My two fav sets that I own are the Aria 2 and the EA1000. To me, the EA1000 is fantastic, and a clear upgrade in the detail department. The treble is energetic and airy (washy ride cymbals mmmmm), and I'm honestly shocked you didn't discuss the outstanding bass texture! That's like, their craziest feature! Is it possible this is a unit variance thing?? Idk. Just surprised by your impressions of them
Much hype around these iems! Thanks for clarifying their differences! Origin is still on my buy list unless I want to splurge up the price bracket to a Hype 4.
Timmy is spot in the treble. The treble is not natural at all. I have both the ea500 and ea500lm. Also the treble can be extremely sillibant. There was so many ways they could have made a safe yet great treble.
Great explanation on treble, i think it was apt and concise. Still waiting for my review unit. Though had demo impression on EA500LM. It seemed like a hatchback with Sports engine. Will post review once I have hands on.
imho...very surprised with the impression on the ea1000 (sound congested and lacks air as compared with the 500lm ?)...may be we just have different gear or sound preference....thanks for the review
I have to agree, I’m almost wondering if there’s something wrong with his unit. Congested? What? I’ve compared it for hours to Aful 5, Chopin, S12 Pro and a few others and it sounded anything but congested, like not even close.
@@GizaudioI have both of these IEMs. I don’t hear any congestion in EA1000. I do prefer EA1000, it has more natural note weight. Once you mod the black nozzle, treble becomes very smooth and still airy.
I was always going to get the LM, being a big fan of the OG EA500, but I had to choose between EA1000/Origin as the crown and endgame (for now) of 1DDs. I ended up keeping the Origin, it's not only amazing but it's very different from the EA500LM, so it stands out more in my collection. I think many reviews have understated just how different these IEMs sound, the driver timbre changes really stand out set-to-set, so to me it's not an absolute win for any of them, you have to choose the flavor you like. Still hoping you look at BQEZ Wind! Thanks Timmy.
I bought the ea500lm and it's replaced my kato for regular use. I'm currently waiting for the blessing dusk 3 and the hype 4 to come out as they'll be at the local-ish audio store for demo and I'm going to be trying them both out
Guess this is the first time I have to heavily disagree with Timmy on his take, I have spent a good amount of time with both the Simgots here and their technical performance is definitely not on the same level as the Aria 2, they are way better than it. It's not even a comparison, in fact I would even dare say they both come very close to the venerable blessing 3 and I would stand by that. Haven't listened to the Origin so can't comment on it, but the $80~$150 bracket has advanced alot lately that it has quickly rendered the $200~300 bracket irrelevant and $300-500 bracket harder to justify. It's truly a great time for everyone to get into IEM and not have to break the bank for high-quality sound.
Aint the LM a little shouty? I mean it looks like it almost reachest starfield 2 level but I guess it has the bass and warmth to balance it out like on the Chu 2 and Falcon Ultra and create contrast.
I got LM expecting an upgrade from OG and was very disappointed. LM is way shouty to my ears and somehow sounds dryer and more hollow than the OG... something just did not sit right with me at all. Maybe a bad set? or maybe hype train did what a hype train does... ;)
@@januszkapusta1091 tuning is subjective. shout is especially subjective. pinna gain varies from person to person, and if your natural pinna gain is not pronounced, then you are more sensitive to shout; but if your natural pinna gain is pronounced, then a shouty pair to others might sound very natural to you. also depends on how loud you like your music; some people listen to music at volume levels that nothing ever sound too shouty.
@@vianhoho19 Yeah, but I’m also someone who isn’t entirely shout sensitive, and I’ve only gotten to try the SSR and SSP for shouty iems. The Chu 2 comes close but is just under my limit. And I dont know if these are beyond that limit so I’m very on the fence right now.
as someone who owned the Origin and got rid of the EA1000 because the treble area just wasn’t as refined and tasteful as the Origin; you absolutely nailed the critiques and comparisons in this review. And in regards to the LM I agree it’s a very good IEM I agree but if the LM is a pretty good economy car, the Origin is a beast of a luxury car and absolutely worth the price bump imho for the refinements.
Simgot sounds faster, snappier and technically proficient but the timbre isn't up there with something like an oxygen, hana 2, olina se or the new Origin.
