Highlights

Introduction of Simgot EM5, a new IEM (In-Ear Monitor) that the reviewer is excited to share.

Simgot EM5 has a unique design with semi-recessed sockets and a full metal jacket, giving it a solid feel.

The EM5 comes with two tuning nozzles, red for a harmonious curve and black for the house sound, offering different sound signatures.

Comparison of the EM5 with other IEMs like the Eco obsidian oh tens and Sennheiser IE200s.

The EM5's cable is decent but comes with molded ends, which are more expensive than metal ends.

The reviewer's initial impressions of the EM5 were very positive, noting its ability to articulate and pick up nuances in different sources.

The EM5's performance varied with different sources, sounding warmer and more to the reviewer's preference when paired with certain devices.

The EM5 is described as a balanced, neutral, and harmonious IEM with a 3D stage and excellent extension in the highs.

The EM5's bass performance is noted to be present and fast, with the right note weight, depending on the source.

The reviewer experienced 'zoning out' while listening to music with the EM5, indicating its ability to immerse the listener.

Comparison with other IEMs shows the EM5's natural and resolving sound, with better vocal presentation and detail retrieval.

The EM5's dynamic performance is praised for its ability to bring emotion and excitement to the music.

The EM5 is considered a technical beast with excellent build quality, tunability, and sound quality at a great price value.

The reviewer predicts the EM5 will become a cult classic due to its performance and pricing.

Final thoughts emphasize the EM5's ability to make listeners get lost in the music, which is the ultimate compliment for an IEM.

Transcripts

hello everyone this is the tone deaf

Monk

I'm very excited to bring you something

today that I've had for the last four

days and I've been chomping at the bit

to tell you about it and I'm really

excited

that'll obviously come across uh today I

want to share with you the Sim got em

500.

