Devialet Gemini

I had the first version of these earbuds and liked them so much that I then bought the second version. They sound incredible. I hear much more nuance with these earbuds than any other buds or cans I’ve tried. I own a lot of different pairs and I’ve never heard such a well defined sound stage. You will likely need to roll off a decent amount of high end to avoid ear strain even at modest volumes. There is a problem with the with what I’m guessing is the noise cancellation algorithm in the firmware. Any small click or clinking sound in your environment makes the earbuds fail. This happens in noise cancellation and transparency modes. You have to take them out of your ears and put them back in to reset them. This got worse for me after the latest firmware update. Don’t try to unload the dishwasher while using these because they will stop multiple times! The good news is that this that Devialet could pretty easily fix this with a firmware update. With that said, these earbuds have an incredible voice isolation algorithm when used for phone calls. I have used them in very loud environments and caller can’t hear a thing. Well done.

So far all is good.. regarding the ease of using the earbuds and the app. The sound, however, is AMAZING. I’m very impressed with the amount of bass that these little earbuds are able to generate!!! I’ve wanted to use earbuds for awhile, but until now I wasn’t able to find a pair that: 1. Didn’t fall out of my ears 2. Were comfortable 3. Produced the quality of sound that I desired after having gotten used to high end over ear headphones 4. Actually produced BASE with enough depth that allowed me to enjoy my favorite hip hop/ jazz/ binaural beats and everything in between. 5. Not only didn’t fall out of my ears, but feel secure enough where I’m not constantly worrying about them falling out, and having to adjust them…. Like those white ones that apple tried to create - but don’t even come close to these fine earbuds. Thank you Devialet!! I’ve finally found (or rather- you’ve designed) the earbuds I’ve been searching for!!! By the way - I just want to mention that I was not compensated in any way for this review. I’m always skeptical when I read reviews because the amount of paid for or compensated reviews now sadly far exceed the number of “real” reviews!

While early adopters may have downgraded their ratings due to firmware bugs, etc. at the launch of the product, Devialet once again delivers a far superior sounding product than anything else on the market. Whatever was written in early reviews and ratings has been resolved. Do not let the size of these earbuds deceive you. The depth of sound across the spectrum is spectacular. They are incredibly comfortable to wear with no long term fatigue. Sound cancelling and transparency modes work flawlessly. Six band equalization along with presets provide complete control and customization. Charging case is well designed and ear buds seat firmly into charging cradles unlike other brands. I started my Devialet journey with a pair of Phantom Gold speakers that are unparalleled in sound quality and technology. The Devialet Geminis follow in those same footsteps. Highly recommended.
