A BIG thanks to Simgot for providing the EW200 Maze for review, much appreciated. The Simgot EW200 Maze is a budget IEM that amazed me but how much? How does the EW200 compare to the Tangzu Wan'er and SImgot EA500?

Recently I've been in the search of an IEM up to 200$ range price and after watching many reviews from different people I think this channel is a hidden gem and probably my go to from now on for opinions about IEM's and headphones
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. I'm glad you find the channel content helpful.
Same conclusion after watching from this channel for almost 3 years now.
@rhomak1995 I hope that Sharur will not succeed in destroying this channel (attention whore)
He for sure has tried several times.
No te fíes de un solo revisor mira el canal de Andy Audiovault, El te detalla paso a paso y lo compara con otros con cuadros y números, se ve que singood no es de su agrado lo tengo y es una pasada en todo, por 40 dólares no encuentras nada mejor.
Thanks for the review my friend! ;) I got it right about the "vocals" but the other stuff is important too so thanks for the tips! / By the way Tangzu Wan'e have been traveling to me for a few days :) I couldn't resist trying them too :) / 👍👌✌
Awesome 👍 Hope you enjoy the Wan'er as much as I do
The angle of the EW200's nozzles is a bit of an issue for me as well. The EW200 is too bright and sibilant for me in the upper midrange and treble. I tamed the brightness by adding 4.8 mm diameter 300 mesh filters which are included in the Simgot EA500 tuning kit. I simply installed the mesh filter directly on top of the existing dust filters within the nozzles.
Cool. Glad you found a way to quell the bright, sibilance issues.
Simgot seems to be finding it's way. They are built very well, tuning is coming along. I have hopes for future releases.
Me too!
Oh wow, didn't think you would like EW200 because of it's bright, energy. I am shocked that it is your favorite Simgot. Guess I need to pick one up as an alternative to my Tangzu Waner.
Surprise 😁
I thought Wan’er were a little bright. Enough to gift my pair to my daughter. These are bright. Have you used them for a while and do they subdue?
I been looking at this for a while, I was really tempted to buy them during the sale.
They sound interesting but nothing to write home about.
Good review as always.
Glad you found video helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yep
These (for vocal, piano, classic) and Warner 🎉🎉
Just crazy all you could need honestly 😉
from my 11-11 madness
Got also amazin CCA CRA, TRN st5, dunu Titan
I like that you show us the backs of the IEM's. Comfort is my priority when assessing a potential new pair. After all you might have the 'best sounding' IEM's in the world. But if you can't bear to wear them because they're uncomfortable they become merely a trinket.
Completely agree 100%
I know that these are not for me based on this review. You are truly honest, unlike a lot of the hype-man in this community!
Glad you find the channel content useful. I appreciate the kind words. Honesty is the best policy!
Good day sir!, Great review btw. If I may ask, would be this be an upgrade if I already have a KZ ZSN Pro X?
Sorry haven't heard ZSN Pro X
Hello, thanks for this honest review, i have a little question. How would you compared this EW200 with the SONO SHANLING?
Sono is more v-shaped, has more impact in the bass, doesn't have as much body in the mids, slightly more controlled in the treble, has slightly better details and resolution.
I think you'd like the 7hz sonus. So far, it's my favorite budget set
Thanks for the suggestion.
The "EW" name just reminds me of that "Schiit" brand back when I first got into hifi
Would you prefer the EW200s over the Ziigaat NUOs? They measure almost the same over Squig, but the Ziigaats are cheaper. I love soundstage.
Thank you for another great video.
Nuo has better tone and timbre but is similar with everything else.
Hi Dave, Differences between Tin HiFi T2 and EW200? Which one do you prefer today? I appreciate your response, you are the best audiophile channel without a doubt, and I am Colombian and my English is zero. I really enjoy your videos, thank you very much.
I prefer the T2 as it's more neutral and natural with analytical presentation. The EW200 is a more fun tuning.
A-MAZE-ING!!
GM ☕️
Given that price point …there a lot of movement in that market.👍
Budget IEM have made a lot of improvements over the past year and have good competition.
Received a set of these today, ordered from Linsoul around 11.11. So far, I think they need some break in. Quite a bit 3k for my ears. Hope to put 8 or more hours of break in tomorrow. And to try to find the right tips. They have potential. Check out the Ziigaat Nuo, a new one. Nice 1-DD.
Nuo and Cinno in for review.
Thanks for the review. I got these and had to return them because the highs were too bright and sibilant. I give it props for the music listening experience, very crisp and impeccable clarity, but too shouty for me. Sadly not recommended for gaming either.
Thanks for the impressions.
What eartips can you use on the ew200 to tone down the treble shoutiness
A few come to mind that might help:
CTM Flexi Tip
Final Audio Type-E
TRI Clarion
JVC Spiral Dots
Hi sir. Yours ranking video of iems , budget iems? If yes can you provide the link.
