New Top Budget IEM - Simgot EM6L & Moondrop Starfield 2 Testing/Review

[@gabby.alcantara]

hi Fresh, since your list of IEMs is getting pretty long now and not all IEMs are made into a video, would you consider making an overall ranking for the IEMs for gaming? Thanks for your work as always!

[@kthekid10]

A Google's sheet would be perfect, even just ranking and then linking to the video itself would be helpful

[@JohnDoe-dt1sr]

There’s a budget, midrange and high-end tier list of links in the description

[@christoph9510]

Picked up a pair of the Simgot today. They are so much more comfortable than the Zero's. The nozzle size, shape, they're vented better, the overall size is smaller. The case is nicer too. I could never get used to the weird pouch the Zero's came with. Definitely worth the extra $60 both in comfort and sound. The depth perception in Call of Duty was a HUGE difference with them. I can pre-fire a corner or doorway at exactly at the right time with these. With the Zero's I almost always would pre-fire too early to the point I just wouldn't pre-fire when I was using them because I'd just give away my position. I also kept hearing so much more through walls it was startling me, and it still really confuses me why there is SO much of a difference. I kept switching back and forth between them because I thought there had to have been an audio update in the game or something. I also picked up another pair of Moondrop Quarks because I lost mine and I usually ended up reaching for those over my Zero's because of the comfort. They're an $11-13ish iem (with or without mic) that have no business being as good as they are. The Quarks definitely belong on an ultra budget iem list. I was planning on getting a $300-500 pair after my Zero's but haven't decided which yet. To my ears these (the Simgots) are definitely a huge upgrade from the Zero's (at least in Call of Duty)

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Glad to hear it. I might have to run through my IEM list in cod and make a vid

[@Nanecot]

since COD has some of the worst in-game audio, it would be good if u made a list or at least include a little bit of COD in your reviews. Keep up with the good work!@@FreshReviewsYT

[@johnrambo9441]

@@FreshReviewsYT Please do. I really want to make the switch to IEMs based off your reviews but I only play cod, so I don't know how these would transfer over to it. Also when you play are you just running stereo or do you have virtual surround applied? I use the soundblaster G6 for surround which I find good, I've tried running regular stereo and find it weird having sound cues coming through on 1 side

[@usmankhalid990]

Thanks for your take, how close do the quarks come to the em6l? And for the em6l are you using the stock tips or the ones that are linked by fresh?

[@christoph9510]

@@usmankhalid990 @usmankhalid990 the Simgot were significantly better for search and destroy in Call of Duty they really let me pick up small sounds across the map but I'd still prefer the quarks for respawn because the Simgots were pretty jarring when there were lots of gunshots and nades. I'm basically finding that balanced armatures are just way better for hearing footsteps and reloads as well as overall separation. I have the light versions (normal and short stem) of the eartip linked but I tried several different ones on them. Can't remember which eartips I liked best with them because my em6l's like many others had the right monitor go out within a couple weeks. Some had nozzles fall off too so I just got a refund instead of a replacement since there were so many people having issues. Comparing the quarks with something like the zeros though I'd definitely choose the quarks if I could only have one because they're so much more comfortable I can't even tell I'm wearing them most of the time and I'm not really losing anything substantial gaming wise, music sounds better too and they're only like $12 I think everyone should have a pair

[@jaysfishandwhips1328]

the KZ ZAR even though alot of people have had QC issues in the past with KZ in general are really good overall compared to the zeros they beat them at pretty much everything and are even close if not better (for some people) compared to the kiwi OLs try those next and let us know what you think.

[@KaibillKaan]

Another great review! Simgot and Kiwi Ears are out here bringing a competitive edge with their prices and quality sets. Theyre gonna be the ones to bring IEMs to the masses. They have something for every flavor. Hope they can come up with something under 200 to disrupt your top 3 in the mid tier list.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Right on!

