Awesome review, Andy! I purchased the HBB version of the EW300, but it looks like it will be another week or 2 before I receive it. I could've gotten the standard version in just a couple of days, but I wanted the collaboration version to start with. I plan on getting the DSP version if the HBB version knocks my socks off 😆
I’ve been thinking about getting this one. I have so many decent dac/amps like the Q15 and the Gryphon the standard edition is the one I’m leaning towards. Great review Andy. Thank you 🙏
I changed the supplied tips of the ew300 dsp to some AZLA SednaEarfit Crystal Standard. A big improvement in every way to the: width, detail, and excitement
Thanks man, this one was shot 100% on 10Bit 4.2.2 resolution so it does look better, and the shots were meticulously done (I scrapped the lousy angle shots, lol)
I bought a second hand EW 300 recently almost half the price which is blindly no brainer purchase. pairing it with all sources from 3.5 to 4.4 balanced that outputs up to 1400mw. this do scale better with amplification. like u said its clean to me more like it is compressed sounding . dynamically no open it doesn't breathe well with the music. i go back to my Dunu Titan S "OG" and modded HZ Sound Heart Mirror "OG" for reference/go to sets. this EW for gym use because of that elevated and not so organic/natural bass region. overall frequency response, timbre/texture is jus okay at least for the price of RM 180 that i paid. that is the price reasonable for its sound. build quality and accessories was great.
Simgot is one of my favorite brands today. Excellent products with excellent prices. Maybe we get a EA600 this year? 🤔 Counting on this! Great review as usual Andy! Have a wonderful week ✌🏽
Hi Andy, thank you for the DSP mic test. I believe you're the only one, who currently has this covered in youtube. If you don't mind, do you know if the sound quality of the silver/standard ew300 will change using the 3.5mm apple dongle/adapter? I was asking, because my phone still uses the apple lightning connection. 😅 I am thinking of just getting the DSP version and sacrifice phone compatibility if the sound quality of the silver ew300 will be reduced after pairing it with the apple dongle. Also, do you think Sennheiser IE200 will be a better choice as my first and only IEM than the EW300 for casual music listening and watching movies? Thank you!
Thanks!. Using the EW300 DSP is superior to using EW300 with an Apple dongle. So, if you want simplicity go for EW300DSP all the way. I never tried IE200 so I have no idea on that one
@@AndyAudioVault Thanks, Andy. I also remember that my extra 3.5mm earphones, which is included from my old android phone, when used with apple lightning adaptor on iphone sounds a lot quieter compared to using it without dongle on pc/laptop. Thanks again Andy, and have a nice day! :)
Andy, your reviews are truly amazing and very enlightening. I'm a bit undecided between these Simgot EW300 DSP version and the Moondrop May. Which do you think is better? I would use them to listen to music (mostly rock and pop). Your content is gold!
Thanks. If I have to choose between those two, I am more inclined to go for the more technically competent EW300 over May. But May will have more appeal especially if you like Moondrop style Harman tuning (better Subbass)
Hi Andy 😊 In the $30 range. I'm looking to buy Kinera Celest Wyvern Abyss It really looks attractive. I hope you can experience and review it. Thanks you 😊
Thanks 👍👍 How do you think it compares to the EA500s and EML6? Especially in the layering department. Edit: I've never tried an Iem with a piezo driver. Is it very noticeable? Bothersome to treble sensitive people?
As noted in this review, EW300 actually now playing on same level to the likes of EA500 and even EM6L. And of course you can tune the nozzle if you prefer not to have too much treble by using the 2nd one provided and further tame it down with foam inserts which is also provided. Peizo and Planar combo gives EW300 great capabilities with layering and separation, that's for sure
Thanks!. no worries about that. EW300 comes with another nozzle which seem to dampen the high frequency and you can even dampen it even more if you want to by inserting the foam included with the set. Great for treble sensitive people
Hi. I want zvx updates. Judging by the reviews, I choose between KZ ZAR, Hydro and EW 300. Listening to Steven Wilson, early Depeche Mode, MUSE, Bent Knee, Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra, rock operas, Hiromi The Trio Project, Shortparis. I like the open and powerful concert sound. Help me with the choice. Maybe other models?
