Truthear GATE $17 IEM Review

[1066]

Try different buds, the included buds on such a cheap iem are usually poor,

You could buy these below, I have no experience of this set but there appears to be plenty of choice

Or there’s the popular Dunu S&S set of eartips that I use on a few pairs of my iem’s, multipack shown below, they are decent and get a very good seal

Thank you, I’ll have a look on Amazon uk

Even with a good seal they are a bit bass light so EQ is recommended (see Amir’s suggested settings in the OP). Even without EQ I still marvel at their incredible resolution and complete lack of resonance/group delay.

Another good set is "Fiio HS19". It contains 12 pairs of different sizes of silicon eartips, double flange and foam eartips. Cheapest offer that I saw was on AliExpress for approx 9 Euros.

Thank you, I’ve ordered Linsoul to try.
If they do not work I can try this set next month.

I just got a pair, combined with the Tachjim Stargate II DSP dongle... gotta say, kind of shocking how good these are for the money, mine were $15 shipped from Amazon. Boosted 25hz a few dB with the DSP, and although I only listened casually so far, I'd have to do some pretty serious critical listening to find a way to improve these further. At this point I guess you can say entry-level Hifi is legit hifi.

Just got these in, running them right now off the L70. Ill say its really going to depend on the tips you use as you already know, fitment, seal, dadada... But once you get a fitting tip you'll get to listen to these gems. I like em'. Would have liked a bit longer of a cable but they won't be leaving the desk anyway.