I saw this online I thought they were

pretty

I started asking around in our review

group

um Canucks audioholics if you haven't

seen us uh check us out on hi-fi guides

and where you'll find all our written

reviews for this as well

so I saw this online I reached out to

simgot and

um asked for a sample

um I haven't really seen it around a lot

and I haven't heard it being talked

about a lot uh on any of the older

models

and so I just wanted to see what they

were about

and I am very glad I did so uh Eric lab

in our review group uh talks highly of

this en1000 Sim got he has loves it one

of his faves and so I you know it got me

really curious

um I'm gonna flip the camera around I'm

gonna show you a little bit of and I you

know I don't do unboxings

um but I just want to show you these

beautiful IMS and I got some comparisons

today too so it might be a longer one I

apologize definitely worth the watch

hold on

all right I'm back so here they are in

their chromie

Glory

uh these use a really nice

semi-recessed socket I love this

um

it is a Full Metal Jacket which means

these are

solid

and they feel solid

and they look solid

uh they're beautiful

um quite gorgeous if I didn't know the

price

I would have paid 500 bucks especially

after listening to this thing you can

see a little screw in there for the uh

one side of the vent the other side of

the DD vented is right through there

through the nozzle

these are unique in the fact that they

come with two tuning nozzles

you simply unscrew this this is the red

one that comes on the unit itself when

you get it

inside I have some pictures that I will

post with my written review you can take

a look there

so the red nozzles

they give you more of a harmonish curve

but kind of harmonish simgot curve the

black ones that also come wow these are

I got fat fingers and it's still not uh

not too hard to put them in so these

ones and you can see the slightly

different filters inside pretty cool

uh these ones are they say come towards

more of their house sound

so on the back of the box

there is two curves so it's kind of nice

the red one corresponds to the

red nozzles and the blue into the black

nozzles uh pretty self-explanatory

these curves are

very

I would say very close to how this unit

sounds if you know how to read a graph

the red nozzles add a little bit more

mid bass into the mix

and this gain for the highs isn't as

steep so

the vocal presence and you can see even

here where you get this little dip it

changes the sound signature so you're

gonna have to try both and see which

one's for you

personally I went to the red nozzles

um I'm a bit trouble sensitive actually

either one was fine for me but I'm a

bass head so

that's where I went

um and I and I absolutely adore what

happened

there

um and it was a quite the roller coaster

ride actually for me

uh so later on I'll

get back more into this as well so here

is the Eco obsidian oh tens

ever since uh Dan from Dan's audio ruse

called it obsidian I've I'm I'm obsessed

with calling obsidian

I think they stuck I love these little

meteorites uh it's one set I picked up

used

that I will never sell

uh

uh cloth cable hakugi

here is my

Sennheiser ie200s I just got in and I

bought these ones off Amazon too ended

up putting their hakugi standard mmcx I

bought the Sennheiser one which turned

out to be wrong but the mmcx

snapped in beautifully loving it so if

you got an ie200 20 cable anyway I

thought I'd compare those two because

these right now these three are my

absolute favorite

Iams and they're all tuned a little

differently and uh they're wonderful in

their own right and I reach for them

the cable that comes with the SIM got is

decent uh these little

uh tie holders dump them get rid of them

quick quick because they'll rip your

clothes and all that happy Jazz these

little molded ends are nice they're

actually people don't know this but

they're actually more expensive to do

these little molded ends than they are

uh metal end

just in case you didn't know that and

this is a great little cable

um zero Tangles for free

that's what you get non-balance

unfortunately

uh the tips that I used uh that I found

that I like the best they may have cut

down a little bit of the base but I love

what they do to the vocal presence

region and these are the JVC fx9 spiral

dots so

um

there you go uh let me flip this around

again

there we go sorry I don't mind showing

you my

ugly face but I I'm not a fan of vids

with

you know

talking with their hands uh it just kind

of weirds me out

anyway

um I'm gonna do uh

so let's go back to Journey

uh my process is

I first listen now I I really was

excited so I threw him in and I and I

wrote down some notes

I was using my ibasso dx160 with the

Cirrus logic chip and I love the way it

