i Tried several IEMs yesterday, some that i can remember are the 64 Audio U4S, Eysian Gaea, Shuoer DZ4,KZ S24, Blessing 3, Truthear Red, and some Simgots (EA500, EW200, and EM6L). there are also some other products that i can't remember the name, like there's one EPZ (red one) that i forgot the code name.

the one that impresses me the most is surprisingly the EW200. the tuning and build are great,even when not factoring the price.

Listening to the Simgot Phoenix EM6L right now with a filter nozzle to tame the pina just a bit and loving this tuning. Stage is amazing and has some pretty good extension in the highs.

Anybody tried Geek World GK100? Looks promising, and doesnt cost too much either.

Geek Wold GK100 Graph.jpg

8 khz is a coupler artefact peak

The GK100 is a very analytical and technical IEM under $200. Has very good micro-detailing and resolution, such that you can dissect music and hear even fine ghost hits of drums, guitar fret squeaks and audience sounds. But the timbre is a bit unnatural, with thin note weight and a sterile signature. It is a bit hot in the treble/upper mids if you are treble sensitive.

Ultimately it goes for technicalities over musicality, so perhaps it is a great tool for critical listening or even audio work (mixing, stage monitoring etc), but for music listening, it may come across as too intense and sterile?

Wow linlong that good😳

I must try then…

Thanks for the input

They are good. Not as technically good as the Vesna though but i much prefer the sound signature because the sub bass tuck on the Vesna makes me very sad. Pressure build up and driver flex is atrocious though.

Little Q is also worth trying. Their bass is a little loose and that'll probably put some people off straight away but if it doesn't i actually think they might have a little more air and clarity than the Linglong plus they have the mid bass that that Linglong misses sometimes.

Do you mean the EW200 is better than EM6L?

Is the stock have nylon / mesh filter underneath the grill?

Stock on the EM6L has a mesh grill so it's easy to just put a filter on top of that.

hey, do you know of a model in the $100-$200 band that has the same tuning as the waner sg? the dumb iems were so good I was amazed at how the mid frequencies were so good. If I do not count the bl 03, it may be my favorite budget segment iems in recent years. tight bass, clear mids and unobtrusive highs. The only problem was that it was a little whistling at high volumes. it was just adjusted to my taste, I didn't want to take it out of my ear.

there is one sr 5 in the cargo, its setting is far from waner. I love mid-frequency centered iems. I have detailed models, but I can listen for a maximum of 1 hour, then I get bored. I remember very well, I didn't want to take the waner sg out of my ears because it was so fun and well tuned.
If you want a 1-for-1 upgrade (IMO) Tripowin Piccolo is budget but I liked it more than Wan’er.

Tri Starsea is the next closest upgrade, but it has concerns about pressure build up in the ear. Sound quality is a big step up though.

Tri x HBB Kai is a little different, but more in the relaxed fun camp as well

Stock on the EM6L has a mesh grill so it's easy to just put a filter on top of that.

Hard to see since the mesh are black, but I think that also dampening mesh filter.
Double the filter will be great to tame high mids, in fact I like your modded graph better than shoutier stock, but perhaps pinch very small hole will great for bass airflow. the nylon mesh already bad for bass airflow, moreover double the filter, you can see slight bloated bass on the modded graph compared to stock.
but remember when punching a hole, you have to take them all first, never pinch a hole while mesh are attached on nozzle.

I did lot of things like this and so do I with the Krila last week here :

Anyway thanks for sharing. Interested in Simgot EM6L for budget technicalities, also consider the EW200 and CVJs

The EW200 is a poor man's Tanchjim Oxygen:

Similar Harmanish tonality, though the EW200 is weaker in technicalities (not unexpected for the price). EW200 is also a tinge shoutier in the upper midrange.

Thanks bro, yeah I've heard good things about EW200, how is this vs CVJ Mei and EM6L?

The hybrid Mei is more technical than the EW200 on the all drivers activated switch (Mei has 4 tuning switches). But there is BA timbre and sibilance/harshness in the treble with this switch setting. Deactivating some of the other drivers with the other switches will drop the treble, but then the EW200 will beat it in technicalities in those cases.

EM6L is more technical than the EW200, though with a tinge of BA timbre.

"better" would be subjective, but out of around 8 people (me included) on yesterday meet, most of us would find the EW200 good and talk about it, while not mentioning the EM6L at all.
