Clearly one of my favourites the TS-316, for many you can get a similar taste with the new Simgot EA500LM. But its a step down in technicalities and sound more closed in, it also sound less warm and brighter. Seems like measurements also show the same, even if for me measurements not always show everything.Folks, don't go and read his review of TIMSOK TS-316!
If you do...I guarantee...you'll want to buy one immediately.
Cheers!
The new year has only just started...The EA500LM is a really good deal, they have done the same as with EA500 and will probably be the most popular IEM under $100 this year.
I always appreciate it when this happens.I’ve listened to this track hundreds of times on various headphones and some IEM’s but clearly they’ve all been on the warmer side and now the track just seems … odd.
That seems to be the Simgot house sound..tinny, metallic, shouty forward with background fading out in details.Just had the EA500LM delivered and from a few mins of listening, I’m not used to this level of brightness it seems Some tracks like RHCP’s “Scar Tissue” sound really different on these. I’ve listened to this track hundreds of times on various headphones and some IEM’s but clearly they’ve all been on the warmer side and now the track just seems … odd.
I can’t quite explain it, it’s almost like some elements of it are … metallic, tinny-sounding. I’m sure it’s just a case of me being used to treble being a lot lower but it’s really surprising how different it sounds. Even vocals sound higher pitched.
Using Azla Xelastec’s, I think I might try the Final Audio E tips too.
Edit: Going back to the OD200’s quickly and the difference is crazy to me. OD200’s sound so much more relaxed, a lot more tamer up top and none of it feels like it’s blasting my ears.
Edit 2: Just remembered there’s different nozzles! Switched to the red nozzle and whew, that’s helped and taken the edge off. Still sounding very clear but not that edgy kick when the treble hits.
(Edit: This is for the ibasso 3T-154 since I just realized I only mentioned it midway though my rambling)Thanks for your detailed impressions ,
Please can you tell us something more about the mids/vocals quality and positioning in this presentation , thanks ,
Living in the “Gunshine” state, [edit] I find that proclamation bothersome. The Russian sniper rifle (of that era) is a Dragunov.Hahaha I am a pacifist
But to be honest, when I served in the army, I was the best shooter (they called me a sniper).
I had all ten shots (AK-47) in the center from a 100 m distance.
Their Flagship is still the A8000 but A5000 is their latest in the A series. Not sure if they have anything newer wired iem wise. I think final is working on TWS/BT headphone atm.Is this their new flagship?
Cheers!
So that makes it even more remarkable if someone shoots Bull Cake with an AK-47!Accuracy and a Kalashnikov AK-47 are never in the same sentence.
You wrote A50000, not A5000...I was just kiddingTheir Flagship is still the A8000 but A5000 is their latest in the A series. Not sure if they have anything newer wired iem wise. I think final is working on TWS/BT headphone atm.
Yep. I agree. I'd say in my collection, my current "all arounders" would be the Aure and the OD200, because they both bring musicality and bass, so they can play off the bass heavy music, but also have enough technical chops to handle fast passage metal or jazz, with excellent timbre for accuracy. On the budget side, the Lings could fall under that as well as the Cadenza (I'd even throw the NX7 IV in there as well)?Depends on the user, we all have different taste.
My take is an allrounder doesn't have to mean correct sounding.
If you have heard flat sounding studio monitors in treated room, that is often not that musical. Some recordings can sound spectacular, but also many can sound outright bad.
Then if I use something like a good set of warm bookshelf speakers that's not overly resolving, I will like most music.
Studio monitors also not always reflect what the artist want you to hear, they are made to help find flaws in music.
This goes back to IEMs also. Some prefer technicalities more than musicality, also wrong to say musicality as for some musical means resolving also.
In the IEM world an allrounder for me need to be om the warmer side of tuning without being to bright any places, where all my music flows without me wanting to turn volume down or change track. Basically a set that can play my library on random.
It will also need a certain degree of technicalities, but not too resolving where I will flinch hearing my older recordings or just not as good produced music.
