ZiiGaat x Hangout.Audio: Odyssey 2

Polished, Professional, and Provocative!

Pros: Premium metal shells Very good accessories Deep and punchy bass Smooth treble that still has bite Organic, rich tonality Cons: Might be too much mid-bass for some genres [subjective] Might be too safe in the treble air [subjective] Cable is rather thin and the color match isn't perfect The Odyssey 2 is a stellar example of how to maximize sonic pleasure with a few quality drivers. I was surprised by this set, as it was much more pleasing than I had anticipated. While the newer offering from the company, Arete 2, is more my tuning preference, the Odyssey 2 should not be underestimated. It’s polished, professional, and provocative, and made with premium materials. It’s a safe purchase for most listening preferences because it’s both impressive and tuned with care. I highly recommend it! 94/100.

For any phonograms

These IEMs have a perfectly tuned frequency response according to the Harman 2019 target. This means their sound will appeal to the vast majority of people. The housing fits comfortably in the ears. The housing is lightweight and metal, which makes the first few seconds feel cool. It's a bit thick and protrudes from the auricle. The IEMs have good passive sound isolation. They are suitable as monitors for stage performers, such as singers and instrumentalists. The cord is comfortable, not thick, and has a universal 3.5/4.4 mm connector. The only drawback is that I couldn't find the ear tips included in the basic package that fit my ear properly, likely due to the slightly short nozzle. However, I found ear tips from another manufacturer. Overall, I liked the IEMs. Top marks.

ZiiGaat Odyssey 2 - Interesting vocals and beanutiful highs,!

The highs are clear and fairly detailed. Cymbal trails are long and slightly tinted with a golden sheen. The shaker is clear. Vocal overtones and harmonics are beautifully rendered. Vocals are positioned behind the proscenium. The stage is medium-sized, but quite high vertically. Everything within the stage is large, tightly packed, but not compressed. Vocals are free and delivered engagingly. The tactility of the stage is conveyed very well. The midrange is slightly softened, pleasant, and musical. The low frequencies are boomy, with a slight bass overload. This bass is ideal for electronic music, but for precise, tonally accurate rock recordings, it will feel slow and boomy. The overall presentation of the headphones is quite pleasant, musical, and engaging. This setup will appeal to the vast majority of music lovers, especially for the distinct emphasis on the low frequencies. Overall, the Odyssey 2 differs from the first version in terms of soundstage and high frequencies. If you're looking for a more musical presentation, the second edition of these headphones is definitely worth considering.
