"The sound is amazing, especially for someone who prefers less bass. ... The vocals are crystal clear and not compressed."
"You can appreciate vocals as they are clear. ... If you love vocal forward music than it's gonna be your choice. ... I love vocal forward songs like ghazals and bollywood classics and 90s indie pop so it fullfill my requirement."

"Great set of accessories for the price ... The pouch included is so good! ... The pouch supplied is very nice! It has this metal clapse around the rim and shuts tight when closed, this is a very nice case specially for the price. ... It can fit a smal dongle dac like the fiio ka11 and the iem ... The cable included is fantastic! I use them with more expensive iems sometimes ... The cable supplied is very good it terminates to 3.5mm at one end and 2 pin at the other. ... Also bonus points for the cable for it having a chin slider which works very well ... I personally would recommend them for the price, for the fantastic pouch and the cable alone! ... I really love the cable and pouch provided, you can buy the gate just for it and be happy."
"Inclusion of good cable ... the GATe uses the same cable as the Hola, which is one of the best in this price range. It's very soft and doesn’t retain memory. ... come with a very good cable ... Much much better! I really like the cable, even more than zero twins and hexa cables."
"Nice pouch ... you get a magnetic carrying pouch similar to what a-brand-that-should-not-be-named on reddit offers with their IEMs. I don’t recall getting a carrying pouch with any IEMs below $20, let alone one of this quality. ... include my favorite type of pouch with a magnetic closing mechanism. ... comes with a pouch as well so you can put away nearly after using it."

"Very comfortable shells ... there’s really nothing to complain about comfort since there are no sharp edges and the nozzle is not particularly wide."
"The gate are really comfortable to wear and I have had no problems wearing them for 6-7 hours."
"Ergonomics are even better for my ear on the Gate than the Hola ... It's really comfortable, light weight, and the shape maintains a good seal/placement on my ear."

"When there was a lot happening in the scene with bombs exploding and guns firing at average to higher volumes the gate did sound a bit piercy and sense of space did fall for that moment."
"The highs sound one dimensional."
"The soundstage of the gate is average overall. They seem to have better depth than width. When listening to galactic funk live by cassiopea the claps by the audience had a good space, but the spacing of the instruments sounded a bit cramped."

"Very few reasons to upgrade from the Hola, which seemed like a more “timbrically-mature” IEM"
"at this price range it won't be any really bug upgrade if you wanna hear major difference you gotta bring your budget to around 50"
"There's a slight increase in the clarity and quality of sound but I dont find MUCH of an improvement considering I used cheap TWS before. ... There is a difference but not so much of a difference like how people described it as."

"which are considered very treble forward and the sharpest sounding non-KZ IEMs in their price range ... other IEMs that people might be upgrading from had even sharper treble, even with better tips."
"The Gate comes across as a little more bass light, with increased energy in the upper mids/treble. ... those wanting a new version of the Hola, which had a beautiful relaxed sound, may be disappointed in the upwards tilt towards treble."
"Sound is okay but it's really bright. ... i just find it too bright."
