Comparing a $260 iem with a $90 iem is not really a fair comparison. For 3x the price I would hope it sounds better.
But if you already own Katos and was looking for an upgrade...
fair, but this one has a full mirror polished CNC stainless steel shell which will costs significantly more to make, so the actual difference in price between the audio components might be small than the price suggests.
@@kevinyang5904 but would that finish alone constitute to higher cost? Or you mean the internal audio components could also be of higher quality?Simgot ea500 has a similar finish and costs less than 100$
@@nickdawiz assuming that this is using an upgraded oxygen driver, I’d say potentially, since the oxygen is known to be a decently technical DD compared to other DD sets.
@@kaeroseon I see. I’ve tried Oxygen and indeed it sounded quite nice. So perhaps.
Shots fired. Looks like I have another DD to add to the demo list. Curious to hear how close it gets to Advar or IE 600/900 levels.
I absolutely love my Origin and they’ve become one of my daily drivers! I’m curious for you use the stock treble tips or bass tips or did you use other tips and if so which ones did you like paired with it?
Next please review simgot EA500LM !
Second this
third this
Haven't heard the origin yet, but the thoughts on this review somehow matches with my thoughts on the EA1000. Real curious on how they both compare to one another as the Simgot is also cheaper.
How does it begin with EA500LM which is also deemed by many as the best single DD ?
Sir, if you compare the technical aspects of the Simgot EW1000? which is best, EW1000 or ORIGIN?
timmy, what is the direct single DD upgrade to the origin?
Quick summary of both the comment section and the review: So we have Simgot Ea1000/500LM which are very hyped (maybe a little overhyped even), but the Oxygen has been a long time sub-300 single DD king, this seems to be an "improved" oxygen. And these are both said to be miles better than any other single DD. Maybe someone will verify the claims eventually?
Dang! Nice review Timmy
How's it compare to the ie200? I have the ie200 using tape mod and foam tips (prefer this to the dunu tips) and it's easily my favourite iem.
How does it fit? I have small ears and looking for small shell iems
@@irwanchelsennheiser ie series fit is undefeated. very compact and light weight. Though, I recommend buying a 3rd party cable and tips unless the foams fit for you properly.
With double the price I doubt it could compare with the IE200...
@@Nqk27123456 price doesn't always tell the full story.
Please tell me which one is better, ziigaat nuo or the og cadenza. I like the warm sound of the male vocals with a good amount of sub bass and a sparkly , airy treble with a big sound stage, whichever has the bigger stage.
Along with good detail retrieval for the money.
Which one is suiting me the best. KIWI EARS CADENZA or ZIIGAAT NUO.
vs letshuoer s15? whos the best?
Hi Jimmy! Could you please update your favorite IEMs description for the new year?
Jimmy's name is actually Timmy
Timmy, you have to review the EA1000 and EA500LM before crowning Origin as the best single DD earphone. While they have different tuning, both of them are the currently considered by the community to have the best dynamic drivers under $200 and $100 respectively. :)
Looks near identical to Kara with much higher upper mid and treble, adhering to the harman target. Not sure if that's good when people are starting to prefer tuning akin to ThieAudio Hype 4, where upper mid is more like the Kara instead. Either way, $250 for this is a really tough sell unless you're a big fan of Tanchjim in general.
How does this compare to Simgot EA1000 and or, B2D?
Where is the ea1000 review?
I think because its a direct competitor to his collaboration Chopin majority of the audiophile reviewers putting the EA100 in high regard
@@charzo0217 maybe u r right
@@charzo0217 but he reviewed the nova, which is the closest competitor in driver config and tuning, and the ea1000 is an entirely different tuning. Also Timmy haven’t avoided reviewing iems in the same price bracket as his collabs so I don’t think that’s a reason.
@@charzo0217 @kaeroseon bro plz stop it here I watched u several time talking about this . Ea1000 and chopin have different tuning also one is single dd another is hybrid. This vedio is covering 1 dd set also other comparison was 1 dd that's why I asked for where is the ea1000 . Lastly there could be two thing one is maybe simgot didn't send their set or timmy forget to mention ( it is my opinion) . If it isn't the story timmy knows best
Hey dude, have your Chopin's on the way, pumped to try em!
Did they meet your expectations?
@@radiofreealbemuth yeah they’re great. Very different tuning than my Kineras so now I have a choice :)
@SamuelGoodwin glad to hear that you're enjoying it. Can I ask which kinera you have, and how they're different from the chopin?
