SIMGOT EA500: Irrefutably A Paradigm One

Image
The brand  SIMGOT  piques my interest since 2018 when I read about the EN700 reviews that were circulated in Head-fi and other portable audio reviewer sites. Its metal shell along with its design aesthetics really pays my attention and I'm somewhat taking a liking on it. I actually yearning to have it at that time but it is quite unfeasible due to budget constraints. After 5 years, In my leisure time, I do publish some review write-ups about portable audio products. I was offered to do a review for a new product from  SIMGOT  and I didn't hesitate to accept the offer as it is my chance to own a  SIMGOT  set.

"The dignity of human nature requires that we must face the storms of life.” –Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi, Indian Nationalist KB Ear Storm  is the latest ultra-budget single dynamic driver set from  KB Ear . I did a review on their ultra-budget level before and I find it decent enough if you are a casual type of listener who just wants a fun and engaging sound.

These transducers are housed in an acrylic shell which offers a good texture in our skin. Like almost all current ultra-budget IEMs, KB Ear Storm uses a QDC-type connector. The shells are in small sizes so that it fits well in my lug holes without any issues like soreness and discomfort that is usually associated with listening fatigue in some IEMs with
