General Information

665d772dd4902bdf63ad22a0_GATE.jpg
GATE, cost-effective dynamic driver in-ear headphone
Adopting N52 magnet double-cavity internal magnetic circuit dynamic driver, with a brand-new carbon LCP high-rigidity diaphragm
Brand-new cavity ID design, High quality oxygen-free copper cable, Excellent objective indicators

GATE is designed as a cost-effective and comfortable IEM. Its appearance has been redesigned, the weight of the cavity has been reduced, and the diaphragm and acoustic structure of driver has been further optimized. Meanwhile, GATE uses 0.78mm 2pin interchangeable design for convenience and expanded playability.

Drivers:​


Optimize the structure and diaphragm rigidity of driver, GATE uses a 10MM internal magnetic circuit dynamic driver with frontal-cavity filter optimization and diaphragm specialization.

Diaphragm: GATE uses a new carbon LCP diaphragm material, making it more rigid than the standard LCP diaphragm, improving high-frequency sensitivity. The ultra-thin PU further enhances the bass texture and ensures safe diaphragm operation.

Structure: The structural strength has been optimized to fully utilize the acoustic characteristics of the new diaphragm while minimizing the deformation of the 10mm speaker during metal stamping. This ensures consistent production and acoustics.

Coil: A large CCAW ultra-thin coil is used to ensure a lightweight and reliable suspension system.

Excellent Objective Indicators

The GATE features a brand-new diaphragm material and optimized acoustic structure, resulting in minimal linear distortion and improved high-frequency extension compared to previous models. It ensures excellent frequency-amplitude response with HRTF characteristics, delivering a balanced, durable, and enjoyable sound with reasonable bass gains.

Furthermore, the GATE exhibits exceptional nonlinear distortion, with measured distortion in most frequency bands being less than 0.2% under non-anechoic room and 104dB SPL. This results in a clean background and allows for personalized adjustments using EQ without any negative effects.

Brand-New ID Design, Snug Fit

The GATE's cavity design has been fine-tuned based on HOLA, further optimizing the appearance with a transparent faceplate. The PC+ABS composite injection cavity not only ensures overall lightweight, but also provides a stable and reliable size and structure. In addition, GATE has brand-new ear-tips for admirable listening and maintains the short-size eartips to minimize the in-ears' uncomfortable effect. All these efforts are aimed at delivering a better audio experience.

TRUTHEAR GATE : Everything is adequate, no need to complain, comfortable

Hey guys! Here we have an IEM that I find quite interesting, both in terms of design and sound quality.

Could this be a recommendation? Maybe. Personally, I quite like this IEM, though if you're looking for something exceptional, there isn't much that stands out. Similarly, there aren't many complaints either—there’s not much to criticize about this IEM.

Truthear Gate Thumbnail.jpg


We're actually a bit late reviewing this, as others have already done so about two or three months ago.

Alright, let's get started. Here's my review of the Truthear Gate.


DISCLAIMER & THANKS TO
First off, I want to say a big thank you to Intium Indonesia for providing the IEM unit for this review. For those of you in Indonesia looking for an IEM and often ask, "Bro, any recommendations for a store with good service and a clear warranty?" You can check out this store. If you're in the DKI Jakarta area, especially North Jakarta, you can also drop by Intium Indonesia’s physical store—yes, they have a physical store, not just an online shop.

As always, this review is going to be very subjective, based on my personal taste and impressions after using this IEM for about 3 weeks, while also comparing it to my other IEMs. Intium just entrusted us with the IEM for review, without any specific brief or requests.


PRICE
The price of the Truthear Gate is around Rp350.000 IDR in Indonesia, which is around $20 or $22 USD.


SPECIFICATIONS
For the specifications, this IEM uses a 10mm Single Dynamic Driver configuration, which they claim features their latest technology, the Carbon LCP Diaphragm. It has a sensitivity of 122dB, impedance of 28 Ohms, and a frequency response range up to 45,000 Hz. The cable is detachable, using the standard 2-pin 0.78mm connection.


PACKAGING
The packaging is attractive, and it has become a trend for Truthear and Moondrop to include anime characters or waifus on the front cover. Truthear models like Hola, Hexa, Shio, Zero Blue, and Zero Red, as well as Moondrop Chu, all feature anime art.

