I went with the EW200 DSP after some looking deliver tomorrow as well and can easily return the if I don’t like them I just know any $50 IeM is gonna sound better and louder then a $300 headset
Hahahahhahaha, hahaha, bahahahahaha! 1. The EW200’s are fine. I could be wrong, but I don’t think you will be sending them back. 2. You’d think that $300 from industry veterans would trounce $50 from a relative newbie. That’s how the world **should** work… but… well, the Nova Pro and EW200 are tuned pretty differently, but let’s just say, “You’re in for a pleasant surprise!”
Increase your budget slightly and go with Kiwi ears Cadenza or simgot ew200
Finally a realistic review. I think for how much we paid, these are really excellent, but even at $25-30 you can get IEMs that are straight upgrades to these. IMO EW200 and Klean blow these out of the water (but they are also much more expensive).
Simgot ew200 too much treble
Probably the Simgot EW300, I used to love my 200s before they died on me :/
Well, the Chu are small, so maybe they'll fit you well. GK Kunten could be a good option too. They got plenty of good opinions here. Maybe Simgot EW200/EW300 would be ok, but they're more than $30 As far as the DAC goes, what kind of a DAC do you think about? If it's a dongle, I use a FiiO JA11 with my phone and it's great. I only wish it had a 4.4mm jack too. On my PC I use Audioquest Dragonfly Black. It's a dongle too, but it has much much more power, so it can drive even demanding headphones. But I'm afraid you can't buy it anymore, though (at least new one).
1. [SIMGOT EW200]() – Best for energetic, bright sound Signature: brighter, more detailed treble and snappy dynamics — great for electronic/rock music. Stronger crispness and air than Klean or Cadenza. Good if you want clarity and sparkle. 2. [KEFINE Klean]() – All-round balanced pick A slightly warmer, musical sound with good bass and natural mids. Smoother and less fatiguing for long sessions. Provides solid overall performance and comfort — a safe choice for most genres. 3. [Kiwi Ears Cadenza]() – Fun and enjoyable sound Tends to have a slightly warmer midrange and fun bass compared to the others. Slightly better mids and soundstage in some reviews vs Klean.
