I tried multiple spots in my base, restarted the game, but unfortunately it did not help. As soon as I place my furnace, the game kicks me.

I recently bought the Xenns Mangird Top Pro second hand. $500 new is just not happening for me right now alongside everything else I'm buying (love this hobby/obsession), so I waited and grabbed one from a seller for about half price. Really wanted a Tea Pro SE, but saw the ad for this one and pulled the trigger. Ran it with mostly alternative rock, a ton of EDM and a bit of orchestral mixed in. My DAP is a Shanling M1+ and when I'm on my phone I run a Snowsky Melody dongle.

Quick facts

- Xenns Mangird Top Pro, $499 new, picked up second hand for half that
- 10-driver hybrid (2 dynamics + 8 BAs)
- 16Ω, 103dB, easy to drive
- 0.78mm 2-pin
- Bought myself, no copy approval, no one asked me to write this

☣️About the cable (quick warning)

This will sound weird, bear with me. I have a parfume allergy. When the package came in and I opened the plastic baggy the cable was in, the aftershave smell from the seller was so strong my face blew up. Like swollen face, watery eyes, the whole thing. That cable is staying in the bag forever, probably going in the bin. So I cant tell you anything about how the original cable feels or sounds.

I grabbed an Open Heart cable with 4.4mm balanced jack and ran the IEMs from that the whole time. Works fine, looks fine, no complaints from me.

Box and accessories

The leather case is genuinely one of the better ones I've handled at any price. Inside it: a suede pouch, a 3.5 to 6.35mm adapter, an IEM clip, a brush. Nine pairs of silicone tips across three bore types plus a foam pair. Even second hand the box still feels like flagship presentation for $500. Cant comment on the cable for reasons above.

The seller said he never really used it, so I'm using the tips that were in the box. My reasoning: he probably didn't use EVERY single tip, so I'm forcing myself to believe he didn't use the exact tips I'm using right now. I did wash them beforehand, of course. I'm not that brave.

Build and fit

The shells are made from 3D-printed resin with a colorful faceplate with gold "Mangird" script. The faceplate is hard to describe (best to just check out the photos I added), but they remind me of pretty sea shells. It is loud though. If you want understated this is not it.

You can see the dual dynamics through the semi-translucent shell, which is a nice touch.

One thing that bugs me.. shells feel hollow when you hold them. Light, sure, but I dont trust them on a tile drop. So handling with care is mandatory. Using the case religiously because of that.

Fit is fine for my medium ears, and once seated it stays put. The nozzle is chonky enough that I had a moment of pause sliding it in the first time, and this set really wants a deep seal to do its thing. Stock tips are OK for me, currently running the "balanced" ones, might tip-roll later but havent yet.

Isolation is average. Not a commute set (!!).

Overall Sound

Sub-bass forward, mid-bass thinner (?) than I expected from a 2-DD setup, mids forward and revealing especially on female vocals, treble with bite and sparkle. Stage is wide and tall and surprisingly out-of-head, but detail is the real headline here. I heard stuff in tracks I've been listening to for years that I just hadn't tracked before, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Did not dissappoint!

Bass

Sub-bass goes deep and stays clean. On bass drops and cinematic stuff you feel the air moving, not just thump.

Mid-bass is the weak point on this set. Kick drums hit, but they hit tight and quick rather than slamming. Not a lot of body or weight here. If you came for warm thick fun, this isnt it.

Mids

Male vocals have proper body to my ears. Female vocals though.. that is the strongest part of this IEM, full stop. Forward and smooth, slightly ethereal in character. There's a closeness to vocals here that I dont usually get at my avarage-person-price-point.

Treble

Energetic is the word that comes to mind, cymbals and snare crack come through with bite. At moderate volumes its fine, but crank it and the upper end starts to fatigue quick. Never hit actual sibilance for me, though I can see it happening on the wrong tip.

Stage and imaging

This is where the "giant killer" framing earns it. Wide and tall with decent depth, and a couple times I pulled the IEMs out to check if a sound was coming from inside the apartment or from inside my head. Imaging is near-pinpoint and separation on dense passages holds up clean, layered rock tracks dont smear at all. If anything the stage sometimes makes things feel TOO spaced out (if that makes sense).

Genres

Rock works great here, layered guitars sit without smearing and sub-bass keeps the double kick grounded. EDM with sub-bass focus (DnB, ambient electronic, modern techno) lands really well too, but genres that lean more on mid-bass thump feel under-served, because thats the leanest part of the FR.

Classical I have to be honest about, I didnt do a deep session. Technical traits (wide stage, sharp imaging) suggest it should work and the little bit I tried lined up with that, but treat this section as extra, dont make your buying decision on it please.

Gaming

Cinematic single-player is where this shines for me (Dune, Silent Hill f), wide stage and sub-bass authority just suit immersive content really well.

