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!

FPS game changer
Use these for fps game need good audio, can’t be uncomfortable in the beginning until it’s broken in to your ears, after first week or two I was used to it. Don’t expect amazing bass but can hear amazing on pubg when using a eq of choice. Durable so far no issue since purchase, I would suggest getting extension because length can be pain in the a$$ depending on where your ports are on pc

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!

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.

Great IEM, poor accessories.
The IEM itself is AMAZING. Got it for Gaming bc of the sound signature, it picks up important sound cues like foot steps and enemy movements very well and the audio imaging is very precise so you know where to look. My ONLY CON is the quality of the Cables and the ear tips; the ear tips are tacky and not so stable, and the cable itself is very skinny and cheap material with stiff feeling. I recommend getting upgrade cables and aftermarket ear tips for this IEM.

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.

Best pair of IMS I ever own
Hey friends, I hope this helps you. I recently bought these headphones, and I'm truly impressed with their quality and sound. In my opinion, for the price, they're quite a bargain. The music sounds fantastic! Initially, I purchased them for gaming, but I must admit, they are excellent for music too. I've been connecting them directly to my computer, but I also ordered a DAC amplifier, and I can't imagine how amazing they will sound with it. If you're considering buying these headphones, don't hesitate! Take care.

They stopped working
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.

Top IEMs
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.

Top notch detail retrieval... but
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.

Yes they are great, at significant cost and questions around fit
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
