how is the treble extension and the vocals on odyssey? Just recently found out that I actually do enjoy well extended and forward trebles and I enjoy vocal forward with decent thump.

As a big Explorer fan, the Arcadia wowed me. When it came out, my initial impression was it was the love child of Explorer and Doscinco ( which was my favorite set 6 months ago ). At times it gives me a Tea2 with some of the treble ( 4-8k ) turned down a little. Arcadia also has very fair price at $200.

Vocals are wonderful to me, nothing to complain about there! Treble is well extended to my ears (caveat that I hear out to ~15.5khz at normal listening volume, 17khz with serious gain) but I wouldn’t call it forward or recessed. It’s not for Trebleheads but has enough shimmer to me without ever getting unnatural or standing out in the mix. If you want more treble emphasis and forward female vocals, I think that Estrella would be a better pick from Ziigaat (and there are other IEMs out there as well). Odyssey excels at being what I would call “Neutral Plus”, in other words well balanced with just a hint of extra excitement on both ends.
