Really kept an eye on sound rhyme sp01 and it highly made me interested in these. The reviews are nice about it. I love the similar sound signature that it provides like rumbly bass, sparkly treble but not too much(balanced), good soundstage and clean details along with imaging and separation. I got $150 to invest on IEM. is there any better alternatives to this? If not I will get myself this one.
Better than Sound Rhyme Sp01?

I don't know everything.............but I have done around 74 reviews this year.
I have done a review on the Sound Rhyme SP01, you may have read it? I have tested it since my review and continue to challenge the SP01 against other IEMs in general. It is truly special how the Sound Rhyme SP01 goes about its day. Simply a forward and contrasty projection of great timbre and deep bass, everything is just so big and thick and clear even meaty holding thickness in every direction. BIG think BIG! The SP01 does vocals too, it does everything.
Realistic renditions holding a grand stage, plus a carefully done well-balanced tuned demeanor. Cheers!
Note:
I just did a review where I put it up against the Leteciel MIRA, and in many ways it one out!

someone here selling simgot ea100 fermat at around 100$. @Redcarmoose what's your take on it? I am treble sensitive but I love rumbly and clear bass along with details, imaging, sound separation and soundstages.

See that’s the thing, where the EA1000 is in a slightly different league, I’m not sure if I have compared those two back to back. But the EA1000 truly takes the cake as far as over the other single DDs in the SIMGOT Line!
The EA1000 is a flagship for a reason!
Just added bass details and bass stage, plus added treble details and midrange stage. The treble sensitive thing is also subjective by itself. Meaning there are nozzles to change the tone on both the SIMGOT and the SP01. That gives you the ability to tone down the treble. SIMGOT even sells an aftermarket kit to take it one step farther too, I’m pretty sure. But off the top of my head the SP01 will be a tad less bright, but the SIMGOT may be better refined in style? More SIMGOT details and not just details in the highs but maybe lows too, it is really something. Sorry I wish I could help you more, get both if you can, then sell off the one you like less. Both are 10/10, IMO.

which one would you take at 100$ as the ea1000 is 100$ in fresh condition which is $220 normally and the sp01 in $90 brand new if you were me?
and also have you tried Juzear 61t and Sivga Que?

The SP01 is $89.90 normally and the EA1000 is $219.99. I would probably get the EA1000 and just see if you were OK with it. Plus remember there are all kinds of ways to lower the treble of the EA1000 by using aftermarket and other manufacturers junk if you need to. I will check, I may have done a side-by-side of those two in the SP01 review.

No, I haven't heard those two..................
In my SP01 review I talk about how the EA1000 is 11 grams and the SP01 is 6 grams.
Here is my review comparisons of SP01 to EA1000:
"EA1000:
So first off.........we find out there is more to the EA1000 as far as weight goes. With the Sony WM1A with the same favorite ear-tips we were able to do side-by-sides at the same volume. Though I realized soon that I really got myself into work, many of the same ideas are embraced by both manufacturers here.
It took 6 side-by-sides of a 01:17 song file which contained drums, string instruments and finally female vocals to understand the differences here.
The SP01 offers slightly more bass, a (somewhat) comparable stage, but the EA1000 (red nozzles) inches into slightly more profound separation. The vocals were noted as taking place at a higher intensity with the EA1000. As such, yes, the EA1000 has a slightly more secure fitment and the nozzles are perfect. Here the SP01 nozzles are borderline short, but still work none-the-less. Where due to the extra weight of the EA1000 the extra length nozzles are a necessity, to where the almost 1/2 less weight SP01 gets by with feeling like almost nothing in your ears, still accepting my favorite wide-bore ear-tips. At times I was surprised at the SP01 with the stage it was able to provide, which even was on par with what the EA1000 was doing, stage wise. But to consolidate results here, the SP01 was a tad smoother, which depending on how you do your nozzles (on both) and cables (on both) and finally ear-tips (on both) could be found to where the SP01 was the better deal here. It’s just really a matter of opinion due to qualities wanted or important to the listener. Where there was less contrast with the SP01, yet (just barely) the contrasts held by the EA1000 could be looked at at offering an increase in detail perception. I mean this comparison (while different) was still wildly similar in response, so much so that I kind-of see where Sound Rhyme was going when they released the SP01. Though there was a noticeable extra smoothness and cohesiveness that the SP01 did that was recognizable and valuable. Still it is truly hard to fight the EA1000. Why? Well this extra peak of upper midrange goes to make a borderline intense, yet thoroughly satisfying listen in the end. But if you are wondering which is more forgiving, the SP01 is in the end."
