Headphoneus Supremus
Just received my Devialet Gemini's this morning. First impressions are very positive as the packaging and phones themselves appear to be of very high quality. As per the recommendations suggested in a pre-delivery email, I updated the firmware. Both initial pairing and the subsequent update went smoothly. I found the noise cancelling to be very effective and the test for optimum fitment went well after I repositioned one side a bit.
They fit my ears beautifully and best of all, the nozzles are of a size to permit the use of about any tips, plus there is plenty of room in the charging case for nearly any imaginable size tips to fit.
The app allows for a number of customizations including custom EQs and a number of selectable presets. The touchpads do not require a press, just a moderate touch.
Ultimately, the final measure of flagship quality is the SQ and so far I can say that the Gemini sound better to me than any of my previous TWS phones regardless of cost. Soundstage is quite expansive and tonality seems to be spot-on for me using the default setting.
I do need to conduct further testing to establish the bluetooth parameters and further evaluate the sonic performance of different genre's using a number of my test tracks.
The only negative I have found so far (which might be a deal-breaker for some) is that there is no volume control capability via touch buttons, rather volume must be controlled via your Bluetooth source.
I will post any additional comments as I conduct further testing.
BTW, the Gemini is covered by a 2-year warranty.
