Simgot - EG280

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!

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.

Similarly, I just picked up a set of the new Simgot EG280 and they are incredible for the $65 I paid. They're technically marketed as "gaming" IEMs, and they have an incredible soundstage for that, but do very well paired with my Hiby R4. They still might be on their initial coupon sale on Amazon as well through Linsoul storefront, I think they're $80 normally

EW300, SuperMix4, or the newer EG280. also great much more cheaper IEMs for gaming. All under Simgot brand.

Thanks but unfortunately, they are not on the list as I was aiming specifically for metal housing and planar IEM. To be exact, it's Simgot EG280 and Simgot EW300 (it was on the list and my radar but I eliminated it due to warm signature) EG280 is not fully metallic so that was a minus point for me.

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

It’s weird isn’t it. I got the EW300s a few weeks ago and I immediately wanted to upgrade and read through a ton of posts here.  I think it’s because years and years ago I had the original wired apple earbuds, then I got M-Audio IE10s and was blown away by the clarity. Then I got shure se215s, then I got into KZ buds like a decade ago, then shure 425s and finally AirPods Pro. I’ve had those for like 6 years or whatever and when I got the simgots recently I remembered just how much detail music could have. And the fact that they are less than a third of what my shures cost made me think well if $80 gets me this good of sound, what does $300 get me??  I love the imaging and separation of the EW300s and I really want even more

Any simgot. Not the Best but details and trebel the Best for money.

The signature KZ sound does NOT work for the kind of music I like listening to. Just sounds like someone keeps shattering glass inside of my ear canal... Just from a quick scroll I can already tell the comments are filled with folks who have similar issues with Simgot as well which I think is fair. While I consider them better technical performers, a lot of the tuning has some similarly sharp and spicy aspects to it that plenty of people might really enjoy but that some others will just find unbearable. It's the number one thing I was never quite able to get used to in any IEM...

Not the Simgots they’re terrible for gaming thin and harsh imo.

Depends if you’re sensitive to treble and don’t mind a metallic tinny tinge to the sound. They aren’t bad IEMS but as mentioned they’re quite thin sounding which for me doesn’t work well with gaming because although they’re quite clear sounding (which is good obvs) they also don’t have that all encompassing cinematic vibe that works so well with games, movies and things of that nature far too lean and fatiguing which during a long gaming session quickly becomes grating in my experience.
