Youtube Video Summary
Tekusai Lucid brings a tri-brid setup (PZT + BA + dynamic) at around $170, wrapped in a tiny, metallic shell that’s well-vented and easy to cable-swap thanks to a flat 2-pin. Build is tidy if understated—bland faceplate, but a comfortable nozzle with a good anti-tragus lip. The accessories impress: a stable 4.4 mm cable with chin slider and clear L/R dots, multiple tips, a printed frequency response card, and an excellent faux-leather case that actually adds value.
Sonically, the set leans mids/bass-forward yet struggles up top. Treble feels detached and short on air, cymbals lack realism, and drum hits don’t carry convincing power; vocals can edge toward shrill without the extension or sparkle to cleanly resolve them. The measured curve looks polite but shows a dip in the upper-presence/8 kHz region, translating to limited incisiveness and contrast—more “dull knife” than precision scalpel—so fatigue creeps in despite the generally smooth tonality.
As an upgrade path from entry sets like Hola/Gate, the appeal is clear, but competition at this bracket is fierce. Alternatives mentioned—including value standouts like AFUL Explorer, planar options such as S08, and even used-market picks like Performer 7—offer more clarity and treble definition for similar money. The Lucid earns a solid C: acceptable tuning and great build/pack-ins, potentially compelling for small ears or those prioritizing form factor, yet outclassed on contrast and air. Gaming-wise, there’s no magic—any good IEM works—so unless the miniature fit and accessories seal the deal, better sonic value exists.

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
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
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.

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.
