A great review and recommendation. I may have to get them to validate the musicality and gaming performance. Thank you for your time and efforts to assess these IEMs and Antlion cable. Much appreciated, Sir.
I just got these in a few days ago. Im really enjoying them, and i agree with your review. The imaging and seperation seems to be the stand out characteristic to me. Great for gaming.
You did an amazing job at describing the iem for both music and gaming use cases, bravo sir! For me if they want some CRITICAL FEEDBACK, I can already tell them 2 things that are deal breaker in my book : - ditch the atrocious connector for more reliable 2-pin 0,78 (or recessed 2-pins). The QDC plastic breaks overtime making a collector item completely useless.. - use a more ergonomic shape for the part that make contact with the ear. (ditching the metal shell if necessary) Keep the same driver config and tuning DON'T RUIN IT with the shell revision. A bold move would be to not sale cable with the set but recommend few that match the needs (3.5, 4.4, the gaming cable featured in the vid).
Hey! thats me! the discord admin with purple cable! But yeah for the most part I'm very much in agreement to what Joe has said about the IEMs itself. I found the cable to be a bit.. Intruiging. It doesn't feel like it would break any time soon but also doesn't feel like it fits the IEMs overly well. The case was my favourite addition to it. But also there is a lack of ear tips for peoples choice. The overall comfort and seal on them for me is incredible I think I'm also using the larger tips. Where as usually on standard ear buds I might go medium or sometimes large depending on bore size. I did EQ mine.. Ive been running Beyer headphones for a while and I've developed a likening to a bit of a peak on the highs in EDM and Metal. The way I described it to joe in my dms with him was. Compared to my 1990s they have a bit of energy but its not excessive its kinda addictive though. Out of box they are so smooth with a warm/dark sharpness to it that really adds to it.
If you add just a touch of spatial audio to them with Sonar they almost sound like some really good over the ear headphones. I do -10 immersion and half distance. Really widens the stage but keeps imaging.
Saw it on fresh reviews channel and bought it based on his recommendation. It’s insane if you play competitive games. I play valorant and Csgo and tarkov (a lot lately) and it’s better than my hd5xx imo. I did have to get the Dunu S&S ear tips because the stock ones are not good for my ears.
New to your channel and love the content! Picked these up recently and I’m happy I did……not sure a headset at this price can compare. Imaging & details are great….thanks for the recommendation!
Wsg y’all, haven’t gotten the em6l yet. But the Hook Xs are fkn gooood. I hear some people have mixed reviews but I love them overall. Fit perfect with foam tips. The overall sound quality is top tier that I’ve heard (coming from a few iems and a bunch of open back headphones). I’d recommend them if they ever go on sale.
@GadgetryTech Hi. Thank you so much for all the reviews I am now reviewing with great interest. The more I review the more I know nothing. I have owned Audeze Penrose for 2 years, I was happy with them, but they are already so sticky due to various cracks and I would like to have them as a replacement for music and simracing games. My purchase is torn between: SteelSeries Arctis Nove Pro Wireless, SteelSeries Arctis Nove Pro. Here I'm wondering if if I listen on the wire the wireless version will have better sound quality somehow significantly. And just the IEM Simgot EM6L with Antlion Audio Kimura Microphone Cable (MMCX) and to this the CREATIVE Sound Blaster GC7. I don't know which of these solutions will be the best and what to choose. Could you give me some advice on what would be the best option and which way should I go?
Haha yeah I made a pretty big mistake and wanted to fix it. Plus I should have gone live in the evening. A bad combo of things I wanted to fix. They’re amazing though
I use SIMGOT EM6L and I am very satisfied. It is a great pleasure to listen to music with him. I can easily understand the location of the players while playing the game. I want to upgrade to a higher model. What do you recommend I buy? I have a budget of $400. I used Truthear Zero, but the sounds were too complicated, I didn't like it at all and returned it. I hope I was able to explain my taste in sound.
Hello sir, as for competitive FPS gaming, you think these Simgot EM6L are better then moondrop kato, 7hz timeless AE? I have no experience with IEM but i've been using Sennheiser CX100 for years in competitive gaming and i heard every step, every reload, everything from miles and i"ve been using Logitech G pro wireless headset for now but these are worthless... Im looking for the best now and IEM's sounds amazing!