20241024_065540.jpg


On the back, we're presented with a frequency response graph, which is somewhat similar to the Simgot EW100P, if I remember correctly. At the bottom, there’s a brief overview of the specifications.

20241024_065555.jpg


The top, bottom, and sides are predominantly black, with only a bit of text present.

20241024_070704.jpg



INCLUSIONS
As for the inclusions, they're pretty standard—nothing too special.
- The IEM unit is the Truthear Gate; we have the black version here, but if you prefer white, it's also available.
- The cable unit has a 2-pin connector and a 3.5mm single-ended jack.
- The eartips include 7 units: 3 small bore and 4 wide bore.
- Lastly, there's a pouch for storing or carrying the IEM.


BUILD QUALITY
As for the build quality of the IEM, it’s actually quite standard. Everything is made from resin or plastic, from the housing and faceplate to the nozzle. The resin isn’t particularly high quality, but I do like the appearance of the faceplate, which is very clear and transparent. Although, to be honest, there’s nothing special about the internals. It does allow us to see the dynamic driver, internal wiring, and connectors. This transparent design seems to be quite popular right now; I also have the KZ Merga and KZ Libra with a similar clear design.

20241024_065637.jpg


What bothers me a bit is the placement of the "Gate" lettering and the Truthear logo. Why is it placed so far to the edge? It would have looked better if it were slightly more centered. I don’t know if it’s my OCD or what, but it’s frustrating to see the placement look so random.

20241024_065823.jpg


Also, if the shape of the dynamic driver had a cooler design, like the internal dynamic driver of the KZ Merga or even the EDX Lite, which has a plate that looks like a racing car wheel at the top, it would look much better than this very plain design.

But overall, there are no issues with the build quality, even though there’s nothing to be particularly proud of either. It’s just average.

The eartips are also pretty standard, made of black silicone. We get 4 pairs of wide bore tips and 3 pairs of small bore tips. As you probably know, this will significantly affect the sound. The small bore tips will provide a warmer sound compared to the wide bore tips, which will direct the sound more towards a brighter or more open character.

20241024_071424.jpg


The cable is quite good for my taste; it features an OFC material for the internal wiring and is covered with a black rubber-like material, making it flexible, not stiff, and resistant to tangling.

20241024_070518.jpg


What I particularly like is that it comes with a volume button, which is something that's becoming quite rare in other IEMs. In fact, as far as I remember from all the IEMs I've reviewed on my YouTube channel up until this review was written, this is the first one that includes a volume button on the microphone.

20241024_065939.jpg


This is really helpful when we’re listening to music from our phones, as we don’t have to adjust the volume on the phone itself or through the volume button on the DAC dongle. We can just click the volume button on the cable, which is simple but very useful.

20241024_070303.jpg


The jack is L-shaped, gold-plated, and has 4 poles.

The connector from the cable to the IEM driver uses the standard 2-pin 0.78mm model.

You can listen to the audio recording from the microphone on my YouTube channel.

As for the pouch, I think it’s nice because at this price point, many other IEMs only provide a simple pouch made of velvet fabric.

20241024_070620.jpg


Truthear consistently offers a pouch made of synthetic leather like this, which is a great touch. It’s similar to the pouches that come with the Truthear Hola, Hidizs MS3, and Hidizs MP145, which all feature the same design.

20241024_071031.jpg



FITTING
In terms of fitting, these IEMs are very comfortable. The shape of the housing is not unusual, and once inserted into the ear, they immediately find a good fit. The seal is sufficient, the grip is adequate, and they feel relatively lightweight. The resin cuts and joins are smooth, with no rough edges.

Screenshot 2024-10-24 074142.png
Overall, the fitting is excellent, and wearing them for extended periods doesn’t cause any discomfort. The cable is also relatively immune to microphonic effects.


SOUND QUALITY
When it comes to sound quality, let's discuss it while comparing it to other IEMs. This time, I’m reminded of an IEM we reviewed on YouTube about a year ago: the Simgot EW100P, which was one of the early releases when Simgot became more aggressive in the market.

20241024_070929.jpg


If you’ve already listened to the Simgot EW100P and remember its tonal characteristics well, you can skip this review because the sound is quite similar. However, the technical aspects here are slightly better.