One random obseravation I made when I was browsing through Timmy's Squigs is that these two are similar in signature as the Moondrop Starfield II and the OG Tripowin Olina. I've tried those two and funnily enough, Timmy's comment about the two Simgots are somewhat similar to my experiences with both the Starfield II and the Olina; Exciting signature, if not a little bit artificial and excessive in the higher frequencies Will definitely keep that in mind when I try these two. Great video as always, man. Finally, you can shut all the comments yapping for a review of these two once and for all LMAO
Forget the ea500 og now, both ea500lm and em6l are good iems for classical music. Em6l is prehaps more technical but I prefer the tuning of ea500lm. The best is the EA1000 if you listen to orchestral
Sorry Timmy, I have one question, I own ea500LM, aria 2, blessing 3 and AB test them today, I find ea500lm is obviously more resolving than aria 2, and similar resolving to blessing 3, but it just around aria 2 in your video, I know that technical performance is really less subjective in iem, do you AB test iem before you make reviews?
ea500lm is neutral, but moderately V-shaped. it has both plenty of midbass and plenty of upper mids and treble. if you are more sensitive to the former, you consider it warm; if you are more sensitive to the latter, you consider it bright. the kind of songs that you listen to also make a difference; different songs reflect different things. for an extreme example, if you listen to solo violin tracks, then midbass won't matter much, because the violin barely plays notes in that range (lowest note possible 196hz). but in essence it is V or U shaped, which is Paul Wasabii's description.
For me personally, Blessing 3 hands down. They're in different price brackets to begin with 😅 Orchestra Lite, while well tuned, just sound dead in the treble to my ears compared to the Blessing 3.
I like the Orchestra Lite more because it's warmer overall, it has better mid-mids. B3 is on the colder side of neutral to me, only warmed up by some sub-bass, it has more contrast but also less body. I think they're better at different kinds of music basically, vocal and pop are better on the B3, rock and classical are better on the Lite, for electronic with a big bass lines I would choose something with more bass than either of them.
Timmy update your rank tier spread sheet. Appreciate the information. Jay appreciate your info too. The debate which next to buy is real. 😅😂 A reference sheet from all you reviewers will be highly appreciated.
Hey dude. I have been using Truthear Zero (blue) for a week, but it seems like there is something missing. My goal is to play games and listen to music. The voice of the player behind me sounds confused as if it were in front of me, or I can't detect it :) This is my first time using an iEM headset. Before this, I was using the Sennheiser HD700 and I could locate rival players as if I were placing them with my hand. I live in Turkey and the conditions here are a bit challenging, I don't think I can constantly try different brands and models :/ Can you recommend me a nice model? I just want to put on my headphones and enjoy myself, I'm so confused, please help. My budget is $400
I got my LM and I do not like it. The reason is the Treble like Timmy says here but... to me the treble is too peaky and too sharp, even with the nozzle that tones it down as low as possible. Is that the same as what Timmy is saying here?🤔 There's no way I'll call that treble exciting. It's just plain shouty and plasticky to me. The driver is really good. If only they pulled it down just a little bit maybe close to the treble of the EW200 then I would've been able to listen to it.
@@jerickpogi9992 It seems that price doesn't always equal performance in IEMs, and people are reviewing the quality of the single DD in the 500LM very positively. So, I know the EM6L is more expensive, and I know its a 1 DD, 4 BA hybrid (so way MORE, really), but... and here's the thing... it's $30 more (37.5% more money), but is the EM6L 37.5% better than then 500LM? I still, personally, desire the EM6L for myself, as I want that wonderful separation and positionality (technicals) that the reviewers talk about. Still, if I was a first time buyer on a budget (which could include both items), which should I go for?
Simgot are really good in technicalities because high quality driver but tuning is just decent (typical 1 dd budget tuning), too much and uneven treble (especially the lower treble). I think these are too everhyped, some people say that ea500 or ea500lm is king in sub 100$ and destroy some thing like red and hexa... but not really, these 2 tuing is just superior to simgot.
Ea1000 is ok, but I can't use it more than 10 min.Dunu Falcon ultra/blue nozzle/Tangzu wide bore tips has more organic sound that allow you long listening sessions. Very brave statement Timmy.
