A BIG thanks to ‪@intoitreviews‬ for providing the SImgot EA500 for review, much appreciated. Is the EA500 the budget beast it has been hyped to be or is it a budget bust not living up to the hype?

This is an accurate critique. The EA500 has an odd presentation that makes everything sound like live music. It gives tracks a sense of energy that plays well with certain genres (rock and electronic). It can be fun in small doses, but will quickly tire you out. The details and fun factor are good for the price, but I would pick these up as a complement to a more conventional set, than as a daily driver.

Thanks for the review , I use the eartips from CCA CRA on the ea500 and the result is smoother and more extended highs even on the black eartips. But the bass is lacking on this , That is why I've been listening more to the new Fiio fd11 recently, It has transparent , neutral and accurate sounding mids and highs but with exaggerated and engaging bass . I hope you also review it soon . 🙂

Only partially agree with your conclusions. It can be slightly shouty on some music, but the detail retrieval and resolution are the best I heard in this price range. It competes with planars in this department. The note weight is better than OG Olina or SE. Comfort, fit and seal for me is extremely good. I prefer narrow bore tips - Final type E, or ST35. Kato nozzles also fit, brass one tames some upper mids.

I respect your opinion on these, but I like my ea500 with the black filter Moondrop cable and Azla eartips. I had the Dunu Kiwi Ears Orchestra and sent them back, great bass and build, but the BAs have sibilants. Tone Deaf Monk pointed that out. If you don’t like the ea500, you probably won’t like the Dunu Kima Classic, because it does have sibilants as well. Thanks for the review.

It's a pity it received B+ from you, that's pretty bad. I find EA500 to be a great pair of IEM. I don't notice any sibilance with red filters. I find the holographic-like sound amazing and fun to listen to. Bass is punchy, mids are fine, treble is wonderful especially with brass instrument sounds. About Hi-res certification, EA500 is officially hi-res certified by JAS while many chifi IEMs are self-certified but officially not. Eg. Letshuoer S12 Pro. It's an amazing set of IEM.

@TheHonestAudiophile
@TheHonestAudiophile Год назад
@@koningklootzak7788 It was a joke that started at the very early stages of my YT channel when a product had multiple HiRes stickers and it actually sound terrible to my ears. In the comments I got numerous viewers who defended the product because of the HiRes capabilities and sonics. So I adapted a small joke that a Hi-Res sticker product always sounds good and that has lived on my channel ever since. I use Hi-Res music all the time to review products and in my everyday personal listening. I don't put stock in any one type of format sounding better or worse, I use what ever file sounds the best. I know that Hi-Res music is a term for files with greater than 44.1 kHz sample rate or higher than 16-bit audio bit depth. It commonly refers to 96 or 192 kHz sample rates; 44.1 kHz/24-bit, 48 kHz/24-bit and 88.2 kHz/24-bit recordings are also considered Hi-Res. Big deal if it has a certification; I don't care about that, all that matters is how it sounds and reproduces. The EA500 sounds bad even though it has a Hi-Res sticker!

HI. How does the EA500 perform compared to the hexa you previously reviewed? (I currently have the hexa and the ew200 which I find more enjoyable but in music with various instruments I notice that the performance becomes confused and I find that the details are obtained from an increase in the treble rather than from the capacity of the driver... for these reasons I prefer the hexa and I'm interested in your opinion between hexa vs ea500).

Absolutely agree. I now use it for the synthetic instruments, EDMs mainly. In this price range, I find the Dunu Titan S brilliant in its reproduction of natural sounds, there is a purity there that's missing in EA500. Titan S has the details, better soundstage, more purity in the vocals or natural instruments, xcellent Timbre. Its Bass, though, lacks the authority, the oomph i feel...But that apart, Titan S is great for that price point.

Hi :), the stock tips are terrible thats propably why they didnt block that outside noise for you. Driver is of exceptional quality and I wish you would be able to hear them after my mod, the driver filled its potential. After mod when I am deciding what to use I would grab them even more often than my Kinera nanna 2.0 or other kilobuck stuff ❤

Truthear Zero Red is more pleasant to listen, more accurate tone and timbre, isn't as aggressive in the upper mids and treble and is better resolving. The SImgot has better detail retrieval and wider, deeper stage.

Oh interesting, so you like Titan S and Dauntless better overall.. right? How do the two compare? Mainly for instrumental orchestral music jazz, blues and funk. Which do you suggest?
@TheHonestAudiophile
@TheHonestAudiophile 11 месяцев назад
Titan S is more vocal & mids present. The Dauntless is more balanced but more neutral, monitor leaning. I love both for blues and funk.

The review is so totally off the mark. The seal is brilliant to begin with. I don't hear any outside sound or interference even at 50% volume on my phone and no I'm not even using a portable dac/Amp. The comfort level is next level considering the fact that they are built like a tank. Once you put these on its such snug fit just doesn't feel as if they are there. Yes that's how good they fit thanks to the ovalish pebble design. Coming to the sound it's simply brilliant and i have the more expensive Kiwi Orchestra Lite. So for the price to performance ratio is great. The SS is holographic. You just had to do bad review to say something different from the others reviewers who as a matter of fact have loved this pair. Disappointed with YOUR PERSPECTIVE. And to think of it I used to like your reviews and was looking forward to this one. To each his own I guess. One man's music is another's static noise. Guys go for the Simgot EA500s they punch way beyond their price!

Hey. Is kiwiear orchestra lite is better sounding than ea500? If yes then how much better.. I already own ea500 and planning to buy orchestra lite. Thanks
@TheHonestAudiophile
@TheHonestAudiophile 11 месяцев назад
Orchestra Lite is an upgrade to the EA500. Better detail retrieval, resolution, more balanced and cohesive, less BA timbre. EA500 has more bass impact, more elevated mids and treble.

This reads like unconscious bias honestly. Normally I can get behind your critiques but this feels like looking for something wrong with a popular transducer. Definitely outclasses every other iem that uses this particular 10mm. Gives my Oxygen a terrifying run for it's money too... found your opinions on timbre strange as well being a person that has eclectic tastes; I listen to everything, including a lot of jazz, folk, and orchestral. 2000 Rudy Van Gelder remaster of Lee Morgan's Search For The New Land: Brass is *alive* piano/ drums/ cymbals presented accurately, standing bass is *in the room*.... nothing metallic Simon & Garfunkel The Boxer: Kick drum, bass harmonica, Martin 000-18 sound as full and alive as they ever have on anything. Strings a bit forward on analytical sources. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
