Truthears GATE - Is it more than just another sub 20usd IEM?🤔 

Great review and comparisons Tony, I’ll take a pass on the Gate and hang on to my Hola and Wan’er. I’m curious when the budget sector of the market starts tackling the more complex tunings of the higher end market. They all have pretty much perfected the “safe” style of tuning to one degree or another. Conquering the more successful complex tunings of the higher end market would seem to be the next logical step for the budget ($50 and under) segment of the market.

Since i do have Simgot EW100P and EW200 in my possession, i do understand the statement about EW100P sounded thin. Another example about EW100P is a pair of common (but outstanding sound of) 2.0 desktop speakers. Whereas EW200 is a bigger speakers with 2.1 setups (dedicated Subwoofer - sounded fuller).

Tony, I apologize for being intrusive, but if it’s not too much trouble, can you let us know how things are going with the TRN ST7 review? I mean that maybe for some reason there won’t be a review or something else... I just can’t decide between Rhapsody and ST7 (for me this is a lot of money - it’s important not to make a mistake with the choice). THX.

The KZ libra balanced is so underrated, its my favorite KZ iem rn, the vocals are smooth and more forward than other kzs, i like the bass better than castor black, and the highs are neither peaky nor sibilant, its like a more energetic wan'er, im just mad not many people seems to be reviewing it.

Dunu Titan S2 video when?

I took off the metallic grill in Libra Balanced and it cleared the bass a bit.I may do one more small hole on the shells.The mids are the smoothest of all my KZs they are very nice.If I managed to clear the bass a tiny bit more it will be my best dynamic drivers set 😀 but even as it is now it's very pleasant sounding its smooth and has some rumbling..

I rediscovered my (original) HZSound HeartMirror's over the last 2 weeks; resurrecting them from "the bottom of the drawer". They've been modded (with the Y4 filter over the vent port closest to the nozzle base on each case) and sound terrific for 1DD IEM's. The metal alloy case...the overall diminutive size...fitment...all are terrific. I am using them at the moment with an aftermarket ivipQ cable (silver) connected to my Muse HiFi M4.

pls compare with wan'er studio edition when it will be available, thank you!

Libra sure feels cheap in built quality (just what the price would suggest), but it's insane how good it sounds. It's mind blowing that it's possible to buy it for less than 8 dollars on sale and have great sounding IEMs, it just needs tip rolling and maybe cable swap to make it premium feeling, if that's even necessary. I bought the balanced ver and found it to be a slightly better version of both D-FI non switch (on brightness/resolution and bass quality) and ZVX (on soundstage), with the same smooth tuning, the only big difference being in the shells. I wish that Libra had metal shells to sustain some beating as well, but that would definitely mess with the tuning. For the price, it's not out of hand to just blind buy a spare one. I'd love to use it outside, but I feel it's kinda too fragile, I have my concerns on the connectors since mine has a bit of play. I'm currently using flipped black starline tips with Libra, the new white starlines that come with that IEM have thinner walls and have a shorter nozzle distance than the black one, which made it slightly sibilant and lacking in bass for me. White starlines are a bit of a setback in my opinion. I'm glad you liked the balanced ver, I decided to get it considering your thoughts on the HR ver, which might have been too bright or needing to manually EQ

Hey Akros, any of these best suited for vocals, both male & female? I'm looking for a natural, clear, and detailed representation of vocals because I listen to vocals-only audio. I don't prefer anything that's too colored, but rather something that reproduces vocals real-like, but also with good clarity and detail. Thanks! And if I may, how does something like the Tin Hifi C2 fare compared to these if I can EQ it? I have heard the driver and technicalities are good for the price.

Hello bro, I want to ask you a question if I already have the chu 2, kz zvx, truthear gate, trn conch, tanchjim Zero and cca Polaris. Do you think that a good sto in sound could be the cca trio?

24:00 agree, I actually also heard that rightaway

hola was 3dprinted resin with a metal face plate.

Tangzu waner vs Truthear gate.?? Which has better clarity and sound separation..??

great vid

Hey Akros, are you going to review the PAIAUDIO PDM7 by chance?

yes Tony, you called them out! It also caused people to expect the world from a 20 dollars IEMs

What’s the name of the cable on the Zeros? Thank you!
