@@ShardsoundsSadly, moisture issues can't really be universally fixed. It's a problem with all Metal Shell IEMs. If you live somewhere generally cold/humid, moisture builds up in your ears and block the nozzles. I wish I knew about this problem before I bought my Simgot EW200.
@@Shardsounds I'm pretty sure it's because most if not all Wired Moondrop IEMs have Metal shells. Thus, moisture issues still happen, regardless of the drivers. I own the Moondrop Space Travel (TWS) which is also a single DD yet I never get moisture issues because it's an All Plastic shell.
I was looking for something that sounded balanced, not too much bass, and had a natural sound. I bought Wan'er, 7hz Zero, and Gate. I prefer Gate and it's not even close.
I still have my Hola as daily drivers (correct spelling in the box version). Love the cable and the sound. I have been waiting for a good replacement at the same pricepoint, but there's no competition lol. My only gripe is the obviously unemphasized high-end. A tiny bass boost, better mid-range compliance and a 2db boost in the high end is perfect.
I think slight treble boost will make even better. Its cable is brilliance for the price. It easily surpasses my waner and edx pro cable combine, that is how good it is imho.
I like bright sets, and then I found the CCA CRA (silent update). I didn't have to look any further. Surprising clarity and detail at that price. I prefer it over the TinHiFi C2 and that's no slouch either.
I’m surprised to see that the Kiwi Ears Cadenza isn’t on the Hangout site, I know Timmy doesn’t care for it much but it seems to be a general fan-favorite. Has Crin by chance openly given his opinion on it somewhere?
Got it a few days ago, upper mid.s actually hurt on louder listening levels (or should I say falls apart...). At least it took EQ well enough, will use till I get something better from another brand.
why you shouldn't buy the gate(in my opinion): if you already have the hola. I got one gate as a gift and let's say that I prefer the hola, guess I am more of a bass lover.
Mine at least measure identically, but with a different tilt. I found Gate shouty, the bass poor quality and lacking in amount to balance that. 3/5 for me while Hola was 4/5.
yeah i had the same impression, i thought that it lacks technicalities and that it there is not enough details and stuff, but i started appreciating that tuning over time that is so relaxing and u can listen to it for long sessions
i wonder how ALL these budget iem works with expensive(relatively) balanced setup. i recently soldered a 1$ MX300 clone to a 4.4 plug(cost me 2$ 😂), shit evolved into the mid tier stuff.
There are gonna be great deals on 11.11? Im waiting! Otherwise I'll pass (I'm already happy with Dunu kima, Zero 2 and Chu II). BUT! In case of a great bargain, I could open my wallet again. 😁
My Hola hovers inside my ear. There is no eartips that helps me 😢 It’s a shame. Tri clarion help me appreciate my Hola for 20 minutes and after that they fall from my ears I believe they are very light idk Help some one? 😅
I have same problem with gate it’s a very shallow shell. Deeper insertion tips like some generic jvc dual flange helped a bunch and now the gate sounds incredibly good, especially for its price
@ravantgarde1899 Thank you very much!Do you have any other suggestions, because me4 have driver flexing issue.My reference songs are: Sandstorm by Darude,Encore une fois by DJ Sash and I feel love by Dona Sumer.
i'm buy this iem a week ago, can you suggest cable upgrade for this iem sir? i'm notice the 0.78mm dual pin on gate original cable rather unique not many dual pin cable fit on gate many thanks before 🙏
@@Omar_ZXThey have the same graph, only difference is that gate is slightly bassier, but has less of a drop at 11k. So Waner SE is just straight up better.
y'all talking about "better" when the tuning is just different when seeing different graphs it's closer to the Xuan NV already reviewed in this channel, but for $20
SIR, does ZERO:RED require more power than usual IEM to deliver sound? Because it doesn't sound rich like my previous Salnotes Zero. I am using Venture Electronic Abigail Pro (CX31993) (31mW@32Ω) with my android phone. Is it my aging that is effecting my perception of sound? Please Verify.
@@niccster1061 My ZERO:RED doesn't sound richer than Salnotes Zero. I do have not unrealistic expectations but at least it should sound better than 20$ Price Bracket IEMs.
Call me crazy but the Hola was overhyped. It sounded pretty good but it was a bit dark and I didn't feel like the music was really pumped right into my head, more like music was coming from outside speakers.
i had this impression at the beggining because my first iem was the moondrop chu og which was bright but i couldnt listen to it for long sessions cuz it was harsh, then hola seemed kind of boring in a way but the bass was better but still for some reason i wanted more bass punch, but slowly i started appreciating that is smooth and warm and u dont get fatigue, zero:2 for example sometimes feels more aggressive cuz of more bass, which made hola stand out as a more relaxed iem which there was none at that price point
Come buy now at Hangout.Audio: hangout.audio/products/truthear-gate
I tried to order but at checkout it says doesn't ship to the UK?
