Late (or too slow) in the hype train of Simgot EA1000?....i mean, it make a month I have them....and now it's evident the hype is high about those, and I confirm it's well deserve for technical performance, when it come to tonality, this is something more personal and i'm very capricious with my female vocal, which i found similar to EA500 and EW200 with those, so in that regad it dont charm my ears.
All the rest did tough, beginng with insane bass perfomance and quality we got, no1 highlight, then it's treble control and speed, and pristine resolution.

Pros:
-excellent resolution unexpected at this price range
-lively and cohesive bright near analytical tuning
-among best Harman target IEM i've heard
-fast vibrant flexible punch and rumbly bass
-among best bass performance under 500$
-crisp clean and sparkly treble
-fast and controlled attack
-transparent and open mid range
-fowards female vocal
-lot of micro details
-excellent percussions rendering
-new ''single'' DD benchmark
-excellent craftmanship
-good cable
-good sound value

Cons:
-not for those sensitive to upper mids
-timbre is on the bright side
-not thickest or lushest mids
-not for romantic vocal lover
-back plate could be different than EA2000
-bass fi doesn't mean it's for basshead

I think Campfire Audio has learned some lessons and this definitely is one of their better creations. No modular cable but one dose get both 3.5mm and 4.4mm cables and the tuning is very good.
It's a mix of the OG Solaris and Solaris 2020.
Hopefully this will open up a bit more. Mids are slightly thin, I expect a bit more body or slightly less finishing energy after around 100hrs. Fingers crossed.

Hmm, there are headphones, as you know, Neumann NDH30 or 20 models, but in my country, they would be very unpopular in certain circles while in others they would be very much praised.
It's related to the "seig heil" you wrote.

Cheers!

I hope I did not cause any offence, I was continuing the theme of inappropriate naming of products.

Probably says more about me than them -but the picture they use just makes me think about weed...

Grateful I am not the only one who thought this lol… and now that I am thinking about it, I’m kind of shocked it isn’t a common aesthetic in this hobby already!

I'm giving this one a miss the simgot tuning signature is a little too fatiguing for my tastes. Having the EA500 with the ew200 on the way is enough for me. Unless I come across a cheap used deal just to see what everyone is raving about

I thought hard about the EA1000 but went with the Wind. I am giving serious consideration to the Timsok iem. Treble doesn't bother me as much as many. But I need an iem to handle complex music that has a lot going on. The Mest Mark 2 is such an iem.

Here's my review of 7Hz Zero II.

[Tamizhan]

Just saw in the chifi love Facebook page EA500 LM could mean Lithium magnesium alloy similar to starfield. So it's not what I was thinking. Many reviewers giving Pre release input for this particular IEM.
"its not an official collab at all, we can say its more beta tester task....then, Simgot will do wtv they want with tuning suggestion."

Well this has been a rollercoaster of a week. Started off buying the Kiwi Ears Melody’s, then tempted by the Truthear Zero: Red’s so they arrived yesterday. I also had an eBay alert on for any Ikko OH10’s that were listed and I managed to get a brand new set this morning for £130.

I’m hoping that’s it now. I think the OH10 and Hype 2 have a similar sound and the difference between £130 and £280 for the Hype 2’s SHOULD mean the OH10’s will be my endgame and I’ll finally be happy….

I know, I know. I’ll probably have another set by the weekend, but I’m trying and hopeful that this will be it!

Yep to me the OH10 sound really similar to the Hype2
To the point that I have to A/B to try find differences

Got first the OH10 brand new for 126£ off Amazon last year. Aside from the cable, which is quite horrible, they easily feel like a 200+ set

lets wait for the new ew300, maybe it improves the flaws of the wa500/ew200

When you say "excellent resolution" and "lots of micro details" is there a specific song that really highlights this, and makes it obvious that the EA1000 is superior in this sense to some lower priced IEMs?

Whenever I compare IEMs, as long as both are decent, I can tell they sound different, but can't really pinpoint the reason that one is higher quality and/or higher priced.
For example, EA1000 vs Tin HiFi T3 Plus. Is there a song that makes it obvious that the EA1000 has better resolution & micro details?

For those curious about the HiSenior Mega5EST I posted a review here: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/hisenior-mega5est.26822/

I am curious indeed, great review.

Does anyone else have any opinions of this set? Hit me with em, I like the looks of these as an upgrade to the Neo 5 for an “all rounder” and am wondering if anyone has a comparison.

that looks nice...

I found these listed in my AE feed today.

Pula PA01

These arrived today, and look every bit as gorgeous as I hoped. Initially the sound was a little dark and muddy until I found the right tips and cable. For me that was Spring tips & NickHCK SuperBlue cable, but it isn’t hard to improve on the stock setup. They might still change over the early hours of playback - I’ll edit this post if they do.

With the right setup the sound is decent, warm and with a nice timbre. It doesn’t do badly against other modern sets, but I’d not recommend it over the XSL X-One, Juzear Clear, and other top tier recent releases. Unless you are a sucker for a pretty IEM. Like me.