[@christoph9510]

The em6l definitely seems to have some quality control issues. A lot of people have reported nozzles disconnecting, faceplates coming off, loose connectors. Yesterday my right side just completely stopped working after less than a month, less than about 40 hours of use, no drops, no excessive volume etc (switched the cable to confirm). Already returned it and ordered the Orchestra Lites, decided to gamble on larger size, no venting, and less bass (which based on your review will probably be a good thing in Call of Duty). Really glad I ordered the Simgot from Amazon for the ultra easy return

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Good to know. Thanks

[@DeDovla]

Hey Fresh, just wanted to drop by to say that the EM6L are an amazing find. Using them with the SMSL C200 I feel like they have better positioning and separation in music and games compared to DT 1990 and Zero: RED. It seems that the 3kHz bump in the EM6L is the deciding factor that probably makes them less shouty than the original Zero (which I haven't tried I'm just judging by the FR curve), while it gives them better spatial qualities than the Zero: RED. Also the sound is so immersive on the EM6L I can really feel like I'm in a battlefield when the grenades go off and the gunshots seem more real than on the other sets I have. I find the Zero: RED a bit more enjoyable for music (even without the impedance adapter) as they are less in your face and closer to neutral (or at least to my preference), but the imaging and separation of elements on the EM6L is so nice that I find myself switching often between DT 1990, EM6L and Zero: RED for music while for gaming I'm mostly sticking with EM6L and DT 1990 occasionally when I can't be bothered to use IEMs. Keep the reviews coming and nice work so far!

@@FreshReviewsYT THANK YOU BROOOOOOO

[@cennarr]

Ive asked around a lot here and looked at the videos / reviews and purchased 3 IEMS: EM6L, Quartets, Zero: Red. At first I didnt know which one I preferred but right now im going for the em6ls, The sound sounded the most natural too me which I like. In the beginning I had comfort issues which is why I ordered the quartets but after letting my ears rest a bit I actually think I like the fit of the em6l more with the smaller shell. Also like the cable on the em6l the best, as for the quartets i really did not like the standard ear tips compared to the em6l. In the end I found I personally dont prefer iems and bought open back headphones (hd560s). Only got them today so I havent gotten to try them out a whole lot but so far I am really liking them. If I do want to try out / own iems in the future though I will go for the em6l unless something better has come out in that time. Thanks fresh reviews for answering my comments and others their comments and creating these videos, they were the primary source of my decision for sure! edit: man now I want to try the 900 pro x aswell even though they are more than I was willing to spend 😭

[@makangeleezy]

Just got the EM6L's I love them! Can you compare the yanyin canon ii to the EM6L? What would we get if we jumped up 150-200 dollars? I think after a few sessions with these I wish the soundstage was a bit wider and have a lot more space. Sounds AMAZING though.

Crazy to see the king finally get dethroned in the budget category. As a side note surprisingly the simgot looks very 0 effort/F tier on shell aesthetics while the truthears look S tier. Not that aesthetics matter for sound of course lol, but the simgot is surprisingly ugly/bland.

I recently just got this EM6L after doing my research and stumbling to this video. Do you by chance use any sort of eq for this? I mainly use this for gaming and it sounds good but feels like it gets overwhelmed when alot is happening.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I have a topping Amp dac. That’s it.

[@MenAtArmsGaMing]

Hi bro i got the em6l and i was wondering what to get for more power will a apple dac be enough of should i put in alot of money and get some expensive amp dac if should could you suggest me some good budget options ❤❤ i watch all ur videos big fan

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Thanks! Appreciate that greatly. I’d recommend looking at the SMSL c200 or the topping dx3 pro+. My preference is the topping for IEMs on the budget side

[@martinvegas1327]

Get a Soundblaster for gaming👍

[@Mightymastah]

Thanks Fresh, do you reckon the improved audio on the Orchestra Lite compared to the EM6L are enough to justify double the price tag? I purchased a pair of Orchestra Lites recently and am at the edge of the return window, contemplating if I should return

[@FreshReviewsYT]

If you’re struggling with a budget, the em6l’s get the job done for cheap.

[@Mightymastah]

@@FreshReviewsYT Cheers, budget is okay if Orchestra Lite's do offer a better experience e.g. in imaging, separation, but if the difference is negligible then yea might consider switching

[@muratugur671]

The material quality of Moondrop products is bad aria Whenever I put it on my ear, the silicone end remains in my ear, even the slope required for the silicone not to come out deteriorates, and the paint falls out badly.

[@opinn90]

Hey so I got the em6l, I've been using them with apple dongle to my motherboard, was considering the ifi dac zen v2 but had a question what would it do for iems? because volume isn't really an issue ATM would they sound "better" or any different? I've heard the difference will be not noticable

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Anyone that tells you there won’t be a difference is an absolute trash can

[@LS-is5ob]

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:(

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I’d try something more ergonomic like the kiwi ears quartet.

