A browser reset just ate my draft and I just want to get this second half finished with. The molded cable/hook around the ear and larger housing for the speaker/driver allows for significantly better ear seal thus more definition. However the same changes from older style earbuds also improve the overall space more than two-three electrical lumps hanging without major securing. The Simgot also blocks out noise better which seems to be what most people desire, with a mild cost of cable noise being more noticeable but it's a fair trade compared to the tragically necessary complexity of wireless buds.

Tried doing an A/B EQ test but the sound quality is actually so much more developed compared to the 80's-spec Sony 7506's that the only thing that can be notable are just the subbass and treble which seem to mostly be the design limitations of cheap IEMs with simpler designs than the Simgot Supermix or Moondrop Variations. And no, I will not buy Moondrop Variations or anything over $100 again, that tier of product is not worth it even for a "prosumer" type of target market that most of these seem to be aiming for, as showcased by the weirdly high amount of influencer collaborations for such a new niche. This is actually why I first considered Simgot and Tanchjim over other companies and brands, as those two didn't need to slap a random Youtuber's name and face on a box to sell more.

So the Simgot EW100P "Shark" was just an unconditional improvement from similarly priced JVC or Skullcandy products, and it seems like most of the budget IEMs are at least on par or better than the old studio standby headphones. May purchase more for other purposes. Photos coming Soon™.
