Devialet ventured into the world of true wireless stereo TWS) earbuds in 2020, and now the second generation Devialet Gemini II promises significant improvements over its predecessor.

As someone who’s used the first generation Devialet earbuds, I can immediately attest to the substantial upgrades in the design of the case. The original bulky and impractical case has been replaced with one that’s sleek, compact, and fits perfectly into a coin pocket. The case features an intriguing design with polymer top and bottom sections and a shiny metallic-coated strip encircling its centre. While white and black are the standard colour options, a premium Opéra de Paris edition boasts 24-carat gold plating on the central strip for a touch of luxury.

Devialet also managed to reduce the size of the earbuds, albeit slightly. They weigh only 6g and offer a more comfortable in-ear experience. The smaller size also ensures a better fit for those with smaller ears, addressing a pain point of the first-gen Gemini. Visually, the earbuds retain the same design as their predecessor, featuring a faceplate reminiscent of Devialet’s Phantom speakers. Under the hood, a new custommade 10mm driver with a titanium-coated membrane promises improved sound quality.
