Niche/high volume set. Great scaling, warm, bassy, thick, comforting listen. A mini MEGA5EST Bass. Initmate and immersive experience. Not the most technical for the price, and vocals can be a bit too husky.

Clean and open signature with slight treble emphasis. Not airy, but more sharp. Great resolution and imaging. Relatively safe tuning.

Fresh Reviews 5.5* * The score of this reviewer influences only the Gaming Score
C+ Apex, B to B- COD, B Val

Ziigaat’s 2024 lineup lands three distinct flavors: the R (1DD+4BA), Arcadia (1DD+2BA), and Odyssey (1DD+3BA)—all sharing the same case, tips, and cable, but with very different tunings and striking faceplates. Pricing lives in the approachable range (roughly $200–$250), and the shells are well-built 3D-printed resin. The Odyssey’s nozzle appears slightly wider than the R’s, and its cloudy pink/silver faceplate looks clean and premium without the flashiness of Arcadia’s green/yellow sparkle.

For competitive play, title-by-title differences matter. In Valorant, Arcadia’s extra warmth and bass impact feel immersive but a touch boomy/bloomy under heavy ability spam—solid, around a B. The R and Odyssey perform on par with high marks; the R’s 1–3 kHz lift sharpens clarity and verticality, while Odyssey is more neutral and less bright. In Apex Legends, Arcadia struggles as bass bloom masks micro-cues (B–/C+). Odyssey delivers great separation/layering with slightly softer overhead cues (B+/B), and handles gunfire more comfortably than the R. In CS2, Odyssey takes the lead for its imaging, depth perception, and non-fatiguing balance; in Warzone, the order shifts to R > Arcadia > Odyssey, with Arcadia’s warmth helping vertical reads and impact.

As a music set, the Odyssey is a standout: potent, tight bass with clean transients, balanced mids that aren’t smothered, and a clean, non-sibilant treble that avoids fatigue while letting micro-detail through. It lands as a favorite in its price bracket—an easy recommendation for listeners who want a neutral-leaning all-rounder that still punches hard, splits cues well, and won’t scorch ears with gunfire or treble glare.

Just the right amount of warmth to have lush mids while retaining clarity. Treble is clear and sparkly but very smooth - not fatiguing at all for me - could be because the treble is handled by BC?. First time I've heard anything from this brand - I bought it on a whim because it looks so pretty, and I ended up pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoy the sound! So easy to listen to and enjoy.

BQEYZ Winter aims for a neutral-bright balance: clear mids, crisp yet smooth treble, and a tight low end that favors definition over slam. Its hybrid setup pairs a 12 mm dynamic driver with an 11.6 mm PZT bone-conduction unit that supplements upper-mids/treble for extra texture and air . Tonally it reads bright-neutral with mild warmth in the bass and a restrained sub-bass shelf, which suits listeners who prioritize clarity over heavy impact .

Technical performance is a strong point: imaging and instrument separation are precise, and the stage feels airy with tidy placement rather than cavernous width . Treble can edge bright on hot masters and tip choice/fit matters, but detail retrieval is competitive at the price. At an MSRP of $239, Winter is an easy mid-tier recommendation for those who value speed and articulation over bass heft .
