I'm going to say yes. Received mine earlier this week and still settling in with them. I find Gemini II has a much more open, airy sound with better separation, whereas Gemini I came across as more veiled. I did use the increased treble setting in the EQ though. Fit and finish feels much better and solid and it is smaller and more comfortable to wear.
For me, the increased cost isn't about if it's better, but what to do with them once they reach their end of life. Seems expensive for something that could be considered "disposable" once the battery degrades, although that applies to all TWS. Even though Devialet offers replacement parts, my understanding is it's not cost effective compared to getting a new set.
The Gemini II are one step closer, if not already almost there in terms of being comparable to wired IEMs though.
