Simgot’s back again with a new IEM! This time, a quadbrid for only $149 and we’re all looking closely on whether they can keep up the pace from last years banger releases!
The one thing that Simgot has definitely downgraded (biased, of course) in is the box. I do not like this green shade and it does not fit their branding at all. The x-ray vision of the SM4 is a nice addition and is the one thing in their packaging that has stayed consistent.
Accessory-wise, we’re getting the usual Simgot barebone inclusions with their spacious oblong carrying pouch, 07 style tips and some paperwork along with the cable and IEM.
The Supermix 4 feels very similar to the EM6L in a sense that it feels cheap. Despite the metal faceplate, the Supermix 4 is definitely not a contender for build quality at $150. What it is a contender is fit. The fit of the SM4 is arguably one of the best that Simgot has to offer with a slightly contoured inner shell and a rather decent size for my ears. Despite being a quadbrid, I also did not experience any air pressure build up or driver flex which is a massive plus.
The cable deserves special mention because this is one of the stock cables I’ve seen bundled with an IEM under $150. Obviously, modularity would have made this the best, but they’re fantastic. They remind me of the cables that come with the Galileo and DZ4 which are also some of my favorite stock cables.
Sound wise, this is arguably the least Simgot-sounding IEM while still retaining the qualities that make Simgot products amazing. The SM4 has a slight u-shaped sound signature with a rather generous subbass boost. And when I say generous, I mean it goes very deep and kicks pretty hard when the track calls for it. This is the bassier Simgot by far and in turn makes it the most fun. The lower mids were surprisingly well-bodied with decent note weight despite the Harman tone that simgot advertized. The upper mids also don’t sound too forward and are placed in the mix in a relatively realistic yet still engaging manner. And of course, we can’t talk about Simgot without talking about the treble. Just like the EM6L, the Supermix 4 has a very smooth, clean but crisp treble without any harshness or sibilance. It’s definitely tamer than the Simgot IEMs that came before it, but still maintains a very detailed and technical sound. The two gripes I have so far is that bass texturing is mediocre and the very slight BA timbre on certain tracks. It goes deep and hits hard, but texture and punch are lacking especially in the midbass. But other than that, it’s the best all-rounder Simgot set released by far!
