Devialet – True Wireless Earbuds – Gemini II – Iconic White – Daily Music & Commute – Exceptional Sound Quality – Noise Cancellation – Comfort Fit

The absolute best earbuds on the market (*with an adjustment or two)
There are several reviewers of these earbuds that have expressed frustration with the out-of-the-box sound quality or have generally been underwhelmed by them in comparison to the considerable price tag — and they are not wrong: when I first tried these upon receiving them yesterday, I thought they were about as good as my AirPod Pros–which are fine for what they are, but for those, I paid less than half of what I paid for the Gemini IIs.So, it’s a good thing that I kept reading/researching and eventually discovered that (a) the firmware update awaiting these is crucial to the quality of the sound, particularly the noise cancellation and (b) the dedicated Devialet Gemini app is absolutely necessary, both to completing firmware updates AND to fine-tuning the EQ. (I wish these had blown me away right out of the box, but it did take that update and an EQ adjustment to determine that, of the 30+ bluetooth earbuds I’ve owned over the last two decades, these pretty much tower above the rest.)I used to be an audio engineer for Dolby, so you would think that I could easily put into words what makes the Gemini IIs so impressive, but it’s almost a transcendent experience; you simply have to try them yourself. I’ll do my best, though: After futzing with the equalizer and ultimately determining that the Dynamic setting is best for most music, what I heard was astounding clarity and and a sound stage that is simply unrivaled. The bass-to-treble-to-mids ratio was virtually perfect, song to song. I felt enveloped by music in a way I hadn’t before with anything wireless. These even rival some of the best studio over-ear monitors I’ve used in their ability to place the listener in the center of the performance. I got chills — and my friend, who is not an audiophile, felt the same way when he tried them.The drawback? This is a hefty pricetag for a pair of earbuds — and I’d never be comfortable working out using them or doing any strenuous activity during which I might sweat on them (I suspect that they aren’t really built for this). So, the portability is a bit ironic because there’s a limited about of places I’d be comfortable going and physical activities I’d be willing to do wearing these and not worrying about them. (All that said, they are very comfortable, relatively light, and they feel secure in my ears.)But if you are willing to make the investment and can accept that caveat — and know, going in, that the app is necessary to enriching your experience — these will likely blow you away. (I’m an audio snob. I think the Audeze i3s are tremendously overrated/overpriced, that the Dunu Studio SA6 MK2s just don’t deliver, and that virtually every Bluetooth earbud comes up short in some fashion.) The Devialet Gemini IIs are on a very short list of audio products that have genuinely left my jaw on the floor.

They were great but…
So the sound quality hands down is fantastic on parcel with samsung xm 1005 or whatever and the bowers and wilkins pi8 my only 2 gripe s were the noise canceling was not to good and when you used the ambient sound setting if you had any sharp noises like dropping trays or something in a warehouse it would immediately blow the speakers and you would have to reset them to use them again making them inefficient for warehouse work or where there’s loud equipment while the others I mentioned do not blow I have both other pairs and so it just doesn’t warrant the pricing of these earbuds for the issues it has and call quality was told twice to me that I sounded weird or bad.

The Best – Gemini 11
First a big shout out to Devialet Customer Service team. I had an issue with the left earbud making a connection with the case. I reached out to there CS dept. and instead of trying to diagnose the issue they told me to send them back and they would send me a new pair. I returned my earbuds to New York, but the new buds were shipped out from France the next day UPS express and of course if i didn’t have bad luck i would have no luck at all they were held up in customs in France. I reached out to Devialet CS Dept. in the morning and within a couple of hours they had been released and were on their way. Two days later I received them.First let me say that I am a Audiofile I love music and I care about sound foremost and everything else is just a bonus.I will touch on the ANC it is a 8 out of 10 comparing to Sony’s WF-1000XM5 which are the best as far as ANC goes. Devialet App is very good with the ability to change what each tap of left and right bud does ( pause,play etc.) and equalizer that is very responsive with several presets that are available or you can customize your own settings. Now for the sound it is truly the best I have heard from a set of earbuds, and I have had some premium earbuds including as mentioned the Sony WF-1000XM5, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, Technics AZ80 and B&W PI 7 S2. The Soundstage is wide with instruments well placed within the soundstage. Bass is deep and tight and punches between your ears to rattle your brain. The only Bass that I have heard to be equal would be the B&O Beoplay’s. Instruments are crisp and clean piano well piano sounds like a piano, kick drum sounds like a kick drum you get the idea these buds just rock. Are they worth the price? Yes, if you want the best sounding buds currently on the market.