sounded I thought it was absolutely

terrific then

I burned him in for three days straight

yesterday I threw him in again and I was

listening to them yeah again off the

dx160 today

I

did my 33 song playlist that I always

use it's expanding

and

um

I was like

something's it my initial impressions

maybe was just an initial love affair

were fantastic and then uh I listened to

it off the little shoe

um truthier dongle off of my phone

and uh I thought that the sound was not

nearly as warm as my first impressions

which I really really enjoyed

so I let these things burn in again more

time really tough

um

I put them on some serious volume and

with that uh I put them on and I I

suspected I knew

what it was

I like a warmer replay I like a bassier

replay

Zen's up is my go-to fave

my reference

and

I was thinking off of the shoe that it

was a bit

vocal

too squeaky clean and the female vocals

didn't give me that same excitement so I

suspected uh that maybe the

em-500 for me remember this is very

subjective uh that I think it needed a

warmer source

so with that in mind I threw it on uh

two different apps and two different

sources

I'm very thankful that I actually have

more than one to play around with I have

the

Shandling

up5 with the ESS

um

I have an E1 da SG3 if you've never seen

this little dongle it is the absolute

most articulate squeaky clean brutally

honest little piece I've ever listened

to

works for some pieces and

the shoe

um

also uses a CS logic chip set

but the ibasso is known for just having

a hint of warmth and okay I figured you

know and they all sounded straight up

spoiler I I love this I am again it's

one of my now three favorites

and

um I threw it on the jashelli J2 akm

with my topping a90d

and the magic came back then I threw it

on a couple tube amps

and there was even more magic and so if

you have a tube amp

I I they worked for everything there is

some iems that are I would say that

they're classified as Source sensitive

which to me translates to if you don't

have this particular s sounding Source

it will sound like

scat

where the EA 500 sounded

very good with every single source

and

with warmer sources it got closer to my

personal preference to me this means

that the driver that they use in the EA

500 is extremely

high quality if it can articulate and

pick up the nuances in your sources

that's a very rare thing and it does it

extremely well

do I believe you need to pair this thing

with something no I don't I think it'll

sound fantastic

what for whatever you choose to use I am

in a really happy place with either a

tube amp

um or the just Shelley with the topping

sounds terrific power wasn't really an

issue either it worked low volumes high

power low power High Gain low gain

sounded better on low gain

to me

um so the next stay I think I am going

to talk about uh

sometimes I just

sum it up

but I'm just going to go over some songs

and my playlist is gonna it's in my

written one and I'll try to post my

playlist in the comments of the video

so I want to say thank you again for

simgot for providing this and giving me

this opportunity to share with you I

uh it's like 90 bucks that I've seen

this thing and I've seen it now released

on sale so

um there you be

I love my female vocals and I love I

love my all my vocals and I love Bass

the curve that I showed you earlier you

can see that this is not a base monster

and it is not a base head I am

uh it is also not a trouble head I am I

think if I were to classify the EA 500 I

would classify it as

a balanced neutral harmonish tune I am

whatever the hell that means

I'm just going to share my Impressions

so when I do

my notes for the tracks that I'm

listening to the same tracks I am trying

to pick apart

the I am I'm not trying to be mushy and

gushy and and try to find all the good

things that's in my synapses

I'm just trying to listen to the I am

and I gotta tell you something I tried

this last night and I was chatting back

and forth with uh

Bennett in our group and we were talking

about different uh Jazz that he was uh

recommending and and I started listening

to it and I just zoned out

that hasn't happened to me in a very

long time I review a lot of stuff I

listen to a lot of stuff we share a lot

of stuff between our group right so I've

got four iems that are from Eric and

then I pass them along and and we all

share so we have a really good chance

and a of listening to different things

so I zoned out listening to these things

and I put down my paperwork and I got

lost in the music

that is a really powerful thing to say

these iems will make you lose yourself

in the music you will stop forgetting

you're listening to something stuck in

your ears and you will just sit back and

enjoy the music

you can stop watching this video now