Low / Bass
In terms of low frequencies or bass, this IEM follows a Harman Target-like tuning, providing a sufficient quantity for both sub-bass and mid-bass. You can definitely feel the impact as the bass hits, creating a sensation of air pushing against your eardrums. The low frequencies are well-represented, but they aren't overly aggressive.

The transient speed is decent—not slow by any means. Whether you're listening to fast-paced metal tracks with double pedals or intense bass-heavy EDM songs, it handles them without falling behind. However, it doesn’t deliver an overwhelmingly satisfying experience with heavy bass; it’s not boomy or rumbling. Overall, the bass performance can be described as versatile—suitable for various genres but not specifically tailored to excel in any one of them, while still being enjoyable across different musical styles.

What’s clear is that the Gate offers clean and well-controlled bass that doesn’t interfere with the mids or vocals.

Mid & Vocal
In the midrange and vocal performance, male vocals sit nicely in the center, presenting a balanced position without being too recessed. On the other hand, female vocals are slightly more forward in the mix. The thickness of the vocals feels just right, again delivered cleanly without being dry. The articulation of each lyric is clear, although shoutiness can occasionally occur in certain tracks with a lot of screaming. The emotional dynamics are well-captured, but when the shouting becomes excessive, it can introduce a bit of shoutiness. However, the sibilance in the articulation of "S" sounds is relatively safe.

Overall, the vocals on the Truthear Gate feel dynamic yet light, transparent, and clear. They share similarities with the vocals on the Simgot EW100P, but here, you won’t encounter the graininess that can sometimes be present in the Simgot EW100P.

Other midrange instruments, such as guitars and pianos, are also presented clearly and maintain a good position in the mix, not overshadowed by the bass. Overall, the sound remains clean and transparent, similar to how the vocals are represented.

High / Treble
For the high frequencies or treble, the Truthear Gate offers a satisfactory performance. It doesn’t make the overall sound of the IEM dark at all; there’s no sense of darkness here. However, it also doesn't come off as overly sparkling or excessively crisp. Once again, there are similarities to the treble of the Simgot EW100P, which provides decent detail without being overly aggressive or piercing.

Cymbals maintain a fresh and vibrant sound, without reaching a harsh or sharp level. When it comes to violin performances, like Lindsey Stirling's "Carol of the Bells" or "The Arena," they remain enjoyable, though they may lack the biting intensity found in models like the KZ Castor Harman, TRN Conch, or CCA CRA series. Overall, the treble strikes a nice balance, providing clarity without overwhelming the listener.

Screenshot 2024-10-24 074420.png



TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE
For the technical aspects, the Truthear Gate doesn't stray far from other IEMs in the 200 to 300 thousand IDR price range, but it offers a slight improvement over the Simgot EW100P, which has a similar tonal profile. The soundstage is quite spacious, with good instrument separation and clarity, allowing each instrument to be heard distinctly.

The overall clarity is good, though not on par with the EW200. However, it's still considered clean and clear, with solid resolution from low to high frequencies. The imaging is also satisfactory, not too flat or overly three-dimensional, providing a satisfying listening experience.


CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this IEM is tuned safely, with its technical aspects aligning well with its tonal quality and price. It can be used for listening to a wide variety of music but isn't particularly specialized for any specific genre. My conclusion is similar to the EW100P that I reviewed about a year ago; the special feature of this IEM is its minimal complaints regarding fitting, tonal quality, and technical performance. Although technically, it is slightly better than the EW100P.

Overall, in terms of tonal balance, for those of you who have a diverse playlist listening to various genres—ranging from Pop, Rock, Dangdut, EDM, Classical, Instrumental, to J-Pop and K-Pop—the Truthear Gate is an all-rounder. It won’t make any of those genres sound significantly worse, providing a comfortable listening experience. However, it doesn't excel in any specific genre either.

For basshead friends, it’s clear that the Truthear Gate won’t deliver the booming bass found in the Castor Bass or the punchiness of the CCA Polaris. However, the Gate does present a cleaner bass response while still reaching lower frequencies. It just doesn’t have that same thickness in the bass.

