Like C3 with slightly better technicalities. Fit on C3 is better. Can't really justify the price increase over C3. Previously Owned

Very resolving for its price, great value. A warmer EA1000 with a slight decrease in separation and resolution, but warmer with more bass (same bass quality). Not as sparkly and resolving as the EA1000s, treble is a little sharp/not as refined, but a better all-rounder. Has unit variance, lots of brighter units.

The Simgot EA500LM offers a versatile listening experience primarily through its three interchangeable nozzles, which significantly alter the sound signature. With the gold nozzles (red ring), the tuning leans warm and smooth, reducing treble harshness, while the silver nozzles with black rings emphasize clarity and detail at the risk of sibilance in upper mids. The bass is controlled and textured, though sub-bass extension rolls off slightly, and the midrange remains clean but recessed in the U-shaped profile.

Technical performance is competitive for the price, with a wide soundstage and precise imaging, though complex tracks can challenge separation. The treble energy varies by nozzle: the black-ring silver nozzles deliver the most sparkle but may fatigue, while the gold nozzles offer greater balance. Despite the driver's quick transient response, some users note graininess in cymbals and a lack of refinement compared to hybrids like the Truthear Hexa.

Comfort and build are highlights, with an all-metal shell that fits securely despite being a fingerprint magnet. Isolation is average due to venting, making it less ideal for noisy environments. While the included cable and tips are functional, tip rolling improves fit and tonal balance. The EA500LM excels with genres benefiting from its vocal clarity and airiness, though its tuning inconsistencies and treble quirks limit universal appeal.
