@alexeiboukirev83574 ай бұрын
That 2-pin connector head on the cable is perfect. The funny thing is the FR difference between Hola and Gate would be dismissed as almost imperceptible a few years back. Probably because reviewers were looking at differences in isolation for frequency subranges. And now we know that overall balance/tilt matters a lot.

Still lots of people that don't know a sensible way of reading graph. They probably missed what makes Gate tuning special for sure.

I assume that the Hola was discontinued for cost reasons, so with that in mind, I think the Gate did a good job of giving people what they liked about the Hola, while being more cost effective. The cable is just so good for the price, and you get a decent free IEM with it as well.

I agree in terms of the cable and the accessories. The Gate's overall tuning is noticeably different from the relaxing tuning of the Hola. The Gate's tuning is very similar to the original 7Hz Zero yet with around 1 dB more bass and mid bass. I wouldn't say that the Gate's tuning is relaxing since the Gate, unlike the Hola, does not have a slightly relaxed rise for the simulate pinna gain in the 1 kHz to 4 kHz region. I agree with Ryan that the Zero 2 has a relaxing overall sound signature even though this is achieved in different ways in comparison to the Hola. The Hola and the Zero 2 are two IEMs which fall into my "chill pill" category of IEMs which are relaxing to listen to. The Gate does not.

You might want to do a $20 and under shoot-out sometime of a top-5 in the category. We just got some KZ new EDC Pro - which was under $10 for a small band I mix - I like the audio out of them and likely will get a Gate soon to compare. Lots of value under $20. The Hola was so nice being very light weight. Similar to the Ziigaat Nuo - plastic, one driver, light weight and good fit.

Hola build just looks like better quality. But the art plate made it look cheap. Not necessarily because of the art itself but it gives off this arts and craft vibes with the cheap looking plastic panel.

I feel kinda of special owning a Hola now. I think Truthear were almost making a lose on them with the 3D printed shell, good stock cable and the carry pouch, maybe even the cardboard for the eartips to sit on. Just that entire package was so good at the time. I think the Gate sadly is just a cheaper version now with a slightly updated tuning based on what people told Truthear about the Hola being warm sounding.

To my ears the Gate and Hola are practically the same. Gate has slightly less bass and a little more clarity in details and separation. But to be honest, after 5 minutes of listening they are practically the same. On a 1-100% scale they are like 5% difference in bass and clarity. I did A/B testing with them on the same gear/songs/tips.
