The bottom part does a great job of holding the cable and IEMs in place. However, the top compartment doesn't have a lot of room. I keep my TRN Black Pearl in the top compartment and have to press down pretty firmly to get it to zip closed, so anything other than a basic dongle dac will probably do the same.
I've been using my black pearl for a few weeks now and it's great. Plenty of power, it feels premium, and works great especially for the price.
Just a terrible product if you want to use it with Nintendo Switch 2 or Steam Deck. I don't know what is the issue, maybe it's faulty. There is SO MUCH NOISE while using IEMs with switch or steam deck, built in DAC of switch is MILES better. On mobile phone it seems to be okey but nothing incredible. I've got it for half price and regret getting it.
Great buds for the price but I do wish they didn't have a static-ey sound when plugged in at certain angles (this happens on both my laptop and my phone) :(
They sound great, the magnets in the case are strong so they don't fall out.
I tried all the stock eartips and the dunu s&s eartips on my 2 iems, and all were uncomfortable for my ears, which are for some reason very sensitive. Most also ruined the sound, but these just magically fix everything. I couldn't be happier unless the price came down, but I'm happy to pay for something that completely fixes IEMs for me
I'm not much of a writer, so I'll keep it brief. These in-ear headphones sound much more expensive than they are. Yes, the Sony IER-Z1R has better bass and sound density thanks to its dynamic driver, but they're also much more expensive. Yes, the Pure Dope have a wider soundstage, but they're planar. These are excellent 10-driver armatures with a great fit and passive sound isolation. The kit is excellent, but I'm used to immediately installing my favorite tips, which provide even better sound isolation, so I didn't try them. And the delivery was very fast. Thanks to Kiwi and Linsoul for a great addition to my two favorite in-ear models. So now I have three models.I'm not much of a writer, so I'll keep it brief.

The ZiiGaat x Hangout.Audio Odyssey 2 exceed expectations: versatile, musical, and carefully crafted IEMs, with aluminum housings, a handcrafted faceplate, and a replaceable modular cable. The package is comprehensive, from silicone and foam tips to replaceable filters and 3.5 mm SE and 4.4 mm balanced jacks.
The sound is immersive and well-balanced. The bass is deep and controlled, never intrusive, the mids natural and realistic, with believable vocals and acoustic instruments, and the highs clear, airy, and never aggressive. The soundstage is surprisingly wide and uncluttered, with good separation and ambient detail.
The Odyssey 2 shine with smartphones, but a quality DAC or preamp unlocks their full power: more defined bass, more stable mids, and cleaner highs. Tested with rock, jazz, classical music, and even more delicate listening, they prove to be reliable and versatile.
In short, these IEMs aren't studio monitors, but they offer a premium listening experience: dynamic, musical, and precise. Perfect for those who want a high-end product without compromise, capable of thrilling both on the go and at home. A purchase that surprises and wins you over from the first listen.
Great accessories, cable is a bit shorter than I’d like but I plan on getting a desktop audio interface so its fine, its pretty comfortable to wear, any problems with how the iem sounds you can change w an eq which is what I did, its great value for the $80-ish, I got it for $49 with a linsoul coupon so in my opinion I got a great deal.
It's rare I try a new headset or IEM and immdiately wins me over. I currently have a Letshoer S12 Pro and Hifiman XS, both of which floored me with their sub bass.
I needed something with higher clarity and better isolation to wear on the motorbike. The Orchestra's have extreme isolation and jaw dropping clarity.
Bass isn't punchy but it is very detailed like the rest of the sound spectrum. They are very bulky but there is a notch on the conch shell to hold it in position in your ear. Wearing a motorbike helmet is still possible so they aren't too big.
I’ve been deep in the KZ/CCA rabbit hole since 2020 and own a dozen at this point. For someone who likes good sound without spending crazy money, the KZ/CCA lineup has always been an easy experiment—especially when prices drop. Until now, my top pick was the CCA Rhapsody, but the new CCA Hydro has officially taken the number-one spot, and for good reason.
The biggest jump is in soundstage and separation. These are the best I’ve heard from KZ/CCA and noticeably ahead of their lower-tier models. With all tuning switches off, cymbals and hi-hats are clean and articulate, bass is present without overpowering, and vocals sit forward in a very natural way. I’m listening through a Douk P1 tube amp, which adds warmth to the mids, and Qobuz in exclusive mode at 24/192—which definitely matters, because without exclusive mode the DAC won’t actually get the high-rate stream.
Compared to other hybrids I own—the Simgot EW300, KZ ZSN Pro X, and the Rhapsody—the Hydro delivers the most complete frequency coverage and the most convincing imaging. The EW300 might still edge it out for pure critical listening due to its treble accuracy, but the Hydro is more engaging and fuller overall. Shells are large, but I’ve had no comfort issues, and the included foam tips isolate well.
If I have one criticism, it’s about KZ/CCA’s release strategy. They push out new models so fast that it often feels like customers are the test bed. But the Hydro feels different—they’ve been out for nearly a year and continue to get solid reviews, which makes me think more time and care went into this one. For my collection, they’re now the best CCA I own.
The detail on the bass blew my mind. Feels like I'm listening to music for the first time.
Linsoul did great job, just didnt like the stock cable as it was bit tuff to connect initially on right iem
These were the first IEMs I ever bought. I was a little skeptical that something so cheap could even be decent, but after listening to them for the first time, all my skepticism vanished. They may not be worthy of a full 5 stars in terms of sound quality, but considering the price, they definitely are!
I personally like that the bass is emphasized just right. In my opinion, it's not too much. The high frequencies also suit my ears nicely—I'm a bit sensitive to them.
