situation has demanded it of me. Analyzing today’s unit has not been easy, it has not been a matter of a handful of hours. I will try to be as clear and concise as I can. I present to you the Simgot EG280 and its proposal for video games, but, of course, without forgetting the musical field. Price approximately **70USD.** For those who do not want to read more, here **I leave you the pros and cons:** **Pros:** \-Comfort for long sessions ideal. \-Wide soundstage on all 3 axes. \-Faithful positioning. \-Very clean mids. \-Detailed highs. **Cons:** \-DAC without sufficient amplification. \-Poorly developed APP implementation. \-The microphone does not stand out for its clarity for conversations. \-Bass too relaxed. **Introduction:** Simgot is a brand that I love. I am not going to deny it. The EW300 model is one of the best and most technical I have analyzed for video games under $100 (and it competes against IEMs of higher budget, believe me) and in music it performs wonderfully. I have another monitor from the brand which you will read the review of shortly, but, let’s focus on the EG280: I am quite upset with this gaming version. There are things that do not quite fit me, but they are easily solved. How? Removing the DSP cable from the equation. Okay, it is not entirely true, do not run. Will the Simgot EG280 be up to par? Read the review or at least the final conclusions. Let’s see other aspects first. **Contents:** \-Typical Simgot content box, well compartmentalized, minimalist, aesthetically cared for. \-User manual. \-2 sets of ear tips sizes SML, with open and narrow holes and different hardness. \-USB-C cable with DSP functionality. \-Semi-rigid carrying and storage case. \-Sound cable ending in 3.5mm with extended length above standard (1.7m) and 0.78mm pins in the preformed earpieces. \-Two capsules made of translucent resin and with a chrome plastic front plate with mirror effect. It has holes to release air pressure from inside. **Comfort** Look, I will talk about the cable. When I opened the box the first thought I had was not wanting to believe that Simgot had included a cable that looked of much lower budget. Over time, I was wrong and my opinion changed. Despite being thin and ugly, it will not give you problems. It has an anti-slip capacity that I have not yet found in others. It is difficult to suffer tugs or that it tangles. As soon as you have them on your ears, you do not feel uncomfortable pressure, the included ear tips fit perfectly. The ergonomics were really satisfactory, its capsules are medium-sized leaning towards small, which allows your auricle to embrace them softly. I take this space to claim that Simgot improve their ear tips. In these price ranges in the competition we start to find a variety of options and materials. A leap must be made. Settling for being valid is insufficient. **Technical aspects:** \-Hybrid configuration of a 10mm dynamic driver (1DD) and a 6mm planar-magnetic driver (1PLN) \-Impedance 32 ohms. \-Sensitivity 119 dB. \-Frequency range 20Hz-20kHz **Pairing:** We begin to enter a conflictive zone. Someone who looks at the above data will think that it is enough to connect it to the mobile phone and enjoy. Even with the included DSP DAC. Big mistake. It does not sound as good and loud as it should. Grab your Dongle DAC or your DAC/AMP and push it hard. The change is drastic. It does not matter if the source is neutral, it enhances brightness in the high zone or colors the bass. Amplify the Simgot EG280. Personally, I preferred amplification with the most neutral possible sources. **DSP DAC Cable:** I have not been satisfied with it. The problem is the absence of sufficient amplification to hear any element with presence and detail. For music and single-player video games, better to use another source. It is true that through the PEQ of the available app/web we can increase the gain or modify the response in 6 different parametric points. Even so, the result in sub-bass and bass was not to my liking as it comes without modifying anything. For competitive video games, things change for the better, but you have to be willing to spend a good while testing and testing until finding a truly satisfactory and useful equalization to be able to affirm that you are playing with an advantage your competitors do not have. **APP/Web:** APP available on Android. Windows, MacOS and iOS web browser. Not all web browsers are supported, such as Firefox. From Simgot they told me that they were going to implement the APP for iOS. Well, it needs urgent improvements, on all platforms. On Android the changes in the frequency response, whether a custom curve or predefined, are not saved. Via web (the web is called walkplay) we start with compatibility problems with browsers. With Microsoft Edge it works, with Firefox it does not. I did not try more browsers. Not even Safari on MacOS or iOS. The second problem is that if you have the walkplay website in English, you cannot register. You must change it to Chinese for the code sending to work and complete the registration process. Regarding parametric configurations, you have many user and Simgot presets available. None convinced me, neither for music, nor for single-player video games, nor for competitive. For the first two options, I did not need equalization, the IEM sounds good as it is. For competitive video games, I created my own frequency curve as you [can see in the photo.](https://i.ibb.co/5xfXggHc/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-22-175605.png) **Sound signature:** Everything you read from here has been experienced with my own sources as neutral as possible and without using the included USB-C DSP cable. The EG280 has a smooth U-shaped signature, with present but not invasive bass, clean mids, and a controlled touch of brightness in the high zone. It is not a dark or warm IEM, nor a sharp or analytical IEM, but it comes very close to bright. *Sub-bass* It has presence and controlled depth. It does not invade other frequencies and it is not a basshead-oriented model, but it gives the necessary punch when a track requires it. *Bass* Fast, certainly defined, and with sufficient power. There are no resonances, no excessive rumble, and it does not bleed into the mids. *Low mids* They provide body and solidity. They give warmth without muddying the mix. A very well-balanced base between weight and clarity. The instrumentation is perfectly perceived. *Mids* The mids are clean and well-defined, without getting ahead too much or staying