Disclosure: The EW300 was provided by Simgot for this review. Please read more about our product review disclosure here.

The IEM audio industry continues to expand its boundaries, yet rarely does a product make you pause and truly pay attention. The Simgot EW300 is one of those products. This isn’t just about its sharp and premium looks, but about the ambitious tribrid driver configuration, combining three distinct driver technologies in a single shell.

As well, Simgot included two different tuning nozzles. This bold approach distinguishes it from other hybrid IEM setups. Let me walk you through everything – from the unboxing experience and construction quality to the fit and sound characteristics, so you can see if these unique in-ear monitors are worth your time and money.

Note that there are three different editions of the EW300: Standard, HBB, and DSP. I will be looking only at the Standard edition for this review.

• Simgot EM6L
• Set of S, M, L silicone ear tips
• Silver-plated OFC 3.5mm cable
• O-rings
• Nozzle foam
• Gold and silver tuning nozzles (silver nozzles pre-installed)
• Travel case
• Manual

I am truly a fan of the box design for Simgot products. Using a slightly reflective and shimmery material with minimalistic artwork, the box looks and feels mysterious, encouraging you to open it. The included accessories are on the basic side, with a single set of S, M, L silicone ear tips, detachable gold and silver nozzles (silver is installed by default), O-rings for the nozzles, nozzle foam, a 3.5mm cable, and a travel case.

The cable is rather nice. It’s on the stiffer side and is able to retain its shape easily. It’s on the softer side and the black and silver color combination looks great, especially when paired with the IEMs.

The Simgot EW300’s build quality makes a strong first impression. Its all-metal housing uses precision CNC technology with high-density alloy that feels solid and premium. The mirror-plating finish looks stunning, but it does pick up fingerprints easily. It feels slightly weighty as well. From its looks to the feeling of it in your hand when you pick it up, you’d never guess this IEM is under $100 USD.

The sort of thing I love about the EW300’s design is how Simgot fitted three distinct drivers into such a compact body. Each shell has a visual element machined into the faceplate. A Heart design on the right and an X design on the left, help the EW300 look unique while keeping a clean aesthetic. The 2-pin connectors are slightly recessed as well.

The nozzle length is slightly shorter than average, which fits me just fine, but might be an issue for some. The EW300 looks to have a bit of a different ergonomic design than the resin shell ones, but I had no issue getting a good seal or comfortable fit. Just note that, since the shells are composed of a metal alloy, they will get cold in cold temperatures, so be aware or you will be in for a cold surprise.

The nozzles are detachable and can be removed and reattached with ease. Nozzle foam and O-rings are included, so you have everything you need to adjust the tuning between the silver and gold nozzles. Being able to adjust the tuning of the IEMs is rather unique, and I appreciate that Simgot allows us to do this.

The Simgot EW300 features a tribrid driver design, combining three different driver types into its shell. The tribrid system consists of a 10mm ceramic-like diaphragm dynamic driver for bass and vocals, a 6mm magnetic planar driver, and a custom piezoelectric driver to handle the higher frequencies. These drivers go together to theoretically create a cohesive sound signature.

The EW300 is fairly easy to drive, but I did notice I had to turn the volume up more than I thought I’d need to. This doesn’t mean you need an amp to power them, even a basic dongle DAC will be fine, just be aware they need a bit more volume to sound great.

Ok, so how does the EW300 actually sound? In short, it sounds amazing. They give a lot of detail for a $70 IEM and provide what I would classify as a balanced sound signature, despite the somewhat U-shape of the sound profile. Timbre sometimes sounds slightly off, or unnatural, most likely due to the planar driver. I really didn’t notice it most of the time though, and it’s considerably more toned down than something like the Kiwi Ears Canta in this regard.

All of the following sound observations are to be considered for the silver nozzle unless otherwise stated.

Bass

The bass performance really shows what the 10mm dynamic driver can do. It’s tight, fast, and brings a good amount of energy. I’d describe it as quality with a good amount of quantity. There’s decent extension so you can feel the rumble when it’s called for, and it’s overall fun sounding. The gold nozzle gives you a bit more fun if that’s what you’re after, but both nozzles have clean, full-sounding bass if you have a good seal.

Midrange

The midrange might be the best part of the EW300. The planar driver really shines here and delivers a smooth, silky sound that works beautifully with vocals. Both male and female voices sound incredibly natural with great texture. The silver nozzle pushes vocals forward ever so slightly, and with the gold nozzle, they are slightly recessed. Use this knowledge wisely.

There is no hotness or tinniness from the piezoelectric driver, somehow Simgot found a way to solve that. The upper mids are not shouty or sibilant and have excellent separation with lots of detail. I could keep going on here, but I really love the mids of the EW300. Nothing to complain about here.

Treble

The treble hits a sweet spot for me between detail and comfort. Using my testing playlist, I noticed the high frequencies stay smooth and easy on the ears while retaining all the fine details. The piezoelectric driver avoids that harsh brightness that you often get with hybrid IEMs.

You can clearly hear each instrument with enough air and sparkle to create a realistic soundstage, without any sibilance or harshness. The gold nozzles add even more smoothness to the treble, which is a bit too much for my preference. They kind of suck the fun and energy out of the treble for me. Stick with the silver nozzles and you’ll find it’s more balanced, go with the gold for an easier listening experience.

Soundstage and Imaging

The soundstage has great height and width, and average depth performance. I found them to be very accurate spatially and create a realistic special environment. Imaging is also very good here, and listening to audio that implements binaural recording you can really tell how well Simgot did with the technicalities on the EW300. Play a video game like Soma, or listen to some Pink Floyd or John Frusciante’s The Empyrean and you’ll see what I mean.  

Gaming

The EW300 surprised me as a gaming companion. The silver nozzles worked really well for non-competitive and competitive games. Open-world environments sound expansive and immersive, and FPS shooters also perform well. Footstops and weapon fire are accurately and cleanly portrayed. I found the gold nozzle to be a bit better for competitive gaming due to the slightly smoother treble and energized bass.

The Simgot EW300 has blown me away with its performance at this price point. The tribrid driver setup shines in music, gaming, and multimedia. The build quality feels premium, and the balanced sound profile, especially that of the silver nozzle, really is hard to beat.

The EW300’s versatility really sets it apart as it can handle everything from classical music, EDM, and rap, to grunge and rock with ease. The sound quality is simply outstanding. The fact that you can modify the tuning with the gold nozzle is also a bonus and gives you a lot of flexibility in fine tuning the sound you want to listen to.

This EW300 brings together technical prowess and everyday usability beautifully. The shorter nozzle does mean you’ll need to play around with different tips to get the best fit, but still, the overall package delivers amazing value that’s tough to beat at this price. Good job Simgot! This is my new favorite everyday IEM.
