SIMGOT EW300

Pros: - Nice, sturdy build quality
- Matte black finish ensuring minimal fingerprints and scratches showing
- Warm balance tonality with the red o-ring/silver nozzle
- Punchy, rugged midbass
- Warm, organic midrange
- Good treble extension and detail retrieval
- Crispy treble
- Decently wide stage
- Good technical performance overall
Cons: - Average cable quality – With the DSP cable feeling slightly worse than the 3.5mm cable
- Coherency – The Planar and PZT timbre does stand out more than the DD

Tonality:Warm-balance for the red O-ring/Silver nozzle and bassy for the pink O-ring/gold nozzle. The gold nozzle has a higher damping factor in the upper region.
Between the two nozzles, I personally like the red/silver nozzle the most. That’s why I'll prioritize talking about it more.
Bass
The bass of the EW300 is very nicely done. It has subbass over midbass. Quantity wise, the EW300 has quite a healthy dose of bass. It’s definitely not bass lite or above neutral amount, just shy a little bit from being a basshead amount imho.
Subbass is nicely extended and feels quite deep. “Why So Serious” has good tactile feedback along with the classic DD’s lingering rumble. The bass trip of “Chameleon” – Trentemoller has a really nice rumbly texture and elasticity, although lacking just a tiny bit of depth and air movement. But overall, the DD in the EW300 performs quite adequately in the subbass department.
Midbass wise, I’d consider the bass texture of the EW300 as a bit rugged, raw in its attack and presentation, not exactly creamy. Kick drums are well felt and have a good body to the hits. Contrabass is dense and heavy, while the cello sounds quite warm. The bass driver doesn’t have the quickest transients, nowhere near planar level or of the EA1000’s level, so I'm not fully on board when listening to extreme metal tracks like “Distress Rehearsal” – Every Time I Die. But with some slower pace, more mellow soundtracks though, the EW300 passes with flying colors.
Mids
The general description about the EW300’s midrange is warm, smooth and inoffensive. There is a bit of bass bleed into the lower midrange, but it’s not catastrophic as the midbass is quite nicely done by the DD. This gives vocals and certain instruments a nice weightyness to them.
When listening to “My Way” – Frank Sinatra, “Just the two of us” – Grover Washington, their voices sound meaty and have a good amount of heft to their voices. Female vocals sound lively with ample richness yet not shouty when listening to Celine Dion “All by Myself”, Taylor Swift’s 1989 album and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” + “Please please please”. I’d say both male and female vocals have quite a balanced emphasis to their voice.
When listening to “Shivers” by Ed Sheeran, there's a very minimal amount of sibilance.
Instrument's timbre is... “relatively” natural. I said relatively as although they sound natural for the most part, i sometimes notice there’s a bit of an off-timbre feeling in the overtones of some instruments in orchestra tracks due to the planar driver. There’s only a little bit of it, so i didn’t mind it too much, it’s just something that i noticed. This has more to do with the drivers, not the tuning itself. 95% of the time, i don’t hear that off-timbre. It’s even less so after brain burn-in period. Piano have good note weight to them and is quite pleasant overall when listen to “Starry Night” – Jordan Critz. Listen to the track “Tempest” and “Encounter” of “Blast of Tempest OST”, violin are nicely emphasized, with good texture and bite to them, very little abrasiveness to the stroke.
Treble
The treble of the EW300 is decently extended, crisp, snappy and not fatiguing. It doesn’t have a great amount of brilliance and air, just enough to support other elements of the songs. Cymbal crashes have decent shimmering and sparkles, and has a bit of crunchiness to it. Hihat sounds nice and has a cool wispiness to them.
When observing how natural it sounds in the sustain and decay of the percussion instruments, it’s not as smooth and natural as a dynamic driver, but it does highlight, giving presence and a bit of micro details to the instruments there. The planar and PZT definitely don’t sound harsh or too unnatural, but they do stand out more compared to the DD that was used for the bass. On one hand, that shows some slight incoherence regarding the driver setup; on the other hand, you are getting what you’re buying for, since you know what you’d get from the configuration.
Technicalities
The EW300 HBB has really good technical performance. It has a really good sense of width and depth, height not as good. Imaging is also quite great as well. The resolution is also good. There’s not much I can fault here for the EW300, especially for its price. Sure it certainly doesn’t reach any high end or ground breaking level, but for $70-$80, it certainly feels very well rounded.

Insanely good value for money. I also own the supermix 4 and prefer the sound and tuning of those but the EW300 punch way above their price. They will be my go to recommendation when anyone asks which beginner IEM they should buy. I like the fact that they have the different tuning nozzles and foam.

I own the Supermix 4, EA500LM, EM6L, and EW200. The x HBB EW300 sounds better than all of the above, at least for my preferences. Simgot normally does a good job tuning their IEMs, but there is always a bit too much sizzle in the upper mids or treble. Not with the x HBB EW300. This is the most balanced sounding Simgot to date. If this is the new direction of tuning that Simgot is pursuing, then I will definitely be purchasing their future offerings.
