Is It Easy To Return An Item?
Yes, simply give us a call at 888.899.8776 or you can email our support team at support@audioadvice.com. Many times our team of experts can help figure out why the product might not be working like you expected and get things fixed over the phone, so don’t be surprised if we ask a few questions, we love troubleshooting!
If our tech help can not make you happy, we will email over a return shipping label with a Return Number.
Hopefully, you saved all of the original item’s box and packaging inserts. You will want to pack back up your return or exchange in the same way it came out of the original box. Once you have everything packaged correctly, tape the box on the top and bottom to assure it stays together. If Audio Advice shipped the item to you inside a second box, it's a good idea to use that same extra box to help prevent damage on its way back to us. To avoid it accidentally coming back to you, use a magic marker to cross out the old shipping label or just tear it off.
The return shipping label we send you will have our address on it, just make sure you take the box to the right shipper (UPS, FEDEX, or USPS) as per the label.
If you are close to one of our stores, please let us know if it is more convenient for you to return it to us directly. You will still need to get a return number by contacting us and shipping and/or restocking charges may apply.
When Will I See My Refund?
It usually takes around 7-14 days for the refund to show up on the payment method you used. We do inspect all returns for damage and accuracy of the item inside the box before issuing a refund. Some items may be subject to shipping and restocking fees.
Can I Exchange My Purchase For Something Different?
Sometimes those big speakers just don’t fit in the room or you might have bought a small subwoofer and later found out you’d love a bigger one. If you would like to make an exchange within 30 days of receiving your item, just give us a call at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com and we will help work out the details. Additional shipping charges and return costs may apply.
How Do I Cancel An Order?
If the item has already shipped out or is a special order item, it is not possible to cancel the order. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com to start the return process.
What If I Find Shipping Damage?
We need to know right away about any shipping damage. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com within 48 hours of your delivery so we can get the ball rolling on making things right. It’s very helpful to take some pictures and email them to us if possible.
Can I Refuse A Shipment?
You can, but unless the item is damaged, shipping and restocking fees will be deducted from your refund. If your item arrives damaged and you are lucky enough to be there, snap some quick pics and refuse the order. Then contact us so we can get a replacement on the way.
What Happens If My Order Is Defective?
This is actually pretty rare, most consumer electronics work fine out of the box 99.9% of the time. We’d like for you to contact us first by calling 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com so we can help get to the bottom of things. If your item is indeed defective during the first 30 days, we can usually exchange it for a new, replacement unit.
What About Service After 30 Days?
Audio Advice has a great relationship with all of our brands and can help you with warranty service by the brand after our 30-day guarantee period. Even after the warranty expires, we can arrange for service by the brand on products purchased from Audio Advice. Just call 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
How Do You Determine A Restocking Fee?
You may not believe it, but sometimes we receive items back that were put in the box with zero packaging and are completely destroyed or are missing many of the pieces that came with the item. We also track serial numbers and will get back different serial numbers. We’ve even seen different items than what we shipped out be returned. However, it’s very important to package your return properly so that nothing goes missing or gets damaged in shipping, which will result in a restocking fee or even no refund at all. If a product is opened and the market value of the product is reduced, then a restocking fee may be applied to the cost of restocking and the reduced market value of the product. The bottom line is if you treat us fairly, we will do the same.
Audio Advice strives to provide industry-leading support and service while also maintaining the lowest prices available on products for our customers. We work hard with our vendors to bring our customers the best products at each price point. As a part of that process, we work with our vendors to provide the lowest pricing in our stores and on our website.
Our prices should always be the same as any other authorized dealer, including big-box retailers and major online retailers.
If you believe that you have found a lower advertised price from a legitimate authorized seller, call us and let us know so we can make sure we can correct any inadvertent error on our side. As a matter of policy, we update our prices automatically if a vendor changes its authorized pricing policies, so we generally have the best prices all the time. Increasingly, there are knock-off copies of products online, usually sold by non-authorized dealers.
Please be sure that the item meets the following conditions:
- The item is brand new, in stock, and available for purchase
- The item has the identical model number, color, etc as the item on our site.
- The seller is an authorized dealer
As always, our goal is to provide a terrific customer experience, including industry low prices. We appreciate your support.
Overview
You can’t be in two mindsets at once. Or can you? With second-generation Devialet Gemini II True Wireless earbuds, your feet may be in the ground, but your mind is in another world. Its smaller, more ergonomic design with Devialet Adaptive Noise Cancellation™ condense 15 years of acoustics R&D and engineering to bring you the best of sound, in all its dimensions.
The High Notes
Devialet Adaptive Noise Cancellation
10mm Titanium Coated Driver
22% Smaller Than Previous Generation
In late 2020, Devialet unveiled their vision of truly wireless earbuds with the introduction of the Devialet Gemini. It was evident that the esteemed French audio company aspired for these earbuds to exude both sophistication in design and extraordinary power in sound quality, and they unquestionably succeeded. Fast forward to today, and Devialet has leveraged the knowledge gained from their previous creation to bring us the next evolution in audio technology: the Devialet Gemini II. Boasting a myriad of enhancements, we were eager to delve into the world of these earbuds and explore the exciting new features they bring to the table.