I don't have a video of ranking IEM's but I have a ranking list :) Here's a write that explains it and there is a link included.
www.thehonestaudiophile.com/post/another-tier-list
give them a thick copper cable + foam tips and these nitpicks dissapear to a good degree. Clearly a step above for a chifi iem. Well worth the money
Glad you've found a way to help the bright, sibilance issues. Thanks for the comment.
@@TheHonestAudiophilei wonder if our units are a bit different?. no sibilance on mine. quite well balanced with a very good timbre. I did find they are quite vivid as you say but more an over all sheen than just bright treble. i doubt the included tips would do them any favours ! :)
Hi Dave, thanks for the review. Will these be a good buy, something different to listen to when i take off my Tangzu Waner?
They compliment the Wan'er with more bass and not as neutral sound
@@TheHonestAudiophile thank you. Keep up the good work 👏 🙌.
@nirajktm my pleasure, you're welcome
Hey, how does it compare with Cadenza? Either of these is going to be my first IEM. I listen to all sorts of music from devotional to rock. Additionally, I want my IEM to be neutral yet have just enough bass and a crystal clear and detailed treble. So which one of these 2 would do my ears some justice?
Cadenza is bassier, doesn't have as much clarity in the mids and the treble isn't as energetic. The EW200 has more details and resolving. The Cadenza is more fun but isn't as technical.
Thank you for showing the back of the IEM! I've small ears, and though the nozzle being roughly 6mm is fine for my ears, that raised notch is likely going to be a problem for me, as well as that angled nozzle. Not sure how I'll handle the brighter sound signature. Waffling over the Wan'er but the shell is a tad too large for comfort. How would this compare to the Kefine Delci? Seeing as the shape is similar to the Klanar.
Delci is heavier and not as comfortable in my opinion.
@@TheHonestAudiophile That's surprising considering the shape of it. Is that due to the nozzle angle for you? Or the general shape of the IEM compared to the Wan'er? How is comfort compared to the EW200? Especially since you mentioned the raise notch at the back.
@miershyk Wan'er is more comfortable than both.
@@TheHonestAudiophile I've both Tanchjim One DSP and Tanya DSP, would the Wan'er be considered a sidegrade to either of them?
@miershyk I've heard neither of those. Sorry.
i wish someone could tell me the nomenclature used by simgot ea- em- ew-
Me too
Hey, I'm currently between getting a KSC75 and Salnotes Zero:2 or this Simgot EW200 alone, what do u think ?
Great video btw, it has open my mind about the Simgot's
KSC75 are a unique experience and aren't the most comfortable. The EW200 is the most all-around sound. Zero 2 review is in for review but I've not had time with it yet.
@@TheHonestAudiophile Thanks for answering. I've decided to go with the Zero 2 and the KSC75, since I'm new to the audiophile world and would like to try as many headphones and IEM's as possible
Cool. Look forward to hearing your impressions.
Hey, how do you like Zero 2? I just got them but for me they are to bassy, I like more clean, bright sound with forward vocals and now I think about switching to EW200
Review coming in a few weeks. Sorry for delay, have 35 products currently in for review.
Wow, vs Tangzu Waner? :O that is a huge difference of price.
Kindly try to get your hands on the EA1000 too😊
Thanks for the suggestion.
Why kindly lol
Would you be reviewing Tangzu Fudu Verse 1?
Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi may i know how does the tangzu waner , ew200 and ea500 compare to the galelio?
Are these cheaper iem Better than the galelio?
Galileo is better overall then all of them. The Wan'er is the closest in tonality. EA500 has similar detail retrieval and resolution but isn't as accurate with tone and timbre.
@@TheHonestAudiophile I just received the galelio tested them about 1 hour. This is my first IEM. And I can say it didnt wow me. Cause I own hd58x. Hd600 etc headphone.
But with that said. I realize that the eartips need to seal properly and it need to insert into the ear quite deep. And the volume for me need to be turn up in order to get a good sound. If the volume too low it sounds like it's lacking.
After I did that. I sound from so so to quite good.
I would say the sound stage is quite decent Imo. It's outside my head , the vocals is almost on par with my hd58x same goes for resolution. So yeah. I paid rm369 for the galelio and rm1k for hd58x. I would say it's quite impressive.
Bass is decent , mids and vocals not bad. All very smooth.
Just that I wonder do all IEM have pressure feeling?
I would say it's not bad
@calvinyip364 most IEM have a bit of pressure some aren't as much as others.
Glad you enjoy the Galileo. IEM are a unique experience that some people just don't enjoy.
Thanks for sharing your impressions.
