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.

Awesome product 😎
Great tips
Very comfortable with a good seal. No more worry about wax entering the vents. Quality is excellent
I was wondering, whether to buys Fosi Audio ZD3 for my MC351 Amp/ FiiO BTR-15 for my Sennheiser IE200, hmm have to purchase two devices, still no Bluetooth receiver with LDAC/Apt-x lossless).. Here I got this as a hybrid. 1. Works as desktop DAC connected with PC or Bluetooth Receiver for home/on-the go during travelling, small, cute and compact, here is the deal breaker.. I found to replace all three devices (1. ZD3, 2. Fiio BTR-15 3. Fiio BR-13) all in once small DAC... so why not to purchase my dear audiophiles, testing is in progress, volume feels little low, still using 3.5 mm, not had chance to check 4.4 mm female port yet, where it shows true colors, waiting for 4.4 mm cable for my IEM.. will update my review soon.. Boom Boom: How to unlock volume from 15 to 30 Steps to Maximize Volume & Clarity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To fix the low volume while maintaining the high audio detail of the dual CS43198 DACs, follow these steps:
Unlock the Volume:
On the HiBy W4 screen, go to Settings > About.
Tap the firmware version number (e.g., "HiBy W4 1.00") 5 times rapidly to enable Developer Options.
Go to the new Developer Options menu and turn Volume Lock to "OFF". This allows the volume to reach its true maximum (30/30).
Set to High Gain: Enter the Audio Settings menu on the W4 and change the Gain setting to High. This increases the output voltage, providing a stronger signal for the MC351's RCA inputs.
Manual Line Out: Since there is no fixed Line Out, manually set the HiBy W4 volume to 27 or 28 out of 30. This mimics a standard 2V line-level signal without introducing digital clipping. Enjoy.. :D

This iem was recommended to me by youtuber Rohitagni Mukherjee and indeed it was a good recommendation.
The KZ EDX Pro offers a clean V-shaped sound signature with punchy sub-bass and energetic treble. Bass has good extension without muddying the mids, and vocals remain clear though slightly recessed. Treble adds sparkle but can get mildly sharp on bright tracks.
Instrument separation and soundstage are impressive for a single dynamic driver at this price point. Solid build, detachable cable, and comfortable fit make it a great entry-level IEM for detailed listening on a budget.
The included EarAudio carry case is compact and sturdy, offering decent protection for daily use. The zipper feels smooth, and it easily fits the IEMs without forcing the cable. A practical addition that helps with portability and storage.
I got the AUDIOCULAR SPARK Hi-Res Portable DAC Dongle (CX31993 + MAX Amp), and it’s totally worth every rupee 💸. At first, I thought using a DAC was unnecessary since my phone already has a headphone jack, but I was wrong 🤔. The moment I plugged it in, the sound quality jumped by at least 50%—louder, clearer, with way more detail in background instruments and vocals 🎶. It’s a one-time investment that seriously upgrades your listening experience, especially with budget IEMs like my KZ Caster Pro 🎧. If you’re into good sound and have the budget, get it—you won’t regret it. Better than expected. Thanks, me later 😎👍.
Love the iems, they are my first iems and my god these things beat everything I've ever used.
Does feel a little more on a heavier side, or maybe I'm not getting a hang of em just yet. As for this price it does not disappoint, for the sound quality ethics its 3.7/5. You guys Can go for Vader Pro series not sure if you appreciate +1/2 score(4.2/5), they does sound better.
Jus a little guide for you all if you're considering KZ under 3k range, Castor pro < Duonic Enhanced < Vader 3 pro Enhanced.
Didn't thought I would be this spacious, Zip feels sturdy let the time tell. Would recommend as to now.
Here is an IEM which bifercates sound distinctively in all 3 levels - the Highs, Mids and Lows that produces such a crisp and clear representation of your favourite music. Even if V signature is not your thing this will change that. People who prefer HM reference would want to switch after giving these a try. Top it up with EARgonomic metal shells that KZ is known for creates a perfect seal even with stock eartips. So, if you own a Castor Pro, Zsn Pro 2 or Trio and love them then this totally upper tier.
Audiostore did a good job in delivering these, BEFORE TIME.
So, yeah loved the overall experience.
Tnx
The most comfortable IEMs I have ever used. Resolution, soundstage, and instrument separation — all in one package — make it a one-of-a-kind experience. Such a great all-rounder. If you’re considering buying these, don’t think twice — you won’t regret it. Heartfelt thanks to Mr. Pritam for supporting and endorsing the decision.
Very good service
