I can’t find the comment anymore. But somebody asked if the nozzles on the EA500 and the EW300 were interchangeable. I went to go check and here is what I found: The EA500LM nozzles will thread into the EW300 easily, but the nozzles are slightly loose. The EW300 nozzles will start to thread into the EA500LM, but then won’t go past the first turn or so. This tells me that either the thread geometry is different or the nozzles are slightly different sizes. Either way, I’m going to pin this comment in case the person who asked the question comes back. I thought it was a great question. :)
Thank you for doing a real comparison between iems by actually listening to them and not just by memory as several other reviewers out there do. This is a big deal for us.

Great review! So far you're the only reviewer that confirmed what I was hearing differently with the treble on the EW300. I'm no audio connoisseur and can't really put it into words and everything you said really resonated with me. All I know is that it's different in a good way from previous IEMS I own (Truthear Hexa, Simgot EW200, Kiwi Ears Forteza). Looking forward to your reviews. +1 sub from me
Thank you for the comment and the sub! Welcome! Happy you enjoyed the review. I agree with you that the extra drivers give the 300 a little extra something over the 200. Enjoy your EW300s!
I bought the ew300 dsp, I prefer the ew300 without the dsp cable with the gold nozzles. Just me and my treble sensitive ears. Excellent review my friend. Cheers..!
thinking about starting to do my own iem reviews and inspires me to think outside the box in track testing beyond my immediate go to tastes. you really give such a wide and plentiful variety of examples, in a way that i don't even need to know those tracks. like you explain the detail you pick out of that song and it gives me the vibe that you are particular, detail oriented, and trustworthy. mega kudos
You should do it! Have fun with it! The more voices and opinions we have in the hobby, the more information consumers have to make purchasing decisions. I made the transition from IEM collector to reviewer and I’m having a great time learning how to make videos. My review format is a combination of different things I liked about some of my favorite reviewers, with some stuff I felt was important added in (tiny ears test etc.). It sounds cliche, but make the kind of reviews you would want to watch. :) Thanks for the comment and the support. My music library is full of different kinds of music and I’m adding songs to it all the time. My testing songs are songs I’ve heard a LOT and know what to listen for, but I do add songs to the list periodically.
I have been thinking about a pair of these, but know I don't need them, even on sale ( the Linsoul fall sale starts on 10-8, and 11-11 is fairly close ). I like that they are easy to identify left from right. I very much agree that Simgot whiffed on the launch, and they are all so close. The EW300 graphs very much like the BLON Z300, and I hadn't considered it being a Moondrop May ( which I own, but have just left it on the DSP, even if the sucks ). I was surprised they didn't have a Simgot DSP app. We tend to agree on rankings, the Explorer and S08 are my favorite under $200 sets of the last year or so. I know it isn't a new model, but if you get a chance you would likely enjoy the Artti R1, it is a warm 3DD set that had very satisfying bass to my ears.
The R1 is on my 11/11 sale list to pick up, I reviewed the Night Elf expecting it to be like a Mini R1, but the tuning wasn’t my thing. Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the support!
I love the standard EA500, and even the EW200. I've been looking at picking up another pair to carry daily as the EA500's live at my desk. I actually like and don't mind the brighter treble. Would the EW300 be a good set to pick up for daily use, or would I be better getting the EA500LM considering I like the treble? (Whichever I preferred between 500 and 500LM would live on my desk if I did go that route)
@@keiz_ The silver nozzle version of the EW300 would get close, but wouldn’t match the treble energy the 500LM can provide, even with the calmer gold nozzles on the LM. It’s also a bit bassier which can take away from the treble a bit. I have no experience with the normal 500, but I’d say if you like the 500, see if you can find the LM on sale. :)
I'm still impatiently waiting on my EW300 HBB edition... Fantastic review! I do agree that Simgot really dropped the ball on this release having 3 different sets. They should've staggered them or something. Either way, cheers, Amigo!
@@jamesberryman9893 I would have been ok with them releasing all three at once if they had been clear and upfront about the tuning differences, however minor. If KZ can show us all their switch positions on a graph, you can show us the differences between your 3 sets.
Hi Audio Amigo, thanks for reviewing this new EW300. If you don't mind, do you know if the sound quality of the silver/standard ew300 will improved or reduced 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 it will just result to inferior sound quality after pairing it with the apple dongle. Also, I was also considering the Sennheiser IE200. Do you think the IE200 will be a better choice for me as my first and only (because I don't want to have multiple IEMs for different musical genres) IEM than the EW300 for casual music listening and watching movies? Thank you!
The EW300 is very easy to drive. It doesn’t require a lot of power. The Apple USB C adapter does a great job with it. The Lightning adapter has less power, but I think it should be fine overall, Simgot makes their IEMs easy to drive. I don’t own an IE200, so I have no experience with it. But if you only want to own 1 IEM then I think the EW300 is a better choice as long as you’re comfortable swapping the nozzles (just screw and unscrew) the fact that the EW300 has 2 different nozzles means you can try out 2 different sounds and keep the one you like more. Hope this helps! I’ll try and get an IE200 in.
