"All and all it's a very very musical set. Works on many genres (tested on j-pop, rock, edm, post rock, hip-hop, classical, slow indies) with EDM standing out amongst them. ... this is such a good set to just vibe."
"after the arrival of the Odyssey I haven't been able to take them out of my ears ... they take you on an immersive eargasmic journey"
"The best thing about the Odyssey is no doubt the tuning. ... I need something more versatile which works with all sorts of content (basically all music genres, movies, gaming)."

"Yeah the Odyssey are by far my favourite IEM in this price bracket. ... Someone from Ziigaat thought "Hey, what's the name of the best IEM in the world? Subtonic Storm? Let's built an IEM which at least graphs the same" ... and it worked out. Of course there are still worlds between, but for that price, great! ... The Odyssey is AMAZING for the price. Nothing comes close."
"The Odyssey is AMAZING for the price. Nothing comes close."
"I really can't see myself needing anything else unless I wanted to make a profound price jump to, say, an Oracle Mk3 or a Dunu BD."

"clean and balanced yet still strong mid-bass punch and sub-bass slam"
"They're nice to crank, then that gets the bass thumpin'."
"lotsa mid-bass thump and sub-bass rumble, while maintaining balance and clarity."

"The chassis of the Odyssey fits snugly onto my ears concha with no pointy edges poking or any surface that would create a hotspot on my outer ears."
"Lucky me, I can wear them all day while working. 😄"
"they fit nicely in my ear. For comparison I find it more comfortable than my previous IEMs the Chu2 and Hexa."

"Imaging and Resolution is definitely the strong point of this set, very pinpoint/precise and very good detail retrieval."
"absolutely blow them out of the water in terms of resolution and depths."
"If You like the explorer, then Ziigaat Odyssey would charm your ears. ... It’s the explorer but “better” more sculpted. With better detail and air. Still accessible, fun, and addictive."

"it was so bright I couldn't listen to it over 30% volume when explorer passed 70 with ez."
"This IEM, was just not for me. I tried and tried but I don't lisen to alot of kpop to justify the forwarded vocal and became very fatiguing."
"It's very bright (not to the point of sharp but almost there) so if you're treble sensitive pls avoid this set"

"I actually do agree they sound mid af even to me at low volume and everything about it scales higher/better as the volume goes up."
"though you have to crank them."

"the tips that comes with it kinda sucks? They're on the harder side and the surface is not sticky at all hence I can't get a good seal on em."
"Odyssey felt rly good (accept the cable)"
"Accessories are pretty basic. ... Cable is thin and feels kind of flimsy. ... Tips and carrying case are only ok."
I'm curious about the Odyssey 2, because I already have the Odyssey 1! Best of luck everyone
If you like the Odyssey that much then maybe you can get it again during sales. You can also reach out to Linsoul and see what they can do about your missing piece. I like the Odyssey as well, and 2 other sets in that price range I also like are the Xenns Tea Pro and Thieaudio Hype 4. There's also the Odyssey 2, to me it's cleaner but less fun than Odyssey OG, and with better build and accessories. I still prefer the bass on the OG.
Just enjoy them and give them more time. But if you’re buying in the next few months: since you love the Zero:Reds, you can definitely aim for the Truthear Novas. If you really like the EW200s, maybe try the Supermix 4 (they are kind of like the Nova but brighter). I actually had EW200s too before. >ZIIGAAT odysseys Yeah they are great, I demoed them twice and loved it. Not sure about the successor since I haven’t been able to try it. If you like treble specifically, consider planars like the Simgot ET142 or the S12 Pro. For multi-driver sets, you could also look for the Blessing 3.
Either Ziigaat Lush, Odyssey 1, Luna, or Arcanis. I have tried Lush and Odyssey, and I think they are both punching way above their price point. Lush is honestly too good to skip for around $150 (based on local pricing) and Odyssey 1 is just a crazy set for about $200 (again, local pricing). As for Luna and Arcanis, unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to try them yet but hoping to tho.
I have the odyssey 1, and I'm very curious about odyssey 2
Got my first pair of IEMs (truthear x crin zero red) a few years ago and typically favoured TWS until I got my FiiO BTR13 this year which is when I jumped into the audiophile rabbit hole. Instead of carefully considering my next pair of IEMS using graphs and reviews, I impulsively bought a few sets to see what kind of tuning I enjoyed the most. I found the Tangzu wan’er 2 quite pleasant and wanted to upgrade from there. I went to audiofest Toronto 2025 and found the ZIIGAAT odysseys which felt like a steep price but I’m obsessed with the sound. Ended up buying the FiiO FT1 while I was there and I love them. I plan on selling the zero reds as I’m not a fan of the bass signature and I bought the simgot EW200s and I’ve been loving them very much. As of now my current daily’s are my EW200 with my snowsky echo mini or the BTR13, my FiiO ft1 and a pair of grado SR60e for desktop open backs. Where do I go from here?
They’re one of my favourite sets, happy listening!
might be too bright, try OG Odyssey
I was in the same situation, used AirPods Pro 2 for years. I‘d recommend GK Kunten if you‘re on a budget or Ziigaat Odyssey (I prefer the Odyssey 1 but 2 are also nice).
Ziigaat Odyssey are best for hard rock and metal!
Ziigaat Odyssey is what you need!
I try not to go well above three: Aful Dawn-X is main universal and easy listen to iem. Ziigaat Odyssey is a spare set for tough feeld conditions. And now I'm searching for the bassy set to accompany Dawn-X. Mega5est OG and Tangzu Gate will be sold. If i had 9 iems, I would sell 2/3 and will try something higher tier...
Ziigaats have pretty universal fit. I love my Odysseys OG, but there are many variants for your preferred tuning.

difference is more into maturity, general sound experience, and refinement. but it definitely depends on your preference tuning(s). I previously came from the original KZ Castors (both Bass and Silver Harman), then jumped to KZ AM16 Balanced, but I have already experienced few higher end IEMs around 50-200 USD. AM16 Balanced, especially if bought on a discount or at low price (just like mine at $33 locally here in the Philippines, but in the US it might be around $50-60). Better terms of detail retrieval, instrument separation, and "soundstage" vs the Castors (even if I EQ them to a similar preference EQ I like) But with a little bit more pricy set than the AM16 Balanced, because of its deep V-shape tuning and a little bit more refinement on those more expensive sets, those sets sound better overall. (specifically Ziigaat Odyssey 1) Though personally the AM16 Balanced with PEQ is getting there, sounds wonderful, though definitely those two sets are better, But definitely I know now what to upgrade to and most likely I know what are my end game sets. Until I don't need to EQ. My Mild-V/U shape EQ is around the Xenns Mangird Tea Pro and Ziigaat Odyssey 1. https://preview.redd.it/enkhr59aqhyf1.png?width=2400&format=png&auto=webp&s=35e8f417e92d2acc4f2be3885944fbb1a67f9a52
Yeah.... i mained hd600 for 2years before going for Arya Stealth. Not a fan of iems, had a few budget sets but recently i went for a testing blind buy phase: horizon, performer 7, odysey 1, defiant, titan s2 These are great!