@@gisburnroadprobably has a higher cost to ship since the items will come from Singapore
Truthear Hola was too good for their own good
Good and bad are RELATIVE. 😉
Incidentally, are you VEGAN? 🌱
Raise the price of the hola if markup costs are too high ❌
Remove it from the market and develop a cheaper similar sounding hola ✅
Absolute legendary move
By similar you mean worse?
@@donth826 I haven't tried them lol
Tldr the sound of the hola is better and the hola's build is much better
"Only so much you can do at that budget..."
enter Moondrop Chu build...
thankfully this is balanced out by moondrop's poor qc (channel imbalance on arrival) and frequent moisture issues

I'll be honest I bought the gate for the cable, which I will use for spares when I get my truthear red and hexa XD
@@thatguyreiji1045 this is the way. And the cable comes with a free IEM
literally my setup, gate cable, hexa iems
It's a great value, I was testing it against the Red when mine got here two days ago
Which DAC do you use?
Can you guys read and reply to my other comment on this video? I wanna know what's happening with my ZERO:RED.
No one would have complained if they increased the price of Hola by $2/$3. I think the wyvern Abyss at $20ish (when on sale) is a much better buy.
I bought them just for the kebl.
It's "Gato" btw.
Yes! That’s a community agreement. gato 😅
Hola > Gate!!
Yea I have bought like 3 gates and have barely listened to it I toss that trash in a drawer somewhere and put the cable on other iems
Hola with a proper eq for me sounded almost as good as the Aria SE +- the bass and clearer vocals on the Aria SE
It's just a $20 unit but feels like a huge win every time when it mentioned 😂
Got it a few days ago, upper mid.s actually hurt on louder listening levels (or should I say falls apart...). At least it took EQ well enough, will use till I get something better from another brand.
I’m glad I got my Hola for retail price just after it went out of production

Please review and measure (5128) the Kefine Klean! Seems to be really well tuned, maybe the best in the 50$ region
Mine at least measure identically, but with a different tilt. I found Gate shouty, the bass poor quality and lacking in amount to balance that. 3/5 for me while Hola was 4/5.
Lucky im still keep hola till this day
I wish they still sold the Hola.
This is what I've been waiting for
Where is blue 2?????
I once buy the Hola just for it's cable
3rd, I like my Zero 2, Waner & Ziigaat Nuo.
Nuo is great
Gate is great, it quickly made me regret my Wan Ers
@@zmmmzmmmz It's subjective and conditional, it's normal😂
@@cakephone7893yep, and I love my wanner!
The nuo is just a slightly worse hola and the gate is a cheap chu with a good cable
I love my Holas
I love my gate!!!
Watching this with nova
I really don't like the Hola. Not because it sounds bad, but they just don't fit my ears. I ordered the Gate and I'll see if they fit better
ill buy yours if your open
It's like the exact same iem that just made cheaper and sounds worse
I still love my Holas.
I can't sell hola year ago, but with time I so liked it that don't consider know to sell it at all)) In some way its my reference iem
yeah i had the same impression, i thought that it lacks technicalities and that it there is not enough details and stuff, but i started appreciating that tuning over time that is so relaxing and u can listen to it for long sessions
Speaking of unusual pronunciations, before this review, I used to say Gah-tey. It’s got more weeb vibes this way.
I noticed the gate isn’t graphed on the 711…are you still updating the old lists at all?
Hola irreplaceable honestly, imo whole successor story is not working in a favor of gate
what I'm rocking now lol
i really like it
holes sound way better, tried both i guess they wanted to make more profit
In an almost 7 minute video, you only showed the product for a TOTAL of about 35 seconds INCLUDING the packaging... lol?
So sad the Hola was discontinued. It was the only budget option that was easy to listen to that wasn’t the Final E500.
Chu2 is pretty good
Just got one.. feels cheap. Sounds meh.. average?
Truthear x crinacle zero blue 2
listening to this on a hola 🔥
Por favor, disponibilize o áudio em português para os brasileiros. Ficaremos muito gratos.
What are good IEM's for budget Gaming?
tin hifi c2 mesh warrior is the best for the budget sector
Been telling people that for year atleast. I tried the new one and I like the old 1 better. The new 1 is good but I still prefer the old 1.
I feel so bad for buying just one pair of holas
Yea if I had known I would have bought like 2 more.
i wonder how ALL these budget iem works with expensive(relatively) balanced setup. i recently soldered a 1$ MX300 clone to a 4.4 plug(cost me 2$ 😂), shit evolved into the mid tier stuff.
make the for the Tengzu Waner as well
Can anyone create a auto eq for this to make it sound like hola or something?
Ada Gate Cuy 😄
I still got my hola and and extra unopened hola just in case. And just in case happened
This is how I find out my top shopping wishlist iem has been discontinued 😟😟😟
Where have you been? It's been months
Not unpopular opinion: Hola is better than Gate
Then why does it say Halo everywhere else on the box? Conspiracy?
This or Salnotes Zero?
I prefer gate in terms of sound
There are gonna be great deals on 11.11? Im waiting! Otherwise I'll pass (I'm already happy with Dunu kima, Zero 2 and Chu II).
BUT! In case of a great bargain, I could open my wallet again. 😁