@@AudioAmigoReviews Appreciated your reply 😄 "The Lightning adapter has less power...." - Wow. So that's the reason why when I pair the lightning adaptor with my extra 3.5mm headphones, which is included from my old android phone, the volume seems low compared to using it in pc/laptop. For comparison, I find myself setting the volume of this headphones on pc/laptop at only 10-15%, while the volume when using it on iphone with lightning adaptor needs to be at least 70%. Thanks for the insight. I thought its the same with the apple usb-c adaptor that a lot of people recommends as cheap dac for pc/laptop use. No problem. I only asked regarding the IE200, because it seems to be recommended by a lot of people for IEM beginners hahaha Thanks again for the reply, and have a nice day! :)
Yo, really like the way you review iems, its very in depth. I watched your chu 2 review as i own a pair of those, and ive been looking at these ew300s as a upgrade. Im not really sure what "sound" i like as i mostly came from gaming headsets. Once i tried the moondrop chu 2 i geniunely liked it way better than my epos h6 pro (300$ headset) and use it over the h6 pro. As for sound, i like the moondrop chu 2s, they are pretty much perfect for me. I want a little more bass tho. I also have a pair of cheap ass qkz ak6 pros which are way to bass heavy and sound way too warm. the h6 pros i hated the sound of and they sounded super cheap. What iems around the price of the ew300 would you reccomend with the same-ish tuning? im also looking for a wide soundstage too because i game. Or would you just reccomend the ew300s to me. Thanks!
The EW300 with the silver nozzles is actually tuned pretty similar to the Chu:2, just a little less energy to the vocals and a smidge more bass. The Moondrop May is near identical to the Chu:2, but it's USB C only. But if you are willing to steal the cable from your Chu:2, it sounds great with the Chu:2 cable. If you want more bass from these 2, you have 2 choices, swap to the gold nozzle on the EW300, or go into the moondrop app, and load the Bass or Harman profile onto the May's USB C Cable. Either one is a great choice. I would go EW300 since the customizable tuning on the May means you HAVE to use the USB C Cable. But if your gaming rig has USB C ports, I would consider it, just remember you'll need an android phone with the moondrop app to tweak the sound.
The dsp bass sounds meatier than the bass on a 4.4mm cable. Dsp does sound better to my ears, but not vastly different. It seems the technicality is drawn out more with the dsp cable.
It depends on your budget. If you like the Delci’s tuning, then the EW300 isn’t really worth the upgrade, I’d want to take a bigger step depending on your budget. If you want that same warm, bassy sound that the Delci has, and your budget allows it, grab either the Letshuoer S08 or the Aful Explorer. It’s more money, but you’ll feel the upgrade more.
The Xuan Nv is probably my favorite neutral sounding set in this price range. It’s a little warmer and less clinical sounding than the Hexa. With the Silver Nozzle, the EW300 has better vocals than the Xuan Nv With the Gold Nozzle, the Xuan Nv has better vocals. Detail/Resolution is pretty similar with the gold nozzles. But with the silver nozzles, the EW300 has more detail at the upper end of the frequency range. With both nozzles however, I feel like the XuanNv has a more detailed midrange. It’s easier to separate instruments and the vocals aren’t “warmed up” like on the EW300. Overall, the tunings are different. The Gold Nozzle is the closest in sound to the Xuan Nv. But it’s warmer. More midbass and less energy in the mids. The silver nozzle is a straight up V-shape with more treble energy and more bass. They’re both excellent sets. But if vocals is what matters the most do you, go with the EW300 and use the silver nozzle
It depends on your preference. All three are tuned differently. I'm personally not a huge fan of Harman Tuned IEMs, but the SM4 is a fantastic set. It's got similar treble tonality and detail to the S12 but is more vocal forward and a tiny bit brighter sounding. The S12 has richer bass and more natural sounding mids than the Supermix 4. It's also got slightly spicy treble like the SM4. The EW300 (Silver Nozzles) is the bassiest and warmest of the three. It's got less treble energy than the other two, but still has good detail resolution. The SM4 and the S12 have similar detail and resolution, both better than the EW300. The EW300 and SM4 both have that slightly metallic PZT Timbre in the treble The S12 has a medium/high amount of "Planar Treble" that can come across a little unnatural to some people. I personally would take the S12, but I have a preference for planar drivers, some folks also say it's too bright. The SM4 is great, and does everything well, but some folks ALSO say it's too bright. The EW300 is a transformer. It can go from V-Shaped to Warm with the swap of a nozzle, but it's behind the other two in terms of detail and resolving power.
@AudioAmigoReviews thanks for your suggestion. I am extremely new to IEMs (these would be my first pair)....and was going to order one with best price-performance ratio. I got extremely confused on different driver configuration BA, DD , PLZ, PLANER😂.....everything hyped (first time saw a 16 drivers setup....totally shocked😮) Anyway thanks for your answer. As a newbie to the world of IEMs would going with ew300DSP good or bad decision? I love to hear vocals music (not to bass heavy music) with occasional mobile gaming. Also FYI, i dont own a external DSP.