I run IEMS on my Xbox controller and they work fine. Anything with an impedance of 32oms and below works with a controller but anything higher you will need a dac or amp. I use the BASN MTPROS with an MMCX antlion mic and they work awesome!
great review though I'm really in doubt and maybe you can help me, I'm in doubt between the SIMGOT EM6L vs Kiwi Ears Quartet for gaming and music, but more for gaming
How would you compare these to the Chopin? Which do you prefer and why? Also, I see that you hinted that you prefer the dynamic driver iems more than the hybrids. Which dynamic driver iems would you highly recommend (under say $600)?
Hey gadgetry tech, thanks for the awesome review! Just grabbed a pair of these and was wondering if I could plug them straight into my dual sense edge controller or whether they would benefit from an amp/dac and if so, which amp/dac would you recommend for the ps5 for this IEM. Thanks again for all that you do and hope you had a great New Year’s Day!
@@usmankhalid990 Thanks for the reply 🤝 I’ll be ordering some of those tips I got a pair of budget simgot ew200’s and the ear tips do feel flimsy and cheap. Do they sound decently loud overall ? Plan on using them for mw3.
ive just got these from using steel series nova pro... am loving them with using your website for eq... only thing i cant get right is the warzone preset sound... headphones sounds to loud headphone boost to low? what would you use?
Was hoping you'd make this video. I have the Fiio FH3s and the only problem i have with them is the slightly piercing sound. Improved layering also is welcome. Does the em6L help the above?
I have both, the em6l is the opposite of the fh3. It’s warm lush and full. Both have fantastic bass. The em6l is easier to listen to, but not dark sounding. I’d recommend getting a flat .78mm 2 pin cable, the qdc just doesn’t work for fitting the em6l very well. Also for eartips I recommend dunu s&s or spinfit w1.
Hey thanks for that man. I just placed the order. I already have a Tripowin Petrichor cable that I got for my Truthear Zeroes. I guess I'll use that one for the em6l if I can. Thanks a ton!
@GadgetryTech Thanks for another detailed and amazing review 😎 I have the original Truthear Crinacle Zero and I love them for gaming, but the question is the EM6L noticeably better for imaging in gaming?
Me too, i was thinking about upgrading to these or something a little bit more expensive like the orchestra lite from kiwi ears or the yanyin canon II🤔 mainly because i find the zero's a little bit uncomfortable (and because i can't stop buying audio stuff 😅)
@@Patife_PT Comfort with IEM’s is definitely a tricky one. I normally can’t use traditional earphones, because they fall out of my ear lol, but IEM’s for perfect with the smallest ear tip and it doesn’t cause any pain either I’m hoping Joe will respond soon as I’m really curious and if it’s better than the Crinical Zero, then I’m ordering it asap lol
Hey, I have the Truthear Zeroes and last week got the EM6L. Yes, it's a noticable upgrade. Especially if you, like me found the Zeroes to be a bit shouty in the upper mids. With the EM6L, I was able to game without having to worry about reducing the volume, and it still provided incredible detail and layering. Layering is something where budget iems fall apart, but this one holds up really well. I guess it's due to the number of drivers they have in them.
@@zerotactix5739 Thanks, I’m ordering the EM6L tomorrow, so I’ll have them by Saturday, I can’t wait to try them I’m ok with the sound being shouty as I like my sound really loud and piercing. I know I’ll probably be deaf by the time I’m 60 years old lol If the EM6L can get loud and still comfortable to the ears while providing excellent detail, then it’s a winner
Hello. I've been using the Truthear Zero (blue) for a week now, but it feels like it's missing something. My goal is to play games and listen to music. I like to listen to quality music while resting after being tired. . This is my first time using IEM headphones. I live in Turkey and the conditions here are a bit challenging, I don't think I can constantly try different brands and models. I want to evaluate it while the spring sales have started. Can you recommend me a nice model? My budget is maximum 400$. I just want to put on my headphones and have fun. I want to play games, listen to music and watch movies. Please help me on this issue, I have no idea.
