ZiiGaat x HBB Arcadia

The ZiiGaat x HBB Arcadia is a collaboration with HBB (Hawaii Bad Boy) of Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews, one of the most influential reviewers in the hobby. His input shaped a hybrid in ear monitor tuned squarely to a modern reference target at an accessible price.

Type and Technology

The Arcadia runs one dynamic driver and two balanced armatures per side. Bass comes from a custom in house 10mm dynamic driver with ZiiGaat's Topology diaphragm, built from layered nano particle dispersion patterns that sharpen speed and impact while keeping good sustain. A genuine Knowles ED 29689 full range armature carries the midrange and a Knowles RAD 33518 ultra frequency tweeter resolves the top end.

Sound Character

A strong, deep 8dB sub bass shelf cuts cleanly at 200Hz into a completely flat, natural midrange that presents music exactly as mixed. The treble follows the ear's perceived hearing with a natural mid treble curve and smooth decay, while the Knowles tweeter keeps the upper treble airy and well extended. Reference class tonality that also works as a studio monitor.

Build and Comfort

Lightweight ergonomic shells with a detachable 2 pin 0.78mm cable make the Arcadia easy to wear for long sessions and easy to re cable to taste.