@@dakebakeuly5193 They don't really. If you want tips that tame the highs a bit I would try Final E-Type (black version), or Moondrop Springtips. Final E adds a bit of bass and pushes the highs down a bit without blunting them too much. Springtips are better with highs, suppressing only the most grainy bits while maintaining the most detail, but they also lose a slight amount of bass. The Tangzu lets out a bit of bass too, but it's worth it for the pressure relief and how natural the mids sound. With Sancai or Springtips I just bass shelf it a little more.
@@dakebakeuly5193 Tangzu sancai wide bore tipa I use with Dunu falcon ultra & P1max . S$S and Divinus Velvet tipa sounds very tehnical but with Tswb tips you get extra airnes around instrumenta , more organic trable without sacrefasing details and more coherent sound ( balance sound without any shoutnnes). I'm very supprised ( positivly) with Tswb tips ..and price is ok.
Don’t use spin fit on this … use kbear tips blue or kbear foam tips or velvet tips.. they are best … coz spin fit give more trouble so it will become shouty
Nice review but I think I disagree about ea500LM technical performance, I A/B test ea500LM and S12 PRO, Wu heyday then ea500LM is the best one, I think it is underrated.
I don't care the comparison between both simgot and origin. But both simogts are equivalent to aria 2 in terms if technicalities? Are we still listening to the same IEMs? 😂
Got the ea500lm and they're okay but nothing special, doesn't sound anywhere as clean as my HD560S that only cost me $30 more. At least the simgots are decent for gaming after you take away about 2-3db of bass.
@@vivaansethi Of course I am with prices being similar. Both are audio products made so you can enjoy music and other content, just that the HD560S sound so much better.
@@VexxedSR @VexxedSR first there can never be enough soundstage as it is on IEM's due to how close they sit to the ear canal with a few expensive or probably niche exceptions to that degree. Also headphones have a wider soundstage in general and any cheap headphone would have a better soundstage over most IEM's. That doesn't mean something sounds cleaner because the soundstage is wider. I have Sony XM5 headphones with LDAC turned on, and I still think my LM's sound better. Sure the soundstage is better on the XM5's but there's no comparison to clarity, treble smoothness, no compromise on mids, and a warm bass texture when it comes to the Simgot's over the XM5's. I use the S24 Ultra with the iFi Golink as my DAC, and the golden nozzle that comes attached right out of the box for the LM's.

Yeah, it's weird seeing them being shilled left and right since everyone and their mother seems to hate "Harman"-styled upper-mids to lower-treble tuning just a few months ago calling them shouty. And Simgot's house sound is even shoutier + brighter than Harman 2019 like what lmao.
@@Ghostling6180 because of the bass, which balances the upper mids out significantly to the degree that some, including timmy, considers 500lm slightly warm
Glad to see a level-headed take on these. People have been shilling the living hell out of them lately, half of the time without even owning them themselves lol
That's why I'm out of the Chi-Fi/IEMs game for good after getting a pair bookshelf monitors. The tribalism is so tiring bro. "my pos is better than your pos", "nuh uh, your ears are broken". And the recent shift towards brighter tuning doesn't help.
@@joeface03 can you tell me how the simgots are 5db more shouty than aria 2 from the graph? nowhere can I find such measurements, and yet you seem to suggest you of all people know how to read FR?
@@Ghostling6180 you can buy products without mingling with the tribes; you say you are out of the game, but you still sneak into the comment section of reviews, where tribalism is bound to take place. I don't understand.
IMO Nova will have a more versatile sound signature at the expense of the midrange being a little thin These two will probably have better timbre because they use no BA but as Timmy said higher frequencies will sound exaggerated and artificial

@@jerickpogi9992 It seems that price doesn't always equal performance in IEMs, and people are reviewing the quality of the single DD in the 500LM very positively.
So, I know the EM6L is more expensive, and I know its a 1 DD, 4 BA hybrid (so way MORE, really), but... and here's the thing... it's $30 more (37.5% more money), but is the EM6L 37.5% better than then 500LM?
I still, personally, desire the EM6L for myself, as I want that wonderful separation and positionality (technicals) that the reviewers talk about. Still, if I was a first time buyer on a budget (which could include both items), which should I go for?
