"They are not good when you factor in distorted guitars. ...

Time for 2 x paracodol tablets for my aching head."


"This one comes with a health warning though, because it is *very* bright and potentially quite fatiguing. ... Definitely one to avoid if you're at all treble-sensitive. ... This is an incredible IEM in short bursts, but I can't listen to mine for more than an hour or so at a time."


"They are bright. Very bright. So if you're at all treble sensitive, avoid. ... OTOH, if you're not treble sensitive or don't mind the risk of treble-fatigue, they're absolutely one of the best IEMs under $200. ... It's still bright-leaning but it's not outright bright like the EA500 and I don't find it fatiguing at all."

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

"I didn't really like the LM compared to the original. ... The extra sub-bass ruined the soundstage and masked a lot of the ultra-detailed sound the OG has. ... nothing I did could make it have the same magic as the OG, so I ended up returning it."


"adds a lot more bass and ruins the soundstage effect with the stock tuning"


"These probably had the most bass out of all the budget IEMs I got. It was boomy—the opposite of the sharp bass of the Delci AE and S08. ... With the Delci AE and S08 I could hear when the bass started and stopped, but here it just boomed and sort of rolled off instead of “stopping.”"

"But the background instruments weren’t as clear or well separated, and the soundstage seemed small and recessed compared to the vocals. ... This made vocals stand out but instruments felt like they all came from the same area, which wasn’t great for classical music."


"I also find that the ea500lm doesn't really put an emphasis on anything, which is nice in its own way, but I'd prefer to let higher frequency things (flutes, vocals, etc) have more emphasis, ad leave bass to things like bass gitar, kick drum, bigger brass and things. ... However, I also feel like vocals are in the background among the other instruments or just as loud as the other instruments."

r/iemsBest single DD IEM? Looking for comfort & quality
about 2 months ago

dunu titan s2 has an engaging mild v shape tuning that I'm pretty positive will land with your preferences and a safe option imo. abit less technical versus ea500lm but more natural timbre, bonus points for the insane accessory package (dunu s&s tips, candy tips, standard silicone tips, awesome cable, great case) the ea500lm are noticeably more treble boosted then the defiants and has that classic simgot treble spice, quite possible to be fatiguing to listen to if thats not the type of sound you prefer with some people finding the timbre to be abit metallic which might play against your treble preferences. if you're okay with that then they'll be a very nice set but just know what you're getting yourself into, worth trying out but somewhere with a good return policy ideally if it doesn't work out

you'd probably enjoy something like the 7hz divine if you want that bass for edm but still maintain a high level of clarity and detail enjoy the ea500lm though, beast of an iem for people who like that type of signature

r/iemsI am tired, recommend me a starter IEM.

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

r/iemsWhat was your first experience with more expensive IEMs like?
6 months ago

I got the Simgot EA500LM after buying 3 under $30 IEMs including the Zero 2 and the jump in detail, clarity, and resolution was impeccable. The EA500LM is the end all be all for me, the instrument separation and timbre is also so good, the bass, middle, and treble are all full and present, and for an under $100 IEM, it’s the best one you can get in that price range

I spent about 120€ on my iems and cable and I'm really happy with what I got, I know there's no point in getting anything more expensive because I won't be able to hear the difference anyway and even the ones I got are probably overkill for me (the ea500lm) but they feel really high quality, look amazing are confortable and sound very good too I'm at the point where I know I pretty much maxed out sound quality for me like at the top 99.5%

r/iemsBest IEM under $150 for me?
11 months ago

I see. I am unfortunately not sure what 'warm' sound is. All i know is that vinyls and cassettes have 'warm' sound. I will definitely look into the Blons, as I have wanted to save up some money to gift a friend anyway. I agree that the ea500lm is lacking in bass, but the ear (1)s overdo it , like most TWS in its price range now-a-days. I also find that the ea500lm doesn't really put an emphasis on anything, which is nice in its own way, but I'd prefer to let higher frequency things (flutes, vocals, etc) have more emphasis, ad leave bass to things like bass gitar, kick drum, bigger brass and things. Also wanted to say thanks for the graphs. Very helpful for me, though I need more time to fully comprehend it!

r/iemsBest IEM under $150 for me?

Haha yeah. Always felt it sounded a bit weird on some tracks, but after seeing the graph it confused me a bit. I have gone through the tier list, and after talking with my friend and my own personal investigation, will go with the Simgot EA500LM. If I really end up liking it, I might get the Softears Volume S as my endgame, because it seems very in-line with how I like the tuning.

Get the Simgot EA500LM if you don’t mind potential sharp upper mids and treble Some unit variances are there 🤷🏻‍♂️ but it’s good

r/iemsWhat’s the price range where IEMs hit “peak value”? After what point is spending more basically pointless?
3 months ago

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!)

Agreed. I have been lampooned for my review of the EW300 saying it was sub-mid. And other have taken issue with Tone Deaf Monk, and JayTiss for saying the same thing. The EW300 is absolutely overhyped, and is not kind to certain ear anatomy. For some people it sounds great...i naturally assume those people have never heard anything else, and have zero frame of reference. EA500Lm and Delci AE are superior.

I used to own the Simgot EA500LM, which was told to be one of the best around the price in 2024 when I got it. It was pretty good, but was a bit high in the treble area, have a look at it! I haven't caught up with the scene in 2025 for that price range though.

My case: Simgot EA500LM to Xenns Tea Pro It could honestly be my preference for a different tuning, but getting more richer sound with better bass compared to the bright EA500LM felt amazing to me. Again, not 5x better, but worth it to me.

r/iemsWhat was your first experience with more expensive IEMs like?
6 months ago

My first IEM was EA500LM, I used it for a year, and then about a month ago I bought Xenns Tea Pro, it cost me almost 5x the EA500LM, it's better for sure, but not worth 5 times the cost, maybe twice as good.

r/iemsWhat was your first experience with more expensive IEMs like?
6 months ago

Dang that is way more expensive than I thought it would be. But yeah you are right about the kiddie pool, EA500LM is definitely old news to me now, idk how good you would consider Tea Pro to be, but for me they're very close to endgame, maybe 90% there.

r/iemsAnything “better” than Xenns Tea Pro?
9 months ago

Have you tried something along the likes of Simgot EA500LM? I have them right now but the treble is too much and there isn't much bass. I listen to pop, edm and rock mostly. I'm looking to buy Tea Pro, but I'm also considering Aful P7, Dunu DaVinci and Ziigaat (so many models to consider). Please help.

r/iemsAnything “better” than Xenns Tea Pro?

You see, maybe I'm not actually treble sensitive? Could it be the fact that EA500LM is just *too bright*? Do you think that's a thing?
