The Mitsubushi Montero line here in the Philippines was marketed before as Pajero. Thats why some of my aunts, uncles and grandparents who were fluent in Spanish are quite amusing on the naming scheme. Pajero means w***er or t***er :D
In Britain there was a car named the "Triumph Acclaim". The German translation would be "Seig Heil". Probably not the best choice.

In true Spanish style - you have this issue everytime you ask for a drink with a straw also: Pajita = drinking straw.

(it's a little better than the whole chicken & d*ck issue English people constantly have when speaking Spanish poorly or the issues they have when saying "ohh it's hot today" being interpreted as "I am horny today")

Yeah, a car model from British Leyland, I think.

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!

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.

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.

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."
