Simgot EA500 LM - Worth the Hype?

[@reiness]

Compared to budget IEMs EA500LM is far more resolving IMO. Crystal clear sound if paired with clean source. The tuning might not be for everyone but the technical chops is one of the best in its price range.

[@RatioComputers-wz9tu]

This, get your hearing checked old man.

[@fuzail3379]

Boost treble a lot and call it resolution. Lol.

[@taidee]

You can see how people don't like your opinion, they prefer theirs and think it's fact.

[@wahid-lg1kk]

@@RatioComputers-wz9tu I think western people need to get their hearing checked.. You all prefer dark dark iem's.. You can't handle any treble at all. Details come with treble. There is no way around this.

[@asx1248]

If the Scientific Audiophile can make mistakes there’s hope for us all!

[@wahid-lg1kk]

The zero 2 is fantastic for its price, but the simgots are brilliant. Literally.

[@클로이]

Its a huge upgrade from zero2 to ea500lm, ea500lm is such a market destroyer😂

[@TheVeganVicar]

I consider the EA500LM to be FAR, FAR, FAR superior to the 7Hz Zero 2. However, if you can afford it, go for the Hidizs MP145.

[@wahid-lg1kk]

@@TheVeganVicar you can't compare those things, really.. Different price points. Gear has to be judged in it's price bracket. I am using for a planar the kz pr2, when I can I will get the letshuoer s15 pro..

[@클로이]

@@TheVeganVicar mp145 need to eq,so I recommend tangzu wu hey day or 7hz timeless

[@galaxyliu369]

for those who hasn't owned one yet, I can tell u that this headphone is way better than airpod max, with a good dac, u will be able to hear more instruments in all the songs u heard before with airpod.

[@WXHPOYA]

Have both the EA500LM and zero 2…and I genuinely disagree with you. Zero 2 is indeed very pleasant to listen to, but otherwise inferior in all aspects. Zero 2 has more quantity in bass but it’s quite bloated, resulting very muddy low mids.

[@nhennessy6434]

Just buy them and EQ down the extra treble. That's what I did, and I love them. And yes, the quality appearance makes it worthwhile--for me. Everyone else's mileage may vary. Props to you on the Devinus Velvet's. Along with the Azla Lights, they are the tips I use for everything. Good review.

[@scientificaudiophile]

Agreed. Though many people using phones as a source don’t know that is possible (actually a lot of people using computers don’t know either).

[@the7observer]

you could make a video about eartips. Is content that is very hard to find and when you find it the reviewer fails to tell which effect the eartips do (more or less bass, middle or treble) edit: would be also interings to check IEMs at different price points

[@lawrencewang3327]

Hrtf and physiology affects iem reviews so much, I feel like that would be even more exacerbated with tip reviews.

[@budsmoker4201120]

Great Vid Bud! I am currently looking for some IEM or headphones. Head phone range is like 200 and IEM would be in the 100 dollar or cheaper range

[@MSH3423]

I have a small ear.. Are there any iem with smaller nozzle? Moondrop quarks are comfortable.. ChU II with form tip... Is best I can stick with

[@scientificaudiophile]

Everyone has a different ear size. Most include what they call small, but you’ll have to experiment. Good luck.

[@andonlytheone111]

They come with different eartips sizes, that's what determines the fit, not the nozzle. Furthermore, Most people will buy aftermarket eartips that are more comfortable. I like spinfit models

[@shantanusahu9168]

Ea500lm Vs Chopin?

[@ValerieFire]

I'm looking for an IEM under $100 USD to get pumped up to EDM to. I'm looking for an IEM with a sub-bass focus and textured bass and overall more focused on quality than quantity. I'm not sensitive to treble. Would you recommend the Simgot EA500LM or something else entirely?

[@scientificaudiophile]

Truthear Nova

[@ValerieFire]

@@scientificaudiophile Are they as big in the ear as they look? Amd thanks for responding!

[@scientificaudiophile]

@@ValerieFire They’re larger than I would like. Definitely bigger than the Simgots.

Haven’t tried those. Sorry.

Pedantry Alert: It's a Simgot, not a Linsoul Simgot, Linsoul is just an online store.

[@rahbertl3085]

Thank you, That is is a Very Good & Honest Video. I appreciate it. I agree with everything you said 100%. Thanks. I was hesitant on buying the Simgot EA500LM because I did not think Simgot EA500LM were that good compared to other IEMs competition in the IEM Market, there are so many other IEMs that can/do sound Better than the Simgot EA500LM. I already have 18 really Good IEMs in my IEMs Collection already. I own the $90.00 Tri Meteor HIFI In Ear IEMs with 10mm Dynamic Driver, and I own the $50.00 AOSHIDA E20 In-Ear Monitors IEMs with 10mm Beryllium Coated HiFi 8mm DLC Diaphragm Dual Dynamic Drivers, and the AOSHIDA and TRI Meteor IEMs sound much better than the Simgot EA500LM. I will not buy the Simgot EA500LM, I do NOT think Simgot EA500LM are worth the Hype.

[@scientificaudiophile]

What’s your favorite iem in your collection?

[@rahbertl3085]

Well Actually, I have "5" Favorite IEMs that I always take with me when I go to work in the/my Office, My Favorite IEMs of mine are, #1The Thieaudio Oracle MKII it is a 2EST+2BA+1DD Tribrid IEM, and #2The EPZ 530 IEM it is a 5 BA IEM, and #3The JUZEAR 41T it is a 1DD+4BA IEM, and #4The AFUL Performer 5 it is a 1DD + 4BA IEM, and #5The Yanyin x HBB Mahina it is a 2EST+4BA+1DD Tribrid IEM. These are all Really Good IEMs, these are some of the Best IEMs that sound Exceptionally Good/Fantastic with all Genres of Music, even when listening on any Dongle DACs too, they are good. Thanks.@@scientificaudiophile

[@nidhinpavurala517]

Any favourites under 100$? ​@@rahbertl3085

[@aarvpaul8242]

would you recommend this if i already had crinical zero red

[@scientificaudiophile]

Yes, if for nothing more than a much better look/feel of them. The plasticky zero reds are larger and more obtrusive, at least for me, in real world use.

[@Gimlet6051]

What iems would you recommend under $100 instead of them?

[@scientificaudiophile]

Under $100? none. I do like Crinacle Zero's, but if someone gave me $100 and said, go buy a pair of IEMS and you have to spend every penny, I'd get the EA500's.

I own both EA500LM and Zero 2. The Zero2 was horrible, it had no bass, that set was overhyped. The LM is pretty solid, but a tad bright. There are other sets that I find better around the same price. The Artti R1 might be my favorite under $100, but I also like the Tripowin Kailua.

[@georgeweah9717]

Has scratchy treble, can be fixed with EQ though. Definitely not worth that amount of money. EM6 or Hexa can be found for that amount of money, which are better imho.

[@scientificaudiophile]

Absolutely!

Don't forget the 7hz sonus which is like between 35 and 40 at aliexpress

I have the hexa and they don’t compare to these . Also the nozzle is massive so uncomfortable for me .
