Simgot EW300 VS Truthear Pure

Youtube Video Summary

The Simgot EW300 positions itself as a standout under $80, acting as a direct upgrade to the EW200 with more refined tuning and an uptick in layering/resolution. With the red 3.5 mm nozzle, the presentation is a dynamic, all-rounder tilt: upper-mids/treble are smoother and less peaky yet remain well-extended, vocals “pop” naturally, and separation feels tidier. In comparisons, the EA500 LM carries higher raw detail and a brighter, more exciting edge, but EW300’s calmer balance makes for longer, less fatiguing sessions and genuinely trades blows on preference.

Swapping to the pink nozzle shifts the EW300 into a warmer, bassier, and more laid-back profile with added thickness down low and a tamed 1–3 kHz region that helps vocal comfort and cuts fatigue. It suits rock, hip-hop, and metal while maintaining clean midrange boundaries, improved instrument separation, and a generally relaxing tone. Against similarly priced planars, the analog EW300 sounds less “sizzly” in timbre while holding its own on separation; owners of the original EA500 shouldn’t expect a huge jump here—the bigger step up remains the LM for sheer resolution.

The DSP version skews more vocal-focused and “clean balanced,” sacrificing some analog punch for smoothness and control. A deliberate 5–10 kHz softening plus a 13 kHz accent keeps consonants gentler and overall non-fatiguing, though some may find end-notes a touch too polite; the pink DSP profile further tames vocals while still giving satisfying cymbal crash. Practicalities are strong: the integrated DAC path shows a low noise floor with no odd artifacts on volume changes, and latency is a non-issue; for gaming, the analog 3.5 mm still images slightly better. Net: pick analog for slam and energy, or DSP for a smooth, vocal-centric clarity—either way, the EW300 offers real flexibility and polish at its price.

Youtube Video Summary

Truthear Pure lands as the so-called Hexa successor, but the tuning pivots hard: it’s warmer, darker, and even more laid-back. Male vocals pop with weight, extension, and a lush low-end foundation. At mid-to-low volumes it can come off bloated and a little low-res up top, with dulled upper-mid/treble detail; push it to around 75 dB+ and it scales nicely, opening the stage, adding clarity, and staying non-fatiguing thanks to the tamer upper mids.

Genre pairing leans into hip-hop, rap, R&B, jazz, and rock/metal: there’s satisfying mid-bass impact and sub-bass rumble, with restrained upper mids keeping sibilance and shout in check on hotter recordings. Tipwise, avoid bass-boosters like Final E, Divinus Venus, and even the stock silicones. Go with Softears Ultra Clear or other clear, open-bore tips to nudge in more treble air while keeping the smoothness.

On raw technicals, Pure isn’t class-leading for its bracket—less detail and separation than the older Hexa despite sharing drivers, because the warmer/darker tilt trims perceived clarity. Buy it for the tuning and volume scaling. It plays like a more vocal-centric spin on the AFUL Explorer (darker, immersive, vocals pop more, a bit less sub-bass-centric). Chasing value or technical bite? Sets like EW300 (on sale) or Moondrop Aria 2 Red, and of course Hexa, will feel cleaner and crisper. Bottom line: a side-grade with its own niche—great for listeners who prefer a warm, smooth presentation and aren’t shy about turning the volume up.

Youtube Video Summary

Truthear Pure arrives as a $90 1DD+3BA hybrid with a solid accessory set: postcard, soft pouch, six pairs of silicone tips plus foam. The non-modular cable is notably soft, tangle-free, low in microphonics, and the chin slider actually stays put. Shells are semi-transparent 3D-printed resin with a grooved faceplate, a vent, and a nozzle lip that keeps tips secure; there’s a recessed 2-pin connector. Size is only slightly larger than Hexa, but comfort is similarly excellent—low-profile, secure, and easy for long sessions.

Sonically, Pure shifts firmly into warm territory. Bass is abundant with strong slam, yet its slower decay and “glide” into the lower mids introduce a thick, relaxed presentation that can cloud mid-range clarity and leave vocals a touch hazy; the upper-mids sit a bit too laid-back for the bass level. Treble is safe, smooth, and non-fatiguing rather than airy. Technicals are middling for the class—imaging decent, detail behind more incisive sets. Versus Hexa, Pure adds bass and impact but loses the Hexa’s clean, neutral midrange; compared with Moondrop Aria 2, it’s the “too warm” side of warm-tuned. Best suited for listeners who want a cozy, laid-back signature; not ideal for clarity seekers unless EQ is used to trim the low-mids/bass. Final verdict: 3/5 stars—comfortable build and enjoyable smoothness, but the warmth dominates the balance.

