Come with me today as I take a look at the Simgot EA2000 “Boson”, a $320 single DD set from Simgot that features 2 intriguing technologies. A passive radiator, akin to my recently reviewed DZ4, and tunable jacks. You heard that right, not nozzle, not switches, not filters. Tunable jacks. We’ll see if the Simgot is all bark no bite with all these interesting features or can it prove that some gimmicks work. Let’s find out!

Thank you to Fia Lam of Simgot for providing this IEM for my fellow reviewers and I to review.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
- Absolutely bombastic unboxing presentation for the price
- Somewhat less bombastic inclusions and accessories
- Fantastic build quality with a rather beautiful faceplate
- MMCX connector
- “Modular tunable” jack but only features 4.4mm and two 3.5mm
- Fun, Bright V-Shaped sound signature
- Full bodied, punchy but tight bass that lacks a little bit of texture
- Recessed, occasionally thin but still decently articulate midrange
- Forward, detailed and bright treble presentation
- Surprisingly expansive stage and crisp imaging, paired with decent separation and layering
To me, the EA2000 has 3 standout features. Firstly, the EA2000s are certainly a treblehead’s dream. The overall treble presentation is so sparkly and bright with so much microdetails, it’ll tickle your ears. The other standout of the EA2000 is its bass presentation. Maybe its the passive radiator doing its magic, but the bass sounds well-bodied while remaining tight and well-defined. Lastly, the stage and imaging capabilities of the EA2000 are absolutely wonderful. It’s borderline holographic, but not quite there yet. Pair that and the amazing unboxing experience that is rich with detail, personality, and quality makes the EA2000 truly a set worth its asking price just from the experience alone.
However, the EA2000 does fall into a rather niche category that, admittedly, only those who really like this kind of sound signature will REALLY like. The elephant in the room here is that treble response. It is bright. So bright that on my first listen, I was almost overwhelmed with the amount of treble as I had been spending time with sets with tamer treble. Its V-Shaped nature also means that there is a considerable recession in the mids, although not as bad as some V-shaped sets out there, that might turn people off. The fact that it is also an MMCX could be a dealbreaker for some, although I do know that there are those who prefer this connector over 2-pin. Lastly, I do find that it’s not the most resolving IEM as I find that notes have a smoother than accentuated edge to them.
An odd set top to bottom, the EA2000 was an absolute delight for my treblehead ears. I loved how sparkly this set was, although I do admit it’s a bit of a niche for those who are specifically looking for a treble-centric set. But with how magnificent the unboxing is along with the interesting inclusions of a passive radiator and tuning plugs, the EA2000 makes itself out to be a unique set from looks to sound.
Stay tuned for the full review!
