Its treble is handled by a treble BA and then capped off by 2 piezoceramic tweeters to handle the ultra highs. This design keeps the dynamic timbre intact while giving more space and better cohesion for the main dynamic to do its thing. The 8mm graphene dynamic now is doing both the bass and mids. How did they improve on the design? For one they took out one of the dynamics in the housing that was taking up much valuable space from the GK10 design. Sure they are reusing some parts to make the GK80 but you're not going to care once you hear how they improved on the GK80. To me if you're going to bring out something new. Passive isolation being slightly below average. The shell size itself is smaller medium in size and most will have good comfort using them. Looks aside, what mattered really was the sound. Arguably the best looking out of the heart shaped colors of the prior GK10. Actually looked about as masculine as it will get for using a heart shaped housing. However now using an all back carbon fiber plate. Well that hope was shattered when I opened the package and it was using the same housing.
I mean heart shaped earphones are unique and all.
When I got news Geek was going to send me a pre production unit I had my fingers crossed that the GK80 would have a brand new housing. It does retrain a mild v shaped sound signature but this time around I am certain they took some of the criticism to heart. But that was the potential in the GK10 that got dumped on due to the various issues of that unit. Quite head scratching as I have yet to hear anything that comes close to how they sound for the bucks. So how do they sound? They sound very good. This is the part you have been waiting for. As they say, let the music play and leave it playing

I do recommend a solid burn in cycle for them as they utilize way too many drivers for the sound to be 100% correct out of the box more importantly it is using a graphene dynamic for the very important bass to mids sound projection for the GK80 which needs burn in.

Try out your 2 pin cables you have on hand, just about anything will be an upgrade cable wise on the new GK80. With the included cable, you will certainly hear how the GK80 sounds but is nowhere close to optimizing all them drivers in the GK80. You can’t expect a nice cable from this package. Goes without saying, there are limitations in what one gets for their sub $50. To be honest the GK10 and the GK80 both needed a much better cable anyhow. DX300Max, M15, Shanling M6 pro, Acmee MF02S, IFI Black label. GK80 has been burned in for over a week and been listened to using a variety of my sources. You will be able to purchase a GK80 on Penon web site here. I would like to thank Geek Wold and Penon audio for the pre-production unit I received for review purposes. The GK80 captures a lot of design cues from the GF8S and we have a successor to the GK10 that is every bit what it should have been and more. If you ever heard their GF8S TWS earphones, it is undeniable the sound quality that comes from that unit. So it seems the Geek team has gone back to what they have designed previously that worked for them. The tribrid formula for a sub $50 category of earphones are not really common.

This is a very similar driver set up for one of their best sounding TWS models the Geekfly GF8S you can read my take on these here.Īs much as the steam built up with the prior GK10, it has fallen by the wayside but you know they were close to capturing something different in the budget sector that others have not really tried. New driver make up being an 8mm graphene dynamic+ treble BA+dual piezo ceramic drivers. Minus the familiar all plastic heart shaped shell. I know the Geek team has had numerous prior models they have been working on but settled on what is now the GK80. Fast forward to today and the Geek team is at it again with a new offering that should remedy a lot of pitfalls of their prior GK10 earphones.Ī bit of a secret. What made the GK10 fall into the controversial category is that the QC was a bit suspect as impressions started to fly in how some units would sound great for some and not so much for others. Geek folks seem to read the thoughts and remarks from reviews and our thread dedicated for the prior controversial hit the GK10. Makers of budget tribrids and much higher end TWS earphones which they go by Geekfly. So there seems to be some controversy about the budget IEM manufacturer Geek Wold.
