Short answer: the TIPSY M3. Both are rated 3.6/5 for sound quality (#751 and #700 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the TIPSY M3 costs $217.99 against $229 for the ZiiGaat Odyssey, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy.
Why pick the TIPSY M3: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 69 against the Harman target. Watch for: An uneven response, 2.1 dB standard deviation from target.
What the ZiiGaat Odyssey does well: Bass sits right on target with good extension, and the warm tuning measured by 25 people is smooth and fatigue free. The tradeoff: The 1 to 3 kHz region is about 3 dB low and presence about 6 dB low, with a 6.6 dB dip near 3.9 kHz, so vocals lack presence and clarity.
Buy the TIPSY M3. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $11.01 less than the ZiiGaat Odyssey.

Frequency Response Compared
Both headphones’ measurements overlaid on the Harman target. Above the target sounds louder in that range, below it quieter. Each curve is the median of several independent measurements, shifted so its 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB, so only the tuning is compared.
