This is like cheating!
I use to have the astro40s and upgraded to these. Mind you , these were my first pair of iems ever. Let me tell you, I can hear EVERYTHING! I play a lot of warzone and so it's important to me to be able to hear footsteps and these deliver! Iems are comfortable in your ear, they're high quality, the color is just stunning, and sound is crisp and clear. Definetly worth the money!

Look No Further
Coming from a gamer who is not an audiophile and has tried Iems like the TruthEar Crincle Zeros (blue) and Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lites, I can confidently say that the Aretes not only feel like an upgrade but also the best of both worlds. They had more bass than i was expecting but not to the point where it’d ever get muddy. They also sound very detailed making it great for gaming. I can easily tell when someone is above or below me in game. They are also fun for music. The only problem I encountered with these is that when connected to the Fiio k11 on a 6.35mm adapter I got a hissing sound and noise floor that wasn’t pleasant. Solutions can either be a 4.4mm balanced cable or simply using a type C dongle connected to your pc if you encounter a problem like this . All in all, If you’re looking for an IEM that’s great for gaming and fun for music under $300 look no further.

Best Gaming Ear Buds
I couldn’t recommend these headphones enough. Weather it’s for music, the studio, or gaming, these headphones have phenomenal sound quality and are very comfortable. They also come with other size plushes for the ears.

Amazingly clear sound
*UPDATE* Left earbud very low volume, I'm guessing its something loose inside. If I tap it a few times, the volume will go back to normal. I have to do these every time I use these now. Linsoul warranty is HORRIBLE. First they want a video with music playing to show the earbud is functioning correctly. If you send that, then they ask you to remove the filter on the earbud and send ANOTHER video. Then they want a picture showing you removed the filter to prove nothing is clogging the earbud opening. There are better options for your money. Coming from Sennheiser HD660s and intro IEMs, I wanted to try something a little higher end than the Truth Zeros. These definitely fit that category, everything in game sounds significantly more detailed and crisp. I actually had to turn down my overall volume about 5-6 decibels from where I had both the HD 660s and Truth Zeros. Highly recommend!

Beautiful design and sound!
My favorite ZiiGaat IEM I’ve tried! Love the vocal forward sound signature with great bass. Absolutely love this iem only issue is the right ear stopped working within a week.

Awesome sound quality for the price
As someone with very small ears, I did some research into bezel size and found that these would likely be small enough. There are still some pressure points to get used to as these are my first pair of IEMs but after a few weeks my ears no longer ache after about two hours of wearing them. I’m not an audiophile but these certainly have way better sound quality than the Sony over ear headphones I was using prior. Just do it!

Great for Gaming
I love these. The directional audio and clarity in things like footsteps for FPS’s is really good. You likely will need to buy an extension for this if you plan on using for PC depending on where your rig is, I bought a 4 ft extension. Worth every dollar.

money well spent.
Initially, I was unsure about these, but after spending hours researching them and reading countless testimonies, I made the decision to pull the trigger. They arrived in an exquisitely crafted box. The units come with a five-star case to store them in when not in use. Once I figured out how to plug them in with the wire supplied, I tested them out. Both the overall build and the sound quality astounded me. The provided "tips," also known as cushions, were good. However, because my left and right ear holes are not precisely the same and rub slightly due to the material, I will be replacing them with a better, higher-quality pair. Additionally, I ordered them a different cord because the one that was provided is not the best. I only knew this ahead of time because of a review I found on them on YouTube by a guy named @GadgetryTech. I am really happy that I made this purchase. I will upload a video later today.

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 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.