if that's something you're interested in

and these will do that for you for under

100 bucks

my Impressions person because I think

it's important to share

Holly mcnarland uh her vocals

um beautiful blue

crisp she should have an edge to her

voice uh on the ESS and the serious

logic I did find her vocals a bit thin

with the akm jashelli then it added back

in what I I love it it I'm not going to

call these warm iems at all

uh if in fact they would it be a bit

vocal forward in the mix

with enough Bass

to make you happy but in the base Y is

for the EA 500 it really is if there's

bass in the mix in the track it will

bring it up if there's not it's not

going to force it out it's not going to

add anything

um that's what I call more of a neutral

I am

um

I wrote her her voice was perfect and

again

it may have been thin on a more

resolving

um brighter

Source but I just loved what happened

when I put it on a warmer source so

something to keep in mind the rest of my

impressions are now done with

I did my full playlist with pretty much

every Source I had I've spent

12 hours plus not the zone out time but

just that critiquing on different

sources to get where I am and like I

said in my previous videos I will tip

roll cable roll

to bring out the best I think that these

can do and then give you my impressions

so uh Tracy Chapman track number two

um it's the way it's recorded uh the

strums on the guitar uh I've seen Miss

Chapman live I think I know what her

voice sounds like so in my mind I try to

remember

um

I'm pretty sure I was spit on from her

singing That's How close

she's also a very cool person and likes

beer

uh fun fact there uh guitar was bang on

vocal perfect

tons of air

these things don't the EA 500 I'll tell

you straight up does not sound like a

graphs it has more bass than you think

it would and it has more trouble and

extension than the graph shows and air

it's a really unique special I am I

think

the vocals in this track in a lot of IMS

you can't hear it and it and this the EA

500 brought it out and I and I I had a

big grin

uh Paradox uh Meb is the artist great

female vocals again uh I'm listening for

accurate piano at 11 seconds and bass

hits at 28 and vocals again at two

minutes

um my notes where base hits are fast

um nice delay

so when the the weight of the bass hits

when it it has a nice Decay where the

bass is still fast but has Note weight

and I like that replay it was very nice

um accurate piano double check marks at

piano and bass hits again were present

so it did it really well uh Rock Me

1980 something doesn't matter the 80s

were great

um

the bass guitar does it it goes down

again

um

I really enjoyed this

um with the tubes because I the tube

amps bring a little bit more of the

bottom end in the mid bass and I really

enjoyed that it had the right right

um

very good stage and fast hits so not

only does it it play a nice mid Bass

with nice Decay it actually is pretty

quick the driver itself this is a great

little driver I don't know what's in it

but it's pretty fabulous

uh later we'll get into the comparisons

of the oh10 and the ie200

um Wheat Kings tragically hip uh this is

where I was getting now a sense of the

stage

um and what the EA 500 is all about

every I am for me and I love

I'm a I don't even know how I would

describe myself when it comes to stage

um particular

I don't know

I'd like I how I am present themselves

the ea200 uh ie200 sorry sunny

doesn't it one way the oh10 does it

another way my ej07

does it a completely different way

and I'll explain how this does but I was

getting a sense of the stage of the EA

500 and and after what five songs in I I

kind of like knew that this IM has a

really cool 3D stage

a very nice extension in the highs lots

of wicked vocals uh and guitar details

more so than you would think especially

that the curve that I chose

uh next one some uh chemical Mentalist

from the crystal meth uh I love the hits

right if I just you know so sweet with

this track goes so loud

um I think if if you listen to this kind

of music you are

actually you know what I'm gonna go

Backtrack on that I don't think there is

a music genre that the EA 500 isn't

very good at

there you go I said it

um

it's time Labyrinth see you deeplo if

you haven't listened to this track it's

very different three different singers I

use this it's a cool track uh higher

volumes uh a lot of Ed Iams I listen to

get really sibilant and they can't bring

out you don't hear the background

singers you don't hear the the

[Music]

when when all the singers are singing

together it gets muddled together

um

the the depth

um the left singer

on one of the tracks comes forward

um

and it gets washed out

uh

it was very nice the piano didn't get

washed out the vocals at two minutes 30.

