Youtube Video Summary
ZiiGaat Lush is a $179 1DD+4BA hybrid tuned in a studio or reference mold: slight bass lift, essentially unboosted treble, and very linear mids. The result is a flat, full, uncolored presentation that lets the balanced armatures show texture and resolve without the usual treble emphasis. Compared with typical $200 hybrids, it feels unique because nothing is exaggerated at either end; it aims to let the listener hear everything clean rather than add excitement.
Bass carries correct weight despite the small shelf, while a mild lower-mid dip can make low-volume listening feel lighter; raising volume restores body and balance. Male vocals in particular benefit, sounding natural and well weighted, and the treble stays relaxed and artifact-free for long sessions. Stage is not oversized but comes across clean, layered, and naturally sized with good separation.
As a musical all-rounder it is less compelling: those expecting bass slam or brilliant sparkle will find it restrained, and groove can feel muted versus mild V-shapes. It pairs best with low or near-zero output impedance sources to preserve the flat line, as small changes are audible on such a linear set. For listeners who want a neutral, mid-centric hybrid that behaves like a studio monitor, Lush delivers a clear, revealing take at this price.

Youtube Video Summary
Odyssey 2 brings a metal-bottom shell and a green/black modular cable, but the headline is the retune. The aim—relax the Odyssey’s hot mid/upper treble—works, yet energy shifts toward roughly 2.5 kHz and the mid-bass dip becomes shallower. On the ear this reads as sharper edges with a leaner body, and at moderate to higher volume the upper mids rise faster than the top end supports.
The result is a mild treble imbalance: vocals turn a touch thin, upper-air feels reduced, and the set encourages lowering the volume rather than opening up. While clarity remains “hybrid-like,” extension has less sparkle, and the presentation can feel compressed compared to the original tuning.
Technicalities also take a small step back—less separation and layering, a stage that projects smaller, and imaging that’s tidy but not standout. With a bit of PEQ to add body and a hint more upper-treble air, Odyssey 2 comes closer to expectations, but out of the box the original Odyssey still reads as the more naturally balanced pick.

Youtube Video Summary
Ziigaat x Hangout Audio Odyssey 2 comes as a 1DD + 3BA hybrid in a fully metal shell with a matching metal nozzle, venting, and a comfortable, familiar Ziigaat fit. The package is generous: a handsome new case (seen on Luna/Crescent), 4.4 balanced with a swappable 3.5 adapter, multiple tips, and spare filters. The flat 2-pin cable looks good in black/green but is a bit memory-prone/tangle-happy; functional, yet a likely swap for cable sticklers.
Sonically, Odyssey 2 skews punchy in the bass with clean, thick mids and well-controlled upper-mids; the treble is smooth and gently rolled with limited airy “sparkle,” giving a more studio-like presentation. Versus the original Odyssey, this tuning is less U-shaped, with dialed-back excitement and upper treble—safer, calmer, and easier long-term. It’s a well-built, well-accessorized set at a reasonable price that many will find effortless to enjoy, even if thrill-seekers may want more bite up top.
In context, it parallels Lush on upper-mids (no urgent need to switch unless craving a touch more sub-bass or a different treble flavor), feels safer than Performer 7 (which has spicier 8k), and sits under the more vivid Odyssey (OG) and the slightly brighter, airier Crescent. It doesn’t reach the extra sub-bass/air of the Dusk DSP but improves on the original Dusk’s flatter treble character; meanwhile, Ziigaat’s Horizon trends richer and crisper up top. Overall verdict: a solid 8.0/10—mids are the star, bass is engaging if not rowdy, and upper-treble restraint keeps fatigue low. Not the most electric choice at ~$225, but a clean, safe, studio-leaning option with broad appeal.

