ZiiGaat - Doscinco

ziigaat doscinco or dunu davinci are awesome bass sets in your price rnage

The Zigaat Doscinco's are perfectly balanced, about the same as Hype 4, just without the sibilance. The treble is smooth and beautiful, but not lacking at all in detail. I hear things in the treble I've never heard before on other IEMs, but it's never sibilant.

I’m glad to see you compare the size/fit with that of the Doscinco as that is one of my concerns about these. The Doscinco is my largest IEM set and they get uncomfortable after a while, so I had pretty much decided I didn’t want anything else as big or bigger than those for comfort reasons. The other concern is that I can’t decide if the tuning is something I’d like or not just based on the descriptions. I wish someone would compare them with Kiwi Ears’ other new IEM, the Airoso. I know they’re very different IEMs, but hearing about where the tuning is similar or different might help me decide whether or not I’d like the Aether.

Yes! I would love to have a list of what IEMs in different price ranges fit under what sound signature. As a step toward trying to figure out my own tuning preferences, I just spent hours pouring through reviews and comments trying to create my own list of IEMs by sound signature and, oh my, what a royal pain that was! It would have been so nice if something like that already existed. If I want to try a certain sound signature, I need to know what IEMs to go to. And if I identify a sound signature I particularly like using budget IEMs, I will want to know which more premium IEMs share the desired sound signature so I can upgrade if I choose. I have bought my first few sets via a hit or miss process after reading a bajillion reviews and comments and, luckily, have been pretty pleased with each of them. I have the Kiwi Ears Cadenza, the Kiwi Ears Quartet, and the ZiiGaat Doscinco. (I also bought a set of KZ Castor Bass super cheap on Temu just to see what they sound like after reading a review that said everyone should buy these just to hear the crazy bass. When I saw them for only $12, I figured what the heck, why not.) I have enjoyed each of the sets I got in their own way but still don’t really know what my preferred tuning is. A resource that provides information on which IEMs have what tuning profile would go a long way in making the quest to figure that out easier. And, as another commenter mentioned, it would also be helpful to have information on what tuning profiles go best with different genres of music.

Are you American is the first question, because with all the price fluctuations, I don't quite know how to give a recommendation. The Tea Pros are tried and tested goodness so that's a good option. The doscinco and it's other variant is also pretty decent. The ziigat odyssey is also a pretty good choice.

It’ll depend a lot on the things you like in your music. The DaVinci and DosCinco are more forward with female vocals than the Performer 7 or the S08. S08 is a bit more forward than the P7. P7 is the most neutral of the bunch. Best bass is going to depend on what you’re specifically looking for. Sub bass rumble is probably best on the DosCinco, while the S08 has my favorite mid-bass punch. The DaVinci is nice, but can be a bit soft. The P7 sounds amazingly tight and accurate, but is lacking in intensity compared to the other three, which are much bassier. Cymbals your thing? The Performer 7 is airy and detailed and wonderful. The DaVinci is a close 2nd, but isn’t as smooth as the P7. I would say, if you want dynamic sound that makes those genres sound as exciting as possible, try and get the DosCinco on sale. It’s probably the best fit for Hip/Hop-Rap and Metal overall. The Performer 7 might be too neutral for your tastes, but it’s in my opinion, probably the most detailed and resolving of the bunch. The S08 is great as well, and might be the best value overall, but if you have the budget for the DosCinco and the DaVinci, then I would go for one of those. I personally prefer the DosCinco over the DaVinci, especially on sale. But if you’re sensitive to pressure issues or driver flex, I encountered driver flex on the DosCinco, but not on the DaVinci.

Ziigaat Doscinco.

They are cleaner than the doscinco, for me they have a better fit, however yes you are right even the doscinco are good for what you ask. I have no experience with the estrella sorry

You and I are on the same boat, looking at the Dynaquattro and Fatfreq Deuce. I do have the MP145 and the DosCinco’s. Can’t speak on the other 3 you mentioned, but the DosCinco’s definitely have bass, specially compared to MP145’s

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

It's only $17 so you can give it a try but no shot the ND Planet is better than the Doscinco, tuning wise you might prefer the Planet but the Doscinco will wipe the floor with it technicalities wise. OP is overexaggerating after watching HBB's review, HBB also said the KZ EDC Pro could be $100 but it's not even close.

Xenns tea pro or the ziigaat Estrella.. possibly the doscinco.. the hype 4 is not worth the money.. better options for 100$ less.. my tea pros destroy my 1000$ iems..

Planars in general don't have an impactful bass, DDs are best for bass usually. I would recommend either Ziigaat Doscinco or Estrella.

I personally have not heard the Ziigaat Arcadia so I can't comment on it, but I do own the Duece and the Doscinco and I personally prefer the Doscinco it's just a better tuning all the way around. The Duece does have better accessories if that is important to you. The Ziigaat Estrella is my current favorite set and I several TOTL sets including the MEST mk2, Monarch mk3, Oriveti OH700VB, Yanyin Mahina, Dunu Glacier and Canpur CP622B.

