Simgot EA1000 is the reborn of legendary mathematician Fermat who solved a theory not solved for 500 years. It is not following the usual switches based easy strategy. The tuning rings, replaceable nozzles, and replaceable cable are its gifts or hardships to shape the sound to your liking.
Box, Simgot EA1000, Cable
The box is purple in color, almost like the other Simgots, save EN2R or EN700’s. There is nothing to note here. But the real clever thinking begins after you get rid of the outer box. Expecting less from Simgot and the mathematician (Pierre de Fermat) devoted to IEM would be futile.
It has a compact form and an air-grilled facade, reminiscent of a radiator. Like the EA500, it has three interchangeable nozzles in both silver and gold. Plus 3 different tuning rings. I find myself thinking of Letshuoer’s cable due to the similarity in appearance; a silvery ribbon is braided over the main cable, and the whole thing is very shiny.
Simgot EA1000 Sound
The sound is expansive and open overall. It is like being at a concert when listening to live music. The music sounds clear and organized, not muddy or mixed up, thanks to the instruments and sounds being well-separated. You may switch out the nozzles and eartips that come with the earphones to customize the sound to your preference. For the price, the Simgot EA1000 Fermat earphones offer exceptional performance. The bass is strong and punchy, especially when used in electronic music and bass guitar, which gives the playback a lively rhythm. Live tracks feel roomy and well-balanced because of the spacious and open soundstage. Flute, violin, and keyboard sounds are fluid and natural in opera rock genres; even with the addition of rock instruments, the sound does not get muddy; the layers are clearly defined. The earphones are able to preserve distinct instrument separation that is on par with over $300 IEMs.
Bass
When I listened to the Simgot EA1000 Fermat, the bass immediately caught my attention. It’s strong and clear. In electronic songs, the bass is punchy and makes me feel the beat, adding energy to the music. It’s powerful but not overwhelming, making the songs feel lively and engaging.
Midrange
The midrange is clear and detailed. Instruments like flutes and keyboards sound natural and full of life. When electric guitars come in, they stand out, capturing the excitement and energy of the music. Every instrument is well-defined, making the music sound rich and layered. And the new proprietary techniques it is using are great for the tonalities of experienced singers such as Madonna. Her silky vocal is flowing seamlessly and carrying many tonalities even in a sentence.
Treble
The treble in these earphones is sharp and clear. High notes in songs stand out but aren’t too piercing or harsh. Details in the music are easy to hear, making each song feel more intricate and engaging.
Nozzle and Ring Rolling
Golden Nozzle (with the white tuning rings)
WOW! The absence of the black dampener resulted in phenomenal enhancements. Soundstage enlarged, layering enhanced, resolution got higher, vocals became nearer, and details boosted up. I gotta admit that I had expected the other way around. However, truth be told, the overall playback experience leaned towards analytical. Brighter by a pinch,dryer a little bit, a bit duller, less thumpy. All these were my observations. I prefer the OG nozzle with the red tuning ring. But let’s see what the red tuning brings to the table, huh?
The results of black rings are missing, but I know they’d add more low end to the playback.
Golden Nozzle (with red tuning rings)
The dampener sponge is still missing, but the white one was replaced with the red tuning ring. I am not observing anything analytical. Soundstage is arguably wider than the white ring, layering is still good, resolution is slightly behind the white ringed result, vocals are somehow distanced, and I feel like everything is balanced across the board now, with upper trebles tamed down. However, the trumpet is how it sounds with the golden nozzle – red ring. I know it is puzzling to accept tuning ring effects, as there is not any noticeable difference between them aesthetically, but there had to be; otherwise, I wouldn’t hear different playbacks from the same tracks.
Comparisons
vs BQEYZ Wind
The soundstage is obviously wider yet darker in timbre. Layering is better. Basses are less thumpy. Trumpet isn’t so trumpety at its playback 🙂 And the sax isn’t ear piercing on my treble reference track, You’ve Got To Have Freedom. The EA1000 had that wicked power when supplied with power enough for 70/100 volume. The overall playback is professionally smooth and wider. But my pick would be the EA1000 to enjoy all the chaotic sounding, yet mesmerizing background after the sax solo intro of the very same track.
vs Simgot EA500
Given the same power level as the EA1000 (dx320 H gain), the lil’ boy EA500 is displaying its potential. And it may sound great to an everyday listener. But it has considerable shortcomings when compared to the latest iem of Simgot, like the narrow soundstage, having a hard time portraying the background, bleeding basses, recessed vocals, thinner playback, and weakness in 3D imaging, plus many other small details I won’t be covering.
vs Simgot EM6L
While EM6L is the star of the hundreds show, thanks to its tuning, it has a very spacious soundstage; the EA1000’s ethereal sound production is a definite plus. EM6L fails to portray the math rock’s chaotic moments. And it carries a crispy signature, diminishing upper trebles and reducing the body of the playback. The EA1000 has the upper hand in that area, as it doesn’t let trebles become harsh and keeps every instrument apart from each other. And finally, the EM6L requires more power than the EA1000.
Simgot EA1000 Fermat Review Conclusions
When played through Simgot EA1000 Fermat, a piece of music takes on a sound that is vivid and captivating. Because of the good playback capacity, listeners are able to fully appreciate the depth and vitality of each track, which is one of the reasons why the EA1000 is a worthwhile purchase. My experience with the Simgot EA1000 Fermat has made me feel as though I am part of a sonic symphony in which every note and nuance rings true to the intent of the composer. It is more than simply listening to music; rather, it is exploring the various terrains of sound and vocals with a guide who possesses a natural grasp of the musical language.

Could you please clarify. The sentences for Wind: “The soundstage is obviously wider yet darker in timbre. Layering is better. Basses are less thumpy…” are they about Wind or EA1000?
It was about the Wind.
