Great detail & clarity. Fit took a long time to get used. Very clear and natural mids and treble. Lacks lower-extension, and couldn't handle bass notes on Time by Hikaru Utada (0:40+).

A smoother and more refined version of the EW200 with better layering and resolution bump. Pink nozzle is warmer and better for rock/hiphop/metal. Very good piezo implementation.

The Simgot EW300 offers a compelling tribrid driver configuration combining a 10mm dynamic driver, 6mm planar magnetic driver, and piezoelectric ceramic driver in a durable all-metal shell. Fit can be divisive due to the shorter nozzles, requiring tip experimentation for optimal seal, but the included detachable tuning nozzles (silver and gold) enable noticeable sound adjustments. The default silver nozzle delivers a balanced profile with punchy, well-controlled bass, a natural midrange favoring vocals, and treble that avoids excessive harshness despite occasional timbral quirks from the planar driver.

Swapping to the gold nozzle boosts bass warmth and smooths treble, aligning closer to a Harman-inspired tuning, which enhances positional audio clarity for gaming. Technical performance is solid for the price, with good detail retrieval and soundstage width, though complex tracks can expose minor congestion in layering. The occasional timbral unevenness in upper frequencies and sparse accessories are trade-offs, but the EW300’s cohesive tuning versatility across genres and activities makes it an exceptional value in its class.

Etymotic ER2SE Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • A mostly enjoyable signature keeps things listenable despite a handful of quirks. It handles most playlists without major complaints.

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • The presentation is steady if unspectacular, holding onto essential details when the music stays simple. Fine details occasionally slip through the cracks.
Bass B-
It delivers adequate punch and texture, though nothing stands out. Sub-bass presence is hinted rather than delivered.
Mids B
The region sounds composed and expressive, giving vocals a natural spotlight. It keeps vocals front and center nicely.
Treble C
Highs are present enough yet carry a bit of grain and splash. Busy mixes can still feel a bit splashy.
Dynamics D
Dynamics sound noticeably compressed, muting contrast between quiet and loud. Transients feel blunted and slow.
Soundstage C+
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width and a modest step forward in depth perception. There's a mild sense of width to enjoy.
Details C+
Decent detail retrieval that handles most textures while leaving some micro-information understated. Most textures come through cleanly.
Imaging C+
Complex mixes stay organized thanks to the improved spatial discipline. Complex passages stay intelligible.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