@@radiofreealbemuth I have the Hodur, it’s darker with way more bass at the same volume level.
Is this reiteration of the hana with new late 2023 market tonal preference?
which one is better ea1000 fermat or origin because I'm in the market for single DD.
Does *Yoghurt* *Band* and the song *Koet* *Ma* *Lo* sound better to you on the Origin or the EA1000?
Still waiting for a update to the iem ranking list 😐
How does it compare to the Moondrop Aria 2? kinda the same FR but Aria 2 has better accesories and cable with removable plug tips.
I would hope that something that is similar to the Kato and costs more money would be better in everyway. I'm still gonna save up for the Hype 4 right now
same here, I am done buying a single dinamic IEMs they don´t feel special anymore... but there's always a chance this statement is wrong
@@monsteroreviewer ie600 might prove that wrong, but it is 700 dollars
Just get the EA500LM. No need to spend all that dough on the Kato or Hype 4.
@@kaeroseon IE600 has some of the best technicalities of any dd for sure, but that unfortunately comes at the cost of ear-piercing treble. Coming from someone who absolutely loves my bright-tilted Sundaras, ie600 takes it a step too far, to the point of sometimes being outright painful.
@@Lost1ntheSauc3 makes sense. I tried the ie200 and even the treble on that is a little bit on the edge of my limit and it’s the toned down version already. Blue cheese situation as said by crin.
The thing that's unique about the Kato is that I haven't seen any other IEM since meet universal praise in reviews at release.
Not even any of the colabs from Crin, HBB, Z or Gizaudio. In every instance the consensus doesn't go over 2/3rds.
Kato hit like 19/20ths consensus - seriously - go look up launch reviews, I've watched dozens of them. This is a big deal to me because we all have different ears, and with that much praise the Kato isn't just "safe", it's practically guaranteed to thrill.
What about the HEXA?
Thats false. Blessing 2 entered the chat..and you know it had more universal praise over the Kato in spades. Blon even had more praise over the Kato
Even waner have more praise, I don't see anyone hate it
A lot of IEMs have had universal praise at launch and lived up to the hype. I'm pretty sure the Hexa is more universally acclaimed than the Kato. The Chu, Wan'er, Timeless, and all of the Blessings are other examples.
@@sofiaclemente7925 Nope. Not the Hexa, nor the Zero. Waner and absolutely not the Blessing 2 - there are lots of reviews that find it too light on bass.
Guys, when I say universal praise I do not mean that the IEM got a recommendation at the end of the review - I mean that in almost every category of performance of sound it was universally praised *at launch.* Obviously, in cases such as Timmy's review he feels many IEMs have since eclipsed its position. That's fine. I'm not reviewing Timmy's opinion.
Nor am I calling your favourite IEM bad doo doo.
And I am not telling you that the Kato is the best IEM to have ever existed at the price. If I listened to enough IEMs I'm sure I'd find something I like much more.
But I don't have the budget or the means to listen to that many IEMs. Therefore, the Kato is the one I'm saving up for.
Also guys, this is an anecdote - I haven't watched every IEM review ever made. I'm just saying *personally* I have not oogled with mine eyes any other IEM get this much glaze.
I bought Sony IER Z1R last year until now no new IEM truly end game though I'm tempted to try Letshuoer S15 and 7hz Timeless 2 and Simgot Ea500
Do you think you got all the same tuning nozzles as a mistake?
Nice..❤Timmy what is the best short nuzzle iem ? I have very small ears..
Timeless kkk

@@rustyshakelford1466 thanks ..I ll have a look at it..👍
At 500$ no Single DD IEM better than Origin?? Have you ever tried Simgot EA500LM or EA1000 before saying that?? 😂
I think its because Simgot is nailing it right now. EA1000 is better than Chopin its really hard to admit that that there is a better set than your collaboration at the same price range. That's why for me HBB is the most honest reviewer and he said there is no point collaborating with Simgot cause they are on fire creating good iem on their own.
@@charzo0217 I mean it’s 2 different tuning styles. Clean Harman style vs warm maybe mild v shapes. And Chopin is imo better than ea1000 for my preferences. More natural. Ea1000 sounds warm and dynamic, very DD-ish, top tier 1DD under 300 for sure but I don’t think it beats the Chopin.
I have been using both the ea1000 and origin. Besides the tuning (just use EQ), the resolution is slightly better on the origin than the ea1000 and imaging is quite a bit better. Bass texture is slightly deeper and cleaner on the ea1000 though, there's more of that deep suction feel.
