Exploring Linsoul IEMs, Quick-Hit Reviews: Yanyin Canon II, Simphonio P20, Kiwi Ears Forteza, Simgot EA500LM

Welcome back to another edition of Exploring Linsoul IEMs, where we present a selection of IEMs in quick-hit review format, getting you the information you need to know quickly, courtesy of Linsoul. Today, we’re looking at two budget sets, one mid-range set, and another from the upper mid-range: the Simgot EA500LM, Kiwi Ears Forteza, Shozy P20, and the Yanyin Canon II. If you’re looking for the brass tacks of what’s worth your audio upgrade dollars, look no further. You’ve come to the right place. 

The Exploration Begins Again — What Is It?

As a tech reviewer, I’m lucky enough to try lots of different gear. I’m also an audiophile, so the prospect of trying different headphones and earphones is always exciting to me. Often, these products get full 1,800+ word reviews where we dive deep. But, as I looked over the “to be reviewed” pile, I decided to take a different approach to get this content to you faster in a “straight to the point” format.

I have two goals with this series. First off, to share neat products that might resonate with you. My hope is always to share something that might enhance your life and to help warn you off of things that won’t. Second, it’s to cut through a lot of the “extras” that would leave you waiting on these reviews for weeks into the future. We’re going to look at different products and get right down to it: how do they sound, what makes them special, and are they worth picking up for yourself.

This series won’t replace full reviews. We’ll still do those for the majority of audio gear. But with the holiday season upon us, these shorter mini-reviews may help you to find the perfect gift for a loved one, or a treat for yourself, without having to wait so long to get that information. We’re gamers. We’re music and entertainment lovers. That’s the angle we take with our reviews and we’re proud to be one of the few outlets that covers this tech with both viewpoints in mind. 

With that said, let’s start with the reviews!