Andy, I was curious to know if I bought the dsp vertion and buy a iem cable let's say 4.4 mm balanced one is sound signature will be the same as dsp ... i mean is default tuning of both the iem (analog & dsp) same when using analog cable? ...
Part of the sound of DSP version is the dongle itself, so if you use a different cable with normal plugs, the output will then be influenced on how different they are from the integrated EW300 dongle sound wise
Andy, you have Tidal like me. If Qobuz becomes available in Malaysia, I would like to know if you will leave Tidal. You are an expert in sound, so I am very interested in what you have to say about Qobuz.
I will not likely leave Tidal. I like Tidal especially how it performs now. It has all the library I need and I like the FLAC lossless quality it offers
Comparatively almost on equal footing with Delci AE in many ways sound wise. Very hard to tell the differences unless you spend long listening session critically. With Que, I don't have it yet but I can safely say Que is warmer, smoother and more musical, more Mids centric
hey man thanks for the review i wanna ask if this is better than delci (the dsp version + i have 3.5 cable for it if i wanna go analog ) and if its the best iem value for the price at its price point (cuz im still in college and saved around 85$ for one so i can't change or upgrade) I like vocals songs but I listen to all geners in general
Better? not really because EW300 and Delci to me competes within similar territory when it comes to sound quality. What separates them perhaps just variances of tuning where I would consider Delci edging closer to Harman target and EW300 towards V sound curve, of which personal preferences will determine which one you will like more. Delci is also markedly more bassy than EW300
@@AndyAudioVault well i prefer vocals songs so as u said ew300 is great in such thing But my qurstion is about the others Like sound stage imaging sepration details techincal peformence is ew300 better in these thing?
Great review as always! I'm contemplating if I should get this or the ea500 LM, I can get them at the same price which is 60 USD. which is better between the two?
does the EW300 DSP sounds same as regular one if you put the 3.5mm cable? i love the looks of EW300 DSP with matte black, if it sound the same i would buy the DSP version and change the cable
As i own kz zs10pro 2, i am debating to buy ew300. What are your opinions, would ew300 be good upgrade from zs10pro 2? I am interested into hbb version, but no one has made review on them so far ..
EW300 is tuned differently from ZS10Pro 2. EW300 is tuned closer to neutral target and not as colored or energetic as ZS10Pro. I think the HBB version is the same just the look changed a bit for fans of HBB
@@AndyAudioVault yeah, I also think that hbb and regular ew300 only change the outside shell, and share the same sound tuning. I am more keen on getting the hbb version and with a custom black cable + divinus Velvet wide bore tips, to go full black stealth combo look. That comment you made that they are great for metal music has me so close to ordering them, because I also listen to metal, that comment is just pushing me to get them and upgrade from zs10pro 2.
Hi Andy. I'm really confused between the EW300 DSP and Artti T10 + basic dongle dac like jcally jm6 pro. I can avail both for same price. You have ranked the T10s much above the EW300 in your rankings. I'm looking for a one and done set to use with my PC for music (all genres), gaming & movies. Which one would you recommend and why? Would really appreciate your response.
@@AndyAudioVault Thank you very much! Just a small confirmation. One(and only) negative I've heard of the T10s is their imaging. Would that be a problem as I play a lot of fps games?
Yes, especially if you use the 2nd nozzle and if you need even more dampening, use the foam insert into the nozzles to tame even more Treble (the foams included in the box)
Just a little better (and I mean very little) with overall resolution and energy, EW300 however offer slightly better rendering of smooth organic and airy transients than SuperMix
I remember you once told me that the Astell euphonic doongle made your headphones sound like electrostatic, but some say the EW300 piezo driver in the highs sounds lively. Do you know if piezo and electrostatic are the same technology?