and I run it my notes should blow your

mind

I wrote encircled XXX exclamation mark

it gave me the chills that's really cool

uh all my friends are here Joe Satriani

uh my favorite

guitarist

um

in his track he describes this song as a

rock guitarist trying to control a wild

beast

it had massive width and this track

great depth actually too uh so here you

can hear the uh in his mix he mixed it

with him playing in the center but it's

back and then there's a left and right

mixed in and it's more forward and you

can hear that

and that was cool

um and the other part in this track

there is a very hard to play on guitar a

descending a major and on a lot of EI

iems you can hear the descending notes

you don't hear it it's and you miss it

and once you hear it in a track and you

know what you're listening for you're

you're you are listening for that and

how it replays and that's why I use the

same tracks typically I'm changing up a

little bit

uh number nine the antidote is the

poison go go Penguins I'm gonna speed up

here very 3D plucks uh in the air are

nice uh bass is surprisingly present

and I think that's because it's in the

mix and the EA 500 brings it out

uh oh here's one that isn't gonna do

well which is uh number 10 Angel Massive

Attack this is a

um at least I thought it wasn't gonna do

well

uh and it did really well in the tube uh

and the acam

um

it doesn't go super low it doesn't have

the super drones that you can hear

um

on the

super articulating decks the ESS

on the to Shelley it went really nice

texture really nice texture

and you could hear it the the the weight

of the bass it wasn't as it wasn't like

oh10 level

boom but it was beautiful for what it

did do really good presentation

phenomenal vocals

uh Melissa Etheridge another one of my

female vocal faves uh guitar bass

beginning

I wrote oh my God vocals

uh Annie Lennox another one uh amazing

extension and Sparkle it was

um and now I was getting a sense of it's

the EA 500s Dynamics microdynamics which

are the ability to do you know bring in

high emotion to the particular section

of what you're listening to in a passage

and

um how well it did that and

macrodynamics is in the overall replay

of the song what kind of motion did it

uh did it did it bring out

did it really well

um

Holly mcnarland very well done again

female vocals shape in my heart from

stink so now we're getting into some

very tough male vocals the poles were

were so nice uh perfect as was Sting's

voice so uh the tea party now a little

um Seattle grunge

um wishing you would stay with Holly

mcnarland again and in this track uh if

you're listening to it properly both

vocals it's a very hard track to

reproduce properly

lots of things going on it's a rock song

and his vocals and her vocals a lot of

times aren't

either one sounds good or the other one

doesn't sound good

um and it has to do with that mid bass

and how it replays that and how much of

the of the drivers are doing that into

the frequency range

in it and it did it Wicked uh huge

Dynamics

um in every song

that I've listened to you so far the EA

500 brought it out with passion uh

emotion uh instilled into the music and

I circled

um

you know 15 songs into my playlist third

round and I wrote Musical

that is one good way to describe the EA

500 uh Avenue a Tom Cochran so in live

recordings you know I'm listening for

can I hear the venue can I you know if I

remember and I've been to you know

stadium in a concert does it sound like

I am there or am I in a studio where am

I how big is the stage how natural it is

um and I wrote big stage so natural like

you're in the middle of the concert hall

a hundred feet from Tom Cochran

um

and I wrote also strings at a minute 30

are so nice

so

I'll get to so a next one uh honey Irani

if you haven't seen my videos before so

this is a piano player and she is very

unique

she has uh it's very intimate the

presentations so there's multiple

microphones and

uh when if there's one on the keys and

there's more than one inside of the

piano on the strings

and when she's playing the when you hit

the key you hit the key and then you

hear the resonances from the other mic

for the strings reverberating inside of

the piano very hard replay so a lot of

iems

couldn't

get the right weight

and they couldn't

[Music]

um

get the piano correct and then hear

those details the EA 500

did it all really well

my lights off

that's okay I'm good

um so it played it really well piano

notes were perfect second mic's clearly

done excellent number 18 summertime

Louis Armstrong Ella Fitzgerald the

trumpets man if you listen to a song and

you know what the trumpets should sound

like and you listen to the EA 500 and I

just had a big dream because the

trumpets came with that just that

perfect tonality of the edge uh bite and

tone both of Ella Fitzgerald's vocals

and Lewis Armstrong so completely

different those two are great together

um

they were great I mean they were both

done correctly

uh Pancho Sanchez uh love him again

check him out uh trumpets here are they

should sound silky good Timber overall

mix uh how does it present it uh and of

course uh Pancho Sanchez is famous for

his drums which he sells on his website

if you like banging on drums

micro Dynamics were huge drums also

sounded great that was my notes

uh Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

I I know they have a whole album with

pop music and uh my girl and I found

this album It's recorded really well and

I listened to this for Dynamics

excitement how well the loads I mean

it's very transitional right so I mean

low passes High passages it's Orchestra

and

um

you can hear the xylophone playing

better than I have in a long time big

stage

so now I'm getting back into the stage

of this this thing and uh the stage is

on the EA 500

all of it is pretty much inside of your

head it is pretty wide

has great depth has great height on

certain

tracks if it's in the mix

and it'll bring it out

um

I really love the Dynamics of this song

and the emotion that the EA 500 brought

into it Sim got whatever driver you're

using is

nice

um it was a great listen I said I just

kept turning up the volume

probably not good for my ears uh iconic

Alanis Morissette again there's my

vocals uh it gave me again the

chills it was awesome

um

I just came from reviewing the uh

mentally block them out

the shine

The Joy audio

no amount of gear in the entire Cosmos

will bring that Iam's emotion out

period uh the EA 500

did it so incredibly well

um and the vocals were amazing at 38

seconds

it's funny listening to the same song

over and then just hearing something

you've never heard before

and then once I heard it I had to go

back downstairs I had to listen to it on

my atom audios and I went oh yeah

it it's there but I didn't hear it

before until I listened to the EA 500.

