Tonality and Timbre are perfect better than many Kilobuck Sets
Bass is so incredibly organic
Tuning Nozzles are a great way to tune this IEM
Mids are perfectly neutral in the presentation, neither forward in the mix not recessed
Vocals present pitch perfect not thin & airy nor Warm and thick
Build and Accessories Top Tier
Cable comes in only 3.5se no excuse to not have a 4.4 option or Modular
Treble still too much Pina Gain and you spend too much time trying to tame it.
Mid Bass could have just a touch more impact not enough energy for Rock

Cross-post... (https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-discovery-thread.586909/post-17794042)SIMGOT EA1000
Easiest first impressions ever? OTB just the best SIMGOT ever. Smooth effortless midrange and treble, they finally have a real (no questions asked) winner on there hands here? I can't take them out of my ears? Just enough lows, which are fast and tactile? Amazing......I'm almost in tears here?
There are somehow transients totally emphasized in the low end, combined with the tuning, it's insane? Used just like the last picture, included cable, ear-tips and Sony WM1A with MrWalkman's firmware. Where the lows have this airy ability?

Thank-you, I came over here to post stuff, and I see you beat me to it.

"So I can go over the EA1000 maybe a little more here? The stage is somehow very big, but not just that, it's all imaged and everything seems in place? Where here they have gone and created a very accessible top-end. Doing away with any of the (slightly hot) brutish EA500 top. I haven't even explored the rest of the nozzles yet, don't need to, as this is dialed in.Thank-you, I came over here to post stuff, and I see you beat me to it.
I don't want to make these any more than they are, because they are not prefect, yet SIMGOT has also figured out a way to maximize the effect of their tuning in that there is inescapable note-weight, yet there could be a slight diminishment of low end for rock? I'm OK with that character, as for the money these are so very on point, yet probably better with some genres (other) than rock or EDM? Still they perform this miracle of bass transients? Where it's a totally detailed low-end.....like a pond that you can look down into. But if you were to throw rocks it would be a slight noticeable lack of kick with rock? Still these don't have burn-in yet? I just received them last night.
But what you end up with is a style of increadably guilty pleasure in that the SIMGOT EA1000 are like the best pair of desk-top speakers you ever heard. You are so blown-away by them that you search out the 80% of your library that they do perfect, then you literally can't take them out of your ears!
You know when they are talking about correct timbre from DDs, this is exactly what they are referencing!"

What a fantastic set for $219 good luck beating that in 2023 I wish I had the DUNU Falcon Ultra to compare
Simgot's having one helluva year...!
For your consideration (a must watch wrt refinement tuning suggestions)...

I suppose it is my turn at the EA1000. I was thinking if there is such a thing as Hi Res= The EA1000 is just this. The resolving nature of the drivers vs the tech used to get the best out of em. Dual chambers with dual magnets & passive radiator. These things sound like they have a bunch of drivers doing the magic for this sound. For the type of energetic detailed sound signature the sound is going for these hit the nail on the head. However I do ever so wish they incorporated one of the nozzles to have a lower pinna gain and a bit less intense treble aspect to inject a different take on how detailed this sound is. A neutral warm signature using these drivers would be just stunning. But hey one can wish. Might have to mess with the EA500 nozzle kit a bit and see if I can come up with one. But for what it is. The resolution of these are pretty crazy given the price point. I have dynamic IEMs that cost a whole lot more that dont resolve like these. Very impressed with what Simgot has made here. It has absolutely HUGE potential for even more personalization via nozzle filters, cables and tips. Will have to do some experimenting but for now. These are stunning at the price point. Detail freaks would love these.

So the nozzle tuning kit works wonders on the EA1000. All I did was throw in the longer foam piece in the existing gold nozzle. Booya! tames down the upper mids and trebles a touch. The included empty nozzle fits perfectly on the EA1000 as well. Will fine tune it a bit more but this kit is perfect on the nozzles of the EA1000.

More tuning fun. I used the empty nozzle for the EA500 tuning kit to make a new filter. Basically I wanted to see if I can get a slightly warmer tuning for the EA1000 and.
What you know. On the picture shown above I took the most dense mesh and used the shorter foams on the bottom inside the nozzle. I do believe I have achieved exactly what I have been looking for from the EA1000. Amazing. Tonality is more natural. balanced better, it looses just a touch of that treble articulation but not enough to hamper the sound of the EA1000. This sounds amazing!
Any of you guys end up getting the EA1000 or have it. I encourage you guys to try the EA500 tuning kit. That 4th set of nozzles that I wished I had. I already did, I just haven't made it yet.
It works perfectly on the EA1000 and will tune them to what your preferences are. This mesh filter and tuning sponge combo brings down from what I am guessing at least 2 dbs of the pinna gain and trebles. It sounds freaking amazing like this. Still airy, still very detailed but now with the correct tonal balance. Excellent.

Here's a review of the Simgot EA1000 Fermat, with comparisons against some DD sets like the Tanchjim Oxygen, DUNU Falcon Ultra and FINAL E5000.
https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/simgot-ea1000-fermat-in-ear-monitor.26790/reviews#review-32158
Pros:
Beautiful shells
Good ergonomics and comfort
Easily driven
3 tuning nozzles to vary along Harmanish curves
Class-leading resolution and technicalities
Fast, clean and textured bass
Transparent midrange
Great treble extension and air
Natural timbral accuracy
Coherent
Cons:
Dearth of eartip choices
Shells may be fingerprint or scratch magnets
On some nozzles, may be bright for treble-sensitive peeps or those sensitive to upper mids
Not for bassheads

Can someone please compare the bass on the EA1000 to that on the Oriveti OD200? The latter has an impactful and very pronounced bass. What about the bass on the EA1000? Also, is there a distinct subbass presence felt on it?

Is the Simgot EA1000 worth $220?
I saw some very good hype train reviews at first, but then later saw some so-so reviews, so I'm just not sure.
I'd like a top-of-the-line IEM for acoustic & singer/songwriter music.
$220 just seems like a lot of dough unless there is something special about it.
I'm thinking about getting it when I see a discount available, but not completely sold on it just yet.
