ZiiGaat x Hangout.Audio: Odyssey 2

[b]DOTACIÓN[/b]

Los IEM vienen muy bien presentados, con muchos accesorios, aunque desordenados, dentro de la caja, además de los IEM y el cable (desmontable 2 pin y modular), incluye documentación, 2 juegos de eartips, un juego de filtros y el fantástico estuche de Ziigaat, que, aunque son algo grandes, me encanta su acabado, materiales, etc.

El cable, libre de oxígeno, bañado en plata está bien acabado, aunque por su gama de precio podría ser algo mejor, además es un cable que se enreda y cuesta desenredar más que en otros IEM de precio incluso inferior.

[b]IEM[/b]

Los IEM están fabricados en un alumno de gran calidad y con unos acabados realmente buenos, al tacto están tan bien terminados que parece una resina de lo suave que resulta, la parte posterior representa un patrón brillante que los hace bastante atractivos en función de la incidencia de la luz.
Internamente se trata de un diseño hibrido de un Driver dinámico de biocelulosa de 10mm, 2 BA Knowles 32873 y un 33518, con una impedancia nominal de 20 Ohmios y una sensibilidad de 105 dB, la respuesta de frecuencia se extiende desde los 20 Hz hasta los 25 kHz.

[b]ERGONOMÍA[/b]

Son extremadamente cómodos, nada molestos con largas escuchas, se adaptan muy bien al pabellón auditivo pese a su tamaño un poco más grande de la media, sin ser grandes y el único “pero” es lo comentado del cable, los enredos que se pueden producir.

[b]POTENCIA ASOCIADA[/b]

Por el posicionamiento del producto, superior a 200 euros, he prescindido de amplificarlo con dispositivos poco potentes, pero visto el rendimiento que han tenido en otros escenarios y las especificaciones, no son excesivamente demandantes o exigentes, pero me reservo un poco la duda por si acaso…

[b]CALIDAD DE SONIDO[/b]

Aquí es donde este IEM en mi opinión, saca toda esa personalidad que tiene y se convierte en una alternativa muy seria, porque pese a que no es barato, el rendimiento es comparable como modelos que duplican su precio.
Las frecuencias graves están marcadas, tienen un plus de energía, golpe y precisión realmente envidiable, no lo definiría como unos bajos secos, aunque son lo suficientemente rápidos como para tenerlos todo momento bajo control, desde luego no es un perfil bajista pero no renuncia a una presencia y contundencia musical.

En cuanto a los medios, aquí está el punto fuerte de estos IEM y una de las razones por las que me han enamorado (y no es la única): el equilibro, balance y presencia que tiene en estas frecuencias está rozando la perfección, posiblemente me esté viniendo un poco arriba, pero es con diferencia donde destacan: voces con una representación grande e instrumentos con cuerpo y sin “artificios”, en el rango comprendido entre los 180 Hz y 1.1 KHz se mantienen totalmente planos.
Pero es que el segundo “milagro”, es que el equilibrio y balance tonal no se pierde respecto a las frecuencias bajas, lo que lo convierte en una auténtica “máquina musical”, pero la fiesta no se detiene ahí…

Porque las frecuencias altas, son capaces de mantenerse en ese vals musical con un buen equilibrio, detalladas, pero para nada incisivas, sobreelevadas, al contrario, muy relajadas, quizás le reste un poco de aire, de espacio, porque las más altas llegan atenuadas, pero tiene la doble virtud de mantener un buen nivel de detalle y no ser para nada molestas, todo dentro de este equilibrio tonal total de este IEM, que es un detalle muy agradecido.
En cuanto a la escena, ligeramente superior a la media, lo justo para notarse y una buena imagen en general, en ese sentido creo que se beneficia de este equilibrio tonal ya que no hay frecuencias que sean capaces de enmascarar a otras.

[b]CONCLUSIONES[/b]

Tal vez por precio, no sean para todo el mundo, al menos para quien se está iniciando, pero tampoco creo que defraude a nadie porque es una buena compra para quien esté en esa gama media de presupuesto porque creo que obtiene bastante más de lo que paga por ellos y, por supuesto, si alguien empieza con ellos, pues está entrando por una de las puertas grandes al sonido de calidad. Por tanto, por su equilibrio y calidad, los veo adecuados para cualquier estilo musical y cualquier uso, desde principiantes (con presupuesto) hasta usuarios avanzados que quieren maximizar su inversión, los Ziigaat Odyssey 2 son unos IEM muy a tener en cuenta.

