>TL;DR~
•Pros-
1)Excellent Vocals and Sounstage.
2)Comfortable for long listening.
•Cons-
1)Need to Listen at High Volume (may cause fatigue)
2)Not for Strong Bass Lovers.
>Price/Variant~
Black with no-mic variant at ₹1899/$20
>Design~
The Whole Housing is a Solid Resin Build and the Main Event is the Cable definitely premium for ₹1899/$20 ,the Stock Eartips are Good but I used aftermarket Tips (Audiocular Spinfits and Liquid tips).
The Shell size and shape are comparatively medium fitting and for my ears they are comfortable.
>Devices Used~
1)Ibasso DX160 DAP.
2)IPhone 13 (with Lighting Dongle DAC)
3)IPad Pro 4th Gen (with my DAP as DAC)
>Sound~
Not a V-Shaped or Bassy Tuning. It Leans on Giving you the Feel of music like playing with you.
The Vocals and Instruments are their Home-Ground.
Other Users Complained of it being Sibilant but I listened it at 50-60% Volume and there was no Sibilance.
1)High’s-
You can feel the instruments playing in their place like the guitars and all the high frequencies are very clear.It is not sibilant at all in my hearing impression.
2)Mid’s-
Female Vocals are Definitely the highlight of these tuning and Male Vocals are bassy i.e, they don’t feel as defined as female vocals.
3)Low’s-
There is a bit of thump and kick when you listen to bassy songs of Travis Scott but this IEM is not for the bass lovers ,look for any other V-Shaped tuning (like the cheaper GK Kunten).
>Comparison~
Vs GK Kunten-
The Kunten’s are definitely a Mainstream Audience Pleaser,the V-Shaped Tuning and the bass thump will please any Beginner whereas The Gate’s are For the one’s who want to feel their music and feel like they are playing in the same room as them and Enjoy the intricate details.
>Tracks Tested~
1)Rockstar Movie Album.
2)Ram-Leela Movie Album.
3)Harry’s House.
4)Travis Scott Album’s.
5)Ok Jaanu Movie Album.
6)Hurry Up Tomorrow.
7)Eminem’s Different Album’s.
8)DHH (like Divine,Kr$na,Seedhe Maut)
>Overall Rating~
B+
>Conclusion~
Not for Everybody or For you Bass Lovers ,Best Music Experience you’ll have for ₹1899/$20. The Vocals and Instruments are definitely the Standout Part.
