Bought this one because I was actually looking for something different to add to my collection. Surprising it quickly became my favourite single DD mostly because to me it sounds like an evolution of the CRA+ or a more technical Whizzer HE01.
@@colddish Personally I like the Gimlet more. Treble has better extension on the Gimlet and and I personally think the Gimlet has better detail retrieval.
I found my secret sauce for the QoA Gimlet thanks to Micheal Bruce……DEEP insertion. It changes this set entirely. All for the better. Now it is my favorite LCP.
C2 is really sharp and bright. If you can hear layering, separation, and soundstage through that, then C2. Gimlet is more of a slightly bright, but not enough mid-upper treble to move out the soundstage. It is very hard to find all 4 in affordable sets but most detail seekers will get along with C2 and it is at the right price.
@@PaulWasabii I have c2 which I like a lot though it could be too bright sometimes with some tracks but it's fun ✌️I mod it, it's quite heavy in the low region and more open anyways thanks for the reply.
Tough choice as Gimlet really tried to be different from the other Harman sets like Ouranos. Ouranos is the safer choice but if you are clear on your preferences, then Gimlet is a great choice. Shells are a bit heavy and chip easily on Gimlet also.
TH-cam is brutal. I can turn off ads and TH-cam reserves the right to put ads there anyway. That is why everyone turns on ads, can't get rid of them but better a few dollars ends up in your pocket for the same amount of ads.

Have been checking out HE01 or HE10 for warmth or vocal centric sound. Would you think Gimlet is a good choice?

Yeah! It’s good. I like it better than T3+ and Aria.
This is a beautiful IEM
Yeah, kind of amazing build for the price. Not sure how they pulled it off actually.

Awesome. I need to give them another shot but I'd still take EA500 but not LCP.
@@PaulWasabii I just got the EA500 and it is far superior to the gimlet.
look nice
look nice.
It looks better in person and the shells are enamel over metal. Chips easily but looks great new.
How is this set compared to c2 in detail retrieval, layering, separation and soundstage?

The mids are not forward on this set. What are you talking about?
I'd say the set is extremely sensitive to your music. I could have done the review in 3 different ways with 3 different tracks.
Heard Gimlet is ceramic, read it's metal, who knows. Will you be reviewing the Hola? and comparing it to Aria.
Whatever it is, a bit heavy and has a real solid feel to it.
Gimlet or ouranos?

@@PaulWasabii which one is more natural tone and more balance among the two? Or is there any option would you like to suggest?
This shade of green and gold looks dope! Too bad the tuning is so weird
I don't know about weird, but different.
So many ads ☹️