[@horizonchien4948]

hi,fresh which amp/dac is perfect with EM6L and zonie cable do u have suggetion?

[@scottwangkl8882]

Is it worth going for the EM6L if i already have the Zeros? Wonder if the price jump is worth the performance jump.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Really a personal decision. I think they’re better in some key areas but the zero is great and if your ears and brain are already adapted to them you’ll perform great

[@constantin1737]

Hey, a short question, I currently use the DT 990 pro 250 Ohm and have not yet made any experience in the IEM field. Would the Simgot EM6L a downgrade, or can you get into the IEM world with those once?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I’d rather play with the Em6l over the 990 tbh !

[@jonathansanchezmedina]

fresh what you prefers ... TRUTHEAR zero blue or beyerdinamic mmx300?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Hmmmm tough call. Depends on the game

[@jonathansanchezmedina]

@@FreshReviewsYT cs go I wsnt iems cs go

[@RussTeeRider]

Can you review the KZ PR2 for gaming? The most affordable Planar IEM. I hear that Planars have very good imaging and separation. It's leaning towards harman tuning too with a little bit of air.

[@macho7409]

they have 'revised' it and its not harman anymore its just neutral with maxed out treble which is kinda cancer

[@RussTeeRider]

@@macho7409 not really cancer. It has the same treble performance as other planars graph wise. I have the revised version, too. I love it, though I have not yet tried the much more expensive planar driver ones. But compared to my Single DD and Dual DD sets, air and treble is much better on the PR2.

[@Lacagz]

Hi fresh I bought the zeros based off your recommendation a while back but wondering about upgrading I'm diamond in both apex and Val and kinda want to know the actual incremental sound stage / resolution change to pull the trigger on the kiwi orchestra lite

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Resolution will be the biggest change. I think it’s a direct upgrade and worth it tbh. For JUST gaming the zero is great though. But you’ll appreciate the differences enough to say …. Aaaaah this is nice.

[@Lacagz]

@@FreshReviewsYT Thanks a lot I will be pulling the trigger ^^

[@usmankhalid990]

Hey Fresh, can you take a look at the simgot ea 1000 to let us know whether it’s a better fps performer than these?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

quick answer - it is not

[@usmankhalid990]

@@FreshReviewsYT appreciate it!

[@TheHalosofts]

Yoo Fresh, have you tried the KZ PR2, how is it for gaming?

[@noccm]

Can you elaborate a little on the bump you gave to the dunu kima? Last week the kimas were ranked 4th on your budget list behind the kiwi ears quartet and the moondrop Lan. Now they are ahead of both of those. I just ordered the quartet should I cancel my order and get the kimas if I want very good gaming and decent music?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

For gaming I felt they should go back up. For gaming and music the quartet wins

[@Amp1tude]

@@FreshReviewsYT What would you say would be an upgrade for gaming and music from the quartet?

[@InvictusLegend]

Hey fresh! I just got my Simgot EM6L as well as a pair of DT 900 Pro X. I wanted to know which has a better WIDER soundstage as well as imaging to pick up footsteps better? I want to know before i return one of them and get my money back. Id really appreciate the response 😢 i dont wanna open the boxes yet, so please let me know 🥹

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Between those two items for gaming I would go with the 900 pro x

[@crian117]

Hoping to see a test of the CCA Duo

[@drrejected5228]

And if the squiglink measurements are correct, it can rival the EM6L

[@ArthurKlucznik]

I currently use the epos h6pro open via 3.5 on the ps5/ Xbox controller. I want to take a break from headphones and go with iems for a bit. Would the simgot be a good substitute, not saying upgrade, but maybe a good sidegrade? I obviously don't expect them sound as open as the epos, but would they offer similar levels of detail retrieval and pinpoint accuracy?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Oh I’d absolutely recommend them as a first iem. If you grab them swing back and let me know what you think comparing them to your Epos! My only concern is whether the controllers will drive them well, but worth a try!

[@ArthurKlucznik]

Thanks for the quick reply. Last question, the tips you were using and linked in description, I guess it's the large size that's the correct fit and not the medium/ small?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@@ArthurKlucznik so the size you can choose actually depends on your ears not the IEM itself. You have to try to find what fits you the best between the sizes

[@ArthurKlucznik]

@@FreshReviewsYT great, thank you. I thought I had to pick L, M, S for the nozzle size and then again L, M, S for my ears