Youtube Video Summary

The Simgot EW300 follows a warm neutral presentation with powerful sub bass, punchy mid bass and a generally smooth tonality that stays non fatiguing. Bass has very good texture and detail with minimal bleed into the lower midrange, while the mids sound full and rich with slightly thick note weight and male vocals that could use a bit more clarity to pop. Female vocals and upper mids stay forward yet never shouty, giving instruments like strings and acoustic guitars a natural timbre and a pleasantly spacious feel.

The treble is a clear highlight, offering very good detail, sharp definition and fast transients without harshness or sibilance, which in turn supports strong imaging and a convincing sense of soundstage with space around voices and instruments. Overall resolution is appropriate for the price, not hyper detailed but clearly a step up over sets like the Kine Delci, especially when using the silver nozzle, while the gold nozzle trades some clarity for extra warmth and bass.

Compared with alternatives, the EW300 sounds safer and more relaxed than bright, aggressive options such as EA500 LM, Dunu Titan S2 or Supermix 4, giving punchier bass and a smoother upper midrange at the cost of ultimate detail, air and micro nuance. For listeners seeking a comfortable fit, warm non fatiguing tuning, excellent treble quality and engaging low end in this price bracket, it comes across as a very competitive and easy recommendation.

Youtube Video Summary

Simgot EW300 makes a strong case as a sub-$80 tribrid benchmark, bringing a more natural timbre, better layering, and a small bump in resolution over EW200. With the red 3.5 mm nozzles, tuning is a lively all-rounder: punchy low end, smoother upper-mids/treble with fewer peaks, and vocals that pop without glare—essentially a more refined, less shouty evolution of EW200. Swap to the pink nozzles and the signature shifts warmer and bassier, taming 1–3 kHz for thicker body and reduced fatigue—great for rock, hip-hop, and metal—while keeping separation clean and the midrange free of bleed.

The DSP version pivots toward a clean, vocal-focused balance: extended yet smooth, effortless vocals, and low fatigue. A deliberate 5–10 kHz dip plus an airy upper push trades some bite for longer listening comfort; the pink DSP nozzle dials vocals even calmer while keeping cymbal crashes satisfying. Implementation quality stands out: a dedicated DAC section yields a low noise floor with no volume-change artifacts, and latency stays in check. For gaming and microdetail, the analog 3.5 mm edges ahead with slightly better imaging and resolution.

Against peers, EW300 trades blows with the EA500 LM—LM chases raw resolution with a brighter, more exciting tilt, whereas EW300 sounds smoother and easier for long sessions (OG EA500 owners won’t see a big upgrade, though layering/separation are a touch better). Versus other sub-$100 sets and entry-level planars, EW300’s timbre is less sizzly yet remains technically competent, and the two-nozzle system effectively gives two tunings in one. Taken together—analog punch, DSP polish, and genuine tuning flexibility—EW300 positions itself as a new value benchmark in its price class.

Youtube Video Summary

The Truthear Pure keeps the $90 hybrid recipe of the Hexa (3BA+1DD) and most of its shell geometry, but tweaks details: a slightly smaller nozzle eases fit for those who struggled with Hexa, while a thicker body changes how it sits against the antitragus. Accessories are sensible—the pocketable soft pouch and three styles of ear tips help dial in seal and stability—though the bold logo and faint channel markings won’t win style awards. Overall comfort is compact and easy, with fit security largely dependent on tip choice rather than ear-conforming contours.

Sonically this is a shift from Hexa’s laser-neutral baseline to a warm-neutral flavor: ~1–2 dB more energy from 1 kHz down adds body and density, while slightly pulled-back upper mids/treble relax the presentation. Stage size and separation aren’t the selling points, yet the treble execution is impressively clean and controlled for the price, avoiding the congestion feared from early listens. Bass remains not the star, but attack is snappier and kick definition more satisfying than on Hexa, making drums feel better outlined without abandoning neutrality.

Think HD600 vs HD650: Hexa reads brighter, airier, and a touch more “technical,” while Pure is fuller, warmer, and more relaxed—arguably the more mature tonality. For contrast seekers, the Jazir/Z Reviews Defiant hits harder with a lively V-shape; to split the difference with extra low-end and micro-contrast, the AFUL Explorer fits. As a sub-$100 choice, Pure lands as a five-star set: not a technical monster, but a beautifully tuned, dense take on neutral that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Hexa rather than replacing it—pick Hexa for openness, Pure for tone and treble refinement.

