Hey everyone,
Budget IEMs have reached scary levels: if they’d existed five years ago, we’d have paid $400 or $500 for them. This is my review of a new star in the budget class: the Truthear GATE. Shenzhen Audio sent a sample, and the opinions are my own.
Who is it for?
- Anyone who likes balanced performance between musical and technical, and has a decent source, even a budget one (like the GM7).
Strengths
- Excellent bass extension, it reached 12 Hz for me.
- Voices are natural, and the bass gives the lower mids musical weight.
- A great alternative if you tried the first 7Hz Zero and didn’t like it: the GATE has more bass and less treble brightness.
Weaknesses
- Bass bleed into the mids depends on the source, and with some sources it covers some details.
- Some sources make the mid-bass a bit thin.
Verdict
One of the easiest recommendations I make, if you like this sound signature. It’s a lot like the Zero RED, with a slight edge to the RED.
Note: this review is from 2024, so the price may have changed.