For those of you who are mid-centric or vocal-centric listeners, the Truthear Gate might still be a good fit. However, if I personally want to focus solely on vocals without worrying about the bass, I would still prefer the Tanchjim Zero.

As for trebleheads, this may not be the ideal choice. However, for those looking to obtain good detail without the crunchiness, the Gate should work well. It strikes a balance that offers a pleasant listening experience without overwhelming brightness.

Is it recommended? It is highly recommended for those who prioritize comfort during use and enjoy a mixed playlist. The fitting is very comfortable, it's lightweight, the cable is flexible, and the inclusion of a volume button is a feature that is very rare in IEMs, even those priced from the hundreds to the millions. Listening to any song—from bass-heavy tracks, vocal-centered music, instrumental pieces, double pedal metal, soft vocals like Raisa or Isyana, to powerful vocals like Ariel Noah and shouting vocals like Taka from One Ok Rock—everything sounds pleasant.

I have also decided not to sell it in the near future; I want to enjoy this IEM for a few more months.

Introduction:-



A gateway to the iem world?



Hey guys, today I am going to review the new budget iem from truthear which is called gate. It comes at $19. The gate is a replacement for the ever so popular hola

I have also shared a video version of the review at YouTube any support there in form of a view, A like or A subscribe is greatly appreciated. But if you so wish to read the written version you can read this.




Before I start the review I want to say a huge thanks to Shenzhen Audio for the review unit. But all the thoughts and opinions you are about to hear are my own. Please check them out below via the unaffiliated link to shenzhen audio

I will be as usual following my bullet style format for better readability for those who are dyslexic and in general find it hard to read long paragraphs. I follow this guide in general from the British Dyslexia Association.


Lets get started!







Imagepipe_55.jpg


Build, Comfort and Accessories:-

1. The outer packaging of the gate is very simple and it has this waifu.



2. The Box comes with the iems, a set of narrow bore tips, a set of wide bore tips and the fantastic pouch



3. The pouch supplied is very nice! It has this metal clapse around the rim and shuts tight when closed, this is a very nice case specially for the price.



4. It can fit a smal dongle dac like the fiio ka11 and the iem



5. The cable supplied is very good it terminates to 3.5mm at one end and 2 pin at the other.



6. Also bonus points for the cable for it having a chin slider which works very well



7. The gate are really comfortable to wear and I have had no problems wearing them for 6-7 hours.



8. There is a minor driver flex specially on the left side for me, although this might vary depending on the persons ear anatomy.



9. I really like this transparent shell design the gate has, and it is something unique for this price range.



10. I said that the iems are comfortable, but seeing the inside design does make me confused as to why the iems couldn’t have been even more smaller to fit even smaller ears. Because there are some people out there who has even smaller ears than average and they might have issues with the size of this. Just a thought!



11. Also they are really easy to power








Imagepipe_48.jpg





Sound Impressions:-

1. I have used all the stock accessories for the testing. I have also used the narrow bore tips



2. The overall sound is very close to Harman 2019 with a tad bit lower bass than it.



3. I really like the sort of north of neutral sound signature of the gate. Although some could find it to be a bit thin overall.



4. What it does is it makes it very easy to play for all genres.



5. The gate also performs really well as a low volume set. As someone who listens to low volumes I really appreciate it



Bass-



1. The bass of the gate is ok-ish for my personal taste



2. People who like neutral sound might find it to be perfect



3. The bass is more sub-bass focused than mid-bass


Imagepipe_54.jpg



4. When listening to the song crack crackle by classy the gate had a decent amount of thump and punch, I personally would have preferred a tad bit more amount of sub-bass here



5. The mid-bas is done very tastefully here, and it goes quite well along with the sub-bass



6. When listening to the instruments from the 1985 live album by cassiopea, the instruments don’t sound that crispy or rather they sound a bit lifeless.



7. For example adding a tad bit of bass via eq or via xbass mode from the ifi go blu the entire bass region sounds very lively.



Mids-



1. The mids of the gate in my opinion are really good



2. Although the male vocals take a back seat than most of the song



3. But the thick richness of Chris cornelles and Bill withers voice comes across very well, it was a bit surprising to me.


