If you thought that last year’s Arete IEMs were the only collaboration between ZiiGaat and Fresh Reviews, think again: The Arete II IEMs have arrived and are noticeable improvements over last year’s model. The newest gaming-forward IEMs from LINSOUL are a must-have if you’re one who appreciates HiFi audio experiences and a gamer. Over the past year, I’ve had a chance to review several of ZiiGaat’s...[Read More]

There is no going back after this. ZIIGAAT sent us the Crescent 2DD + 2BA Hybrid IEM set to review this past month, and I’ve learned so much since taking on that task.

Although Bluetooth audio has improved over the past decade, using in-ear monitors (IEMs) with a standalone digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is one of the best ways to fine-tune audio. I’m sure you’ve seen some streamers of late using IEMs instead of traditional headsets, too, so don’t think that IEMs are just for HiFi audio. What if ...[Read More]