No it's different. If you want to know more on my thoughts for Electrostatic, watch my Japan trip video of searching for the STAX legend. In short, Peizoelectric is a totally different tech, true Electrostatic IEMs are ONLY Shure KSE1500 and STAX SRM-002, the other Electrostatic people talk about are not REAL Electrostatic developed by Sonion of which the correct term to designate them would be Magneto Static. True Electrostatic need at least 200V of power to even make sound. I love true Electrostatic because they offer the fastest transient response with zero distortion and hell of airy ethereal timbre
The DSP version does have a headroom limit especially if you are the type who listen to loud volume, in this case it would be better to get the normal version and then you can attach it to more powerful sources. But I personally never find the DSP being soft or weak, it offers ample and comfortable loudness. Cleaner and clearer? both are already clean and clear, just that the normal version can perform even better once you connect it to high performing sources like what I use here, which are iBasso DX260 or the dongles of ONIX Alpha Xi or iBasso DC07Pro
SuperMix 4 just a little better (and I mean very little) with overall resolution and energy, EW300 however offer slightly better rendering of smooth organic and airy transients than SuperMix4
Hi sir , is the ew300 sounds mettalic, plasticky like other planar driver iems?Reason I'm asking, ew300 has micro planar driver.. so will it sound like regular planars or natural sound signature? I'm allergic to planar metallic sounds which is very unnatural for some kind of melody musics/songs.
@@AndyAudioVault thank you andy, I'm midbass loving person will ew300 satisfy greatly.. or do u hav any other in suggestions under 100usd which satisfy mid bass frequency. Hearing artti r1 is in race.
Very close, I would choose EW300 over B3 or Dusk all the time personally, I feel that EW300 offers better overall balance of sound compared to those two
@@AndyAudioVault comfort wise aswell,I dunno if my ears are gonna be able to handle these iems.only have the Redmi buds 4 and Sony ch710n.On that note how would the ew300 compare in terms of sound quality to wireless products? Lastly how dynamic is the ew300? Separation is good and all,but if your gonna sacrifice naturalness,bass,energy etc to get the separation,might aswell call it a studio iem.
Hi Andy, I have the EA500LM and like it alot, maybe slightly too bright or harsh in treble. Does the piezo in the 300 change the nature of the high end to be a little different or maybe less harsh? Thanks.
It means you are super sensitive to Treble, many find the Treble for EA500LM is just nice, for Treble sensitive folks, there's different IEMs that are tuned to suit them, perhaps you should consider AFUL Explorer instead or LETSHUOER S08. EW300 however can be tuned to dampen the upper frequencies by using the 2nd nozzle and then you can also add the included foams inserted into the nozzle to dampen them more
May is a bit more colored and also being Harman-ish flavored, meaning May is more focused on Subbass and offer less prominent Midbass, EW300 is more transparent, closer to neutral and better with Midbass, it is also a little more resolving with imaging
Looking for something less bright to sidegrade my s12 pro with more of a DD Bass emphasis and natural balanced sound, would you recommend this or should I stick to DD/BA driver iem, any recommendations ~$100-$150?
I think based on your description, more of a DD Bass, then it seems the TINHiFi P1 MAX2 Panda will suit you better, you can check my review on it, the price also suits your budget
Hey, Andy, what sound difference do you think the two different nozzle that came with the simgot ew300 provided? Also are there really no sound difference between the dps version and the standard version beside the mic and c type compatibility?
As noted in this review, the DSP version will always sound consistent no matter where you plug it. However, the normal 3.5mm version can offer different flavors based on where you connect it to, so potentially it can sound even better if you connect it to high quality sources and in my case I use iBasso DX260, DC07Pro, ONIX Alpha XI and VE ODO, all of which provide improved sound output versus the stock EW300 integrated dongle
Different is more like it. It is not always about which one is the best. T10 being a planar will have that airy transient speed and EW300 being a hybrid will have characteristics of a properly tuned triple hybrid which is more dimensional imaging with slightly better vertical depth. Boils down to preferences which one you will like more
Thanks. The planars of MP145 especially is superior in many ways. But EW300 is very very closely matching S12 except for outright transient speed (S12 is brighter)
Brother andy do you think it is upgrading to 500 LM? , i tuned 500LM, it doesn’t have shouty have more mid-bass with excellent mids and natural high with same level of technical performance but improved layers and separation because of no more parsing trouble and upper mids.. become natural sounding.. does it beat this sound coming from my LM?
