"The big PLUS for me on these compared to the Novas is that they have recessed 4kHz - it reduces fatigue and it’s not harsh on the ears. Especially with those high pitch gunshots and flash bangs."
"excellent imaging for FPS games ... SteelSeries has better imaging"
"I can hear more things than everyone i play with - footsteps etc.."

"Hype 4: more 'fun' sound great bass extension and impact"
"Strong sub-bass extension ... excellent extension in both the upper and lower registers, covering the full breadth of the sonic spectrum."
"Not as a basshead or even something like Martilo, but yeah, it got a good quality sub bass rumble and good mid bass tactility"

"Unfortunately Ziigaat's shell shape creates pressure points near the upper ear. ... My only complaint is their shell shape creates a pressure point on the top/back of my ear. ... Ziigaat's shells are the only ones I've ever had a problem with. CHANGE UP THE SHELL SHAPE GUYS."
"My only issue is that due to the lack of a wing for added stability, the shell can literally do a 360 in my ear. ... So what this means is that there is no set stable position for the shells to rest in my ears. ... Almost like the shells are free floating, and the only thing keeping them in play is the fact that I have the nozzle in a nice deep insertion."
"Lacking ergonomics"

"held-back from true greatness by its over-active upper-mids and treble"
"Higher-pitched vocals can sizzle"
"They have all of the characteristics of the Xenns except what I found to be a bit of harshness in the higher frequencies for some songs."

I love the ZiiGaat Crescent
r/iems • ZiiGaat Horizon GIVEAWAY!! Enter now from 10/6 to 10/12!! ->I'm probably in the minority here, but I have no complaints about a company releasing a ton of options with branded Knowles or Sonion BAs instead of bellsing crap. People have no idea the price difference in branded BAs is sometimes an increase of 10X over drivers companies like Aful use. If you are at all familiar with graphs and how an IEM diverges from JM-1 (neutral), plus the different properties of certain driver types (Dynamic vs. BA vs. Planar etc) you can usually guess 90% of what it sounds like. I like options. My only complaint is their shell shape creates a pressure point on the top/back of my ear. Ziigaat's shells are the only ones I've ever had a problem with. CHANGE UP THE SHELL SHAPE GUYS.
r/iems • KZiigaat back at it again ->Might as well get the teas as you will have the itch to see what’s better… speaking from experience as I’ve gone from Qkz hbb to supermix4 to…. Probably tea pros or siigaat crescents
r/iems • Best first IEMs ->Favourite iem from ZiiGaat, i havent tried them all, but have to say the ZiiGaat Crescent. The Horizon will introduce me to a different sound signature, they are also really cool looking.
r/iems • ZiiGaat Horizon GIVEAWAY!! Enter now from 10/6 to 10/12!! ->I like it better than the Xenns tea pro and sometimes more than the top pro. The latter is a little too lean in the bass on some tracks. I also find myself listening to the Venus more than the Ziigaat crescent, it’s more resolving despite having almost the same amount of air.
r/iems • What's the best IEM release of 2025? ->Em6L or Supermix4, top end being Kiwi Astral, Ziigaat Crescent, Punch audio martilo are going to be the top for gaming outside of spending $450-550, get a Dac and amp or an all in one combo, life will be perfect afterwords for gaming and everything else, movies even single player games. Highly recommend dx5ii for gaming and scalpel like clean precise sound, you'll be clairvoyant in FPS where sound is mandatory.
r/iems • Best IEM for gaming (pinpoint audio) ->Arma reforger... Dayz, Squad, CS2 all the multiplayer games that I play are benefited by their tuning. Edit: Now that I have the Ziigaat crescent and the Punch audio martilo.. id put any of those up there with the Astral.. really need to spend some crazy time on all 3 of these because they are so f'n good. :) Astral remains daily driver unless i need something exciting for killing floor or single player then I throw on the martilo.
r/iems • Are Kiwi ears Astral the new reference for gaming? ->Your going to want a Ziigaat most likely just due to the very wide spectrum of genres you've presented, Crescent(my favorite Ziigaat) Kiwi Ears Astral, Ziigaat Luna, Soft Ears Volume S. Other then that, I ran out of my own personal experience to dive any deeper, I suspect that with the Luna or Crescent you'll be super happy IME.
r/iems • Best IEM under $300 ->Ya there is amazing stuff in the 200 to 300 dollar space, really, like the latest run of Ziigaat stuff, Odyssee comes to mind.. And Doscinco.. There is also the Dunu Davinci.. Juzear 61t..we are having our little brains blown out the ear holes at this point. Going up further in price, the tuning seems to get very specific and unique. You really need to know very well what you want. I think most people could stop at something like Odyssee
r/iems • When do IEMs start to get mind-blowing? ->there are 5-10 great IEMs in 230-530 price range which I wouldn't say one of them is better than the others, rly depends on your tuning preference, actual difference to these would be 800+ IEMs, those Ziigaats fall behind a bit in soundstage compared to Volume S, Tea Pro, maybe not Variations but they are all still good just there are better ones for that
r/iems • BEST iem under 500? ->truthear pure! tried it recently & absolutely loved it. i also have the ziigaat crescent right now but i prefer the tuning of pure over it. now im just waiting to try the crinear daybreak.
r/iems • What's your favorite IEM under $50-$150? ->Part of me thinks: *You’ll have fun with almost anything you pick, just choose one and enjoy the music.* This is actually the truth. 5+2, volume S, 12 different ziigaats, hype 4 mk1/2, etc, etc, they all rock and you will be happy unless you can back to back them and pick them apart otherwise 99 percent wouldn't be able to find any real flaws, not to mention the 20 planers I didn't include.
r/iems • There are too many options ! what is going on? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