Youtube Video Summary

The Truthear Pure offers a neutral, JM1-style target tuning aimed at a studio-reference sound, achieving this goal competently for its price point. However, its build quality and accessories feel disappointing and recycled from older models like the Hexa. The shell contouring is rigid and unimpressive, while the tips and case lack innovation. The cable is a slight improvement over the Hexa's – supple but lacking clear right/left indicators – making the overall package just okay, not exciting.

Sonically, the Pure presents a linear bass rise and a generally neutral presentation, differing from the Hexa by offering a bit more warmth but less sparkle and magical mid-range presence. While it fixes the Hexa's "pillowy bass," it doesn't fully surpass it, lacking the Hexa's legendary status. Comparisons reveal it's very similar to the Audio Sense DT200 in tonality, though slightly preferred. It falls short against competitors like the Kiwi Ears Quartet (better bass/mids), Ziigaat Lush (better technicalities), Softears Volume S (more natural curve), or planar options around its price. Crucially, the fit is problematic, often requiring expensive aftermarket tips like the Baroque to work well, which feels impractical for a $90 IEM.

Ultimately, the Pure is a solid but middling release, earning a B rating. It suits those specifically seeking an affordable JM1-style neutral signature or dedicated Truthear fans. For most listeners, however, better alternatives exist: the Hexa remains preferable within Truthear's lineup for its magic, the Nova offers more fun, or competitors like the Aful Explorer (bass-focused), TANGZU Fudu (value planar), or slightly pricier Volume S provide more engaging or technically proficient experiences. It's not a strong general recommendation.

Youtube Video Summary

Truthear Pure follows the beloved Hexa with a smarter twist on neutrality: a hybrid 1DD+3BA at $90 that keeps the sturdy 3D-printed shell, slightly chunkier but similarly comfortable. The package is generous—three pairs of “thick” tips, three “thin,” plus foams—along with a much softer, less tangle-prone cable (still a fixed termination) and a soft leather pouch that’s actually pocket-friendly. Build, fit, and accessories punch above price, making this feel more premium than the tag suggests.

Sonically, Pure takes Hexa’s neutral core and downtilts it: a touch more lower-mid energy for weight and body, with the Hexa’s brighter colorations eased back. The result is a warm-neutral, enveloping, and non-fatiguing presentation—vocals and instruments gain richness without mud, and timbre/decay stay natural rather than dark or blunted. Think of the duo like HD600 vs HD650 for IEMs: pick Hexa for cleaner/brighter clarity, pick Pure for fuller, relaxed musicality. Choose Pure if a superbly executed warm-neutral tuning, long-session comfort, and broad genre versatility are priorities (great as a first “do-it-all” IEM). Skip it if a crisper, more analytical, or treble-forward edge is needed—the Pure presents detail naturally rather than pushing it. Either way, Pure carves meaningful space beside Hexa: neither redundant nor straying too far from true neutral, just the right amount of warmth done right. (Also, a white Pure would be fun—name kinda begs for it.)

Youtube Video Summary

Truthear Pure brings a warm, bass-impactful presentation from its 1DD+3BA setup, but the rest feels like it’s under a blanket. There’s a noticeable 2 kHz hump, then the upper range ducks hard past ~8 kHz, leaving the sound veiled—like three comforters thrown over the music. Great for bass-centric tracks (think Arcane S2 remixes), yet dull and somehow fatiguing at the same time. The shells look cool—semi-transparent with a heatsink-style back—and the stock cable is soft and supple but fixed 3.5 mm. Accessories are classic Truthear: small leather pouch, tip array, and a waifu postcard. Listed around $89 (feels more like $50 value).

The real curveball is the imaging and stage. On 3D test tracks that should sweep smoothly around the head, motion skews and snaps—front/back depth behaves weird and timing feels off. It’s the kind of tuning (or implementation) that begs for EQ just to “open it up”. For listeners who want warmth + bass and the bunny-girl aesthetic, this will scratch the itch. For a cleaner, properly integrated 1DD+3BA experience, alternatives like Defiant make more sense, especially at a similar price. Net: an acceptable set for bass enjoyment, but with odd staging and a rolled-off, veiled top end that keeps it off the must-buy list.