okay

at 38 seconds I can hear that she

changes the mic position

and I have never heard that before

The Day That Never Comes Metallica live

s M2

yeah again it the EA 500 managed to

present this in a way that I could tell

it was in a massive massive venue uh

with the San Francisco Symphony and if

you haven't seen the video you can tell

that the whole symphony is wrapped

around the stage and it is so well

recorded uh and when vocals come on you

really get that sense of stage

uh at 56 seconds the base hits were fast

they were very nice

um

the next one I at track I listened to is

Fleming the BBS and if you get a chance

to listen to this track

dial up

your volume to like near Max

and listen to this thing it's very

dynamic

when I used to demonstrate home audio

Pro Audio speakers

I would sit somebody down and I would

literally dial it up and I would make

sure that I chose the right Source

material for

the person and what I knew it was going

to happen and my favorite replay

uh with this song used to be from a pair

of speakers uh the the biggest ones they

made from nht now hear this it had a lot

of five inches and it had a lot of low

end and but it hit like a truck and

that's what I'm listening for

uh tricycle uh it did it very very good

almost perfect not

not

the slam of that nht speakers but enough

to bring a lot of great emotion and and

it was fun

uh you can tell at this point that the

EA 500 suffers from lack of sub

extension on certain tracks it's not

there it's not ever going to be there

and it's not going to force it to be

there so the tuning of the EA 500 isn't

going to have massive sub information

and that kind of translates into the

very lowest of the bass and on tracks

like this you could hear its weakness

foreign

if it's not tuned that way I don't know

um but I'm a bass head so I like more of

that but I was still pretty happy with

that I wouldn't obviously throw these

things into my ear if I were to listen

to a lot of bass heavy music

because I know what they're about

um

Michael Jackson's Thriller man the the

beginning is sometimes a lot of I am I

find very similar the the the at the

first 11 seconds in

um the electronics music of that is like

sheer my head off this got really really

close

um but it didn't

push me over the edge so I was happy for

that and again the wow factor in the 3D

stage was was pretty cool uh Oliver

manzurkey the African musician big drums

um

uh lots of uh lots of details lots of

things going on very cool replay backup

singers

um and I really liked I liked the vocals

actually at the beginning

again here you have male vocals and

female vocals and it's hard for iems

that I find to hit that nice balance and

it did really well uh Brothers in Arms

uh Dire Straits at the beginning you

hear that Thunder and it's really hard

to if you have too much Note weight in

the bass and sub bass it sounds funny

and it doesn't sound clean and you can't

really tell it's just droney uh it did a

really well great presentation uh Mark

knopfler's voice was very very good

uh he actually has a husk

Y sound in his vocals in this replay of

this song and that was really nice uh

another one I now threw into my playlist

that I heard the other day was a live

version

uh of uh I think his name is Niles

Lofgren

and he plays acoustical guitar

and

um

it's an amazing amazing track and uh

it's it was mesmerizing how well it did

it and that's was some of the what I was

listening to the other day when I zoned

out

um I just got lost in the music

it was so cool uh and I just you know

uh

I I have a couple more like Bella Flack

I I started listening to the banjo very

cool like how does banjo sound to you to

me it sounded like a banjo playing on

that track

but my last note here for my song lists

um

and I wrote and I circled

before I sum up

is just that I said you know what uh

that song and that the way that the

EA 500 played back just makes you get

lost in the music and you forget you're

wearing something that is a huge

compliment to simgot for

inexpensive I am it's not actually that

inexpensive you know what I mean but

compared to

top of the line thousand dollar single

DD yeah it is uh what you get

last year I'll just summarize kind of my

thoughts and then uh quick comparisons

to the oh10 and the ie200s

um

the stage uh the stage on the EA 500 is

not just left and right center it is

very 3D but it's kept within your

headspace

that's the way I can describe it I would

also describe this stage as very

spacious it had a great sense of

you know around here so

that probably didn't make any sense

um

from track number two Tracy uh

uh Chapman number three Meb the

difference in the depth between the when

I listen to track two

track three

you could hear the difference of the

depth of the singing and that's how I

kind of got okay well it this I am

actually has a great sense of depth not

all the time

but in the mix it did uh so if it's in

