Introduction
GATE, a cost-effective dynamic driver in-ear headphones, adopts an N52 magnet double-cavity internal magnetic circuit dynamic driver and a brand-new carbon LCP high-rigidity diaphragm. It features a redesigned cavity ID, high-quality oxygen-free copper cable, and excellent objective indicators.
Innovative Design and Comfort
The GATE is designed as a cost-effective and comfortable IEM. Its appearance has been redesigned, the cavity weight has been reduced, and the diaphragm and acoustic structure of the driver have been further optimized. The 0.78mm 2pin interchangeable design offers convenience and expanded playability.
Drivers
GATE uses a 10MM internal magnetic circuit dynamic driver with frontal-cavity filter optimization and diaphragm specialization, optimizing the structure and diaphragm rigidity.
Advanced Diaphragm Material
The new carbon LCP diaphragm material in GATE makes it more rigid than standard LCP diaphragms, improving high-frequency sensitivity. The ultra-thin PU enhances the bass texture and ensures safe diaphragm operation.
Optimized Structure
The structural strength has been optimized to fully utilize the acoustic characteristics of the new diaphragm while minimizing the deformation of the 10mm speaker during metal stamping. This ensures consistent production and acoustics.
Lightweight Coil
A large CCAW ultra-thin coil ensures a lightweight and reliable suspension system.
Excellent Objective Indicators
The GATE features a brand-new diaphragm material and optimized acoustic structure, resulting in minimal linear distortion and improved high-frequency extension compared to previous models. It ensures excellent frequency-amplitude response with HRTF characteristics, delivering a balanced, durable, and enjoyable sound with reasonable bass gains.
Furthermore, the GATE exhibits exceptional nonlinear distortion, with measured distortion in most frequency bands being less than 0.2% under non-anechoic room and 104dB SPL. This results in a clean background and allows for personalized EQ adjustments without any negative effects.
Snug Fit with Brand-New ID Design
The GATE's cavity design has been fine-tuned based on HOLA, optimizing the appearance with a transparent faceplate. The PC+ABS composite injection cavity ensures a lightweight yet stable structure. New ear tips provide admirable listening and minimize discomfort, enhancing the audio experience.
High-Quality Oxygen-Free Cable
GATE ships with a multi-core high-quality oxygen-free copper cable, featuring a 2pin thick-twisted-pair with high-quality cable skin for a tangle-free experience. It combines with a universal 0.78mm 2pin socket (female sunken type) for convenient and reliable usage.

Best connector you can find considering the price on the product. Very durable, good quality, worked perfectly fine for 6 months. But the wire is a bit weak near the type C pin area. That's why After continuous use of the connector for months it broke.
Great chipset and awesome packaging. The DAC is quite well polished. But there is nothing to grip onto while removing them from my phone or laptop, and I often to rely on the wire itself for grip. As the connectors doesn't have a sleeve, there is a risk of tear in the wire.
These are great pair of iems just not for absolute beginners. to make them reach their absolute potential you will have to mess with eq and find your sweet spot after that it's all smooth sailing from there. Also the mic is super clear for the price. the outer shell is light but transparent look isn't for me. keep fidgeting with eq and ear tips.
From dehradun uttrakhand good delivery service 👍
Other place services I don't know ,don't say anything
Build quality is good and it's go to DAC
The product has some static noise and the sound quality is better when I directly use without using DAC but while using it is not the same, you can buy it if you want one but I think there would better product with some more investment.
As usual dac delivers super quality sound with price less that 1000 rs it's worth it.
Very good DAC and AMP; nice braided soft cable and build quality. The included iem case is a bonus! Very happy with the purchase, should've purchased this earlier :')
It's an amazingproductforthe price
It is really good for the price
My combo : Apple Music + D07 + kz zs10 pro 2 / CCA trio
Build quality and audio clarity
Combo of cx31993 max97220 chip is more than sufficient to drive any iems
The D07 has really impressed me with its sound clarity and detail. Music feels more alive, and it handles high-res tracks smoothly. For such a compact device, it delivers excellent performance. Now that I’ve experienced what the D07 can do, I’m seriously considering the D08 for that next-level audio boost!
I was previously using FIIO JA11 but it's cable got worn off within like 5 months. The bass on it was okayish. But the base of the CX31993 is much better in comparison and the treble is also just fine, not squeaky like FIIO one.
