LinsoulZiiGaat x Fresh Reviews Arete in Ear Monitor, 1DD+4BA Hybrid Earphone IEM, Wired Gaming Earbuds, Studio Monitor Tunning, with Detachable IEM Cable for Musician Audiophile(Black)

The value for your money on these is INSANE. The sound quality is incredible! I'm not an audiophile, but I'm able to tell that IEMs don't get much better than this in terms of quality, weight, and ear support. I didn't enjoy the original fit of the stock tips, but that's super minor.

High quality product.

Best iem in the market at the price point, Best on first person shooter could pinpoint every foot steps and shoots from far to also pinpoint from walls. super comfortable and don't hurt on the ear either.

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.

Just got them in today and I am blown away on how well they sound. I listen to mainly EDM ( excision, subtronics, griz etc.) and these are perfect at hitting all the ranges.

Wish I could give this piece of trash product 0 stars. Linsoul is a cheap terrible company. I bought a pair of Aretes because I heard a bunch of good reviews about them. I owned them for less than 6 months and the right ear piece stopped working. I was well within the year warranty so I reach out to replace. I am then told by linsoul I will need to pay for shipping to CHINA which was $40 one way, for them to review the product and determine if it needs replacement. After that if they determine it does not they send it back and charge another $40 for shipping, so $80 to MAYBE get a replacement. Oh and did I mention they said it will take at LEAST 2 months for all this? Pathetic company please please please spend your money elsewhere they are not worth it.

This is unfortunate that I have to write this review because I LOVE these iems. They sound phenomenal for music, especially if you like bass. For gaming they are cheating. The way I am able to identify the precise location of sounds in competitive games is like no other pair I’ve tried prior to these. They are overall a great sounding pair. However, I can’t give these more than 2 stars due to zigaats quality control issues ESPECIALLY with this specific pair. In less than a year both iems went to crap and the sound in both were muffled and unpleasant all of a sudden. It’s like the dynamic driver just broke and never stopped working all of a sudden. I tried different cables and different DACs and still nothing. My cousin purchased this pair as well and had the same issue after only a week. He then returned them a bought another pair that now have the SAME EXACT ISSUE in 2 months of use. Let me preface that we do not overpower these iems at all either. It’s silly to me that I’ve owned $20 iems from Moondrop that I’ve accidentally left in water overnight and still work perfectly to this day with almost 2 years of use, but these break on 3 occasions between me and my cousin after less than a combined year of use between all 3 pairs. It’s a shame really because like I said the sound is amazing when they actually work. I’ve seen plenty of people complaining about the same issue. Buyer beware.

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.
