5 Driver Hybrid IEM

The Arete features a 1DD+4BA Hybrid Configuration, designed to deliver a balanced and natural sound signature with powerful bass, detailed mids, and precise treble. Engineered for audio enthusiasts and professionals alike, it provides top-tier performance across a range of music genres and applications.

5 Driver Hybrid Configuration

Like its name implies, the Arete utilizes every driver to its full potential in this 1DD+4BA configuration. Classic American Knowles drivers were selected for the midrange and treble, owing to their tried and true performance, while a new biocellulose diaphragm dynamic driver was chosen to deliver a powerful bass.

Biocellulose Diaphragm Driver

A robust 10mm biocellulose diaphragm dynamic driver powers the sub-bass and bass response. Using stronger neodymium magnets, the bass response is extremely responsive and tight, while the biocellulose membrane allows better texturing in the low-end. Compared to typical balanced armtuare woofers, this larger 10mm dynamic driver allows significantly better bass performance.

American Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers

Two Knowles 29689 balanced armature drivers, famed for its persistent best-in-class midrange performance, deliver natural and accurate mids and mid-trebles. Particularly, vocals and string instruments excel thanks to the precisely tuned 29689 drivers. Finally, the Knowles 31736 twin-balanced armature drivers was selected to deliver pristine upper treble response. These drivers are some of the best known and beloved drivers in the IEM industry, and we have brought them back to introduce a fresh sound, thanks to our latest tuning innovations.

Balanced Monitor Tuning

Tuning was the most essential aspect in developing the Arete. The tuning had to be natural, like professional studio monitors, while still delivering punchy bass and an enjoyable listening session. The midrange is almost flat and natural from 300Hz to 1kHz, which allows instruments and vocals to sound exactly like they were recorded, without any coloration. Additionally, this neutral midrange allows excellent layering and imaging of instruments, allowing listeners to discern each instrument line within the mix. 

Concentrated Bass Impact

To deliver a subwoofer-like bass signature, the bass has been tuned with a 9dB shelf that precisely cuts off at 300Hz. The bass hit is strong and deep, yet clean so that it does not add any muddiness to the sound. The tuning of the lower frequencies allows music enjoyers to fully appreciate all of the bass in the music, while retaining a clean and natural overall tone.

Professional Treble Response

The treble was carefully tuned, balancing clean tone with a comfortable and natural perception of upper treble harmonics. The upper treble response is free of any unnatural peaks or harshness, while delivering all the micro-details and nuances in the music. Finally, our special utilization of the Knowles 31736 tweeters allows excellent treble extension, allowing a more airy and spacious sound. 

Three-way Crossover

The Arete’s tuning was made possible by an intricate 3-way electronic crossover system, along with three independent acoustic sound tubes per side. This configuration provides the best separation in the frequency ranges.

Awesome!

The Ziigaat Arete’s, simply put - are amazing for gaming. COD sounds (after putting on the Arete’s) come totally alive! The special accuracy is more accurate, the sound detail and the “space” set an amazing sound stage in game. They are so crisp, but not overly so as to be sharp or harsh. The bass is perfectly balanced, as are the mid drivers and teeeter… the cross over is tuned to perfection. I was worried the Arete’s would not perform as well as my over ear headphones. I was wrong, I will never go back to the muffled sound and lack of detail that over the ear headphones give when compared to the bright full sound of the Arete IEM’s. Even when using them with a total flat frequency response setup on my sound blaster or GG sonar software eq’s - the full range sound is astounding!

There are slight improvements that can be made. The Arete’s are comfortable, BUT much more so with after market ear cushions. The connecting cable is made of some weird plastic and is too stiff. I immediately purchased after market cushions that were more comfortable as well as an after market cable that was more pliable in order to resolve those two issues.

It was well worth the purchase of the after market parts, because the sound of the Arete’s for COD is nothing short of spectacular!

Buy them, and enjoy COD sounds like never before! They are so good, it’s almost like cheating…