@@TheHonestAudiophile imo it's ok. The pressure is ok. It's quite comfortable. But headphone is still more comfortable.
But for an IEM for me it's quite expensive. I think it's worth the price. Quite premium , sound imo not bad quite smooth , and I do like the sound. But at super loud volume it gets distorted some sort.
But the sound it's quite good like I listen to female vocals etc. they say the treble not enough or not extended enough etc. tbh I don't heard it ? It sounds awesome and female vocals sound good. And even if their voice is high and powerful It don't hurt my ears that's what I enjoy about them.
Even the hd600 sometimes can hurt due to the high pitch.
As for bass imo it's not bad. Sub bass too. And vocals sounds clear.
Acoustic , kpop , piano sounds very good imo.
The bass could be more punchy but over it's better than the hd600 bass. Sub bass also just so so. Overall ok. Worth it.
I wonder how the zero red , s12pro or even the em6L compare to the galelio. I feel like all is balance and neutral even with the bass too. Soundstage is bigger than the hd58x and hd600.
The imaging imo kinda poor. Just AVG only. Overall for the price not bad. And most importantly comfortable. Yesterday wore 1 hour + straight didn't feel ear itchy or pain .
How can I use it directly into my monitor audio port?
If your monitor audio has a 3.5mm input you connect the EW200 cable in that way.
Please Suggest me Best IEM '(s) under 20$ - 50$ . My preference -
Good Soundstage,
good sub bass,
and like Fun Signature.
Simgot EW200
7hz Crinacle x Zero 2
Could you do a "Best iems Under 50 Bucks" video, if not could you tell me what would be your top contenders? Pls
Here's a link to my ranking list. Please read the ranking grade tab first.

Thank you!!@@TheHonestAudiophile
My pleasure, you're welcome
I like these a lot, but if I had to only pick one around $50 it would be zero red, worth the extra $15 imo.
What you say is the difference between this and crinacle zero and zero red
Reds better detail retrieval and resolution would be the most noticeable.
How does it compare with dunu Titan S, Dave?
EW200 has way more bass impact, slightly more forward. The Titan S has better tone, timbre, detail retrieval and resolution.
@@TheHonestAudiophile Ah great. Thanks.
@Maheshutube my pleasure, you're welcome
Between these and 7hz Sonus, which one would you prefer?!
Sorry haven't heard the 7hz Sonus.
Oh no worries!
listening on ew200...Yaeh a little hot ..But I am just loving the set ....my favourite set under $50
Glad you enjoy the EW200.
I’ve got trn t tips on mine, works great
Glad you enjoy the EE200.
Greetings. Today your review left me confused,like never before. You say that it's a decent iem for $40, I understood that Tangzu is better,and in the end that its your favorite frim Simgot iems....?? Sarcams?😮😅 Is there someth8ng better before $50 and would you recommend it,please.
All other Simgot I have heard haven't impressed me. No sarcasm, pure honesty.
Please see the gear ranking list listed in the description:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nRHnsP_4vLg9DlD9kwJ6gQuEQFqhTR0lnrkxXo3AMG8/edit?usp=drivesdk
Fiio fd11 or this one?
Sorry haven't heard the Fiio FD11.
Will you consider this as an upgrade from salnotes zero?
does it have a mic?
My variant didn't, I am not sure if you can purchase cable with mic or not. You could swap cables is you need mic. I don't use inline mic though.
i thought simgot has bad QC?
Not that I have experienced.
The best simgot is the EM6L
Hope to get to hear the EM6L at some point.
Safe to say simgot is not your favourite name on planet earth when it comes to earphones then,ea500 didn't do it for you either.😂😅Glad l did not jump on the bandwagon,40 dollars is still 40 dollars,for double the price one can get a very good earphones these days and be very satisfied...Cheers.
Wan'er > EW200 all day, every day
💯 agree
I was thinking of getting this. I already have the Tangzu Wan'er. Are you suggesting that the Wan'er are better than EW200?
@@SudeeptoDutta The Wan'er is more neutral and natural and the EW200 is more fun leaning.
@@TheHonestAudiophile What would be an apt upgrade from Wan'er with the same sound signature under $50 ??
I already have Galaxy Buds2 Pro. I was hoping to get an IEM which has better sounding than the buds2 pro.
Tin Hifi T2 is similar not quite as much bass.
That's great at $40 though.
Decent at $40 and for a Simgot.
@@TheHonestAudiophile any better recomendation? i want to upgrade from salnotes zero, what would you recomend around this price point?
really? i hated it the highs were ear piercing
The upper mids and treble are elevated. I find them to be borderline bright and hot, very vivid. I prefer other IEM, Tangzu Wan'er, but for a Simgot the EW200 is good.
Try Cascara, You will throw all these CHIFI Iems
Cascara? The coffee cherry tea?
