Sounds right up my alley, thanks for the tip!

These arrived today and are exactly as described sonically. Fit and comfort were good for me since I like softer tips, but they’re probably not ever going to be used regularly or ever by me. It wasn’t unpleasant or noticeably wrong, but I can’t ever see my self reaching for a set of tips like this given my preferences.

2024-08-17: Juzear 61T
Non-sound: Shell is on the larger side and only has a small vent near the connector so there is noticeable pressure build up and is not comfortable (also has a very small wing that I dislike). The nozzle is on the larger side as well at 6.5mm on the lip and 6.1mm below it. Cable is a pretty thick 4-core cable with a working chin-slider and metal connectors/divider.

| Timbre | - | + |
Sub-bass quantity is higher on the 61T and rumbles a bit more but similar extension, speed and tightness. Mid-bass quantity is a bit higher and more textured on the 61T with similar speed but tighter on the EM6L. Male vocals have a more natural tonality due to the warmth and thicker note-weight along with a bit more quantity however the timbre is quite bad in comparison so it ends up less natural. Female vocals are a bit brighter and smoother on the EM6L but a bit less forward than the 61T but much more natural timbre. Treble is a lot airier and more clarity on the EM6L but is actually smoother despite it having more quantity. Stage is slightly deeper on the 61T but a bit wider on the EM6L. Detail, imaging and separation are better on the EM6L. Timbre on the other hand is frankly horrible on the 61T compared to the EM6L which might as well be a single DD in comparison to the mess of a timbre that the 61T is….
Overall, there is only 1 reason why I would recommend the 61T over the EM6L and that is if you want something warmer, and even then, there are plenty of other better options that are cheaper than the 61T anyway….

Mid-bass quantity is lower on the Quintet but has more texture and is both a bit faster and tighter. Sub-bass extends a bit lower and a bit tighter and faster on the Quintet while it rumbles a bit more on the 61T. Male vocals are near identical but more natural due to the better timbre on the Quintet. Female vocals are slightly more forward, brighter and more clarity on the Quintet and more natural overall. Treble is airier and cleaner on the Quintet although not as smooth as the 61T, timbre is better on the Quintet and is more natural overall. Stage is a bit wider and deeper on the 61T. Detail, imaging and separation are similar. Timbre and coherency are better on the Quintet.
Overall, the Quintet is quite similar but is doing a better job than the 61T and is at the same price and also a quadbrid than just a hybrid. Just get the Quintet over the 61T if u want something like this.
Conclusion: I cannot recommend the Juzear 61T as I frankly don’t see the point of it, it is tuned to be a jack of all trades, master of none set but the timbre is noticeably unnatural so it is neither a fun nor accurate set.

So here’s a newbie question–how do you configure these things? i.e., how do you know that they are receiving a DSD signal or Hi-Res PCM if Android natively wants to feed them 16/48?
there are apps that bypass android audio and just play the file at its sample rate
Uapp and poweramp are a couple I can think of
the hiby app (free!) can do this too.
As the 2 above says, there are apps that bypasses the Android software restrictions. UAPP, Poweramp, Neutron and Hiby are the well known ones to do it. Poweramp is the one I would recommend out of the 3 paid ones.

He said it was a useless idea I think but I’m sure he can elaborate as to why.
It’s also $150 AFTER a $50 loyalty discount. I just don’t see it being worth that and in my eyes it just looks so awful.

As @rattlingblanketwoman mentioned, useless idea. One that I also tried in the past and CVJ/TRN has as well.
-
BC requires a GOOD fit and one that is stable and in as much contact to your ears as possible to effectively transfer the vibrations. Buds do not seal in your ears and this particular shell doesnt look like it is in contact with your ears much at all.
-
BC drivers the size of iem/buds are only gonna operate at the lower mids/mid-bass at the lowest due to how small they are.
-
Putting another driver into the shell of a bud is likely gonna bottleneck the DD (due to wasted space).

2024-09-05: Simgot EW300
Non-Sound: Identical shell to the EW200, (rest is copy pasted from EW200 review) “Comfortable shell due to the slightly smaller than average size and a good shape for my ears, has a good venting implementation with the inner vent and one near the 2pin connector which leads to no pressure issues. Cable is identical to the one in the EA500 except a different wire color, working chin-slider with plastic connectors/divider.”
Nozzles: The stock silver nozzle is the brighter one overall while the gold nozzle is warmer due to the slightly higher bass shelf. The treble is more noticeable (and also the piezo) with the gold nozzle due to both the higher bass shelf as well as the slightly reduced upper-mids/lower-treble although vocals are pretty similar. Overall while I do personally prefer the warmth from the gold nozzle, the silver nozzle is the better one overall and it is what I will be using from now on.