I did mention in this video that EW300 scales up to EA500LM, so it means both of them are competing to each other on equal terms. Some differences here and there and what it does slightly better is the holographic staging for being a triple hybrid IEM, also it has slightly "warmer" Mids as how I described it in this video, of which EA500LM is not as warm sounding with female vocals
and hopefully good for music as well, i mostly listen to C-Pop, J-pop, Pop(avril lavigne, green day, etc) and also avenged sevenfold. i really like musics with piano
No it is not the same, they are both tiny yes, but ODO is way cheaper at $5 and offering the sort of performance to be expected of dongles in $50-70 price range
EM6L is bassier and more colored, SuperMix4 is more energetic and a little more resolving. EW300 is closer to natural and neutral sound with a little smoother/warmer transients than both of those
EW300 is designed to supersede EW200, not EA500LM, because as noted in this video, EA500LM and EW300 is competing on equal footing one to one, with so small differences that to me it does not make sense to get another variant of EA500LM level of quality. But it makes perfect sense if you are moving from EW200
Both equally good, you just need to understand which sound tuning you like more. May is Moondrop VDSF sound curve so it favors Subbass and EW300 is tuned a bit flatter overall compared to May
throwing the IEM violently at the camera is no use. We can't see anything. Just hold them up stationary, momentarily. Like you did near the end. You are welcome :) Looking forward to hearing this set.
MP145 is superior in every way compared to EW300. MP145 util today is a unique breakaway planar IEM that offers illegally good sound for a fraction of the price asked
Man.. at the mention of Simgot, the combo of dynamic and planar drivers (+piezo) you got my interest piqued. Diana Krall, warm and sweet sounding vocal.. Sold! Thanks Andy, appreciate your reviews and your excellent salesmanship 😂

@@AndyAudioVault Coming from tangzu wan'er, is EW300 a better upgrade? I'm quite new to IEMs...
Hi Andy, I have the EA500LM and like it alot, maybe slightly too bright or harsh in treble. Does the piezo in the 300 change the nature of the high end to be a little different or maybe less harsh? Thanks.
It means you are super sensitive to Treble, many find the Treble for EA500LM is just nice, for Treble sensitive folks, there's different IEMs that are tuned to suit them, perhaps you should consider AFUL Explorer instead or LETSHUOER S08. EW300 however can be tuned to dampen the upper frequencies by using the 2nd nozzle and then you can also add the included foams inserted into the nozzle to dampen them more
Recommended iems for extreme Metal genres?
Absolutely
How do you think it compares to Moondrop May, it same price?
May is a bit more colored and also being Harman-ish flavored, meaning May is more focused on Subbass and offer less prominent Midbass, EW300 is more transparent, closer to neutral and better with Midbass, it is also a little more resolving with imaging
which one better for energic music? etc metal. 7hz sonus, simgot ew300 or tanchjim 4u? thanks!
My pick between the three would be 4U
@donglemadness thank you! appreciate it
My daily iem is 7hz sonus with moondrop free dsp but it's got stolen, i really like the clarity in sonus, should i buy ew300 dsp for my new daily iem?
Yes absolutely
Looking for something less bright to sidegrade my s12 pro with more of a DD Bass emphasis and natural balanced sound, would you recommend this or should I stick to DD/BA driver iem, any recommendations ~$100-$150?
I think based on your description, more of a DD Bass, then it seems the TINHiFi P1 MAX2 Panda will suit you better, you can check my review on it, the price also suits your budget
Hey, Andy, what sound difference do you think the two different nozzle that came with the simgot ew300 provided?
Also are there really no sound difference between the dps version and the standard version beside the mic and c type compatibility?
DSP has a chip, and there will be a difference if it is slightly tuned.
As noted in this review, the DSP version will always sound consistent no matter where you plug it. However, the normal 3.5mm version can offer different flavors based on where you connect it to, so potentially it can sound even better if you connect it to high quality sources and in my case I use iBasso DX260, DC07Pro, ONIX Alpha XI and VE ODO, all of which provide improved sound output versus the stock EW300 integrated dongle
@@AndyAudioVaultOne more question: How do you think it compares against the simgot supermix 4 for gaming?