@@samK1XT the EW300 would be a great choice for your first IEM as long as you are comfortable with changing the nozzles (just screw and unscrew) I would try out the silver nozzles first. If you like them. Keep it that way. If you think it’s too bright or fatiguing, swap to the gold nozzles.
@@kitazawa8486If you know you want the warmer more relaxing sound, you can probably stick with the Delci if you’re unsure. What makes the EW300 special is that by changing nozzles, you get a whole different type of tuning. So you sorta get 2 IEMs in one. (As long as you’re willing to change the nozzle) But if you know you don’t want that extra tuning, then you should be perfectly happy with the Delci.
It depends on what device you use to listen. If you primarily use a phone or another device with USB-C and no headphone jack, grab the May. If you have a nice dongle or a DAP or something with a headphone jack, I would grab the EW300. They sound essentially identical in terms of detail. They use a very similar driver combo. The Simgot has that PZT for a little extra something in the treble, but it can come off sounding a little metallic. For pure J-pop listening, the reduced bass and slightly more forward vocals on the May might be better for some artists, but you’ll have to use/buy a 3.5mm cable to use it with things that don’t have USB C
HBB said in his video regardin these iem that the dsp version is better then his version... so in the future i plan to buy the dsp version and also another decent cable with jack
@@b4g4b3l The sound he prefers is with the DSP Cable. With a normal 3.5mm the DSP version sounds identical to this one. I plan on buying the DSP version if they ever release an App that lets you tweak the EQ.
@@AudioAmigoReviews wouldent any equilizer from playstore work with this dsp ? And from my understanding hbb said he recommends the dsp for use as is out of the box, most of us dont even know what to do with an equalizer...
@@b4g4b3l Yes, you’re 100% right. You can use any EQ app with any IEM. My interest is more in how the app is executed. Moondrop and Tanchjim have Apps that let you tweak their DSP IEMs. Neither is great, but the Tanchjim one is a bit more user friendly for EQ. And yes HBB does prefer the tuning on the DSP Version out of the box. I think if what you want is different tunings. The DSP one is the best choice because you essentially get 4 tunings: The DSP with Good Nozzle, DSP with silver nozzle, 3.5mm/HBB tuning with silver nozzle, and 3.5mm/HBB tuning with gold nozzle. You get 4 flavors instead of 2
@@AudioAmigoReviews great, now lets wait for a big discount on 11/11 :))) just ordered my first iem tangzu waner jade to see if i can handle inears for a long perion, then i'll order ew300 dsp
@@Neg-h8k it depends on your budget and what you want. This is a good upgrade over the Wan’Er, but you might feel the upgrade more if you went a bit higher in the price range. I almost always recommend waiting if you’re unsure. Because in the current Chi-fi market, the movement is so fast that something better for you might come along. If you’re for sure you want to upgrade now. The EW300 is a great option. If you’re not sure and on the fence. Wait and save money.
Yes. As long as your mobile phone has a 3.5mm jack, these are perfectly drivable. As for the standard vs HBB… I honestly don’t know what the tuning differences are. Because of that, I can only recommend the HBB because it’s the only one I have experience with.
@@AudioAmigoReviews sir...i tried to buy many..is this better in this price range...hbbew300 is $87(₹7300inr)... Simgot ea500lm and truthear hexa are around 78 dollar on offer...which do u prefer..
I thought going with trutheahexa for resolution...but then i realised about the bass...i watch movies..musics are like new born musics..which has bass in between...is this ew300 worth....does this has soundstage,and resolution than the others..how do u explain the comparison
@@Car-Guygamer the 500LM is quite bright. If you’re sensitive to treble I don’t recommend it at all. But if you can take the extra treble energy, it’s better than the 300HBB The Hexa is very neutral and very detailed. It’s completely different from the 300HBB. Less bass, different treble. They’re all great just in different ways. If I was you I would grab the 300 because you get the two nozzles that give you 2 distinct sound signatures. It’s also a safer choice than the 500LM
In my opinion, yes. It's a clear step up in overall quality and resolution. Plus you get a 2nd nozzle that unlocks a different sound. Like a 2-in-1. Only reason I can think of to not upgrade from the EW200 is if you're sensitive to the slightly metallic nature of the Piezo Driver
@@lancergt1000 I cover this in the video, but my old Sony Xperia XCompact drove them just fine. Most Simgot sets have high sensitivity and low impedance. Making them very easy to drive.
I just posted a video that talks about the differences between all three: ruclips.net/video/yuKVVY1DDRM/видео.htmlsi=vL0vBwP1ro5uZ25t The quick version is: They're mostly the same with a regular 3.5mm analog cable, but with the USB C Cable, the tuning is different.
@@mkiajaja8380 I don’t like quantifying things. But let me give you an actual example. At the end of the final movement of Pines of Rome, there is a moment when all the instruments are going all at once. In the version I listen to by Berlin Philharmonic, there is a triangle player that is going to town, but because everybody else is playing. You can barely make him out in the mix. On the Nova, I don’t really have to focus or think about it to hear him. On the EW300, to hear him, I need to focus a little bit on what I’m hearing. He’s still there, just not as prominent. In terms of soundstage. I would personally rate them about the same. No extra width or depth in live jazz tracks. I hope that helps.