Very detailed sound and wide sound stage
The quality of the product really good and audiostore experience as well

If you loved Sennheiser ie 400 pro you'll probably love this too. Retains its dynamics and soundstage even with apple dongle (USA not EU) so it's easy to drive .
Great little DAC! Clean, detailed sound with better clarity, tighter bass, and good instrument separation. Compact, easy to use, and a solid upgrade for any IEM.
My first pair of IEM and I absolutely loved it🥰
I’ll recommend the audio store and purchase more in future
The product has a sturdy build and the ring light adds a clean, aesthetic touch that enhances its overall look. Using it with my KZ Castor Harmon Edition feels like listening to my favorite song for the very first time, with sound quality that is clear and immersive. It works smoothly with both Samsung devices and Windows, and the customization options on Windows make it highly versatile. The quick delivery in just one day was the icing on the cake, making this a well-rounded purchase that combines design, performance, and convenience.
Pairing this Harman Target Version with a Samsung A17 playing Apple Music and FLAC files and Fiio X1 DAP as a secondary source with FLAC files. When tuned to give preference to Mids as i prefer to hear the voices more than anything else, this comes out as a sweet sounding combination and tracks like Racy Chapmans Fast Car and Massive Attacks Teardrop shine beautifully. The Castor Pros are best listened at about 40% volume and and infact they do actually sound amazing at a high volume for bass heavy tracks such as EDM but for Trance and Rock the cymbals and snare drums sound better at 40%. This pair of iems and the combo sounds like money well spent so far and next i want to try analytical IEMs like the 7Hz. Thanks to the Audio Store for the rushed delivery.
Great purchase... excellent product
Good Product as expected
Worth every penny! This is not for bassheads as it lacks just a bit on the bass department, but the separation is awesome and the sound stage is also huge. Awesome for gaming as well! (Apex Legends, Arc Raiders, PUBG)
This is the replacement for my purchase of moon drop dsp chu2 which I bought in aug 2025 i don't know how it got damaged from last it stopped working on left side buds and after a few days mic also stopped working and i forgot to claim the warranty for it . So find this spare cable very helpful since I love these IEMS for real Tq AUDIO STORETEAM FOR THE smooth delivery
Great job on packing of the product. As a gamer I can say that, for fps games like PUBG , CS2 etc., Castor Pro is the best in under ₹2000
I recently bought this and am incredibly impressed with it. The build quality feels solid and premium right out of the box.
When it comes to performance, the amplification is fantastic—it delivers a clear, noticeable boost to the audio power and volume without sacrificing clarity. It is also incredibly easy to use; completely plug-and-play with zero hassle.
An awesome bonus is the inclusion of the Type-A to Type-C dongle/adapter. It makes it incredibly versatile to connect to different devices right away without needing to buy extra accessories.
Overall, it's a great purchase and definitely worth the money. If you are on the fence, just get it!
As an all rounder it fits my taste quite well,the only problem it really has is the male vocals being a bit recessed (not terribly recessed if you use vocal eartips),they are a tad bit overpriced seemingly,divine planar might be better,but for people looking for a fun entry into iem's,it's worth the price (some people say it's included DAC isn't enough,it works well enough as a temporary solution,yet to test if a dac makes a big difference or not).
Unsure if this is how most iem's are but the cable felt a tad bit short.
I had never used an IEM before, so this was my very first experience and I was genuinely impressed. As someone who loves music, I can confidently say this is one of the best investments you can make for audio quality. The sound is exceptional and absolutely worth the price.
To get the best possible audio experience, I would also recommend pairing it with a good-quality DAC, as it significantly enhances the overall output. ....
This is the most balanced sounding IEM I've used in this price. I am using the Type C variant, and I haven't experienced any issue regarding the playback whatsoever. It is equipped with the DAC chip CX31993, which is found on the dedicated DACs around the price of 1K. The cable is also a 4-core silver plated copper one, with really nice build quality. These are also really responsive to EQ Settings, tweaking the audio balance using a 10 or 31 band EQ makes the experience even more versatile.
The only cons I have noticed are regarding the in-box ear tips, I didn't find them to be very comfortable, so I had switch them with some other ear tips. Although, the metal built of the IEMs give them a really premium feeling, the glossy surface is extremely prone to scratches and they still get scratched even after using cautiously.
It is best in budget dac.
