Fairly mainstream tuning with a treble response that's well done given its emphasis.

A less bassy, cleaner EW300, a calmed down EA500LM. A great middle ground between the warmer simgots and the brighter simgots. DSP Tuning is cleaner. Great technicals for a single DD

Simgot EA500 reviewed by Audionotions

Audionotions 5.5 Reviewer Score
Olina/Oxygen like tuning, which I generally like. Bass is midbass focused with sub-bass roll off. Very punchy and energetic sound with oodles of impact. Very close to the Olina with the mods applied. A better fit and possibly better build than Olina with an interchangeable nozzle makes this interesting. Unfortunately the nozzles basically don't do anything but might even be the source of some imbalance. Overall sounds a tad bit crisper and tighter than Olina, but the difference is small. Techs are also a step down from Olina. Less sub-bass than Olina, but this allows the midbass to pop more, which I like for certain tracks - nicely textured and impactful but not overpowering. Treble can be a little spicy - a bit unnatural sounding in the treble, especially for percussion but overall is very fun to listen to. Unfortunately, QC is not great - my unit had channel imbalance.

Slamming bass with the variety. High quality DD with good resolution.

For me it's just easier to recomend the EW200, or em6L due to this being lean in the bass.

Probably the most detailed focused set at its price range at the cost of sounding off in the upper treble region. Probably the (one of the) most value pick at its price range.