behind. It is a range where the EG280 feels stable and very well managed given its combination of dynamic and planar magnetic driver. *Upper mids* They have been worked on to provide clarity without being fatiguing. Here you notice the planar’s intention: there is presence, articulation, and a touch of air, but without reaching the aggressiveness of other models with this type of driver. *Highs* The highs are detailed, airy, and with good extension. The sparkle is there, but they are not piercing nor overly crystalline. Some brightness may appear in very intense heavy metal recordings, but in general they are safe highs, with good texture and without annoying sibilance. *Vocal performance* Female and male voices sound natural, defined, and without harshness. There is a good balance between brightness and body, with enough presence to stand out even when the music becomes intense. Very solid in this aspect, but in very low male voices I needed more depth and articulation. *Soundstage* The scene is wider than expected: excellent width, some height, and considerable depth. It does not create an extremely large space, but it does generate a very immersive and natural feeling. *Imaging* Imaging is one of its strong points. The ability to place elements in the scene is excellent: instruments, voices, and effects appear with clear location and well-marked separation. *Layer separation* The EG280 handles layers very well even in dense mixes. Nothing crashes or mixes into a confusing block. There is air between instruments and each harmonic finds its own space and occupies it. *Detail retrieval* The planar magnetic helps a lot in this aspect, providing revealing speed in microdetails. It does not reach the resolution of larger drivers, but I can affirm that it is precise and satisfactory overall. **Single-player video games.** Looking for the most cinematic experience possible. Check the conditions under which I analyze headphones[ on my blog.](https://hifijuegos.blogspot.com/p/como-analizo-el-audio.html) We continue without the DSP DAC. *Immersion* The driver configuration makes the experience very pleasant and satisfying: bass that is noticeable just enough, details that envelop you and give realism to the atmosphere. Everything feels cohesive and natural. *Soundstage* The scene is wide and enough to perceive open environments, but personally I need a bit more depth to fit voices and effects correctly within it. *Positioning* The location of sounds is precise. You can easily distinguish distant effects, steps behind you, horizontal movements, and changes in direction of environmental sounds. *Action* It has not been the aspect I liked most about this model. However, the sub-bass is deep though it falters in punch, reverb in closed spaces is natural, and the bass, despite speed, impact, and definition, lacks capacity to amaze too much. *Dialogues* Very clear and detailed. The upper mids help voices stay crisp even with explosions or background music. They are never buried, and I cannot reproach them. *Sibilance* I notice some annoying sibilance in the extreme test of Final Fantasy XVI due to a peak in the high zone before reaching the frequency response limit. *Sound layers* In scenarios with multiple elements (environment, music, dialogue, effects), the IEM manages to separate everything without anything overlapping. A complex mix remains readable to our ear and pleasant. **Competitive video games:** For the occasion, and do not get used to it, I had to install on my PC several competitive online games: Counter Strike 2, CoD: Warzone, and Valorant. Now yes, I am going to connect the included DSP dongle. I used a custom sound signature by me. [Link to the photo here.](https://i.ibb.co/5xfXggHc/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-22-175605.png) The reasons for creating one and not using a predefined were the following: \-I increased the general gain to be able to raise the listening volume. With the DSP cable, not everything sounds as loud as I need. \-The predefined curves do not give the necessary importance to the low zone of the graph where explosions and shots reside, making it difficult to locate them, for this reason I had to increase their presence enough so as not to miss those sounds. \-I raised and stabilized the zone from upper mids to highs to better emphasize steps, enemy movements, useful environmental sounds to position the rival, and shell casings falling to the ground. *Positioning* It is excellent. Steps are heard clearly, shots are easily located, and distances are perceived without difficulty. In these games where every sound matters, Simgot shows its potential. *Soundstage* The soundstage is wide enough not to sound trapped in your head, but concentrated enough so that critical sounds are not lost in a too diffuse scene. This helps a lot in FPS where you need to identify verticality and directionality on the horizontal plane. *Sound layers* Even in situations, the EG280 maintains clear separation between each layer. You can identify enemy movements amid combat noise with transparency, clarity, and without focusing your effort on it. **Final conclusion:** Gentlemen of Simgot; it is an IEM that sounds very good, I really like how it sounds (obligation to amplify) without using the DSP cable and, despite not fitting entirely into my personal tastes, it has detail and resolution, with some impact in the low zone, excellent dynamics, the voices are very natural, it feels energetic… but the USB-C cable does not do it much favor. It comes in handy to modify the frequency response at your whim, within established limits, or to look for a certain advantage specifically over your rivals, but you have to have some knowledge of equalization and be willing to spend a few hours fine-tuning to achieve a convincing result. Nevertheless, for the musical context, I really liked it in pop and classical music. In single-player video games, if they are not action titles where rumble predominates, you will find an ideal companion in these EG280 and, for competitive, they perform frankly well as they come, but they have the added possibility of seeking more advantage with the APP/web configuration, which should urgently improve and reach more platforms and browsers. ***Not recommended for:*** people without amplified sources and lovers of super impactful bass and sub-bass. ***Recommended for:*** people who know how to use PEQ, like vocal or classical music, enjoy relaxed narrative games, or seek an advantage in competitive games.