@@smolbiggie In terms of overall resolving ability? Probably the Truthear Hexa. The nova has a bit more bass and a bit more treble. But the Hexas driver setup is very similar to the Nova.
@@Eden-qc8if Pretty sure. I own them both and have reviewed them both. The build quality alone on the EW300 is an upgrade, so is the cable and the accessories. The sound won't be as vocal focused, but it'll have better detail retrieval and the treble will be slightly cleaner.
Not as much as other Simgot sets. The Mids are still slightly recessed. But they’re more forward than the EW200 or EA500LM. The Gold Nozzle helps a lot with this.
I have the SM4. The SM4 has better details and resolution. The Gold Nozzle EW300 is a completely different tuning, but the Silver Nozzle EW300 has similar energy in the upper mids and treble. The EW300 (silver nozzle) has a warmer, richer, more full bodied lower end compared to the SuperMix4. The Supermix 4 has a similar “problem” with the metallic timbre that the EW300 has. But I don’t think the EW300 is close to the SM4 in terms of overall sound quality. If you prefer the tuning on the EW300 but want better detail and overall quality, grab the EM6L. If you want the best example of the “Simgot Sound” under $200. Grab the SM4. If you can’t afford the EM6L. The EW300 is the way to go. And if you can’t afford the SM4, look into the EA500LM.
@@AudioAmigoReviews I actually have the EM6L and SM4, was wondering if I should grab those, it's mainly for gaming and the details of the SM4 is better than EM6L, so I might just stick with SM4. Thanks mate 🙏🏻
@@Frank_P83 yeah, I don’t see much of a need to get the EW300 if you already have the SM4 and the EM6L. Maybe save up for the Ziigaat Arete. I don’t know much about gaming. But an IEM tuned by a pro gamer especially for gaming sounds like a good buy.
@@AudioAmigoReviews yeah I thought about it but at 350$ CAD it's a bit too expensive for me, always looking for the budget King which SM4 are so far and got them for 169$ CAD
Oh no! I’m too small to get stuff sent. I bought these with my own money. I use the box in all my reviews to show off the tips. It makes for a better visual than just showing the plastic bag. They’re 2 for $9 on Amazon.
@@AbadyAngel With the gold nozzles, you can kinda think of the EW300 as a MUCH bassier Hexa, but I personally feel like the Hexa is more resolving, and you don’t get that metallic PZT sound in the top end. With the Silver nozzles it’s very different from the hexa. More bass, more treble energy. Recessed mids. I really like the Hexa and the EW300, but they’re going for different things, so I can’t really say which one is “better”
Disclaimer: i still don't understand listening to 'this'. FURTHER testing is needed. i've got EW300 'XOXO' DSP around last week (Monday - August 26). i listened to it extensively last weekend. ONE thing i noticed right of the bat, it somewhat 'FAIL' my HUGE EAR TEST. .. i mean it is difficult for me to get proper seal, it feels i can't insert it in my ear canal deep enough. .. no such issue with EW200 'Maze' despite both of them appears to be physically the same. For now i would say, there is/are something about the sound that appeals to me but at the same time turns me off (for both tuning nozzles). .. i am not able to pinpoint the issue though. .. to an extent i probably prefer KZ PR1 Pro over EW300. (i did drop a comment about PR1 Pro in your PR2 review) Anyway i can confirm EW200 'Maze' is A LOT brighter than EW300 'XOXO' on both tuning nozzles. Right now EW200 'Maze' which i deem still my most favorite IEM (after trying the 'XOXO') is just 1/3rd of the selling price of EW300 DSP. On my side, this is a tough sell however i will not deny it provides probably the best value for money in terms of tuning variations. IMO, EW300 'XOXO' is probably an easy sell to those who don't really have a lot of IEMs in their collection. And i do agree about those launch package that consist of THREE variants is a messed up planning. Personally "DSP" variant should have been named "xHBB". i would rather to have SIMGOT to just include the DSP cable in both EW300 and EW300 xHBB (of course include the normal cable as well). Then sell both at the same price or increase the price for the COLLAB variant a bit.
Thanks as always for commenting about your experience!! It helps folks coming to the videos get more information. I agree with you on the EW300 being a better value for people with fewer sets in their collection. I personally don’t think I’ll get much use out of the EW300 because if I want the gold nozzle tuning. I’ll grab something warmer like the S08 or the Explorer. And if I want something that sounds like the silver nozzle, I’ll just grab the EM6L Phoenix.
@@faisalfirdausiinn4708 I hope when you get one you enjoy it. I really believe it’s something special. It and the Explorer are two sets that I honestly truly believe anybody can like. Even if it isn’t their favorite, it does something that works. And for a library as eclectic and random as mine, it’s great.
I’ve got the dsp version, dang it’s way better than I thought lol. I might prefer it to sm4 ever so slightly, but the difference is so small like ew200 vs ea500.
