Design and build quality
Simgot EM6L only comes in one colour which is a glossy black faceplate accompanied by a subtle Simgot logo in gold. Simgot says the housings are made from 3D printed resin and the faceplate black mirror CNC processed faceplate. Build quality feels good, it is lightweight but no elements of the IEM feel inferior.
Design wise, the Simgot EM6L is one more the more minimal looking IEMs I have tested to date. It is a very simple plain black mirror finish. For those who prefer a less shouty design will appreciate this simple and understated design.
The included cable is a silver-plated cable that feels high quality, and good for its price. Compared to the stock cable of the similarly priced Kiwi Ears Quartet, I find the cable of the Simgot EM6L to be much better as it untangles faster and has a convenient chin slider. It is worth noting that the 2-pin plastic connector housings are angled which ideally offer better fit, but it could also create challenges on different ear shapes.
Comfort and fit
The Simgot EM6L is a relatively smaller sized IEM compared to the likes of a Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite, but the fit in my ears isn’t as refined. This ultimately boils down to ear shapes, so your experience might vary. I was only able to get a good fit with the ‘Large’ sized ear tips, where the Simgot EM6L was able to stay in my ears and provide a good seal.
The is could be because there isn’t as much curves on the inner side of the IEM as compared to Orchestra Lite and Hype 2, so the ear tips will be the one doing the heavy lifting on fitting well in my ears. With the ‘Large’ ear tips, the fit is unobtrusive and light – good for extended periods of listening.
Sound quality
Sub-bass on the Simgot EM6L has distinct elevation to offer a deep impact on kick drums. There is a satisfying rumble that is thick, but kept relatively well controlled. Mid-bass isn’t as pronounced as sub-bass. This tuning of the low end helps to infuse a layer of smoothness and warmth.
Midrange offers a natural sounding vocals rich with body, giving an intimate feel to it. Lower midrange is more prominent here, so female vocals can feel less vibrant at times. But it is overall still a well-balanced presence that creates a soothing listening experience. Treble is smooth with enough extension and sparkle to deliver vibrancy to the overall mix. There is no sibilance on the Simgot EM6L, making it great for long listening sessions, or anyone who prefers more laid-back highs.
Soundstage is wide, with precise imaging making it great to use for gaming especially those that relies heavily on audio cues. Vertical space you get on the Simgot EM6L is quite impressive at its price point.
Conclusion
The Simgot EM6L offers a pleasant sound signature that is hard to go wrong with – impactful bass, natural sounding mids, and smooth highs for a soothing listen. If you prefer a brighter sound then the Simgot EM6L may not be that suited. But if you enjoy the Harman tuning which has a mid-bass boost, then this sound signature is for you. Also, if you play Valorant or Counter Strike, the Simgot EM6L could very well be used for gaming as well.