Hey man, watching your videos for a looong time! Big fan of yours. Do you know which IEM JoeWo is using ? I asked him on Twitch but is not answering because they makers of the IEM are not paying him. Maybe you can see on his videos which one he uses? Would be greatly appreciated man.
Probably the Linsoul Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lites. A lot of cod bros use them because ArtIsWar usually recommends those and his channel is all about improving cod and he has some IEM reviews. Check out his channel if you haven’t before
I just ordered these I have a steel series dac that came with my nova pro headset and I also have the Apple usb c dac which should I use? I mostly play pc but I have Xbox and PlayStation as well
Hi! Do you know if they fit small ears and small ear canals? I tried multiple iems now: truthear crinacle, aria, ksz z10, kiwi cardenza . None of them fit my ears properly the housing is way to big and sits on top of my ear and not inside, some of them even had such a big nozzle that it wouldn’t even fit with the smallest tips included. My main use case is for gaming, where directional positioning and hearing footsteps is most important to me. (Cod, fortnite, valorant). Sorry for this much text but i don’t know which ones to try anymore:(
Hi, it's an amazing review & presentation as always. This is a great IEM. For Only gaming purpose I think Moondrop Stellaris is a better option in sub 100$. Stellaris has the best details retrieval under 200$ or maybe 250$. Yes it's bright, but it's a Planner magnetic driver, you can always EQ them, It has a wide soundstage, very good imaging. It has a good sub bass too. Is there any chance you're going to review it in future ?
Lol. A lot of peaks & dips. Why not choose S12 which has peaks or Mp145. You can eq stellaris but you to measure yourself because of a lot qc issue in planar iems
It shouldn't. Cables don't make any noticable difference in sound. Unless you're using 4.4 balanced cables compared to 3.5mm, in which case, depending on the IEM, you may have increased Soundstage and higher volume.
Can I hook these up to an Xbox controller and get the same quality sound? I’m trying to find something comfortable to play on console that doesn’t clamp my head.
Anyone tried these with the Tomb Raider remasters? I just ordered some for my Switch Lite for the physical release in September. I'm using a Ibasso DC03 Pro an upgrade to my Soundblaster X1, i have the Tygr 300R with a GC7 with my console and wanted a similar type sound with my Switch lite, i've been using the CCZ Warrior with Mirage cable and Spin Fit CP155 tips for Dark Souls and have used Zero blue and a few others in the past👍
What if i don't want to carry/use DAC/AMP, just directly plug n play to the system or laptop 3.5mm jac . Does it make any difference? Like sound wise? For gaming and music listening
@@zerotactix5739 thank you so much for the quick response ❤️. I'm newbie for trying out at iems 😄 Gonna try the ew200 with cheap DAC (if you suggest the name for cheap DAC which I can carry too)
@@Memon219 iFi go link is good. I have it, and is plenty sufficient for these. But if you're only on your desktop pc, then probably the iFi audio Uno. But beware, this is a dangerous hobby if you take it seriously lol. First you get an iem, you enjoy it for a few weeks and you might wanna know what's better next.
I need a adapter between my pc and the simgot maybe a adapter length of 1-2 metre because the cable is to short for me, do i get quality lost because of the length adapter?
I really really wanna get these, but keep seeing reviews on amazon that they are falling apart, the glue is cheap, and that they stop working after a couple months. Even in those reviews they say they sound great, but i really want them to last. Some people even get used ones somehow. Should I just avoid amazon?
you don't need a dac. but a dac would make them sound way better. you don't have to go crazy a dongle dac would be great. also get memory foam tips for the iems. you get bass and they will stay on really well@@jungeenibale4228
Can someone please please help me. I’m looking for a mic/wire to attach to these to speak to my friends while gaming I’m absolutely clueless and dunno what to get or to even look for
Would it be an upgrade from the Crinacle Zeros OG ? Also, I'm looking for the best cheap DAC/AMP as I'm plugged into my motherboard, any suggestions ? Thank you !
Cheapest good dac I guess would be the iFi Uno if you're using a desktop, or if you want a portable one, the iFi GO Link. Definitely better than most motherboard audio. Not sure about the high end motherboards which they say are really good. I have the b450 Tomahawk one, and the sound out of it is ass.
