Simgot EW300 (DSP)

NOTE: I have the DSP version of the EW300, but for this review, I used a regular 4.4mm KBear ST5 cable instead of the included DSP cable. Interestingly, I recently discovered that pairing the EW300’s DSP cable with the EA500 results in amazing sound—but that's a story for another review!

The unboxing experience of the EW300 is straightforward, reflecting Simgot's practical approach. Inside, you'll find the IEMs, a selection of tips, and the standard cable. While I opted for the DSP version, I've been using it with a regular 4.4mm cable and Divinus wide bore tips. The IEMs themselves are beautifully crafted, with a design that feels premium without being overly flashy. The housing is ergonomic, fitting comfortably in the ear, which allows for extended listening sessions without fatigue. The finish is textured matte black reminds me of the paint they use in the underlining of a pickup trucks or truck bed lining paint it adds to the quality and durable feel of the iem.



Simgot's EW series has been a reliable companion for anyone looking for a well-balanced sound that doesn't sacrifice fun for technicality. Having thoroughly enjoyed the EW100 and EW200, I was eager to see how the EW300 would perform. The previous models in the EW series were known for their well-tuned Harman sound, offering a musical and resolving experience. What sets the EW series apart from the EA line is its broader appeal, with a bass presence that's generous yet controlled and a treble that’s detailed but not piercing. The EW300 takes this a step further, acting as a bridge between the fun, musical signature of the EW series and the more technically inclined EA line.

Bass

One of the great features of the EW300 is its bass response. It stays true to the EW series' DNA, offering a beautifully layered bass that is both deep and textured and more refined compared to the ew200/100. The bass is present but not too overpowering, making it a great fit for a variety of genres. the EW300 handles the lower frequencies with finesse. The bass is impactful and adds warmth to the overall sound signature, contributing to that fun and musical experience the EW series is known for.

Mids

The mids on the EW300 are lush and detailed, providing a richness that makes vocals and instruments come alive. The lower mids are full-bodied, giving weight to male vocals and instruments like the cello and guitar. As the mids transition into the upper range, there's a noticeable energy that adds excitement to the sound. This energetic upper midrange flows seamlessly into the treble, creating a sense of cohesion across the frequency spectrum. The mids are neither too recessed nor too forward, striking a perfect balance that makes the EW300 versatile across different genres of music.

Treble

The treble on the EW300 is where some of the technical abilities of the EA line start to shine through. It’s detailed and well-extended, providing excellent clarity without ever becoming harsh or sibilant. The treble extends nicely, adding air and sparkle to the sound signature, which helps to open up the soundstage. This makes for an engaging listening experience that’s both immersive and enjoyable. Even though the treble has a good amount of detail, it remains smooth, maintaining the EW series' characteristic of being easy on the ears.

Technical Performance

The EW300 manages to strike a balance between musicality and technicality. The soundstage is fairly wide, offering a good sense of space and separation between instruments. Imaging is precise, allowing you to pinpoint the location of different elements within a track. The resolution is another area where the EW300 impresses, providing enough detail to satisfy those who enjoy dissecting their music, yet not so much that it becomes clinical or fatiguing. It's clear that the EW300 inherits some of the technical prowess of the EA line while retaining the fun, engaging sound of the EW series.

The Simgot EW300 comes with two interchangeable nozzles—gold and silver—designed to let you fine-tune the sound to your liking. After spending a good amount of time with both, I can confidently say each nozzle offers a distinct listening experience. What makes the EW300 nozzles stand out is that, unlike other IEMs with swappable nozzles where I tend to settle on one and ignore the rest, I find myself regularly switching between the two during the same listening session. In fact, I use them so often that I'm starting to worry about wearing out the threads!

Both nozzles are genuinely good, and I believe they’re both essential to fully appreciate what the EW300 has to offer. The silver nozzle delivers that signature Simgot sound—balanced, clear, and energetic. On the other hand, the gold nozzle transforms the EW300 into something reminiscent of the EA500LM, with the added warmth and punchy bass of the Kefine Delci. Both options bring something unique to the table, and I honestly enjoy both equally.

Silver Nozzle: Balanced Precision

Bass

The silver nozzle offers a bass response that is balanced and well-controlled. It focuses on the midbass, which extends nicely, providing a deep rumble that adds weight to the music without overwhelming the other frequencies. The midbass is impactful, though not overly punchy, which might appeal to those who prefer a more nuanced bass response. The texture is commendable, offering a well-rounded experience that feels tight and controlled. This nozzle is ideal if you enjoy a bass that’s present but not overpowering, allowing other elements of the music to shine through.

