Eg280 for sure , i've tried all of them
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
ew300 is pretty decent but the simgot eg280 are definitely what you want if gaming is your main use case that or the kefine delci ae are really the best you can do for fps gaming under 100$
best under 100 are kefine delci ae or simgot eg280 em6l are good and around the price point but have the qc issue of the nozzle just straight up falling off for a considerable number users and you have to reglue it back on yourself
eg280 for a nice v-shape allround for music and gaming ea500lm are a good bright fun set but not so good for gaming and with unsafe levels of treble on a blind buy
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.
Definitely consider the eg280 over the ew300