| Timbre | = | = |
| Sub-bass rumbles more on the EW300 and it is more textured, although a bit less tight and fast compared with the EM6L, extension is similar. Mid-bass quantity is a bit higher on the EW300 and more textured although with less speed and tightness, it is more DD-like while the EM6L has some resemblance to BAs. Male vocals are warmer, thicker note-weight and more forward on the EW300 and more natural timbre although cleaner on the EM6L. Female vocals are more forward, thinner note-weight, brighter and cleaner on the EM6L but a bit more natural timbre on the EW300. Treble is a lot airier and brighter on the EM6L and has more clarity than the EW300, although both are very smooth I find the EM6L is a bit smoother overall. The piezo on the EW300 is only slightly more noticeable in terms of it’s timbre sticking out in the mid/upper-treble compared to the EM6L which is more coherent overall and the BA timbre on it doesn’t really stick out much at all. Soundstage is a bit wider on the EM6L but deeper on the EW300, imaging, separation and detail are a bit better on the EM6L due to the overall brighter tonality. Timbre is a bit better overall on the EW300 (bass and mids) however the piezo sticks out a bit more on mid/upper-treble compared to the BAs in the EM6L which is more coherent overall. |
Overall, you could say that the EW300 is a mix of the EM6L and Simgots other single DDs along with some more warmth in the treble. EM6L has a more wow factor in terms of impressing with its treble implementation (and a bit more technical) but other than that the EW300 is the more solid iem and much more versatile. I would go for the EW300 over the EM6L as long as you are not looking for something that is brighter and cleaner.

| Sub-bass is very similar but has a bit more quantity on the EW300. Mid-bass is similar but a bit more textured and a bit more quantity on the EW300 while the EW200 has a bit more speed. Male vocals have more warmth, thickness and a bit more forward on the EW300, while the EW200 is more clean. Female vocals are a bit brighter and more forward on the EW200 and cleaner, ever so slightly more natural. Upper-treble is slightly airier and brighter on the EW200 but is smoother on the EW300, while the rest of the treble is a lot brighter on the EW200 and noticeably peakier than on the EW300. Stage is wider on the EW200 but a bit deeper on the EW300, imaging and separation are slightly better on the EW300 on busier tracks but not much different otherwise. Similar macro-detail a bit better micro-detail on the EW200. Timbre is a bit better on the EW200 as the piezo on the EW300 is ever so slightly noticeable. |
Overall, the EW300 is warmer, smoother and is a bit more versatile, they are not that similar so if you are coming from the EW200, the EW300 is NOT a direct upgrade to it. If you have neither of them you should go for the EW200 if you want something brighter (and cheaper), otherwise the EW300 is the better iem overall and also more up my alley.

| Sub-bass extends and rumbles a bit more on the EA500LM and has a bit more texture while it is a bit tighter on the EW300. Mid-bass speed and texture are very similar but slightly tighter and with a bit more quantity on the EW300. Male vocals are a bit warmer and thicker on the EW300 so it is a bit more natural because of that but the EA500LM is a bit more detailed. Female vocals are brighter, more forward and cleaner on the EA500LM. Treble is brighter, airier and peakier on the EA500LM while the EW300 is much smoother and also warmer, with a similar detail. Soundstage is much bigger on the EA500LM both a bit wider and noticeably deeper and is holographic, EW300 is much more average. Similar imaging, separation and detail (although the macro-detail is a bit better on the EA500LM helped by the brightness). Timbre is better on the EA500LM overall. |
Overall, the EW300 is more versatile, safer (more relaxing and less fatiguing) and is tuned much more up my alley. The EA500LM´s biggest advantage is that the bass and stage are better, and is more fitting if you want something more U-shaped/exciting.

| Sub-bass quantity and rumble is a lot more on the Sora with more texture as well as extending lower, it is a bit tighter and faster on the EW300. Mid-bass is more textured on the Sora and slightly more quantity while it is a bit tighter and faster on the EW300. Male vocals are warmer, thicker and a bit more forward on the Sora although cleaner and more detailed on the EW300. Female vocals are a lot brighter and more forward on the EW300 as well as thinner note-weight and more detailed but can be shouty in comparison to the Sora. Treble is pretty similar in smoothness but is brighter and has more gain and a bit more air on the EW300, the piezo is a bit better implemented on the Sora though as the timbre is a bit more natural and has less piezo timbre. Stage is much deeper and is more holographic on the Sora but detail, separation and imaging are better on the EW300. Timbre is slightly better on the Sora. |
Overall, the Sora is pretty clearly superior in bass and stage while the EW300 is the more technical one. Personally the Sora is much more up my alley and that is what I would get unless you prefer something with more (female) vocals and/or more treble. Do be aware however that the Sora has 3 big issues that can be dealbreaking, first being the QC, second how it is hard to buy and lastly that it has pretty excessive driver flexing/pressure build up. As an aside, Simgot, please make an iem with the bass of the Sora Light 2019 with the rest of the EW300 and that be EPIC.
Conclusion: The EW300 is another great set from Simgot, this time they seem to have taken note of people complaining about how bright their sets are and have finally made something warmer (less treble, not that much more bassy though) and is more versatile/balanced and a safer recommendation overall. I recommend this set for people that wanted to get a Simgot iem but was too afraid because of how bright they were or for people wanting to hear a well implemented piezo tweeter. It is not for people wanting the familiar Simgot brightness though and if you expect the Planar and piezo to be clearly noticeable then that is another no.