Competitive FPS is more mixed. Imaging precision helps with directional cues for sure, but sub-bass focus is not really the typical FPS-tuned signature, so if competitive shooters are your main thing, look elsewhere.

Long sessions are fine at moderate volumes, 3+ hours no problem. If you play loud the upper treble will start biting after a couple hours.

Source notes

Easy to drive. Off the M1+ at home and the Snowsky Melody on the phone I never got hiss, no power issues either. High sensitivity does mean dirty noisy sources will hiss audibly though, so the cleaner the better. Bright edgy sources push the upper treble harder and make the fatigue thing worse, so a clean-to-slightly-warm chain is what works here. M1+ is on the warmer side of neutral and pairs really nice with this set.

Verdict

Strengths: detail and resolution genuinely flexes against more expensive sets, wide stage that almost feels out-of-head, pinpoint imaging, forward female vocals.

Weaknesses: lean mid-bass that wont satisfy thump-and-slam listeners, treble fatigue when you crank it, hiss-prone on dirty sources, hollow-feeling shells.

This is my main set right now. It's also the most expensive (to date).

Already had the EW200 and was generally happy with it, but the EW300 kept popping up on my feed and the swappable nozzle thing finally got me. $69. Here's where I'm at after a few weeks of daily use.

Quick facts

• Driver: 1DD + 1 planar + 1 PZT
• Price: $69, paid out of pocket
• Cable: stock
• Nozzles tested: silver and gold
• Tips: stock for one day, then swapped to wide-bore silicones

No one asked me to write this. Just impressions from someone who keeps buying Simgot stuff.

Build and fit

Same resin and metal style as the EW200, slightly heavier. Fits me well, no hot spots over long sessions. Nozzle is on the short side, which matters for the tips part below.

Stock cable is fine. Doesnt tangle, doesnt microphone, leaving it on is fine (I swapped it with a 4.4mm more balanced jack)

Stock tips: skip them

You get one set of semi-wide-bore silicones in S/M/L. The tips themselves arent bad, but you get exactly one option and the EW300's nozzle is short, so getting a good seal is a hassle. Had to swap on day two.

Wide-bore silicones tightened things up and added definition over stock. Foam tips also work if the upper treble is bothering you, kinda cheats the brightness down at the cost of some sparkle. General rule with this set: longer or wider-bore tips compensate for the short nozzle and let the bass do its thing.

Sound profile

Warm-leaning mild V-shape. Bass has actual punch and quick recovery. Mids stay smooth because of the planar. Treble has bite without going full ice-pick most of the time. I'd call this neutral-warm rather than bright, which is a bit of a departure from what I expected from Simgot. Fun signature. Not reference.

Music

Rock holds up. Double-kick stays defined, vocals push forward enough to cut through the mix, cymbals have presence without turning shrill. Throw on Mezzanine and the bass lines stay textured instead of bleeding into the lower mids.

Electronic is where I think these earn their price. Bass recovers fast enough to keep up with busy drum programming, and the planar plus piezo on top keeps detail uncluttered when there's a lot of synth activity stacked. Sub-bass digs deep enough that you FEEL it, doesnt dominate.

Nozzles for music

Silver stays in about 90% of the time for me. More sparkle, more upper-mid push, vocals come forward. Gold tones down the upper region and warms things up. Fine for late-night quieter listening, but for daily use it pulls too much air out of the mix for my taste.

Gaming

Gaming surprised me. Footsteps and positional cues are clean for a $69 set, and the stage is wider than I expected going in. Never lost the location of anything during a few hours of FPS.

For gaming the nozzle choice flips. Gold actually makes sense here. Simgot markets it as the gaming nozzle and I get why now. Smoother treble means hours of gunfire dont fry your ears, and the slightly thicker bass adds weight to explosions without smearing the positional info. For long competitive sessions I genuinely prefer gold. For single-player story stuff I leave silver in because the wider stage and extra detail are more immersive.

Comparisons

Only own the EW200, so thats the one I can talk about firsthand. The EW300 is warmer and fuller, with better-defined bass. The EW200 has more air up top and a bigger stage, so its not a clean upgrade, more of a sidegrade with a different flavor. If you have the EW200 and like the brightness, the EW300 might feel a bit closed-in at first listen.

Beyond that, Im going off Reddit consensus and graphs. People put it against the Kiwi Ears Cadenza (EW300 generally wins for non-bassheads), the Letshuoer S08 (similar warm tilt), and Simgot's own SuperMix 4 (just a better set, also more than double the price). For $69 it punches up.

Verdict

If you want a fun, warm-leaning V-shape for electronic and rock, this is worth the $69. The nozzle system isnt a gimmick, gold works for gaming and silver for music. If you're a treblehead or already love the EW200's air, this one is gonna feel a bit polite up top, just so you know.

Keeping mine in rotation. Stock tips can go in the bin.