the mix it will brutally honestly it

um

the base uh when it's in the mix again

like go go Penguins it has great weight

and it's fast and it has the right

notewake sometimes tubby sometimes

um quicker

and it transitions like it it I think it

replays music

the way it was intended to replay the

music

not trying to color anything

uh I again I'll say it's not Source

sensitive that I would consider it only

works on one kind of source and this one

worked well for all kinds it was very

resolving

um such a good driver again

um and the that's a huge compliment

again because if it can pick out the

nuances of different sources

that's a very resolving driver that can

do that

uh without an EST or a ba or a bone

connection or a planar this is a single

dynamic driver

right

um on warmer sources it did add a touch

of warmth and I found then the base it

was perfect for my preferences and my

stuff that I listened to when I'm not

listening I should say that when I'm not

listening to these 33 tracks

I'm listening to what my mood last night

with Bennett it was you know

Jazz

uh if I'm jamming out then it's you know

Metallica tragically hip

um live

if I'm in a vocal fix you know Lord

um Halsey

more modern music I'm very varied

classical

not as much but again I enjoy orchestral

work like that pops album from the Royal

Symphony was very good

the Dynamics of the EA 500 is very good

it it just has a natural way operative

word natural way of presenting the music

naturally with excellent Dynamics it

creates emotion that makes you get lost

in the music

right that's that's pretty good

I think all genres for me were there was

no downside there was you know rock EDM

vocal Jazz they all hit my happy place

um

for

for these music I didn't think there was

one that it didn't wouldn't be good for

right it it wasn't sibilant it wasn't

bright it wasn't too Bassy but it had

bass

um

I hope that gets you a good sense

um

of the EA 500 let's go into

flip it around again you've probably

all right because you know I love

talking with my hands

EA 500 Okay so

flashbacks of oh10 the weight that have

how it feels in your ear the Comfort

um

for me it took a while to get used to

the weight of these things and once I

did and put the right cable on it for

supporting it

um I'll never get rid of them they

replay in a way that is

you know

it's it's a special I am people still

buy it it's been around for years and

it's getting cheaper and it's fabulous

uh let's compare this now the EA 500 to

the ie200 I finally got a new cable in

that I could put balanced on it uh so if

we were comparing these two stage is

more left and right intimate and closer

and is more Studio like than live versus

the 500. goes lower in the sub base but

it doesn't hit as authoritative it's

warmer and it's not as forward in the

vocal mix

that's how I would describe the ie200

versus the EA 500 send God

the oh10 so now it's 1dd and ba uh wider

stage here but not even remotely close

to being as 3D has more high frequency

energy more bass more v-shaped

more speed

more colored sound

I love if you have an oh10

and you read the reviews I tell you that

this has a more colored sound not as

natural as the Sim got uh and definitely

less which is funny because it has to be

A's I didn't find this have as much

details

there you go uh the EA 500 had overall

over these uh better more natural vocals

it did have much less sub extension but

I thought that actually brings out a

nicer details in the lower base in the

mid bass and I think that's why it

sounded great for male vocals and female

vocals

it was definitely more vocal forward in

the mix than the other two I found the

EA 500 definitely very articulate the

the driver is very resolving and the

details are fantastic it the EA 500 is a

quite at technical Beast

last one

it really is so you get this

super awesome build

oh my there we go super awesome build oh

there you go you get my face and that at

the same time

um

build quality

tune ability

sound quality resolving power

price value equation

that's it that's all I got

um

I'm never gonna say I'm going to

recommend something or not really not in

this kind of level you read reviews you

do your research

this is my impression

thank you

last look before you go I want to thank

you all for watching my channel and I

much appreciate the likes and subscribes

and the love that the community has

shown uh

apologize for the massively long one

honestly the Sim got EA 500 deserves

this video

um I'm not shelling it but I'm telling

you it it will be a cult classic and

especially how it came out with the

pricing so it was

it doesn't look like it should be at

that price and it doesn't certainly

sound like it right take price out of

the equation what does it do it does

things in presentation and the stage in

a very natural organic way that makes

you get lost in the music

done

end of story for me

thank you much tone death Monk