Youtube Video Summary
Ziigaat Lush lands as a cleaner, more airy and slightly more technical take on the Explore. The overall tuning is balanced, smooth, and full with a hint of air; vocals sit a touch laid-back in the mix with thicker male timbre, making it an easy, fatigue-free listen. At mid–low volumes it’s a relaxing, non-intrusive “background” set; turn it up and the Lush scales, opening the stage, popping vocals forward, adding extension and low-end impact. Cymbals read clear and lightly airy without sting, though snares can get a bit sharp on certain tracks and ultra-energetic genres won’t be its strong suit.
Technical gains over the Explore are real but modest—this isn’t a technical/value monster at the price. Bass quality is adequate rather than tactile: tighter and less warm than Explore with lower quantity, engaging when loud but bass-light at moderate levels, so not the first pick for sub-bass-centric hip-hop/EDM. Where it shines is at higher volumes with rock, metal, and R&B: natural timbre, good separation, and a smooth, immersive cruise rather than a high-contrast thrill ride.
Against peers, Lush sounds cleaner, more open and better balanced than Letshuoer S08; sets like Supermix 4, Nova, A30, Chopin are more resolving and lively at mid-volumes, while P50 and Cadenza 4 push vocals more forward. Treble-tilted options (Meta, ET142) are sparklier but less natural in timbre. Timeless 2 and Tanchjim Origin share the smooth/neutral vibe yet don’t scale like Lush. Versus its siblings, Odyssey is the more dynamic, V-leaning extrovert; Arcanis is a clear step up in resolution and vocal prowess. At ~$180 the cable/packaging underwhelm and it’s not a slam-dunk value, but as a smooth, immersive, volume-scaling upgrade for Explore/S08 fans, Lush hits its niche; if a chill mid-volume set is all that’s needed, cheaper options like EW300 DSP—or even Explore—make more sense.

Youtube Video Summary
Odyssey 2 shifts the OG’s recipe toward a more mid-centric, vocal-first tuning with a gentle sub-bass lift and smoother treble. Bass hits with less slam than the original but feels tighter, quicker, and cleaner, keeping texture competitive for the price. The top end is calmer—less bite, still adequately extended—trading sparkle for an easy, natural presentation.
Clarity steps up in the mids: vocals pop, separation improves, and detail comes through more plainly, while the OG keeps an edge in bass/treble “texture.” It’s a higher-volume scaler; give it juice and it opens up, especially for ballads, acoustic, indie, and pop—less ideal for hip-hop/R&B/jazz where extra weight and contrast help. Tip rolling that adds a touch of low-end/treble energy can inject the missing excitement without upsetting the balance.
Against similarly “safe” sets (Daybreak, P50), Odyssey 2 leans more vocal-centric with better bass texture; versus value champs (Supermix 4, Nova, Chopin), it sounds fuller and more natural but isn’t the value king. Lush gives more air up top, Arcanis/Luna serve as pricier “special sauce” paths if treble bite or OG-style warmth is desired. Verdict: a safer pick and polished all-rounder—objectively as good or slightly cleaner than OG—but for die-hard OG fans, more of a refined sidegrade than a direct, high-octane upgrade.

Youtube Video Summary
The Ziigaat Arcanis and Lush IEMs offer distinct flavors at their price points, both featuring resin builds with eye-catching faceplates—sparkly green for the Arcanis and silver-black for the Lush. Fit is familiar to other Ziigaat models, and accessories include a basic cable, ear tips, and carrying pouch. Sonically, the Arcanis delivers a holographic, punchy presentation with emphasized sub-bass and upper mids, making footsteps, slides, and distant gunfire pop with urgency. The Lush leans darker and smoother, relaxing upper mids to tame gunfire harshness while maintaining clean bass and excellent separation.
For gaming, performance varies by title. In Valorant and CS2, the Lush shines with precise imaging and a smoother, fatigue-free experience—gunfire feels controlled without sacrificing detail. The Arcanis excels in COD, where its aggressive tuning highlights critical cues like footsteps and slides with greater potency. However, in Apex Legends, the Lush’s relaxed profile struggles with subtle audio cues (e.g., light taps or shield cells), earning a B rating. The Arcanis fares better (B+) with superior depth reads and emphasis on environmental sounds, though complex fights can overwhelm its separation compared to top-tier sets like the Mangird Tea Pro.
Ultimately, the Arcanis is a versatile all-rounder, slightly favored for both music and most gaming scenarios. The Lush carves a niche for smooth, non-fatiguing sessions in Valorant/CS2, filling a unique spot in Ziigaat’s lineup. Both IEMs offer exceptional resolution and layering for their prices, but the choice hinges on preference: the Arcanis for its energetic clarity, or the Lush for its refined, relaxed signature.