Simgot are really good in technicalities because high quality driver but tuning is just decent (typical 1 dd budget tuning), too much and uneven treble (especially the lower treble). I think these are too everhyped, some people say that ea500 or ea500lm is king in sub 100$ and destroy some thing like red and hexa... but not really, these 2 tuing is just superior to simgot.
Noticeable upgrade to hexa? Im thinking these or cklvx, i like the smoother tuning
I gotta buy a ea500lm
hi man any iems other than ea500lm for gaming?
No green thumb up for the LM?
Green thumb, yes
@@Gizaudio btw I do own the galelio and the LM.
Both sound different enough. Galelio is a great set though. LM too.
Timmy, may I ask which eartips are suit with EA500LM, improving its treble listen more nature.
Eartip help u fit your ear not change sound quality, just find which can fit ur
just copped a chopin on sale , still gonna grab a lm just because tho i like simgot
Ea1000 is ok, but I can't use it more than 10 min.Dunu Falcon ultra/blue nozzle/Tangzu wide bore tips has more organic sound that allow you long listening sessions. Very brave statement Timmy.
I'm new to iems, could u tell if tangzu sancai wide bore tips tame down or amplify treble or "shout" region?
@@dakebakeuly5193 They don't really. If you want tips that tame the highs a bit I would try Final E-Type (black version), or Moondrop Springtips. Final E adds a bit of bass and pushes the highs down a bit without blunting them too much. Springtips are better with highs, suppressing only the most grainy bits while maintaining the most detail, but they also lose a slight amount of bass. The Tangzu lets out a bit of bass too, but it's worth it for the pressure relief and how natural the mids sound. With Sancai or Springtips I just bass shelf it a little more.
@@dakebakeuly5193 Tangzu sancai wide bore tipa I use with Dunu falcon ultra & P1max . S$S and Divinus Velvet tipa sounds very tehnical but with Tswb tips you get extra airnes around instrumenta , more organic trable without sacrefasing details and more coherent sound ( balance sound without any shoutnnes). I'm very supprised ( positivly) with Tswb tips ..and price is ok.
i can't use the EA1000 direct from the dongle, especialy ess, i listen to them from an desktop amplifier
Any plans on review for the qdc superior?
What spinfits do you recommend for the 500 LM
Don’t use spin fit on this … use kbear tips blue or kbear foam tips or velvet tips.. they are best … coz spin fit give more trouble so it will become shouty
Now do the EW200 please 😄
It's simgot, safe buy, (very) good for the price, but wait to get the ea500lm
id take ew200 with eq (+2-3 db @ 125hz low shelf filter, -2-3db @ 250hz) over the 500lm. its timbre is off to me especially in the vocals
How does the EA500LM compare to the S12?
By far I prefer the ea500lm, but that's my taste
Brother Ea500lm or nicehck f1 pro?
500lm and aria on same level... should I unsubscribe...
Without thinking twice 😂
Stop hating on my arias when you did not hear it just because some reviewers say it's outdated.
Same price level I guess😅
YALL!?!
Hello bro what best dunu sa6 mkII or xenns mangird top for gaming, or another iem best for gaming budget $500+? Pliss reply this comment
Nice review but I think I disagree about ea500LM technical performance, I A/B test ea500LM and S12 PRO, Wu heyday then ea500LM is the best one, I think it is underrated.
Better than the s12p?
C'mon bro.
it's literally planar vs single dd
@@joeface03 it’s true, you can A/B test yourself, I really find ea500lm more resolving than s12 pro.
@@irwanchel ea500LM really more resolving than s12 pro obviously, you should A/B test them yourself.
@@wellykuo4590s12p isn't as resolving to start with.
I don't care the comparison between both simgot and origin. But both simogts are equivalent to aria 2 in terms if technicalities? Are we still listening to the same IEMs? 😂
hexa vs ea500lm in terms of tech?
Hexa better
Well done Timmy, I think exactly the same, Good advices
where is the ew200 at?
below
Got the ea500lm and they're okay but nothing special, doesn't sound anywhere as clean as my HD560S that only cost me $30 more. At least the simgots are decent for gaming after you take away about 2-3db of bass.
Bro's comparing headphones to IEM's lmao
@@vivaansethi Of course I am with prices being similar. Both are audio products made so you can enjoy music and other content, just that the HD560S sound so much better.
