Good if you like harman, bad if not.

Missed opportunity to call it “The Harmanizer”.

Mine sounds more like this:

Sub-bass boost harman with thicker vocals

Overall pretty decent for a $50 headphone, build is also nice, and very soft/comfy pads… but the treble just isn’t as refined as some of the IEMs at $50 like the Klean, EP5 sounds more like a $20 iem, treble reminds me of OG 7Hz Zero with slight metallic-ness

Edit: wait the EP5 is $85 uhh

They may be using a different coupler.

But it does look kinda spicy with the treble. Guessing they need to dampen it more.

SIMGOT EP5 REVIEW vs $100 IEMS & HEADPHONES

Oh boy, let’s not get started on “phase” discussions. :roll_eyes:

Regardless, sorry to hear you’re not happy with your new IEMs. Always sucks when a new toy doesn’t live up to expectations.

My parents say “It’s just a phase”, but I’m pretty sure my 2-pin connectors are backwards.

as annoying as is to do returns i’d probably just make an out of phase adapter out of my pile of diy parts. what would be really annoying is if only one side was swapped

Phase or Polarity
Or Both ?

If you need to swap one side to fix it, that is a phase issue (out of phase).

It is very hard for me to notice inverse polarity, it there any test such as these ?

I heard few instruments that dont have symmetric waveform can be used to check polarity issue but , I don’t have any clue

Makes sense for speakers where L/R interact in the air. Does not make sense for IEMs since there’s no risk of channel interference. Any difference is psychoacoustic (which is fine, it seems to matter for some people).

Used a BT Earphone, will test with a proper iem later.

Btw is this test accurate ?

out of phase is very obvious as you can check with my video above. Inverted polarity however wont make a audible difference.