Youtube Video Summary
Ziigaat Odyssey 2 lands as a premium-feeling set: a CNC-milled aluminum chassis with a sparkly blue/silver faceplate, solid two-pin cable with interchangeable 3.5/4.4 plugs, spare nozzle filters, and a roomy new brown carrying case. The stock cable is nice—though its green tint doesn’t quite match the shell’s aqua tone. Tip selection is generous (foam plus two silicone sets), and the newer silicone tips are a standout. Overall, a tidy package for the price.
Tuning follows the current “new meta”: energetic low end with a cleaner sub-bass attack/decay than sets like ZENs Top/Top Pro, which helps in games. Bass stays punchy yet controlled, so imaging and separation/layering come through well, though gunfire can still push forward. For pure music the bigger, rumblier sets may feel livelier, but for competitive play Odyssey 2 reads space more cleanly and keeps clutter down better than bass-heavier rivals.
Title by title: in Valorant it sounds natural and punchy with tighter gun reports and better map imaging—footsteps are a bit thicker and light taps could cut more—earning a B+. In Apex it’s cleaner than ZENs Top Pro and fine in 3v3s, but big third-party fights expose some separation limits; call it a strong B (bordering B+). In CS2 the positional read improves over ZENs Top Pro, though lighter surface cues and gunfire depth could be crisper—solid overall. Call of Duty plays to its strengths: warmer timbre, wide/deep stage, excellent layering during streaks, with only occasional gunfire masking—another B+. Net result: placed in the B+ tier on the WallHack list, at the lower edge bordering B, similar to the original Odyssey’s standing.

Youtube Video Summary
Ziigaat Lush lands at $180 with a hybrid 1DD + 4BA setup and the brand’s familiar accessories: a slim case, silicone tips (S/M/L), and one foam pair. The cable is lightweight but tangly, and the all-plastic shells feel light yet a bit cheap. Fit is stable yet not ideal— the long nozzle can bottom out, tip selection becomes important, and there’s some driver flex. Aesthetics are decent, though the logo and overall build leave room for improvement.
Sonically, this is a “new meta” take: fuller lower mids, relaxed upper mids, and laid-back treble that can read a touch dark. The tonality is warm, smooth, and low-contrast; vocals sit a bit back and busy mixes can feel smoothed over. Treble avoids sharpness but can be inconsistent (sometimes blurred, sometimes a little chunky), and overall incisiveness depends heavily on tip choice. Bass isn’t overblown on the graph, yet comes across stronger in practice because the top end is subdued—impact is fine, definition is average. Imaging isn’t razor-sharp, though the stage can feel surprisingly wide.
Against peers, EPZ P50 sounds more contrasty with tighter bass, crisper treble, better imaging, and much better comfort. Kiwi Ears K4 brings more sparkle and sharper imaging (bass can dominate at times), again with superior fit. A cheaper alt, the AFUL Explorer, offers a similarly laid-back vibe with tighter bass, more consistent/airy treble, and an easier fit. Net: Lush is a pleasant, relaxed alternative for the treble-sensitive, but build and comfort hold it back. Rating: 3/5.

