On simgot’s store they were $79, but they had a short sale for 20% off. Then they did a $9 off coupon, and they’re sold out. Now Linsoul’s Amazon shop has them for $69
I should have checked before I said that - I just went over on Amazon and there’s a listing for $70 now. When I ordered my pair, it was Amazon Prime with a discount code that brought em down to $65. Doesn’t seem to be there anymore unfortunately
Added a correction to my original post.
The struggle is real
Competitive pricing or GTFO the way!
Hahaha I asked about graphs and drivers also and got the same reply.
That may fly with buds but IEMs in 2023… come on…
The OP is actually a decent guy (we had discussions in the past about buds) but his preference is smooth easy listening vocal jazz so even harder with what @pylaczynski dug up from the FB group, to align to the SIE and his comments… I usually don’t respond to this type of shilling but declaring this > at everything including bass than Maestro Mini was particularly egregious. (On the plus side at least I didn’t need to read a fantasy novel of unrelated cultural lore masquerading as a review containing the obligatory car or wine comparisons)
I don’t understand how you can develop fanboy IEM manufacturer beer googles that trump personal preference & integrity. This is audio not crypto (though the lazy and overused collabs draw even closer parallels)! These boys have missed a trick if it’s only about money and not personal relationships and audio enjoyment.
I am hereby joining the cult with EA500’s father’s review. And I have to add that if this is the father, then his son is deserving of all the hype and fan activity: Mobileaudiophile.com (MA) Corner - #130 by Mobileaudiophile
Interesting design
Apparently according to Zeos, these IEMs are going to freak you out and scared the shit out of you, especially when playing horror games. Not going to lie, these ones have piqued my interest and curiosity towards them. This is going to be an IEM that is going to make me freak out and hear shit that I shouldn’t hear which that is an entirely new sound there.
Time to get it some time in the near future.
That’s Zeos being Zeos and overselling. Listen to the enthusiasm, not the words
Lol EA500 now unavailable on UK Amazon. Looks like this hype train is having an impact on Simgot sales!
Yeah…my bad, I guess it’s better to hear it for myself just to hear on what he is saying is true or not.
Has anybody compared it to the Penon vortex? I couldn’t find anyone that graphed both, but they both have a dip around 11k and the bass curve looks similar. They both use DLC diagrams too.
I’d say stock Vortex is a little more neutral/drier than EA500. Vortex has better mid-bass, EA500 has better energy in the upper-midrange/treble.
I definitely would not buy Vortex over EA500 though
Is it a price thing or just that the EA500 is better in your opinion?
EA500 is better
I believe i have found a graph of the EA2000 on IEC711 coupler.
Probably needs another damper on the nozzle.
(since they got a horrible contrast, I edited in colors myself. Red = EA2000 & blue = Volume)
I can’t touch a peak as early as near 2k… so I won’t be following this one.
I just had a tour of my main websites:
on AliE, Linsoul and Hifigo, it is available and listed at 92$
on Amazon US, it is “currently unavailable”
on amazon UK, amazon DE and amazon FR, it isn’t listed at all.
It seems those who want it for less than $80 will have to be patient.
Oof - I’m out. A peak that large at 2k is where I know I don’t dare to charter.
it does look like it needs more damping. But does seem to have mod potential.