Design & Build Quality
Within the packaging, you'll discover an array of essentials: the charging case, the earbuds, a USB-C cable, and a selection of four distinct eartip sizes, ensuring a customized, secure fit. The fit and craftsmanship of both the case and earbuds are truly exceptional. Despite their compact and lightweight design, they exude a sense of unparalleled quality, both in terms of tactile feel and visual aesthetics.
New Case
This redesigned case represents a remarkable 40% reduction in size and a 35% decrease in weight compared to the original Gemini case, embodying a significant transformation. With a thoughtful redesign, it now features a convenient flip-top lid, granting effortless access to your earbuds while they remain snugly nestled within the case, charging discreetly. While the previous case for the original Gemini earbuds showcased a slick sliding mechanism, which was undoubtedly cool, it tended to occupy more pocket space and occasionally proved unwieldy. Hence, we wholeheartedly embrace the practicality and elegance of this upgraded case.
Colors
The Devialet Gemini II earbuds are available in three stunning variants Iconic White, Matte Black, and the illustrious Opéra de Paris edition which exudes opulence at a premium price point.
The white version boasts silver accents on the earbuds and a shimmering metallic band encircling the case, proudly showcasing the Devialet logo at its center.
In contrast, the matte black edition features a similarly captivating metallic band on the case but in a darker hue, complemented by sophisticated dark gray accents adorning the earbuds.
However, the pinnacle of luxury lies in the Opéra de Paris edition, where the case band is adorned with authentic 22-Carat PVD gold plating, creating a truly regal and exclusive experience.
Features & Technology
Devialet Adaptive Noise Cancellation
Active Noise Cancellation has seamlessly integrated itself into the realm of modern headphones, becoming an indispensable feature. Whether your sanctuary is a bustling coffee shop or a serene escape in the skies, Devialet has masterfully engineered their proprietary technology to transport you there. Leveraging the embedded microphones in each earbud, the Gemini II’s dynamically adjust to the shape of your ear and actively engage with your surroundings, orchestrating a harmonious silence of up to 40dB, allowing you to savor your music without the intrusion of distractions.
While noise cancellation can occasionally compromise sound quality on lower-tier products, introducing unwelcome artifacts and white noise into your auditory experience, Devialet's meticulous engineering shines through. Throughout our rigorous testing, we can confidently assert that this ranks among the elite in noise-canceling earbuds, rivaling, and often surpassing its competitors.
Active Wind Reduction
One of the notable features that piqued our interest is Devialet's implementation of Active Wind Reduction. This feature not only minimizes wind noise while listening to music but also enhances call clarity when using the earbuds for phone conversations. Each embedded microphone is shielded with an anti-wind material, and a specialized cavity protects the microphone membrane from the effects of wind exposure, ensuring that your voice remains exceptionally clear. In addition, Devlialet took an extra step to include a bone-conduction voice sensor along with its beamforming microphones that pick up your voice and then use post-processing algorithms to cut out any unwanted background noise.
To maintain an undisturbed musical experience, Devialet's software detects wind conditions and adjusts the adaptive noise cancellation and transparency mode accordingly, seamlessly adapting to your surroundings while preserving the quality of your music.
Internal Delay Compensation
Devialet has introduced a patented algorithm that discreetly addresses the internal delay produced by the noise cancellation loop. This innovation operates silently in the background, elevating the caliber of noise cancellation, particularly in the realm of higher frequencies.
Bluetooth 5.2 Multipoint
When it comes to earbuds designed for a wide range of tasks like watching content on your phone, taking calls, and enjoying music, versatility is crucial to ensure they remain user-friendly. Thanks to the inclusion of Bluetooth 5.2 and Qualcomm AptX technology, the Gemini II earbuds excel in providing a hassle-free audio experience. You can watch videos on your phone or engage in phone calls without concerns about latency issues.
Additionally, these earbuds offer multipoint connection and auto switch capabilities. This means you can seamlessly connect them to two different devices simultaneously, and they will automatically switch between the devices based on which one you are actively using. Moreover, you can enjoy a wireless range of up to 60 feet, allowing you to leave your phone on the counter and move around your house without worrying about disconnections. These features make the Gemini II earbuds exceptionally convenient for everyday use.
22 Hours of Battery Life
Another feature we loved was the ability to charge the case with wireless charging. There is a USB-C port on the bottom to charge but being able to just set these down on a wireless charger made it so much easier to always have the case charged up and ready to go.
We put the Gemini II’s to the test within a few days of usage. We used them for everyday meetings, casual music listening, and watching YouTube videos throughout the day. The 5 hour battery life proved to be enough in most cases. Since most of the time the case is nearby or brought with you, it’s easy enough to pop them back into the case to charge back up between uses. Only once did they die on us after about 4 and a half hours of listening to music at about 50% volume with the noise cancellation turned on. We would have liked to see an hour or two more of battery life but this is about standard for most earbuds on the market today.
