GATE Dynamic Driver in-Ear Headphone 3.5mm Interchangeable Headphone Cable Headphone (White, with mic)

The Truthear Gate IEMs are budget-friendly in-ear monitors priced around $20. They feature a 10mm dynamic driver with a carbon LCP diaphragm. I feel these have a comfortable fit, good tonal balance (aligned with Harman target tuning), and clean sound quality. While not exceptional in technical performance, they are should be considered a solid choice for their price range.The Truthear Gate IEMs have a light V-shaped sound signature. This means they offer a slight emphasis on the bass and treble regions, while maintaining a relatively neutral midrange. The sub-bass is enhanced, adding depth and a touch of fun, while the midrange remains clean and spacious with a hint of brightness in the upper mids. The treble is inoffensive, providing clarity and detail without being harsh.Here's a breakdown:- Driver: 10mm dynamic driver with a carbon LCP diaphragm.- Sound Signature: Light V-shaped, with enhanced sub-bass, clean mids, and smooth treble.- Frequency Response: 10 Hz to 45 kHz.- Impedance: 28Ω, making them easy to drive.- Sensitivity: 122 dB, ensuring good volume levels even with low-power sources.- Build: Clear acrylic faceplates with a lightweight design for comfort.- Cable: Detachable 2-pin 0.78mm OFC cable.- Accessories: Includes six pairs of silicone eartips and a vinyl carrying pouch.The Truthear Gate IEMs are a budget-friendly option with a solid set of features and performance. I feel they have a good clarity and detail retrieval, though the treble can feel slightly dry, and the lower mids may lack some body.

Great value for the money; Treble is maybe a hair forward. Bsss is clean and present without being overdone, but slightly splattering on Self Love and a little muddy on GTIG. Slight occlusion effect with silence. Good reproduction and detail; a tiny bit of warble on the treble on some tracks. Good right-to left soundstage, no rotation. Great male vocals, female too. Both stand out with the mids and have correct timbre. Layer seperation is good, not great.I really like the ways these look, with the unconventional transparent shell They feel like cheap plastic, and the cable is strangely plasticky if reasonably nicely braided for this price point. Overall, nice unit for $20.

Seem well enough made. Sound really fantastic. Quite a bargain. You will need to try the different size tips for your ears as it is essential to get a good seal or they may lack bass. Easy to play without needing a powerful source. Clear, clean transparent sound. Sound quality equal to some $250 over ear phones I have.

Very comfortable, sounds great without any Eq on an H2 .

I was blown away by the quality of these 20 dollar IEMs. I was skeptical at first switching from traditional gaming headsets to these and man was it worth it, the sound these IEMs produce for the price is AMAZING. For music they are also really good. I might end up buying the blues in a future but overall, great product, great packaging and great quality and value per dollar.

All plastic design, beautiful cable, non-braided cable, and good semi-molded shape means this is a comfort king which can be worn for even double digit hours and remain comfortable.The sound signature isn't perfect as other reviews here and YouTube suggest. However, the sound signature isn't awful by any means and pure comfort is still an important market to hit, especially in the budget IEM space (great for gaming).I would prefer Truthear to return this budget model to the tuning of the Hola. That would be the perfect budget IEM, so this gets 4/5.

I purchased the Truthear Gate twice. The first time, I bought it just to use its cable., but when I gave it a listen, I found it to be a fantastic sounding and fitting IEM. It feels like a cheap toy, but it sounds fabulous. I gave this pair to my sister because her Anker wireless headphones were on the fritz. I also gave her my Letshuoer Galileo (a $100 or $130? IEM) and she either prefers the Gate, or has no clear preference between the two. I prefer the Gate as the Galileo literally would not fit in my ear.Deciding that $15 was a worthy price to pay for such a good IEM (and a good cable), I bought a second unit and I went to listen to it to refresh my memory on what it sounds like. When I pulled it out the packaging, the nozzle just... Fell off as if it were never connected to the rest of the earpiece to begin with.The cable is great, though!

In general I feel very pleased with these iems.Sound quality is great, better than other more expensive iems with a balanced profile.Yes, they feel cheap, but they are well made. I had a pair of kz prior to these which I had to keep fixing since the first week because every part would just fall off at a certain point.At this point in time, these are the price king.