Wow ! It sounds amazing right out of the box. This is my first proper IEM and i have in the past used headphones like R70x, M50x, Airpods pro 2, sony mdr-7506 and sennheiser 660 and IEMs like Moon Chu, Truth Hear and airpods pro 2. I am not an audiophile by any means so i cannot say much technical stuff about it but I did how ever notice that all the instruments sounds much clearer , the bass sounds tasty and rich without interfering with other instruments, the vocals sounds alive and engaging and instruments sits really well in the stereo image making it easier to notice them individually also noticed the dynamics in the audio. I am super impressed and this has basically initiated me into wanting to explore more . I'm using my LG30 to use these.

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.

The ZiiGaat Odyssey 2 is the latest offering from ZiiGaat, developed in collaboration with Hangout.Audio. As a 1DD + 3BA hybrid IEM, it positions itself as a “reference-leaning but versatile” universal in-ear monitor aimed at listeners who want a musical, balanced sound, not an extreme sound or very personal type signature, but rather something that works across a wide variety of music genres with fidelity, comfort, and practicality.

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.

Compared to its predecessor, Odyssey 2 retains the same design form but the housing is more durable thanks to metal material. Accessories are well upgraded from quality carrying cases, more diverse tips to module cables. In terms of sound quality, Odyssey 2 has more detailed sound than its predecessor, and the technical elements are also better, especially the audio imaging and analysis capabilities.

It holds a very special place among the IEMs I own (I keep it in a genuine leather jewelry box). It's a very precious IEM to me. It has a beautiful aluminum body and magnificent drivers. The vocals, the stage, and the perfectly balanced Knowles armatures pull you into the scene. It has a wonderful bass balance without being bloated, and the treble is perfectly balanced. I think this IEM will always be with me.

I will start by saying that at first, I was disappointed with this IEM, it is a great deal with the tips and carrying case but the sound was bad and I tried every tip I had (Tangzu Tang Sancai noble, Narrow Bore and Wide Bore version, Spinfit Omni and W1, stock tips, etc...) but nothing. That was until I switched to the Dunu S&S, medium size was great but now large is now the only tip I use for both comfort and audio quality, they go so well together, it was like night and day. The imaging on these IEMs is spectacular, as well as the bass and detail retrieval. You really need a deep bore eartip to enjoy this set to the fullest There are very few songs where I don't love this tuning. The cable is a bit too thin for my liking but the interchangeable end is very good quality. The tips included are good and you get both silicone and foam ones, but they both didn't really fit my ear shape.

Also, right, they are beautiful, a metal shell and faceplates that reminds me of volcanic sand and bioluminescent beaches. I don't think there are many IEMs that look THIS good.

Well this is my first Ziigaat IEM, and is a really really god surprise, excellent sound, great bass, mids and uppers, very good stage, details, the aluminiumShell is a jewel.... i uset it for hours, ang got none fatigue... fit perfect in ear

Ahora en Español , estos son mis primeros auriculares Ziigaat y no puedo estar mas contento, la resolucion, lel escenario, los detalles, el bajo los graves y agudos, va todo correcto, la elaboracion en aluminio es magnifica, ya tengo un recorrido comprando IEMs y la verdad estos son un acierto total, los escucho por horas y no tengo nada de fatiga, las voces se escuhan bastantes resaltadas, oigo desde el rock mas pesado hasta baladdas y fluyen bien con todos los generos inclusive con grabaciones no tan bibuenas, estos IEM responden 100%, se ajustan perfect a mi oreja. Recomendacion: No usar con Tips que potencien los bajos

All three of my ZiiGaats are great, but this is certainly the best. Outstanding resolution, refinement, and musicality. Phenomenal value!

n short, the Odyssey 2 strikes me as a system that knows exactly what it wants to offer, doesn't try to deceive anyone, and can appeal to all ears.

Its deep, fast, and well-textured bass, accompanied by natural and forward-focused mids, creates a balanced, clean, and incredibly easy to enjoy sound. Technically, it performs admirably, especially in terms of soundstage, separation, and positioning, although it doesn't aim for the highest level of resolution. Its biggest drawback is a treble that's too conservative for some listeners, slightly limiting the sense of spaciousness and micro-detail. In return, it offers virtually fatigue free listening and enormous versatility.

Personally, I think it's a great all-rounder and one of those IEMs that quickly wins you over; you don't need much time to understand its concept and enjoy it.

The best iems i ever tried 🔥

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.

ZiiGaat x Hangout.Audio: Odyssey 2

Their bass sounds are great for playing games or listening to music!

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.