Imagepipe_52.jpg




4. Now coming to female vocals, they sound really good.



5. When listening to Sakura and Hanawa Sakura by ikkimonogakari, The vocals were really crisp and lively.



6. The female vocals are done really well, but for someone who doesn’t like shouty upper mids might find a bit of an issue here specially at higher volumes.



7. The entire mids is done quite tastefully in my opinion



Treble-



1. The overall treble is smooth, apt for the price



2. I would say that the amount of treble is quite good but…



3. The treble at some songs sounds a bit uneven and unpolished. Again I know these are under $20


Imagepipe_53.jpg






4. But this is the one of the small gripe I have with the set.



6. For example when the instrument section of the song blue bird by ikkimongakari, which was also an opening for naruto. They sound a bit unpolished and meh.



7. Again do remember these are only $20 and the treble isnt so bad, that you cannot listen to them its just that they are tad bit unpolished in some songs



7. I did tip roll them, and with the divinus velvet tips the bass sounded a bit more fuller and the treble seems to sound a bit more cleaner. But then again the divinus velvet tips are the same price as the iems.




Soundstage, Technicalities and Imaging:-



The soundstage of the gate is average overall. They seem to have better depth than width. When listening to galactic funk live by cassiopea the claps by the audience had a good space, but the spacing of the instruments sounded a bit cramped. Again these are only $20 iems, but still thought of mentioning



Technicalities for the gate is really good, almost most genres sounded very good and clean over here.



Imaging was average too for the price, the left to right transition and vice versa was quite ok for the price. Again please remember the price.



Imagepipe_51.jpg



Gaming Test:-

Since these don’t have much bass when a lot of bombs were exploding or anything thumpy like kicking a door etc. was happening they sounded really clean and they didn’t overwhelm me like with most bassy iems. The sense of soundscape was average and I could gauge a good understanding of the footsteps around me with the gate. When there was a lot happening in the scene with bombs exploding and guns firing at average to higher volumes the gate did sound a bit piercy and sense of space did fall for that moment. For occasional gaming sessions these were quite good.


Imagepipe_50.jpg









Comparison and Recommendation:-

1. v/s Moondrop Chu 2 – The all metal build quality of the chu 2 is much better than the gate. Also both the cables of the chu 2 and gate are very similar and I really love them! The chu 2’s are a tad bit bassier than the gate, while the female vocals are much better in the gate. I think so both of these compliment each other very well.



2. Sadly I haven't tried the zero or zero 2, but going by the graph these look a something in between the zero and zero 2


Imagepipe_52.jpg



3. I think so for the price, these are quite good specially if you want a bit neutral sounding iems



4. I personally would recommend them for the price, for the fantastic pouch and the cable alone!



5. I really love the cable and pouch provided, you can buy the gate just for it and be happy.



6. So that is my review of the Truthear Gate, If you have any question please do comment below. Like and subscribe to my YouTube Channel is a great way of supporting me as it helps me a lot! I hope you have a great day ahead, bye!








If you have any questions please feel free to ask me and also if you have any issues regarding this format of review please do comment I will try to mend it. Also sorry to those who are used to reading long paragraphs of review in headfi. I hope my review was upto the mark, I appreciate any feedback.

Again a big thanks to Shenzhen Audio for making this review possible.

Have a great day ahead, Bye :)

Ultra budget pleasure
Pros: + Casual-neutral tuning
+ Extended bass with good technicalities
+ Present mid-range and controlled treble
+ Satisfying resolution and clarity
+ Open and extended soundstage
+ Lightweight and comfortable
+ Detachable cable
+ Accessories
+ Super affordable
+ Exceptional value for money
Cons: - Cheap plastic construction
- Scratches easily
- Flat soundstage
- Dry and somewhat metallic treble
- Lack of refinement
Truthear is a renowned brand that makes affordable earphones, like the well regarded Nova. Their latest release is the Gate, an entry level earphone with a super friendly price.

IMG_20240711_174902-wm-47103_watermarked.jpg


The Gate adopts a N52 magnet, double-cavity internal magnetic circuit dynamic driver, with a brand-new carbon LCP high-rigidity diaphragm. It uses a 10mm internal magnetic circuit dynamic driver with frontal-cavity filter optimization and diaphragm specialization. The LCP diaphragm material is more rigid than the standard LCP diaphragm, improving high-frequency sensitivity. The ultra-thin PU further enhances the bass texture and ensures safe diaphragm operation. A large CCAW ultra-thin coil is used to ensure a lightweight and reliable suspension system.