Mids

The mids on the silver nozzle are well-positioned, with sufficient weight to feel substantial, though they sit slightly behind the bass. This positioning gives the overall sound a sense of depth. Vocals, particularly female ones, benefit from a boost in the upper mids, making them energetic and clear. The presentation is lively and articulate, without crossing into harshness or sibilance. Instruments are equally well-treated, with a biting, detailed quality that’s both engaging and natural. The timbre is impressive, maintaining a lifelike quality that’s often hard to achieve in this price range.

Treble

Treble with the silver nozzle is another area where it excels. The lower treble is energetic and detailed, giving the music a crisp, clean edge without becoming aggressive. The upper treble extends well, adding airiness and sparkle to the sound. Cymbal hits and other high-frequency details are rendered with precision, feeling solid without any piercing harshness. This makes the silver nozzle a great choice for those who appreciate detail and clarity in their treble, i call it the classic simgot treble
Technical Performance

From a technical standpoint, the silver nozzle is a standout. The soundstage is well-balanced, offering good width and depth that creates an immersive listening experience. Imaging is precise, allowing you to easily place instruments and vocals within the soundscape. Separation is clean, with each element of the music feeling distinct yet cohesive. Micro details are well-presented, giving you insight into the finer nuances of your tracks. The overall clarity is excellent, with transients feeling sharp and responsive.

Gold Nozzle: Warmth and Smoothness

Bass

Switching to the gold nozzle, the first thing you’ll notice is the increase in bass quantity. The bass feels slightly larger and more punchy compared to the silver nozzle, giving the music a warmer and more solid foundation. However, while the bass is more pronounced, it doesn't have the same level of control and speed as the silver nozzle. This might make the gold nozzle more appealing to those who enjoy a fuller, more impactful bass, even if it comes at the cost of some precision.

Mids

The mids with the gold nozzle are a touch weightier, offering a bit more body to the sound. Vocals are smoother, providing a more laid-back and relaxed presentation compared to the silver nozzle. While this can be pleasant, especially for longer listening sessions, the vocals don’t come across as clear or as defined as they do with the silver nozzle but with the warmth it makes the vocals more natural and with organic sounding timbre. The smoother mids might be more forgiving on tracks that are prone to sibilance or harshness, making the gold nozzle a good option for those who prefer a less forward midrange.

Treble

Treble with the gold nozzle is also smoother and less aggressive. It retains enough detail to keep things interesting but lacks the same level of sparkle and airiness that the silver nozzle provides. This results in a sound that’s easier on the ears, particularly for treble-sensitive listeners, but it might not satisfy those who crave high-frequency detail and extension.

Technical Performance

When it comes to technical performance, the gold nozzle falls slightly behind the silver. Micro details aren’t as pronounced, and the overall clarity takes a slight hit. The soundstage remains decent, but the imaging and separation aren’t as precise or as clean. Transients also feel a bit softer, making the overall sound less immediate and detailed. That said, if you prioritize a smoother, more relaxed listening experience, the gold nozzle could be a better fit for you. i actually prefer the gold nozzle, its the warmth in the mids and the added weight on the bass with the smoothness of the treble just adds to an already musical and immersive sound, suits my playlist well.

In essence, the choice between the two comes down to your personal taste. If you lean towards detail, clarity, and a more balanced sound, the silver nozzle will likely be your go-to. But if you prefer a bit more warmth, with a smoother, more laid-back presentation, the gold nozzle is worth considering.

Final Thoughts

The Simgot EW300 DSP version is a testament to the brand's ability to evolve while staying true to its roots. It takes everything that made the EW100 and EW200 great—fun, musicality, and a well-tuned Harman sound—and adds a layer of refinement that makes it stand out. The EW300 is like the best of both worlds, offering the warmth and bass of the EW series with the detail and clarity more akin to the EA line. It's an IEM that can appeal to a broad audience, whether you're a casual listener or someone who appreciates a bit more technicality in their sound.

In summary, the Simgot EW300 DSP version is a solid choice for anyone looking for a versatile, well-rounded IEM that doesn't compromise on either fun or technical performance. Whether you’re listening through the DSP mode or using a regular 4.4mm cable like I did, the EW300 delivers a satisfying audio experience that's sure to please.
