TRUTHEAR 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.

They sound amazing, arrives in nice package with all size tips, the wire is fine but reading reviews I replaced with the tripowin and I think is more comfortable than the original ones, has a very nice and practical case with magnetic closing

Amazing, but stock tips have a thin sidewall so might not fit well. I use the Dunu S&S tips and they seal much better. If you hear upper mids that sound thin or borderline shouty, it's not the IEMs, your not getting a complete seal. These are reference quality with such low distortion measured at Audiosciencereview I can't believe they sell for peanuts. Sound isolation is not great with the plastic shells though. I'm going to try cutting a few layers of electrical tape, or automotive matte black vinyl wrap to coat the outer panel to see if isolation gets better. An Apple 3.5mm USB adapter is all you need with these. A low noise floor is most important. I have an audio equipment business, and keeping these as a reference for what zero distortion sounds like. Group delay is so clean, for gaming with sound effects like explosions they're really great. The only pair I have that's better is the Topping Hane, but they cost 5 times more. These are the best IEMs under that though. Just wish they had denser outer case material instead of plastic, but hope that will be easily remedied with a few coats of electrical tape cut in the shape needed. I'd post a photo, but I really don't want to stop listening to them :)

Clean clear transparent audio. Comfortable and seem to be very durable. For paying less than $20 on these I have no complaints. I remember paying close to $500 for my first pair of in-ear monitors by m-audio back in 2007. I don’t know if these can take the amount decibels those could but all in all great product.

Great product, cord is a little too short for my liking but comes with nice packaging and great wiring quality. Would be 5 star if they including the Audio to USB adaptors that are needed for these to really reach their potential.

If you're someone like me who isn't necessarily an audiophile and just wants a good pair of wired earbuds for cheap, I promise you these won't disappoint!! The sound quality on these earbuds is seriously amazing. I've been able to hear a lot more details in my music that I wasn't able to hear before. The build itself seems to be plastic, but it feels like very sturdy plastic, so I don't think I'm gonna have to worry about it breaking in the near future. The cable also has a very nice quality feel to it, so there's no need to purchase a better one. I was initially worried as the earbuds seemed to hurt my ears, but I think that was moreso my ears adjusting to wearing IEMs for the first time, now they're so comfy to me that I've slept with them on multiple times. I move a lot when I'm sleeping though, so I end up yanking them out in my sleep. Not a problem for me since I need to hear my alarm in the morning, but good to note. The IEMs come with a nice leather bag to store them in. I don't use them most of the time since I just wrap them around my iPod, but it's nice to have for travel. The volume control on the mic is good to have, but just note that it might not work on some older devices. It doesn't work on my iPod and my older laptop, but that's not much of a problem for me. As far as the mic goes, I've called once using it before and had no complaints from the receiving end, so I assume the mic quality is at least good enough. Overall, I have no complaints about these earbuds! I got them to get the job done and they went above and beyond.

Le trovo migliori di tanti altri IEMs sotto i €30, e hanno ottimi medi - i migliori fino almeno alla fascia degli 80/100 euro - e alti e bassi soddisfacenti - forse questi ultimi un po' muddy. Dettaglio ottimo per la fascia di prezzo - di nuovo, il migliore sotto i 90 euro dove si trovano le Moondrop Aria - e sicuramente un passo in avanti rispetto alle Truthear Hexa, che già erano un ottimo prodotto. Super consigliate, uniche pecche forse i già citati bassi un po' confusi, che però si notano solo in pezzi molto industriali o nel metal più nuovo, e un cavo (sostituibile) che forse poteva essere meno cheap

Väldigt bra bas, stark diskant, väldigt klart. War av Chief Keef och Waster av Bladee låter bäst i dessa hörlurar. Bladee’s röst blir övermänsklig.

Sehr guter Sound, angenehm zu tragen. Tut was es soll auch nach über einem Jahr. Sehr zufriedenstellend für den Preis.

great quality, great price

There’s not much to say here. To get an IEM this clean sounding at this low price would be almost incredible if the measurements would not back it up. First, its response is pretty well matched to the Harman curve. Second, its group delay is really clean. And last, its distortion across the whole audible spectrum is vanishingly low at 104 dBSPL and even at an ear damaging 114 dBSPL. This is astounding performance for any headphones, let alone for ones this inexpensive. If you wonder why this matters the answer is rather simple: they sound rather good out of the box but you can also modify its EQ via DSP to match your liking quite easily. That low distortion means you can really push any tortured EQ curves with impunity. I use them on my desktop running JRiver via a Topping D50s DAC and a NAD preamp and on my iPhone running Foobar App via a Fosi DS2 DAC/ Amp. Both JRiver and Foobar have some form of DSP implementation which I used to tailor the sound of these headphones exactly to my liking. In the end this is a remarkable product I’m glad I purchased. The plastic construction is adequate however the wires could be longer. The included silicon tips are OK but I found Comply foam tips which I prefer as they fit well, isolate better (essential for getting good sound) and are more comfortable to wear for longer listening sessions/ running/ working out.