You can read more about the Truthear Gate by clicking here.

IMG_20240711_175641-wm-49047.09999990463_watermarked.jpg


Non Audio stuff

The ear-shells of the Truthear Gate are entirely made from plastic compound in either black or white color with transparent faceplates that allow a view of the internal structure. You can clearly spot the driver and the tiny cables. The Gate is compact sized, featherweight and comfortable, you can wear it for hours without even noticing its presence. The ear-shells fit well and are stable thus providing good passive noise attenuation. The plastic feels a little cheap and looks prone to scratching but for the price I wouldn't expect more.

IMG_20240711_175520-wm-48511.09999990463_watermarked.jpg


Cable

For such a budget earphone it comes as a surprise that it features a detachable cable with a 2-pin interface that has a sunken female cavity for better reliability. This is an oxygen-free copper cable of typical quality with a twisted geometry and rubber outer sheathing. The cable looks quite reliable, it is soft, lightweight and it doesn't get tangled. You have the option to order it with or without a mic and inline controls.

IMG_20240711_175453-wm-48311_watermarked.jpg


Accessories

Except for the cable, the package includes a small carrying pouch and two sets of silicone ear-tips. One of thick diameter in four sizes and another of thin in three sizes. An inclusive bundle for the price.

IMG_20240711_175334-wm-47438_watermarked.jpg


Audio stuff

The Truthear Gate is rated at 28Ω with a sensitivity of 122dB/V so it is easy to drive. You can use entry level USB adapters, like the FiiO JA11 or a full sized USB DAC dongle like the Truthear Shio.

Just like the Truthear Nova, the Gate has a casual-balanced tuning that adheres to the Harman adjusted target curve. This means that it is more balanced and natural sounding than most entry level earphones that tend to have too much emphasis on the bass and the treble.

IMG_20240711_175431-wm-48027.39999997616_watermarked.jpg


The Gate has a good sub-bass extension that will leave you pleased and sound satisfying with all kinds of bass tunes. Additionally, the sub-bass is not that emphasized and doesn't dominate over the higher frequencies that retain good clarity and presence. The mid-bass is a little prominent and not that neutral but it doesn't bleed into the mid-range, it is a little out of tune by reference criteria but it will not disappoint with classical music. The sound signature is mildly warm and very enjoyable with all kinds of music while retaining acceptable tonal precision.

The bass is quite fast, fairly tight and controlled with satisfying physical impact but don't expect miracles when it comes to resolution, definition and layering. Still the technical performance is more than satisfying for just $16.99.

The mid-range is present, spacious and well defined with good resolution and articulation for the category. The timbre is quite natural and harmonious, the upper mid-range is emphasized to add some extra clarity and sparkle but it doesn't sound too aggressive or fatiguing. Female vocals and certain instruments will sound a little more prominent in the mix but generally speaking the music is reproduced with balance and sufficient realism.

The treble is surprisingly smooth and controlled but you don't feel it as lacking in extension and energy. The Gate is a vivid earphone, crystal clear, transparent and luminous enough with adequate detail retrieval but it doesn't sound bright or sharp on the treble. The treble timbre is not that artificial but the textures are rather lean while they have a touch of metallic sheen and lack of refinement.

The soundstage is exceptionally open and spacious with decent imaging, the Gate easily outperforms most of the competition in this regard while it sounds surprisingly realistic and lifelike given its entry level status.

IMG_20240711_175616-wm-48863_watermarked.jpg


Conclusion

Plain and simple, the Truthear Gate is absolutely fantastic, an ultra budget earphone with a surprisingly balanced tuning, very good sonic performance and technicalities for the category. It is a great alternative for people who can't afford the Truthear Nova, as they have the same sound signature, and an excellent option for anyone else who likes to get a taste of high quality sound by spending just a few bucks. The Truthear Gate is hard to beat, it is the new value King and represents a bargain that none should miss.

The review sample was kindly provided free of charge in exchange for an honest review.

The price of the Truthear Gate is $16.99 for the version with a mic and $16.14 without. You can buy it from Shenzhen Audio
