Simgot - ET142

simgot et142 is certainly up there, known to be a beast for resolution + techs a brighter signature (like et142) tends to have the effect of pushing up the perceived detail and resolution. whether or not you can handle or prefer that brightness though is a different story but it does have a more engaging sound while still being able to keep vocals present for resolution though you won't be disappointed with any of the planers you listed, those are all excellent choices. t10's are pretty much clones of s12 in a plastic shell so if you want something like what you had then those are there

Kiwi Ears Canta (around 100usd) Punch Audio Martilo (300ish usd) AFUL P5+2...have a mini planar in there...(a little over 200usd) Simgot ET142 .... planar with pzt driver (around 200) I have all those...and I love em. That's my regular rotation

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

The ET142 are my current favorite planar IEMs. They are just so good at so many things and the 3-in-1 tuning is extremely versatile. I think the lack of popularity is due to the kinda botched release. For those who don’t know, Simgot sent out early pre-production samples to reviewers (myself included) to get their opinion on the tuning before release. I, and several others told Simgot that the 2 nozzles were too similar, and that if they wanted to repeat the success they had with the EW300, they should modify one of the nozzles to be a warmer, darker tuning, and keep the brighter tuning. Making it a 2-in-1. Simgot said they were making changes, and then radio silence. I wasn’t given the green light to post my review, and I didn’t know pricing, so I didn’t post my review. Other reviewers, did post reviews, and they were… mixed. Most took issue with the nozzles being too similar and criticized the tuning for being too bright. Essentially, it was an “also ran” in the planar IEM market. Fast forward a month or so. Simgot sends out new nozzles, gives everybody the green light to release their reviews, and launches the set. Now. Most people would Google “Simgot ET142 Review” and find the older reviews from before the tuning changes were made. However, the new nozzles add a lot to the value proposition of the ET142, and the new tunings are different from the stock tuning with the burnished nozzles. Making it now a 3-in-1. New reviews come out. Praise floods in. But it’s hard to undo the traction that those early reviews had. I for one, love all the nozzles on the ET-142. It’s a fantastic set. I call it the “ET142 Chameleon” because of it’s versatility. I highly recommend it to anybody looking to get a planar IEM in the $200 range. And I agree with you. I’d take this over Estrella easily.

It's a game changing planar. It's a real shame that so many reviews of the non-final version went up. I think it took a lot of wind out of the sails. Technically it might not be a massive step up from the other $100-$200 planars. But the *Versatility* that it offers is something no other planar can really offer. It competes with the kilobuck planars at a fraction of the price, and the only real downsides as you mentioned are the weight of the IEMs and the cable, and the fact that most people don't wanna swap nozzles. Happy you're loving it. I love mine.

I have spent a very long time with this set and have really been able to deep dive into its stellar build, design, packaging, and highly capable tuning. The ET142 is actually Simgot's second foray into planar technology, but their first in-ear monitor using the tech. However, the ET142 is actually a hybrid iem which pairs the planar with a piezoelectric driver to cover the highs. We've seen this pairing in the past. Namely, the Raptgo Hook-X as well as HBB's version of the Hook-X. Folks, I find the ET142 to be a true competitor, a legit technical beast, detail monster and altogether a very talented set. One thing I truly enjoy is that Simgot provided so many ways to dial in the sound to perfectly fit your personal preferences. With the use of tuning nozzle and tuning foam I am able to perfect my version of this set. The nice thing is that the ET142 has such an awesome foundation to work with. At any rate, I cover every aspect of this set and so if it seems you'd enjoy learning more then please feel free to check out my thoughts. With that said, just take care and have a wonderful day!

That's a tough question to answer, although I get why you are asking it. It'd be something I'd ask too. It really all comes down to you and what you desire for your collection. Simgot has so many flat-out awesome iems like the EA500, EA500LM, EW300, Supermix4, among others. I think they are worth buying if you'd like to test out other driver types and materials. Each one listed is a very solid iem. Of course, the sound signature has to suit you too. In fact, that's the most important thing. Find what you enjoy. Having said all of that, the ET142 is flat out great and you can tune it to your preferences. For the most part. Really a special set. For me, in a couple of the nozzles is a hair too bright for me but once I start playing around with Simgot's included nozzles and foam inserts it became plainly obvious that this is a special iem. I realize I didn't really give you a good answer but again, hard question to answer for someone else. Whatever you decide you'll at least come away with a great set.

Simgot ET142*($160)* and FiiO KA15*($85)*

I'm in love with my Simgot ET142, very clear vocals and instruments. But its weakness is the bass, its still enjoyable but in some songs with heavy bass drops, it can feel lacking/low volume. The bass is high quality, but you just gotta ramp up the volume a bit to hear the rumble. I've been using it for a week, does not get fatiguing on a 3hour road trip.

Simgot sounds like shit.

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

I recently tried the S12 Pro, S12 Anniversary, Timeless II, Timeless AE, Simgot ET142, Artti T10, Hidisz MP145, and Zetian Wu Legend. It's tough to pick a personal favorite since they all have their pros and cons, but if I had to choose, my top picks would probably be: * Timeless II or Timeless AE (whichever is cheaper). I like the Timeless II, but it can be prone to sibilance. The Timeless AE isn't as sibilant, but its upper treble is definitely a bit too much for me. * Simgot ET142. These are actually really good. The bass reminds me of the Timeless II/AE and the treble isn't as harsh as, say the S12 Pro. My only issue is the apparent peak in the upper-mids. * S12 Pro. Mostly because they're one of the cheapest options and the fit is easy as hell. They don't lack in technicalities compared to the rest either but yeah, the treble can be a bit too much for me. * Lastly, the MP145. The fit can be tricky, but when I get a good seal, they're good. Plus in my country they can be cheaper than the S12 Pro. As for the Artti T10, I had a hard time getting a good fit so I'll probably pass on that one. Still haven't tried the Zetian Wu Heyday or the Kiwi Ears Aether tho.

Sorry for the late reply bro, things were kinda hectic irl. >how is ET142 compared to others? Compared to other Simgots? Or other planars? I think they’re pretty comparable to something like the Timeless II and they’re super easy to fit in my ears. I was actually surprised I could enjoy the ET142 even though they have a lot of energy in the treble. They’re a lil bit harsher than the other Simgots (kinda comparable to the EA1000 in terms of harshness) but you can sort of tune it because of the nozzle options (they give you 4 nozzles). For the price they’re pretty detailed. Compared to the SM4, I feel like I get “better” bass in ET142 since they are kinda a planar set. I get faster transients and all that so the ET142s are nicer for metal song. The downside is ET142s have more energy in the upper mid and treble compared to SM4. Vocals can sound more shouty in ET142 and ET142s are more prone to sibilant due to that extra energy in the treble.

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.