Andy, forgot to ask you: Do you think these ew300 are on pair with the Artti T10`s? Or one of them is the best overall?
Different is more like it. It is not always about which one is the best. T10 being a planar will have that airy transient speed and EW300 being a hybrid will have characteristics of a properly tuned triple hybrid which is more dimensional imaging with slightly better vertical depth. Boils down to preferences which one you will like more
@@AndyAudioVault thank you!
Great review as always , I'm curious to know if the technicalities are on the same level as pure planars like S12 and MP143 ?
Thanks. The planars of MP145 especially is superior in many ways. But EW300 is very very closely matching S12 except for outright transient speed (S12 is brighter)
Brother andy do you think it is upgrading to 500 LM? , i tuned 500LM, it doesn’t have shouty have more mid-bass with excellent mids and natural high with same level of technical performance but improved layers and separation because of no more parsing trouble and upper mids.. become natural sounding.. does it beat this sound coming from my LM?
I did mention in this video that EW300 scales up to EA500LM, so it means both of them are competing to each other on equal terms. Some differences here and there and what it does slightly better is the holographic staging for being a triple hybrid IEM, also it has slightly "warmer" Mids as how I described it in this video, of which EA500LM is not as warm sounding with female vocals
is it worth it to buy simgot ew200? or ew300? coming from tangzu waner
Go straight to EW300
for gaming which one would you pick? ew300 or cca hydro. because the price between the one is kind of close in my country, around 30 usd
and hopefully good for music as well, i mostly listen to C-Pop, J-pop, Pop(avril lavigne, green day, etc) and also avenged sevenfold. i really like musics with piano
EW300 bit more suited for gaming but really both are good at it already
@@AndyAudioVault for 100 usd, is ew300 your recommendation for both gaming and music?
Moondrop May or simgot ew300
Which one should I choose?
EW300
Thanks@@AndyAudioVault
Hi Andy, EW300, EW300 DSP, or the Oriveti OD200?
EW300 and EW300 DSP is the same thing, I never tried OD200 so I have no idea on that one
Isn't ve Odo and Fiio ja11 the same? Can I expect the same output?
No it is not the same, they are both tiny yes, but ODO is way cheaper at $5 and offering the sort of performance to be expected of dongles in $50-70 price range
@@AndyAudioVault That's great to know. Gonna get one soon. Thanks
vs EM6L and SuperMix4 ?
EM6L is bassier and more colored, SuperMix4 is more energetic and a little more resolving. EW300 is closer to natural and neutral sound with a little smoother/warmer transients than both of those
If I have 500 Lm is it worth to buy the Ew300?
EW300 is designed to supersede EW200, not EA500LM, because as noted in this video, EA500LM and EW300 is competing on equal footing one to one, with so small differences that to me it does not make sense to get another variant of EA500LM level of quality. But it makes perfect sense if you are moving from EW200
This or Moondrop May???
Both equally good, you just need to understand which sound tuning you like more. May is Moondrop VDSF sound curve so it favors Subbass and EW300 is tuned a bit flatter overall compared to May
I don't like ew200 because vocals are always in my face and if I turn down the volume I can't hear the music well.
Eh how come got 3 versions at linsoul links. Another HBB edition.
LOL, there's a third version indeed
it can complement the weakness of my truthear Hexa?
Yes it can
9:29 Sometimes your edits give me jumpscares. That was really loud andy
Apologies for that. I take note of this and will be mindful of clip edit volume levels. Thanks!
Crappy faceplate deco though.
I like that faceplate though. Gives 8 bit vibes. Not for older people though.
throwing the IEM violently at the camera is no use. We can't see anything. Just hold them up stationary, momentarily. Like you did near the end. You are welcome :) Looking forward to hearing this set.
Hi Andy. I owned a MP145, can EW300 compare to MP145 ? how is the sound difference?
MP145 is superior in every way compared to EW300. MP145 util today is a unique breakaway planar IEM that offers illegally good sound for a fraction of the price asked
@@AndyAudioVault thanks gentleman.
Does it consume heavily on power. How is it compare to titan s2.
The DSP is very efficient with power draw. On a very personal level, I like Titan S2 a lot more (personal preference)