I prefer them to the SM4 as well. But Harman Tuning isn’t my thing. I appreciate it, and I know why folks love it. It just isn’t my thing. My personal favorite Simgot Sets are the EW300 with the gold nozzle and the EM6L

I love the standard EA500, and even the EW200. I've been looking at picking up another pair to carry daily as the EA500's live at my desk. I actually like and don't mind the brighter treble. Would the EW300 be a good set to pick up for daily use, or would I be better getting the EA500LM considering I like the treble? (Whichever I preferred between 500 and 500LM would live on my desk if I did go that route)
@@keiz_ The silver nozzle version of the EW300 would get close, but wouldn’t match the treble energy the 500LM can provide, even with the calmer gold nozzles on the LM. It’s also a bit bassier which can take away from the treble a bit.
I have no experience with the normal 500, but I’d say if you like the 500, see if you can find the LM on sale. :)
I'm still impatiently waiting on my EW300 HBB edition... Fantastic review! I do agree that Simgot really dropped the ball on this release having 3 different sets. They should've staggered them or something. Either way, cheers, Amigo!
@@jamesberryman9893 I would have been ok with them releasing all three at once if they had been clear and upfront about the tuning differences, however minor. If KZ can show us all their switch positions on a graph, you can show us the differences between your 3 sets.

SIMGOT EW300 HBB edition and Sennheiser IE 300 which is the best for stage Live performance as IEM for a singer.I am waiting for your response.
i just noticed this..
If you take a look at the 'Product Name' behind the packaging..
it said "Love&X" as the codename for EW300.
Excellent review
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Audio Amigo, thanks for reviewing this new EW300. If you don't mind, do you know if the sound quality of the silver/standard ew300 will improved or reduced 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 it will just result to inferior sound quality after pairing it with the apple dongle.
Also, I was also considering the Sennheiser IE200. Do you think the IE200 will be a better choice for me as my first and only (because I don't want to have multiple IEMs for different musical genres) IEM than the EW300 for casual music listening and watching movies? Thank you!
The EW300 is very easy to drive. It doesn’t require a lot of power. The Apple USB C adapter does a great job with it. The Lightning adapter has less power, but I think it should be fine overall, Simgot makes their IEMs easy to drive.
I don’t own an IE200, so I have no experience with it. But if you only want to own 1 IEM then I think the EW300 is a better choice as long as you’re comfortable swapping the nozzles (just screw and unscrew) the fact that the EW300 has 2 different nozzles means you can try out 2 different sounds and keep the one you like more.
Hope this helps!
I’ll try and get an IE200 in.
@@AudioAmigoReviews Appreciated your reply 😄
"The Lightning adapter has less power...." - Wow. So that's the reason why when I pair the lightning adaptor with my extra 3.5mm headphones, which is included from my old android phone, the volume seems low compared to using it in pc/laptop. For comparison, I find myself setting the volume of this headphones on pc/laptop at only 10-15%, while the volume when using it on iphone with lightning adaptor needs to be at least 70%. Thanks for the insight. I thought its the same with the apple usb-c adaptor that a lot of people recommends as cheap dac for pc/laptop use.
No problem. I only asked regarding the IE200, because it seems to be recommended by a lot of people for IEM beginners hahaha
Thanks again for the reply, and have a nice day! :)
@@johnpaulguevarra6916 IE200 require a (simple) mod in order to make it sound great.
Gizaudio did cover this.
Yo, really like the way you review iems, its very in depth. I watched your chu 2 review as i own a pair of those, and ive been looking at these ew300s as a upgrade. Im not really sure what "sound" i like as i mostly came from gaming headsets. Once i tried the moondrop chu 2 i geniunely liked it way better than my epos h6 pro (300$ headset) and use it over the h6 pro. As for sound, i like the moondrop chu 2s, they are pretty much perfect for me. I want a little more bass tho. I also have a pair of cheap ass qkz ak6 pros which are way to bass heavy and sound way too warm. the h6 pros i hated the sound of and they sounded super cheap. What iems around the price of the ew300 would you reccomend with the same-ish tuning? im also looking for a wide soundstage too because i game. Or would you just reccomend the ew300s to me. Thanks!
The EW300 with the silver nozzles is actually tuned pretty similar to the Chu:2, just a little less energy to the vocals and a smidge more bass. The Moondrop May is near identical to the Chu:2, but it's USB C only. But if you are willing to steal the cable from your Chu:2, it sounds great with the Chu:2 cable.
If you want more bass from these 2, you have 2 choices, swap to the gold nozzle on the EW300, or go into the moondrop app, and load the Bass or Harman profile onto the May's USB C Cable.
Either one is a great choice. I would go EW300 since the customizable tuning on the May means you HAVE to use the USB C Cable. But if your gaming rig has USB C ports, I would consider it, just remember you'll need an android phone with the moondrop app to tweak the sound.
The dsp bass sounds meatier than the bass on a 4.4mm cable. Dsp does sound better to my ears, but not vastly different. It seems the technicality is drawn out more with the dsp cable.
I have delci and I love it do you think EW300 is good upgrade to delci ? or give me what you think is good upgrade to delci thank you
It depends on your budget.
