ZiiGaat x Fresh Reviews Arete 1DD+4BA Hybrid IEM in Ear Monitor

Pictured with the GUCraftsman cable which will cost you an additional £50 and Sennheiser tips which are £15. So circa £295. The Mangird Tea Pro is on sale as of this writing for £285 - so maybe one to consider. Yes they great For directional audio mostly For music - you probably won’t wear these to the gym as they poke out of your ears and make you look like a Martian Fit of all chi-fi IEMs is a question for me (I have 4x). Sennheiser just fits - with chifi it’s always a gamble. I tried maybe a dozen tips on these You also support Fresh with this purchase which is a factor for me - I love his YouTube channel If you’re heavy into competitive gaming then it’s probably one for you

Wonderful sound from these in-ears. I'm absolutely gutted that theyre hurting my left ear (external) after only a few minutes of use. I'm going to give it a week or two and see if my ear gets used to it; hopefully i dont have to refund as i'm really only enjoying their sound. edit: So, the comfort is actually amazing, what was happening was the cable was pulling the shell around and making it sit funny on my antihelix. Now i twist them forwards theyre fantastic, no issues.

I am not a sound pro so i cant really tell you about the highs, mids and the lows. I can tell you it was a noticeable improvement on my Moondrops and Simgots Super mix 's (and i love them) i can hear a bit more of what's going on and a bit more clarity in the games and movies i watch. I mostly use them for games and general PC use and have been using them as my fairly drivers for a couple of months now They are very comfortable and don't slowly fall out of the ears, an issue I've had with some IEMS (Super mix) I've had no issues with the cable, but i have heard/read they are a bit cheap I use these for alot of competitive games and can vouche that they are good enough to play in the big leagues If you are more interested in a Audiofile / gaming review i highly recommend checking out Fresh review on these, he had a bit of input on these things profile (hence his name in the title) and his review is as neutral as it can be. I got these for around £170 with a discount and id really take a punt on these. you wont be disappointed and they are pretty

Left Ear piece stopped working after 5 months. For something that costs this amount of money, I would expect it to last a lot longer than it did. My advice is to pass on these and buy something else as they dont last long.

Better than all my gaming headsets by a long way

I liked these alot but god damn are they fatiguing and uncomfortable impactfull bass and lively treble, they're alot of fun and really good for gaming with directionality etc. I would choose the moondrop rays over these

Top IEMs. Selber für Shooter wie Call of Duty, Battlefield, Rainbow Six genutzt. Sound war extrem gut und präzise, auch für Musik. Daher absolute Empfehlung.

Incredible sound. Worth every penny.

No es lo que esperaba de ellos

I have used a variety of IEMs thus far including the Zero:RED, Supermix 4, 61T, Hype 4, Tea PRO, S12 2024, etc. The Arete is truly a beast when it comes to getting that pinpoint accuracy in game. (tested in Overwatch) Gunfire and crit sounds were tame and not too recessed, just right for my ears. It also performs a bit above its asking price across several genres (Jazz, Acapella, Pop). The bass I would say is barely enough for most. If you want OOMPH in the low end. Look into the Hype 4 or Tea PRO or even the new HBB Punch. Would I say its Tea PRO good? Not quite. If the Tea PRO is a 10/10, then the Arete would be like a 9. Close, but not quite there. I think it is a little better in shooters than the Hype 4 but the Hype 4 and Tea PRO beat this set regarding tonality in music. I will say this set performs marginally better than the Hype 4 and S12 2024 in shooters. For the $250 asking price, I think it is well worth it. However, the reason I am giving it 4 stars is because I am worried about the longevity of this set regarding its build quality. We all know ZiiGaat has areas to improve regarding the stock accessories, but the set I received, one of the BAs on the left side (that handles the mid-range) is already defective out of the box. The audio clips across most volume levels. and when tapping the faceplate, the metallic rattle really becomes noticeable. My source is the Topping E1X2 OTG which has a 1ohm output impedance. Also tried on a regular laptop and had the same issue. Even tried 3 cables at 3.5 and 4.4 terminations along with 2 different 6.3 adapters, no luck. Funny enough, the Tea PRO was also giving me imbalance/distortion issues and that set also uses Knowles BAs but they aren't the exact same knowles. I don't know if I am just really unlucky, or if this new batch of Knowles didn't get proper QA. Take this review with a grain of salt as only the right side was 100% fully functional.

Just one very important , u can hear sibling on watching any social media , but when i listen music, don't hear it at all , that is strange.. i tuned it balance, now on my experience it is better then xens top pro.... i enjoy it more then top pro. And i sold top pro just yesterday... just didn't expect it from half cost of iem..😊
