Artti T10

  • Z-Reviews: The Artti T10 is a 14.2 mm planar dressed in an unapologetically industrial shell—textured, raw, almost “1980s test-gear” chic. In the box: case and a solid cable with a 3.5 mm or 4.4 mm ...
  • Audio Amigo: The best value planar on the market. Essentially a slightly less sparkly S12 for half the money. *Moves up to "You Should Buy This" if on sale for $50 or less*

Letshuoer x Gizaudio Galileo

  • Jays Audio: Clean and neutral signature with empahsis in the midrange. Best vocals before Orch Lite $100-->Replaced by DZ4.
  • Precogvision: Quite inoffensive but smoothed-over. Needs more resolution and sense of dynamics.
  • Shuwa-T: Comment: A poor man's Diva with worse technicalities and less extension.  Solid tuning, balanced throughout with slight emphasis on female vocals  Treble rolls off prematurely
  • Nymz: Great tuning that follows along my preferences, but falls short in the last field of the treble region. A great value overall.
  • Audionotions: Smooth and relaxing done well. Very, very pleasant, mid-focused tonality. The vocals are very good, as you'd expect of something that Timmy concocted. One can definitely hear the treble roll-off, and...

Truthear Zero: Blue 2

  • Jays Audio: Fun sub-woofer sound in the low-end, nice bouncy textue, but uppermids/treble can be too bright, especially with 15K treble peak. Basically a more v-shaped version of the OG TE Zeros. Vocals can be a...
  • Gizaudio Axel:  Harman tuning with clean, punchy bass and great resolution.  Bright treble.
  • Jaytiss: BASS With the adapter this goes up a bit, but it is difficult to recomend.
  • Tim Tuned: Pros: Slightly more balanced and pleasing Harman tuned. Cons: Treble with silicone tips is piercing.
  • Super* Review: Harman target tuned. Sounds pretty V and contrasty. Not a whole lot of mids. Fairly tasteful. Good sense of separation. Sterile/Lifeless mids and annoying treble. Needs foam eartips.
  • Head-Fi.org: 8 community members have rated the Truthear Zero: Blue 2 at an average of 3.8/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Strongly Favorable.
  • Audio Amigo: Seems to showcase my least favorite parts of the Harman Target. Lower mids are thin and anemic, treble is overblown and fatiguing. Foam tips help with treble, bass adapter helps with lower mids....

Truthear Gate

  • Jays Audio: All rounder with less uppermids than the EW100P, very close to waner.
  • Jaytiss: Yuck, at least it has a cable.
  • Super* Review: Nice frequency response. Stellar Cable. Bright but not overly in the vocals. I would still call it a mild V-Shaped sound signature.
  • Shuwa-T:  Female vocals focused tuning with decent separation between instrumentals  Because of the over emphasis on female vocals, it does not replay male centric or bassier genres well
  • Head-Fi.org: 22 community members have rated the Truthear Gate at an average of 4.2/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Very Positive.
