The Simgot EM6L are quite frankly the best thing I've ever heard. They have some of the smoothest treble of any IEM regardless of price and are tuned extremely well for a fun, dynamic, V-shaped sound.
The Simgot EM6L has a few advantages over the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 Ohm. For one, it has more sub bass, smoother treble, and it isolates the sound. Although the Simgot EM6L lacks some musical sparkle in the highs, it has a more polished sound as if you were in a somewhat dampened room eliminating some airiness. Since these are closed back IEMs that isolate the sound the effect is fine. I do wish the Simgot EM6L had slightly less 4kHz but I stopped noticing it fairly quickly after using them so it didn't turn into long term fatigue.
Try this EQ preset to make Simgot EM6L more bright open and airy and have punchier mid bass:
The Simgot EM6L are great for isolated studio monitoring as we can see here VS the very popular Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250 Ohm that has many cuts throughout the frequency response coloring and fatiguing the sound:
I overlook the Simgot EA500 LM way too much. Secretly, to me it has a better response in some ways than the Simgot EM6L. The Simgot EA500 LM is tuned like an improved Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Ohm Pro which is my favorite headphone. The Simgot EA500 LM has thinner midbass making the deep sub bass punchy as hell. There is also added shimmer in the air like on the Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Ohm Pro for musical sparkle. Secretly, but not anymore. This is the most musical audio gear I have with all the trimmings. The upper mids and treble is a little shouty and lumpy but not to a terrible degree. This thing comes with additional nozzles that change the tuning. Keep the stock nozzle on it IMHO.
Some backing evidence why air sparkle and midbass scooping sounds good too.
Simgot EA500 LM is better tuned and smoother than the Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Ohm Pro with fresh pads. However, once the pads are worn, the Simgot EA500 LM is noticeably more shouty and fatiguing around 5.5kHz than the Beyerdynamic DT990 250 Ohm Pro. One saving grace for Simgot EA500 LM is EQ literally does fix it.
When it comes to choosing the Simgot EA500 LM or the Simgot EM6L I think it comes down to two things. The Simgot EM6L is smoother and more transparent sounding in the treble. The Simgot EA500 LM is a little more exciting with more high treble and air sparklier brightness as well as a little punchier scooped mid bass. However, the Simgot EA500 LM is noticeably more lumpy, shouty, and colored in the highs. Simgot EA500 LM for musical fun if you can handle the shouty fatigue and Simgot EM6L for critical listening and smoother more relaxed listening! EM6L is my choice for sure because it lacks the shouty fatigue.
The Simgot EA1000 is basically the exact same as the EA500 LM except maybe even lumpier in the treble. The additional nozzles do nothing of value to change or improve the tone so that's just something to waste your time with as usual when they add tuning gimmicks:
Bunch of lumpy shouty fatiguing junk and others agree of course:
