The TRUTHEAR GATE is a single-dynamic-driver IEM built around a 10mm carbon LCP driver, with 28Ω impedance, 122dB/Vrms sensitivity and a detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable, sold with or without an in-line mic. It suits first-time IEM buyers who want a replaceable-cable earphone for music, calls and gaming.
Who the TRUTHEAR GATE is for
First IEM: One 10mm dynamic driver, a detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable and a 3.5mm plug make it a simple starting point for any phone, laptop or USB-C dongle with a 3.5mm jack.
Calls and game chat: The With Mic version uses a cable with an in-line microphone, so the same pair works for calls and voice chat on a 3.5mm headset jack.
Comfort and fit: The PC+ABS shell is refined from TRUTHEAR's HOLA, and seven pairs of short ear tips in two bore sizes (S to XL) help you find a seal.
EQ users: TRUTHEAR says measured distortion stays under 0.2% in most bands at 104dB SPL, which leaves room for EQ adjustments.
Skip it if: you want a 4.4mm balanced or USB-C cable out of the box; both GATE versions ship with a 3.5mm cable.