If you like the Delci’s tuning, then the EW300 isn’t really worth the upgrade, I’d want to take a bigger step depending on your budget.
If you want that same warm, bassy sound that the Delci has, and your budget allows it, grab either the Letshuoer S08 or the Aful Explorer. It’s more money, but you’ll feel the upgrade more.
@@AudioAmigoReviews thank you very much S08 get in my mind for long time but now I'm very excited abut it
Have you tried the tangzu xuan nv,which do you think does female vocals better xuan nv or the ew300,im also concerned about the resolution
The Xuan Nv is probably my favorite neutral sounding set in this price range. It’s a little warmer and less clinical sounding than the Hexa.
With the Silver Nozzle, the EW300 has better vocals than the Xuan Nv
With the Gold Nozzle, the Xuan Nv has better vocals.
Detail/Resolution is pretty similar with the gold nozzles. But with the silver nozzles, the EW300 has more detail at the upper end of the frequency range.
With both nozzles however, I feel like the XuanNv has a more detailed midrange. It’s easier to separate instruments and the vocals aren’t “warmed up” like on the EW300.
Overall, the tunings are different. The Gold Nozzle is the closest in sound to the Xuan Nv. But it’s warmer. More midbass and less energy in the mids.
The silver nozzle is a straight up V-shape with more treble energy and more bass.
They’re both excellent sets. But if vocals is what matters the most do you, go with the EW300 and use the silver nozzle
Ew300 dsp vs supermix 4 vs Letshuoer S12 ? Love to hear your recommendations, on which one would have bst sound quality for the price
It depends on your preference. All three are tuned differently. I'm personally not a huge fan of Harman Tuned IEMs, but the SM4 is a fantastic set. It's got similar treble tonality and detail to the S12 but is more vocal forward and a tiny bit brighter sounding.
The S12 has richer bass and more natural sounding mids than the Supermix 4. It's also got slightly spicy treble like the SM4.
The EW300 (Silver Nozzles) is the bassiest and warmest of the three. It's got less treble energy than the other two, but still has good detail resolution.
The SM4 and the S12 have similar detail and resolution, both better than the EW300.
The EW300 and SM4 both have that slightly metallic PZT Timbre in the treble
The S12 has a medium/high amount of "Planar Treble" that can come across a little unnatural to some people.
I personally would take the S12, but I have a preference for planar drivers, some folks also say it's too bright. The SM4 is great, and does everything well, but some folks ALSO say it's too bright. The EW300 is a transformer. It can go from V-Shaped to Warm with the swap of a nozzle, but it's behind the other two in terms of detail and resolving power.
@AudioAmigoReviews thanks for your suggestion. I am extremely new to IEMs (these would be my first pair)....and was going to order one with best price-performance ratio. I got extremely confused on different driver configuration BA, DD , PLZ, PLANER😂.....everything hyped (first time saw a 16 drivers setup....totally shocked😮)
Anyway thanks for your answer.
As a newbie to the world of IEMs would going with ew300DSP good or bad decision?
I love to hear vocals music (not to bass heavy music) with occasional mobile gaming. Also FYI, i dont own a external DSP.
@@samK1XT the EW300 would be a great choice for your first IEM as long as you are comfortable with changing the nozzles (just screw and unscrew) I would try out the silver nozzles first. If you like them. Keep it that way. If you think it’s too bright or fatiguing, swap to the gold nozzles.
@@AudioAmigoReviews Thankyou so much 😊
Hey man, I'm wondering if the $20 difference on kefine delci is worth it? I'm torn between these 2 choices rn...
@@kitazawa8486If you know you want the warmer more relaxing sound, you can probably stick with the Delci if you’re unsure.
What makes the EW300 special is that by changing nozzles, you get a whole different type of tuning. So you sorta get 2 IEMs in one. (As long as you’re willing to change the nozzle)
But if you know you don’t want that extra tuning, then you should be perfectly happy with the Delci.
@@AudioAmigoReviews Thanks!
What would you recommend for jpop this or moondrop may dsp,how does the resolution and tech of the may stack up
It depends on what device you use to listen.
If you primarily use a phone or another device with USB-C and no headphone jack, grab the May.
If you have a nice dongle or a DAP or something with a headphone jack, I would grab the EW300.
They sound essentially identical in terms of detail. They use a very similar driver combo. The Simgot has that PZT for a little extra something in the treble, but it can come off sounding a little metallic.
For pure J-pop listening, the reduced bass and slightly more forward vocals on the May might be better for some artists, but you’ll have to use/buy a 3.5mm cable to use it with things that don’t have USB C
@@AudioAmigoReviews I do have a spare 2 pin cable to use the may with if analog needed,so I should go with the may?
@@SkibidisigmaSjsj if you’re going to use it exclusively for J-Pop. I think it’s a slightly better choice than the EW300 with silver nozzles.
HBB said in his video regardin these iem that the dsp version is better then his version... so in the future i plan to buy the dsp version and also another decent cable with jack
@@b4g4b3l The sound he prefers is with the DSP Cable. With a normal 3.5mm the DSP version sounds identical to this one. I plan on buying the DSP version if they ever release an App that lets you tweak the EQ.
