TRUTHEAR GATE Dynamic Driver In-Ear Headphone 3.5mm Interchangeable Headphone Cable (Black, No 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.

5 star for look, feel, fit and sound quality. The storage pouch is also good. Best $25 I spent ! I can’t believe some people gave it less than 4 star rating. Just ignore them. These are $25 earbuds and deliver way higher value. These sounds soo good and refined that i cant believe these are only $22 ! I cant imagine how truthear hexa and pure sound like. The case that came with this is pretty decent too. Does not feel cheap. Incredible value! I am coming back after first week of listening. As some people have mentioned, the sound quality of these is unbelievable. As a reference, I own Sony 1000 xm4, Bowers and wilkins PX7 s2e, I just needed a wired earbud for rough use during travel so bought these. I am not exaggerating, they do compare well to sonys, not much to bowers but boy they are close. There are times when I gravitate towards just grabbing these. I dont mind the wire hassle. I am using a cheap $10 usb c to 3.5 mm dongle with my laptop. You dont need fancy dongle but I recommend sticking with big or known brands like apple, linsoul, jcally, moondrop, FIIO, etc

Average sound, excellent cable. Compared to other budget iems, has unnatural timbre at the mids versus Wan'er original, not as dynamic or exciting as the Chu 2, although slightly less fatiguing in the upper treble, probably because I found it weirdly low res over all. This is after getting two of these, thinking the first one might've been a lemon. Can easily tell by comparing to my Novas. Cannot get the sound I want out it from tip rolling or EQ like I could with other budget iems. It's got really nice sub bass however to my ears, that's not dominated by bass, so sometimes I enjoy it for EDM. Despite my reservations about the sound I bought two of them, because the cable is good. If you need another iem cable, just get this, don't spend more than the Gate for a cable. 5/5 for the cable, 3/5 for the sound, so 4/5.

Reference quality IEM's. I do not even know how it is possible to make a set of IEM's at this price point that sounds this good. It excels in all three ranges, extremely clean sounding and excellent tonality. I actually listen to tracks I have heard many times and heard things I had not heard before even with expensive high-end Planar IEM's.

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 :)

These are the worst ear buds i have ever had. I bought a pair back in Jan 2026 and had to replace them in April because the left ear bud stopped working. It is now June and the left ear bud had also stopped working. Not worth it.

Sound is okay, vocals on these sound great, but instrumentals a bit tinny. Uncomfortable to wear for longer periods of time, but good value.

Ok, that may be a little too much hype, but for under $20 we have a single DD IEM that can deliver solid bass, soothing mids, and decent treble without demanding high-end equipment or a day's worth of wages. For a large portion of the casual, non-audiophole customer base I would be hard pressed to find anything that would call for someone to NOT pick these up. Are they perfect? No - poorly recorded tracks will sound worse, certain genres may fall a bit short in the clarity and detail department, and some may find the bass a bit too pronounced. The build is, admittedly, cheap looking, but you won't be looking at these. The only concern I have is the robustness of the build as these are molded plastic shells. But hot dang! If you're looking to see what the hype is with IEMs you could do much worse than to start with these. Like I said, most folks would consider these as good as it gets.

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.

Un entry level che ti fa innamorare di questo mondo, economiche, facili, soddisfacenti.

bom demais, o cabo é resistente o audio é espetacular pra quem quer algo mais cinematográfico e imponente

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.

よくある1DDですが良いです。 中華イヤホンでありがちな派手なドンシャリではなく、温かみのあるイヤホンです。 特に歌物で真価を発揮するイヤホンだなと感じました。 普段派手な音で聴いている方は物足りなく感じるかもしれません。 付属品も充実しており、イヤーピースの開口部分のサイズ違いが同梱されており、音の違いを楽しめると思います。 解像度は値段相応。 音のバランスが個人的に良かったです。 初めての1DDや、少し落ち着いた音を求める方におすすめしたいです。