Upload it to the squig Timmy!
Simgot ea1000 is definite competition and the simgot ea500lm is only 90$ but it's about 95% of the ea1000.
I thought it will beat the aria in price hahaha but damn. The $259 vs $80.
This is probably more aimed at a new improved Oxygen which is more competing against the Kato but since the Kato has been replaced by Aria 2 its kinda a rough comparison.
It's meant to replace or at least be an improved version of their Oxygen so idk why you're expecting it to cost $80.
@@kaeroseon aria 2 was more of a downgrade a bit for value ngl, the cable tho is nice
Hard to beat the Falcon dunu ultra
If compare with Yume 2, what a different? I still deciding to buy between two these.
How’s the fit? The oxygen fit is average at best, and if these have a perfect fit I may finally upgrade
hmmmm best under 500? Just curous how does it compare to the final A5000. Although to be fair I dont think it will beat the best of single DD tactility and best of single BA speed style of A5000 I'm wondering if it does other things better.
You should make the comparison vs yanyin canon2 simgot ae1000 mangrid t2 or hype2 or 4; Your comparisons are terrible because you are comparing 1) with much lower priced in ears and 2) and with older in ears
Chopin better than Variation, and moondrop single DD just not worth it compared to more budget options. Moondrop had their time in the sun, now it’s time for others.
Simgot ea500lm?
Please review the simgot ea500LM
So when is the ea500lm timmy 😢
Hmmm. Dunu Falcon Ultra or EA1000?
Best one-dynamic-driver IEM?
*IE200/600/900 LEFT THE CHAT*
I think he meant the moondrop line only. (He mentionedit right at the start of the video)
Hmm, yours measures brighter than Super Review's. SR's Origin measurement is nearly identical to the Truthear Zero Red above the mids.
i'll rather have b3 for that price at this point.
Maybe the same driver as ea1000. I only heard Tanchjim Ola and it was better to me than Kato( no boomy midbass, clear mids and amazing treble) and this Origin looks like perfection
Does it beat ie600?
No😅
Review the shuoer s15
simgot ea500LM review please.
Tanchjim was already above Moondrop, via Oxygen. This is just a successor.
Still waiting for the FLAC of the outro song
Me2
Graph is very similar to Dunu Titan S...and you can get it for less than 70$.
Oxygen 2???
Please Timmy, O2..?
I was super excited until I saw the price 😭😭
HYPE 4 review please!
So here's a thought... anyone ever wonder with so many iem's being released in a year IF any well known companies have directly copied the internal design of another iem but just made it look different on the outside? There's gotta be someone who has done it because we don't generally tear them apart on reviews to scrutinize what tech is inside, and it would be so easy to make a quick buck wouldn't it?
I guess its time to retire my 3 yrs old Oxygen and put it in a glass frame.
timmy why are you ignoring singot ea1000 ?
The iem measurements don't tell you everything.
I used to own both Kato and ea500, and I can understand that Origin is more expensive. If you say it's as good as the price difference, it might not be. Like 1000 dollar iem is not 10x sound quality of 100 dollar iem.
I think only senheiser and oxygen has amazing dd, thancjim doing really good this time
The highest price to purchase a single DD for me is $150, if its more than that, better get a hybrid
Semheiser ie600 cof cof

3:08 ER2XR
At 260 dollars, i will have to pass. Im not gonna spend that kuch money on many iems, so that price range, it has to really appeal to my tastes.
moondrop beautiful world?
From the chart it's basically a clone. Kato with less bass and slight tilt towards the treble. Just lacking the accessories BW offers. Honestly I can't see how he says it's outright better then Kato when I've A/B'd the BW and Kato and only on certain songs can I really notice a difference.
I did get my BW for free so price isn't a factor in my reviews. I'd imagine Origin just sounds like a cleaner Kato simply due to the same reason the BW sounds like a cleaner Kato. Less bass, more high end but well balanced to not sound harsh. Same question people say with BW, would you bother spending the extra money for such a small change.
Origin is about $120 more then the Kato for me in Australia, from HifiGo. I can't justify that. The Kato is already being out priced by Moondrop with the Aria 2. How are you recommending this and saying Moondrop are second place.
why are you comparing with aria 💀 compare it with simgot ea500 fermet
Nah because Simgot are Simgoated right now. Nothing is touching them in terms of price/performance.
next ew200
nah bruv I'll stick with my Moondrop Aria SE
It might be miles better than moondrops but i just hate all of those tanchjim designs including cables. Im sticking even my kato after 2 years
All the comparisons with the aria and Kato i would expect this one to be around $50-$100. At $250 i wouldn't even consider it. At all.