@@AudioAmigoReviews wouldent any equilizer from playstore work with this dsp ? And from my understanding hbb said he recommends the dsp for use as is out of the box, most of us dont even know what to do with an equalizer...
@@b4g4b3l Yes, you’re 100% right. You can use any EQ app with any IEM. My interest is more in how the app is executed. Moondrop and Tanchjim have Apps that let you tweak their DSP IEMs. Neither is great, but the Tanchjim one is a bit more user friendly for EQ. And yes HBB does prefer the tuning on the DSP Version out of the box. I think if what you want is different tunings. The DSP one is the best choice because you essentially get 4 tunings: The DSP with Good Nozzle, DSP with silver nozzle, 3.5mm/HBB tuning with silver nozzle, and 3.5mm/HBB tuning with gold nozzle.
You get 4 flavors instead of 2

Should i upgrade from waner or try going sub 200
@@Neg-h8k it depends on your budget and what you want. This is a good upgrade over the Wan’Er, but you might feel the upgrade more if you went a bit higher in the price range. I almost always recommend waiting if you’re unsure. Because in the current Chi-fi market, the movement is so fast that something better for you might come along.
If you’re for sure you want to upgrade now. The EW300 is a great option.
If you’re not sure and on the fence. Wait and save money.
Is it drivble on mobile without a dac...?.. standard version or hbb version.. which is great
Yes. As long as your mobile phone has a 3.5mm jack, these are perfectly drivable.
As for the standard vs HBB… I honestly don’t know what the tuning differences are. Because of that, I can only recommend the HBB because it’s the only one I have experience with.
@@AudioAmigoReviews sir...i tried to buy many..is this better in this price range...hbbew300 is $87(₹7300inr)...
Simgot ea500lm and truthear hexa are around 78 dollar on offer...which do u prefer..
I thought going with trutheahexa for resolution...but then i realised about the bass...i watch movies..musics are like new born musics..which has bass in between...is this ew300 worth....does this has soundstage,and resolution than the others..how do u explain the comparison
@@Car-Guygamer the 500LM is quite bright.
If you’re sensitive to treble I don’t recommend it at all. But if you can take the extra treble energy, it’s better than the 300HBB
The Hexa is very neutral and very detailed. It’s completely different from the 300HBB. Less bass, different treble.
They’re all great just in different ways.
If I was you I would grab the 300 because you get the two nozzles that give you 2 distinct sound signatures.
It’s also a safer choice than the 500LM
I'd call them the X3's 😮
Sold!! From now on these are the X3s!
so is the EW300 like one step higher from the EW200?
In my opinion, yes. It's a clear step up in overall quality and resolution. Plus you get a 2nd nozzle that unlocks a different sound. Like a 2-in-1. Only reason I can think of to not upgrade from the EW200 is if you're sensitive to the slightly metallic nature of the Piezo Driver
@@AudioAmigoReviews damn its literally double the price tho
also, im concerned whether phones can drive it properly
@@lancergt1000 I cover this in the video, but my old Sony Xperia XCompact drove them just fine. Most Simgot sets have high sensitivity and low impedance. Making them very easy to drive.
I'm glad its not Harman tuned.
Same. I understand why people like it, I get it. But it’s just not for me.
@@AudioAmigoReviews fair enough, there's a lot of popular IEMs that I don't like too haha.
What is difference between dsp and hbb
I just posted a video that talks about the differences between all three:
ruclips.net/video/yuKVVY1DDRM/видео.htmlsi=vL0vBwP1ro5uZ25t
The quick version is: They're mostly the same with a regular 3.5mm analog cable, but with the USB C Cable, the tuning is different.
How far below would you rate the ew300 tech in comparison to the nova,10 to 20% worse?
@@mkiajaja8380 I don’t like quantifying things. But let me give you an actual example.
At the end of the final movement of Pines of Rome, there is a moment when all the instruments are going all at once.
In the version I listen to by Berlin Philharmonic, there is a triangle player that is going to town, but because everybody else is playing. You can barely make him out in the mix.
On the Nova, I don’t really have to focus or think about it to hear him.
On the EW300, to hear him, I need to focus a little bit on what I’m hearing. He’s still there, just not as prominent.
In terms of soundstage. I would personally rate them about the same. No extra width or depth in live jazz tracks.
I hope that helps.
@@AudioAmigoReviews oh I understand thank you so much I think imma just get the nova
@@AudioAmigoReviews hi i wanted to ask with the same concept, what is close to the nova with almost the price bracket of the ew300?
@@smolbiggie In terms of overall resolving ability?
Probably the Truthear Hexa. The nova has a bit more bass and a bit more treble. But the Hexas driver setup is very similar to the Nova.
@@AudioAmigoReviews ooohh ty, tho is there an alternative to the hexa? just in case
is this an upgrade from tangzu wan'er sg?
I think so, yes.
@AudioAmigoReviews yey
@AudioAmigoReviews wait can u be sure?!!