IPX4 Water & Sweat Resistant
The Gemini II’s will be just fine to use while working out. They will be sweat resistant and resistant to any light water splashes. However, you can’t submerge these in water. This rating is pretty standard for any earbud competitors on the market.
Touch Sensitive Controls & App
The Gemini II’s have touch sensitive buttons on each earbud that are capable of recognizing a short single tap, double tap, double tap and hold, and a single long press. And you’re able to customize these actions for the left and right earbud to your liking. We kept the single tap on both earbuds to play/pause our content, double tap on the left for the previous song, and double tap on the right to go to the next song. Then we made the double tap and hold on the left to decrease volume and double tap and hold on the right to increase volume. These settings worked really well for me and kept me hands free for most of the time.
The Gemini II’s come with their own sleek app with EQ controls and some standard presets. You can also change the tap actions and turn them from transparency mode to noise cancellation mode. In addition, it shows you the battery life of the earbuds. That’s about it. It’s very easy to use and gets the job done.
Sound
Arguably one of the most important aspects of any pair of headphones is how they sound. So how do the Devialet Gemini II’s sound? We put them to the test with multiple tracks and were rather impressed.
Starting with the lows, these earbuds offer a deep and controlled bass response. The bass is tight and well-defined, adding a pleasing foundation to the music without overwhelming other frequencies. It strikes a harmonious balance, allowing for enjoyable listening across various genres.
Moving to the midrange, the Gemini II earbuds showcase impressive clarity and detail. Vocals and instruments are rendered with precision, providing an intimate and lifelike soundstage. The midrange carries a warmth and depth that brings out the subtleties in acoustic music while still handling more complex arrangements with finesse.
In the high frequencies, these earbuds maintain a crisp and articulate presentation. The treble is well-extended, offering shimmering highs without any harshness. This allows for an engaging listening experience, particularly for genres with intricate cymbal work and delicate harmonics. Overall, the Devialet Gemini II earbuds deliver a sophisticated and well-balanced sound signature for such compact earbuds.
Improvements
So far, the Gemini II’s have nailed just about everything you could ask for in a pair of high end earbuds. Most features are similar to competitors in the market except for the sound quality. We think that is where the Gemini II’s have a leg up if you mainly care about getting the best sound from a pair of compact earbuds.
However, there is one factor that we haven’t touched on yet, the price. The Gemini II’s command a whopping $449 for the black or white versions and $649 for the Opéra de Paris version. That is on the very high end of any consumer earbud on the market today.
When commanding a price that high, customers are going to expect the very best. For this price, we would have liked to see 6-7 hours of battery life and Bluetooth 5.3. We don’t think those would make or break a purchase, but they would have been really nice to have.
Overall Recommendation
If you're on the hunt for some of the best-sounding wireless earbuds, you should definitely consider the Devialet Gemini II's. These earbuds excel in delivering high-quality sound across the board.
However, it's important to note that they might not have all the bells and whistles you'd find in some other earbuds, and they do come with a higher price tag. But if you’re mainly focused on getting exceptional audio performance and are willing to invest in that experience, the Devialet Gemini II's are a solid choice.

Ergonomically Universal
In rethinking the design for the second-generation Devialet Gemini II, Devialet studied the design of the human ear in deeper detail. That gave life to this universal shape that ensures stability no matter how much you move. Four sizes of noise isolation ear tips ensure Devialet Gemini II nestles into the ear, fitting so well you might even forget they're there. And a charging case that is easy to slip into your pocket. Easy to carry. Easy to use. Sometimes it's okay to get attached quickly.

Inseparable By Design
Fits like a glove? No, fits like a Devialet Gemini II. The reimagined second-generation earbuds boast the same soft touch and iconic shape, but in a more compact, sleek, and versatile design.

The charging case now features a flip top for instant access. Separation anxiety? A thing of the past.

When traveling or on the go, enjoy up to 22 hours of battery life for no-compromise listening. Enjoy deep focus. Devialet Gemini's noise-canceling technology is now adaptive. Noise suppression is adjusted on the fly, continually removing background noise as it reaches your earbuds, leaving you more room to focus on what you are doing, whether it's listening, working, or talking.
Answer The Call
Devialet Gemini's convenient button placement and dedicated voice-call microphone lets you pick up or hang up calls with ease, no phone needed. Your earbuds will activate a level of noise cancellation when you answer a call, while the Active Wind Reduction (AWR) and bone-conduction voice sensor will improve voice pick-up and keep your conversations crystal clear, even in the windiest conditions. It's a breeze but in a good way. Additionally, Bluetooth 5.2 multipoint enables you to effortlessly switch between two devices without having to lift a finger.
Connectivity
Bluetooth 5.2 Enjoy wireless audio at its finest thanks to Qualcomm aptX codec, which supports Bluetooth 5.2 and offers multipoint connection and auto-switch.