Don't look for an upgrade in the same price range, and this original seems to be it
This is an Oxygen successor, which was a $200+ IEM, same as the Hana. The EA1000 and Falcon Ultra are both over $200. This has been the price range of the top 1DDs for a while, and Kato launched there too. So I really don't get people saying this is priced too high, it's priced according to it's competition, which Tanchjim is confident they're better than. A lot of people still consider the Oxygen to be the best DD under the Twilight. Why shouldn't this cost $260 if it's really better than all the others? it's not like the Kato is a super high bar to beat these days.
uh oh
comapre ir with Simgot ea1000
This origin is basically dunu titan s from the look of the graph,people that like oxygen may not necessarily like origin due to less bass...Considering titan S has the same detail retrieval as variation with less resolution for 70 dollars or less 250 for this will be a hard sell...Thanks.
Haha u literally gave a review by looking at graph. Bravo!
@@ahmadhusaini8420 Yes l did,even if it's better it won't be 200 dollars better.
@@suntanglory hahahaha nice try kid
I mean, looking at the graph... female vocals are probably trash, and the bass is probably inconsistent. This is in no way tuned better than blessing 2 dusk. Even tho i think dusk has to much bass dip, id rather eq just that.
That's the problem, you're assuming things based on a graph.
juat another IEM that's not in any way better then all the rest only more expensive but it's new so you should buy it and you should like it cause your fav. youtuber says so
Alright... You should try the Simgot EA500LM before giving away the 1DD crown to Origin
Tanchjim missed their opportunity here by pricing it at more than $200
260$ for a single DD? Ya pass
Toca esperar que HBB y tripowin lo copien y lo hagan mas barato 🗿
graph looks flat as a table..no bass
DUNU ZEN PRO
Pretty sure Moondrop and Tanchjim are under the same parent company
Moondrop and softears are, I dont think tanchjim is though, maybe same manufacturer since many companies share manufacturers for shells and drivers.
I think the CEOs are friends but different companies, Moondrop and Softears are both in Chengdu and related but Tanchjim is from Nanning.
i love my moondrop kato ❤
Ummm that's like NOOOO Bass. This is likely a peaky set, for people who want to here ant scream just before getting stepped on. Mids might be too forward without any sub bass to balance out everything else. A big Pass.
Moondrop has horrible quality control. Terrible.
This sounds more like marketing, I mean, I think I read somewhere that Tanchjim is a brand by Moondrop.
Well ofc it's better than aria 2 it's like 3 times the price of aria
Single DD sets are about to become dinosaurs anyway with the advent of DSP and MEMS drivers. All of them will end up in a museum IMO.
Not really. They are much faster and more precise. I think DDs will still be employed for bass thump and timbre in many implementations, and single DD sets may still be common in the low end of the market, but I doubt there will be any that will be able to compete at $200+ except for nostalgia value. Time and the market will tell.
Bruh, current single dd goats are Simgoats - that's what you have to compare against, not freakin Aria2, nobody cares about Aria anymore!!! Nor about Falcon or Oxygen. And KATO?? That's like from the previous century lol!
Disagree and I have the EW200’s and EA1000’s. Are they really good? yes but they’re not the GOATS of anything, they’re just the latest and greatest current hyped IEM’s right now. Newest does not always = better
is Dave coming back ?
the new presenters/presentation doesn't seem as knowledgeable or engaging .
if Dave isn't coming back or is only gonna appear once a month let me know so i can block this channel .
thanks , jeff
pls review the Ziigaat nuo.
if it was priced like aria 2, would be great
And if it was priced like the Moondrop chu, it would be even better! /s
If this really is that much better than the Kato, I think it wouldn't be realistic to expect such a product to be priced that low, we're still talking about a very high-level single dd, and single dd's are much harder to tune than hybrid iems. For them to have achieved such a controlled tuning means they have probably spent a lot of time perfecting it and making it sound as smooth as possible, plus the build quality alone means the price cannot be that low. Imo the price is "right" for what it is, the question now is who would still want to spend that money on a single dd, and I think there is a market for people who prefer single dd's to hybrid, for them to get the best possible option for under 300 I would say it's reasonable. It's not going to be the best absolute iem you can get for the price, but if that's what you want specifically well now there's an option