@@Eden-qc8if Pretty sure. I own them both and have reviewed them both. The build quality alone on the EW300 is an upgrade, so is the cable and the accessories.
The sound won't be as vocal focused, but it'll have better detail retrieval and the treble will be slightly cleaner.
@@AudioAmigoReviews should I get a 3.5 mm cable?
Simgot ew200 have weak thin midrange (i must turn volume up to hear clearly). Ew300 does i have same problem ?
Not as much as other Simgot sets. The Mids are still slightly recessed. But they’re more forward than the EW200 or EA500LM.
The Gold Nozzle helps a lot with this.
I removed the foams on the gold nozzles of the 500lm. It sounds more open and balanced. Imo. So I keep it that way.
@@boyseverino528 most people I’ve seen with the 500LM either do what you did, or add a foam to the silver nozzle with the black ring around it.
could you had SM4 for comparison please :)
I have the SM4.
The SM4 has better details and resolution. The Gold Nozzle EW300 is a completely different tuning, but the Silver Nozzle EW300 has similar energy in the upper mids and treble.
The EW300 (silver nozzle) has a warmer, richer, more full bodied lower end compared to the SuperMix4.
The Supermix 4 has a similar “problem” with the metallic timbre that the EW300 has. But I don’t think the EW300 is close to the SM4 in terms of overall sound quality.
If you prefer the tuning on the EW300 but want better detail and overall quality, grab the EM6L.
If you want the best example of the “Simgot Sound” under $200. Grab the SM4.
If you can’t afford the EM6L. The EW300 is the way to go.
And if you can’t afford the SM4, look into the EA500LM.
@@AudioAmigoReviews I actually have the EM6L and SM4, was wondering if I should grab those, it's mainly for gaming and the details of the SM4 is better than EM6L, so I might just stick with SM4. Thanks mate 🙏🏻
@@Frank_P83 yeah, I don’t see much of a need to get the EW300 if you already have the SM4 and the EM6L.
Maybe save up for the Ziigaat Arete. I don’t know much about gaming. But an IEM tuned by a pro gamer especially for gaming sounds like a good buy.
@@AudioAmigoReviews yeah I thought about it but at 350$ CAD it's a bit too expensive for me, always looking for the budget King which SM4 are so far and got them for 169$ CAD

@@AbadyAngel With the gold nozzles, you can kinda think of the EW300 as a MUCH bassier Hexa, but I personally feel like the Hexa is more resolving, and you don’t get that metallic PZT sound in the top end.
With the Silver nozzles it’s very different from the hexa. More bass, more treble energy. Recessed mids.
I really like the Hexa and the EW300, but they’re going for different things, so I can’t really say which one is “better”
@@AudioAmigoReviews ty bro
Disclaimer: i still don't understand listening to 'this'. FURTHER testing is needed.
i've got EW300 'XOXO' DSP around last week (Monday - August 26).
i listened to it extensively last weekend.
ONE thing i noticed right of the bat, it somewhat 'FAIL' my HUGE EAR TEST.
.. i mean it is difficult for me to get proper seal, it feels i can't insert it in my ear canal deep enough.
.. no such issue with EW200 'Maze' despite both of them appears to be physically the same.
For now i would say, there is/are something about the sound that appeals to me but at the same time turns me off (for both tuning nozzles).
.. i am not able to pinpoint the issue though.
.. to an extent i probably prefer KZ PR1 Pro over EW300.
(i did drop a comment about PR1 Pro in your PR2 review)
Anyway i can confirm EW200 'Maze' is A LOT brighter than EW300 'XOXO' on both tuning nozzles.
Right now EW200 'Maze' which i deem still my most favorite IEM (after trying the 'XOXO') is just 1/3rd of the selling price of EW300 DSP.
On my side, this is a tough sell however i will not deny it provides probably the best value for money in terms of tuning variations.
IMO, EW300 'XOXO' is probably an easy sell to those who don't really have a lot of IEMs in their collection.
And i do agree about those launch package that consist of THREE variants is a messed up planning.
Personally "DSP" variant should have been named "xHBB".
i would rather to have SIMGOT to just include the DSP cable in both EW300 and EW300 xHBB (of course include the normal cable as well).
Then sell both at the same price or increase the price for the COLLAB variant a bit.
Thanks as always for commenting about your experience!! It helps folks coming to the videos get more information.
I agree with you on the EW300 being a better value for people with fewer sets in their collection. I personally don’t think I’ll get much use out of the EW300 because if I want the gold nozzle tuning. I’ll grab something warmer like the S08 or the Explorer.
And if I want something that sounds like the silver nozzle, I’ll just grab the EM6L Phoenix.

I really believe it’s something special. It and the Explorer are two sets that I honestly truly believe anybody can like. Even if it isn’t their favorite, it does something that works. And for a library as eclectic and random as mine, it’s great.
I’ve got the dsp version, dang it’s way better than I thought lol. I might prefer it to sm4 ever so slightly, but the difference is so small like ew200 vs ea500.
I prefer them to the SM4 as well. But Harman Tuning isn’t my thing. I appreciate it, and I know why folks love it. It just isn’t my thing.