Youtube Video Summary
The Ziigaat Odyssey 2 arrives as a collab between Ziigaat and Hangout Audio (tied to Crinacle), essentially a Crin-influenced set in disguise; it’s a 1DD + 3BA hybrid priced around $250. Accessories are thoughtful—three ear-tip sets, spare adhesive filters, and swappable 3.5/4.4 terminations—though the long, friction-fit plug feels awkward. The metal shell is medium-sized with a short nozzle for a shallow fit; comfort is easy, stability average, and the thin green cable is softer than prior Ziigaat attempts with a chin slider that actually holds.
Tonally it lands squarely in the tilted diffuse-field “meta” neutral camp: natural vocals, tame upper-treble, and a slight 4–6 kHz lift that adds clarity and a more contrasty/clinical edge without harshness. Imaging and separation are clean for the price, but the sub-bass-focused boost leaves the low end marshmallowy—tactile yet soft, with kick drums short on slam. Overall balance is convincing and easy to live with, just not especially exciting.
Versus Ziigaat Lush, Odyssey 2 is crisper and more defined where Lush sounds darker, smoother, and a bit low-res, though Lush hits mid-bass a touch harder. Against Softears Volume S (costlier), Volume S wins on bass grip and midrange texture, sounding fuller and more engaging while Odyssey 2 stays cleaner but more clinical. Conclusion: a very good set in a crowded mold—3/5 for a refined meta tune with agreeable timbre but modest bass impact.

Youtube Video Summary
ZiiGaat × Hangout Audio Odyssey 2 brings a 1DD + 3BA configuration to the ~$220 bracket with a generous kit: big leather case, three tip sets, nozzle filters, and interchangeable plugs. The green/black glitter faceplate looks slick and the metal shell feels solid—though a touch less premium than some rivals—and the fit skews large, which may fatigue smaller ears. The new black-and-green cable feels nicer than older ZiiGaat parts, has some memory, but is fully usable.
Voicing is non-offensive and slightly warm-leaning, with sub-bass emphasis and more neutral mid-bass that trades punch for a thumpy, rumbly foundation. Mids are natural with fuller male vocals; female vocals read clean yet not especially gripping. Treble stays relaxed and smooth with enough air, though a faint edginess can pop up on orchestral recordings. Technicals sit around class-average, but the notably wide soundstage (≈4/5) and accurate imaging make it friendly for casual gaming.
Against peers, the original Odyssey runs a touch more mid-bass and treble, coming across less dull; it remains the safer pick for some. DUNU DaVinci at similar money hits harder, feels more exciting, and carries a nicer midrange; AFUL Performer 7 offers a mild-V that’s more balanced overall with a more natural bass but a brighter top end. Recommendation: choose Odyssey 2 if a warm, easy, sub-bass-tilted listen is the goal; skip it if chasing fun and energy. Like unflavored sparkling water, it’s refreshing yet low on flavor—ultimately a two-star value pick: solid and safe, but not especially distinctive.

The Ziigaat Odyssey 2 is a hybrid 1DD+3BA IEM using a 10 mm bio-cellulose dynamic driver for lows and three Knowles armatures for mids/treble, housed in lightweight aluminum shells with a detachable 0.78 mm 2-pin cable; MSRP is $249. These configuration details and accessories are documented on the official retailer listings and brand pages.
Tonally, Odyssey 2 aims for a neutral-with-sub-bass-boost presentation (a diffuse-field tilt with a ~100 Hz shelf), yielding controlled rumble, clean mids, and smooth but not overly bright treble. This characterization aligns with independent impressions and the maker’s own “reference-grade tonal balance” language.
Technical performance is competitive for the price: detail retrieval and imaging are above average, while stage size is moderate and dynamics are decent rather than explosive. Community reviews and creator tests broadly echo this—praising clarity and control, with some placing it around mid-to-upper tiers for value in both music and gaming contexts.

Refined and cohesive hybrid that trades showy treble for balance and control; strong value around its price but not a class-leading detail monster.
Pros
Engaging neutral-with-sub-bass tuning with tight, textured lows and clear mids. Solid build and generous accessories including 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm plugs, tips, and filters.Cons
Soundstage size is only average for the price, and upper mids can come across slightly forward on brighter tracks.Find your next IEM:
