I already have it now! It's a wonderful set as an all-arounder: musical and great in OW2 competitive gaming! I love it and lovely choice on the faceplate! I have watched you for a while now and so happy that you have your own collab!
I just copped a pair of these for my birthday, I love the detail on these IEMS as of looks so far, These are my first pair of IEMs in my career so I decided to go out with a bang since i’ve always owned headphones. Very excited to try your set out! Congrats on your collaboration as well!
such an awesome thing that you've created these for everyone to have the best quality regardless of the hardware peoplehave. Fresh truly a man of the people. Hope I can try them one day!
These look so awsome man, i just bought my first iem the Simgot ew200, but ive been loving your reviews lately so these will probably be my feature next purchase. Keep up the great work man 💪🏼
Congrats on the collab! i buy sonus because of you and happy to see your own iem. (also bad good guy already review your arette based on music side and seems he like it also esp for the cleanliness and non fatiguing)
Okay so, these IEMs I wanted for my birthday, and I just bought these for myself for christmas because my father couldn’t around that time. I will give you my full feedback of these when they arrive on Monday!
I haven't bought these, but bought the qkz x hbb based on your review. I wanted to start with a cheap set to see if I like IEM for gaming. Great review 👍.
I have these and get a mild echo of distortion. What dac amp do you recommend for mobile gaming. Currently game on my Samsung s8+ with an anker usb c hub
@FreshReviewsYT bang for buck is my go to. But don't mind spending a little more when it's really worth it. I play call of duty mobile completively. Every night for the past 6 or 7 years. Tablet. Controller. Stand alone mic. Iems. Usb c hub to make it all possible with mediocre starlink internet due to location being a limiting factor. I would like the best amp I could get for sub 200. My gaming set up is not at all mobile. Desktop basically.
My max is 200. Prefer around 100 to be honest. Just want the most i can get out of these iems for gaming. I love music. My brain is wired up in a way that hears all the layers of music in a way most people can't without top quality audio so iems is giving me an experience I've never had in music as well so if a more mobile dac amp can help with that as well I'm game just can't do 300
Thank you! And take your time. Always try to be conscious of your budget! I appreciate the support but would rather everyone be comfortable with their spending!
I received the headphones today and what I have to say immediately is that they are much more comfortable to wear than the Mangird Tea Pro. I would be interested to know which in-ear tips you use the Ziigaat x Fresh Reviews Arete IEMs with and why there is no frequency range listed there? Neither on the packaging nor on the homepage? So what is the frequency response range at the Ziigaat Fresh Review IEM's?
@@FreshReviewsYT I have the chopin and i mainly play valorant and cs2, it works really good that i can pin point where anemy is just the stage is on the smaller side for gaming. Curious to see where it would be placed in your tierlist
coming from what i assume is a v shape tuned iem, the starfield, the graphs look very odd to me, do these just plainly sound more neutral/natural and maybe a bit boring like sennheiser headphones? and if i dont like how they sound i can just eq them to be more v shaped? probably losing some of the imaging performance, or do i just save a little more and get the dusk that should match my style more but be worse for gaming i will always be confused looking at iem frequency response graphs because they are so wild and the construction/drivers play a major part, like the dunu davinci vs crinacle dusk, looking at the graphs i wouldnt think the bass is THAT different but watching reviews people say the davinci can be considered a bass head iem where the dusk lacks bass
Unfortunately graphs don’t tell the whole picture. The Arete is a neutral IEM with punchy bass. It is not boring like a sennheiser headphone though, like the hd560. Probably the beauty about IEMs.
After a few days with the Arete I can say these are the perfect gaming IEMs, footsteps are louder, gunshots and explosions aren’t too overpowering, bass is perfect, I mainly used them in Apex Legends and they are beautiful for footsteps my friend called me a cheater because I was pre firing corners and calling out 3rd parties from a distance 🙌🏽 Match these with the Spinfit OMNI ear tips and they will sit perfect in with good and seal and even slight sound improvement.
as i mentioned in HBB's comments , i'm happy you got a collab ! ... some people are tired of collabs , but i think collabs are great ... because if you have a tuning preference that matches who you follow the most ( HBB and Fresh for me ) since i game and have similar music libraries , it's usually easier for me to pull the trigger and lose a chunk of my wallet 😅😅 .... these are beautiful man .... i hope to see you get a chance at a budget set as well , that would be 🔥 .
I would like to know two things, how does the bass compare to EM6L and how does it compare to XEENS Top in terms of imaging? I really like the EM6L and aiming to go up a tier in the near future, been eyeing XENNs Top but Arete is sounding very compelling
I'm looking for IEM's for the game pubg. It is important to me that I can precisely locate the opponent's footsteps. Tones are often swallowed in pubg. Can these IEMs avoid this and precisely reproduce individual action tones?
Got them, they're extremely loud .. gonna have to down a few decibels.. cause phew if its all the way up, i can hear the wind, pipes & every little effect... but overall great IEM's just need to find the right tick where its not to loud
Fresh, I'm looking to buy a pair of the Arete's for the Linsoul black Friday sale and wanted to ask a question about them. How do they perform in Rainbow Six Siege? I play mostly COD and R6 and for the price of the arete I feel comfortable buying them and knowing I'm getting my moneys worth.
Respect Bro! 🤜🤛 Even though you tuned this for gaming. It's THE best natural, organic yet clear and detailed, U-shaped tuned hybrid IEM... ever! If I could express the Arete in emoji form, it would be this... 💎✨👌
Comparing them to the 490 is very difficult. The 490 is a very good headphone particularly when paired with the right source. I do think the 490 wins over the canon and Arete, but the IEMs aren’t far behind for a competitive experience.
Awesome review I’m really interested to buy it but when you want to replace a console headset we need to know which mic we could pair with it with a console like PS5. That would be awesome if you can guide us. I’m sure many are interested
Oh Fresh... The Arete 👑 beat my 2nd choice of IEM... the Myer Audio Sliivo SL-41. The Arete is my new 2nd IEM in my wishlist. My first choice was Moondrop Kato 👑.
I just ordered my pair, but the one month waiting time is a bit of a bummer. Looking forward to giving them a try. Do you mind letting me know what keyboard you’re using on this video? Thank you and congrats on the collab!
can i use an inline mic with these ? Im looking to make my first purchase of iem's to use with my ally x but id like to be able to talk to teammates on the off chance i find some good internet.
Wanting to get these for playing Tarkov mainly on PC. What AMP/DAC would pair well with these? Or do i need to go that route even? Thank you for any advice/help!
@@FreshReviewsYT dx3 pro+ at high gain 19 bd makes noise on these headphones, just hissing when idle, but if you switch to low gain 6 db it stops making noise, is this normal?
I notice that most of your recommendations aren't marketing 7.1 surround sound, maybe I'm missing the feature in the product details. I've always thought having that feature would be a must have but from your reviews it doesn't seem like something you actually use. Is that correct, we don't really need the surround sound headphones?
@@FreshReviewsYT I ended up getting the Kimura Duo because I thought I could settle for something "good" that met my needs for playing Escape from Tarkov without being too expensive. Plus it had an included mic. And while I can say it does do a decent job, I'm noticing some sound cues that are a bit strange and feels off. Someone said it might be the "timbre" but I don't know enough about audio to say for sure. Note that I am using Spinfit W1 eartips. I was initially targeting the Orchestra Lites but was put off by the numerous comments about it's lack of comfort. Unfortunately, the only way to know the differences between IEMs for sure is to test them so I may be getting more IEMs as soon as I can afford them. You say the Arete's are much better. But would you say the Arete's are worth buying now if I wanted a dramatic increase in audio quality over the Kimura Duo?
I got the Hype 4s because of yoy. I love them for PUBG only game I play. But do these have bass like the Hype 4s? I only care about gaming don’t care for music
@@FreshReviewsYT I had bought the kiwi orchestra lights and I hated that they had no bass at all. What are they compared to that bass wise ? I still need my bass like the hype 4s but would love to have another pair of IEMs for gaming . That’s why I’m trying to figure out before I order
Appreciate it! Fun idea for a video that I think people would enjoy. Video and audio settings. In Apex I was struggling so bad and was about to quit the game permanently because I couldn’t see enemies at all. Literally they could be right in front of me and I would have no idea. Changed up some settings and finally could see people. Then with audio I had no idea if I was supposed to use Spatial Audio or not. Also Stereo Vs 7.1. As well as eartips such as foam, wide/narrow bore. Once I figured out which ones to pick I instantly got better. Went from struggling to get out of Silver to breezing into PLAT in Apex. Again appreciate everything you do! Will definitely pick up the Arete next time they go on sale!
Just starting to dable with IEMs and have a two questions. One: Do you need to EQ this IEM at all or is setting the EQ to “Flat”will be good enough? Two: Do you have a Squiglink if these IEMs do need to be EQd? Great video all in all!
Hey just wanted to ask if you have any recommendations for bullet style iems for fps (iems worn cable down so not over the ear) as regular over the ear iems gives me a headache
Sure. The Arete is a more reference tuning that feels clear. The splendor is more bass emphasized and warmer. Two different tuning preferences that both happen to kick ass in game
I’m so sorry. I actually tried the kato about two years ago and it’s just not fresh in my memory bank. It would be best to compare the two on graphs. Going off my remote memory, I recall the kato being sharper. But it’s waaaaay back in my memory bank lol
Getting into content creation, and these will be my second set of iems ever, do you recommend using a dongle? And do you have any cable recommendations?
it depends what you want, but i would look for at least 6N OFC for the cables, tripowin and kinera make decent ones for not too much, the new kinera gramr pro came out recently too and its seems like its gonna be a endgame mic for something thats actually apart of the iem
Initially, from what you saying that maybe something what i need. To much bass in COD can be sometimes very overwhelming. 3 weeks and will be ready for testing. I di have one question if you dont mind, if this is not a "secret". How do you deal with gun shooting sound in COD? My sounblaster g6 clearly is not designed for IEMs, gun shoots are 10 times louder than rest of the game. I knoe there is a soundlock for that but it is not work well for my hearing, its also loudnes equalisation but sounds like trash. Im thinking about topping dx3 pro but dont wanna,waiste money if i will not have solution for tune down overwhelming loudnes when im shooting. Missing the days playing Quake 3 arena, Counter Strike, half Life and Soldier if Fortune. 😅😅😅
@@FreshReviewsYT Yeah. Im that old...playing competitively Star Craft 2, Red Alert 2, Tekken Tag tournament 2, quake 3 arena, unreal tournament, Diablo 2 LOD, SOF 1 and 2 and counter strike. 20 years ago.... Thanks for simple comparisation between G6 and topping.
Dac will be focused on IEMs exclusively. So need something with low output. Topping DX3 pro plus+ has a much more functions than i need. Have ever tried Topping dx1? Its half of price but how much different with performance? Please help😊
This is a general overview. I certainly plan to have another video when the retail package comes. Thanks guys!
Second video I’ll go more into gaming highlights and music.
@@FreshReviewsYTCounter Strike 2 on the list?
Did you receive financial compensation for working on the Arete? Do you get a percentage on sales of the Arete?

Two: Do you have a Squiglink if these IEMs do need to be EQd?
Great video all in all!
No eq necessary
Hi would it suit classical and jazz?
I believe so. Especially if you’re more on the analytical side
Hey just wanted to ask if you have any recommendations for bullet style iems for fps (iems worn cable down so not over the ear) as regular over the ear iems gives me a headache
I’m so sorry I haven’t tried many
Just curious because they are so close in price but what do you think this iem has on the splendor or what makes them different?
Sure. The Arete is a more reference tuning that feels clear. The splendor is more bass emphasized and warmer. Two different tuning preferences that both happen to kick ass in game
@@FreshReviewsYT thank you
I just ordered! Now the waiting game.
Swing back and let me know how you like them!
Hi fresh, first of all congrats on the collab!, I hope that you could review the EPZ g10, heard they match against the ew200
Ty!
How would you compare these to the Moondrop KATO's?
I’m so sorry. I actually tried the kato about two years ago and it’s just not fresh in my memory bank. It would be best to compare the two on graphs. Going off my remote memory, I recall the kato being sharper. But it’s waaaaay back in my memory bank lol
What eartips you recommend for these? I use moondrop spring tips or final audio type E. Would these work good?
I would test those first yea. I use the azlasednaearfit asmr tips
Getting into content creation, and these will be my second set of iems ever, do you recommend using a dongle? And do you have any cable recommendations?
Tripowin Zonie is great. I recommend a nice amp dac like the dx3 pro +
Hey Fresh, would you say the Arete are worth the price increase over the supermix4 for warzone alone?
Yep
Is there any option to get like the one that you have in the thumbnail?
There is not. It comes with the branding
@@FreshReviewsYT to bad, i like that kinda smoky vibe
In the shop, the colour is to bright
Good more than Supermix 4 for call of duty ?
Yep
@@FreshReviewsYT Supermix 4 or Ziigaat which one more bass
Do you know if the unit featured in the video without the Ziigaat branding on the faceplate will be available for purchase?
It will not. This is my final demo unit from our back and forth testing. This is not the retail unit
have u already tried the new truthear gate for apex?
I haven’t
For this IEMs, which cable would you recommend? With different budgets? Thank you for your response.
I use the Eros s or the default cables if I like them
@@FreshReviewsYT no one better than original and cheaper than éros s ? Please
it depends what you want, but i would look for at least 6N OFC for the cables, tripowin and kinera make decent ones for not too much, the new kinera gramr pro came out recently too and its seems like its gonna be a endgame mic for something thats actually apart of the iem
Just ordered my pair..what cable are you using in the video/where to find info on good iem cables?
I believe it’ll come with a good cable. No reason to upgrade. But this is the effect audio Eros S
Initially, from what you saying that maybe something what i need.
To much bass in COD can be sometimes very overwhelming.
3 weeks and will be ready for testing.
I di have one question if you dont mind, if this is not a "secret".
How do you deal with gun shooting sound in COD?
My sounblaster g6 clearly is not designed for IEMs, gun shoots are 10 times louder than rest of the game. I knoe there is a soundlock for that but it is not work well for my hearing, its also loudnes equalisation but sounds like trash.
Im thinking about topping dx3 pro but dont wanna,waiste money if i will not have solution for tune down overwhelming loudnes when im shooting.
Missing the days playing Quake 3 arena, Counter Strike, half Life and Soldier if Fortune. 😅😅😅
Bro. Soldier of fortune was great. Haven’t heard that one in so long. I hated the G6. I love the dx3 pro +
@@FreshReviewsYT
Yeah. Im that old...playing competitively Star Craft 2, Red Alert 2, Tekken Tag tournament 2, quake 3 arena, unreal tournament, Diablo 2 LOD, SOF 1 and 2 and counter strike.
20 years ago....
Thanks for simple comparisation between G6 and topping.
@@nanker8687 Those were the days. Calling into a buddy's ip address on red alert 2
When I first got into audiophile gear I got rid of my soundblaster. It didn’t sound good with anything I had. Schiit stack is a good starting point.
Dac will be focused on IEMs exclusively.
So need something with low output.
Topping DX3 pro plus+ has a much more functions than i need.
Have ever tried Topping dx1? Its half of price but how much different with performance? Please help😊
Thanks brother🙏🏻🙏🏻
I want to get your arete, do I understand the linsoul sale correctly - if I buy 50$ coupon it should stack with the 10% discount on 11.11?
@@GFClocked I believe you’re correct but not positive
Great video! Would you say the set is fine for someone looking for a non fatiguing experience and long hours of use ? Thanks!
Hard to say, as we all experience fatigue differently. For me I can wear them while streaming all day and no experience issues!
Are these good for r6?