@@VexxedSR @VexxedSR first there can never be enough soundstage as it is on IEM's due to how close they sit to the ear canal with a few expensive or probably niche exceptions to that degree. Also headphones have a wider soundstage in general and any cheap headphone would have a better soundstage over most IEM's. That doesn't mean something sounds cleaner because the soundstage is wider. I have Sony XM5 headphones with LDAC turned on, and I still think my LM's sound better. Sure the soundstage is better on the XM5's but there's no comparison to clarity, treble smoothness, no compromise on mids, and a warm bass texture when it comes to the Simgot's over the XM5's. I use the S24 Ultra with the iFi Golink as my DAC, and the golden nozzle that comes attached right out of the box for the LM's. Though I still think the soundstage is pretty good for most audiences for the LM's when comparing earbuds to IEM's or IEM's to IEM's. But comparing headphones to an IEM is like comparing a car to a bike or vice versa, though for the sake of argument I had to compare my Sony's to my LM's which is a respectable comparison to draw in general for those categories but not a fair one by any means. I still prefer the sound of my LM's over the Sony's though ngl.

Conclusion: Chopin is better
Oh for sure 🤣
Hi... Can somebody suggest me best iem Rs $80??
ea500lm or aria 2?
Ea500LM is obviously more resolving than aria 2. Mine experience is not same to technical scale in this video.
ea500lm without a doubt, I have heard both and ea500lm wipes the floor with A2 in both tech & tuning, easily !!!
if aria2 (I don't have) and kato (I do have) have similar tech, then for sure 500lm has better tech than either.
ต้องขอบคุณคิลปนี้มากเลยผมเกือบจะกดซื้อ ea1000 มาละ ถอยไป 500lm ดีกว่า
This is what I figured.
Jay has had a bug up his azz with moondrop. I found it hard to believe this was going to be better than the A2.
Yeah, it's weird seeing them being shilled left and right since everyone and their mother seems to hate "Harman"-styled upper-mids to lower-treble tuning just a few months ago calling them shouty. And Simgot's house sound is even shoutier + brighter than Harman 2019 like what lmao.
@@Ghostling6180 💯
well, not just him consider it better than A2.
Putting the Simgots the same as the Aria 2 is wild 💀 That’s crazy
@@Ghostling6180 because of the bass, which balances the upper mids out significantly to the degree that some, including timmy, considers 500lm slightly warm
Glad to see a level-headed take on these. People have been shilling the living hell out of them lately, half of the time without even owning them themselves lol
That's why I'm out of the Chi-Fi/IEMs game for good after getting a pair bookshelf monitors. The tribalism is so tiring bro. "my pos is better than your pos", "nuh uh, your ears are broken". And the recent shift towards brighter tuning doesn't help.
No kidding. It's almost like people still don't know how to read a basic FR.
Stevie Wonder could see the shout in these things.
@@joeface03 can you tell me how the simgots are 5db more shouty than aria 2 from the graph? nowhere can I find such measurements, and yet you seem to suggest you of all people know how to read FR?
@@Ghostling6180 you can buy products without mingling with the tribes; you say you are out of the game, but you still sneak into the comment section of reviews, where tribalism is bound to take place. I don't understand.
@@haomingli6175 Chill bro. If you like em, that's all that matters.
versus TE nova?
IMO Nova will have a more versatile sound signature at the expense of the midrange being a little thin
These two will probably have better timbre because they use no BA but as Timmy said higher frequencies will sound exaggerated and artificial
i dont wanna be the grammar guy but...
I meant to type "y'all" lol thanks for the notice
Three different filters. The LM kicks ashel with the short black. Using Topping? Far too warm to be a reference.
Nice
Is it better than aria 2?
Is aria 2 is better then s 12? Si got 500 lm is better then that if you use with good sources
👏👏👏
1000 is better
This is incorrect. EA1000 is better. :)
agree
Reviews are subjective. There is no right or wrong.
For vocals they should be
For you, it might be. For Timmy, it's not 🤷🏻♂️
@@vianhoho19 For everyone, the EA1000 is easily the better IEM. No question about it.
Brother Ea500lm or nicehck f1 pro?