Here's a short list of my favorite bass focused IEMs. Inawaken Dawn Ms Ziigaat Doscinco Intuaura Splendor ll Fatfreq Duece Thieaudio Hype 4 Dunu DaVinci Dunu Glacier Canpur CP622B and my current favorite a modded Ziigaat Estrella.

I don't have the Tea pros, but I do own alot of bass focused sets including the Hype 4, Fatfreq Duece, Fatfreq Maestro Mini, Dunu DaVinci, Dunu Glacier, Ziigaat Doscinco, Oriveti OH700VB, and Canpur CP622B but my current favorite is the Ziigaat Estrella with cotton mesh filters over the vent.

The Duece is a good bass head set, but fair warning they have a very large nossel 6.9-7mm. I personally prefer the Doscinco, Arcadia and Odyssey to the Duece but that's just my preferences.

This and (mostly) crin's sub has a lot of younger folks looking for sub $50 recs and I can't really blame them, if not for the fact that most game sound engines are not that good that you'd notice any real difference I can directly compare my Cantor, Doscinco, Ea1000 and Arias and all I can hear is "hmm yes the sound is slightly more sound-ier on the Cantor" but I barely play any competitive FPSes since cs2 playerbase is shrinking in Asia and valorant has a particularly bad sound engine You're not going to hear notable differences unless you're getting a soundstage monster like the HD800s or just speakers lads, but it'll probably be a great investment for any other use case

You’d be better off saving for a ziigaat Doscinco or estrella, or a qoa Adonis new. I prefer the ziigaat doscinco much more, but it’s also a little more expensive. Estrella I haven’t tried, but it’s similar to doscinco with a bit more treble.

Ziigaat Doscinco works great for metal. Hype 4 as well, but the Doscinco is warmer and bassier while being pretty similar.

Yeah the doscinco has a little bit more, but the hype 4 is no slouch either, it’s close.

I have the doscinco, it’s more of a sidegrade. I definitely like it more though, and it’s better for gaming as far as imaging layering and separation goes. It trades blows with Hype 4/ dusk/ pilgrim.

Of the sets I have I’d say ziigaat Doscinco, xenns tea pro, hype 4 or I haven’t tried it but kiwi ears punch. I’d say deuce, but that midbass scoop…I haven’t heard that either so maybe it’s not as lean as it looks. If you can find a good deal the ikko oh10 is still really great, especially for that music.

Can't speak for the Deuce, but the Doscinco are a really nice set, plenty of bass, nice mids and a rolled off treble. There's also the Ziigaat Arcadia, kind of like Doscinco lite. Again, plenty of bass and mids, mellow treble. They aren't detail monsters, but they are easily an all day wear with no fatigue.

That's a question...I've not heard enough bass head IEM's to compare. Kiwi Ears HBB Punch, but you're talking next level cash for those. The Doscinco COULD be the ones for you, within budget. Thieaudio Hype 4 maybe? I'm struggling here!

IMO the doscinco and Deuce are good shouts. For myself I went for the Deuce. from what i can gather, its not that the Deuce has defects with the pins but that since they are recessed and tightly fit with the stock cable some people ended up wiggling it hard to get them out which caused some damage. But if i am not wrong they did end up providing some care tips in how to disconnect the cables properly.

Thank you for this! Hype 4 was in my short list of next IEM purchase but it sounds like it’s not for me. The Doscinco is amazing to me and I need that warm, bassier tuning it has. If Hype 4 has less then it’s a No Go for me.

My latest 2 IEM’s are the Ziigaat Doscinco and Shanling ME600. To my ears and sound preferences: Pure Audio Heaven. I’m bold enough to say I believe I’m done buying IEM’s for quite a while, reasonably for 2025…… Bold enough to say that as a comment/reply……smart enough to NOT say that as it’s own Post/Thread 😎

The more I listen to the Doscincos’ and me600’s, I go through my collection and separate out IEM’s I’m probably not gonna use again.

I bought six sets of IEMs this year. All of them sound good. Thieaudio Hype 4's and Ziigaat Doscincos are what I recommend. 

for me the best basshead iem is ziigaat doscinco ... good bass and clarity

And they can take low end EQ like champs since the dd drivers are already designated to sub frequencies. I run them +4dB in the 95-115 range depending on music and they’re weighty monsters

Glad someone else acknowledges the potential for EQ on sets with dedicated DD drivers on the low end and the importance of tips. Exactly how I feel about doscincos, with EQ they’re limitless for bassheads while keeping a clean sound. They sounded like dogwater with stock silicone tips though.

Haven’t heard the deuce yet but would say try every tip you have laying around before giving up on them. To not be impressed coming from bl-03 sounds crazy. I’ve had the bl03, arias, OH10 and now doscinco and the OH10 & doscinco are so much better than the arias/blons it’s not even close. From the feedback I’ve found this doesn’t sound right and may be a tip sealing issue. If they just don’t work for you, can def recommend the doscincos. They aren’t basshead stock but with the iso dd drivers they take EQ like a champ and become monsters.

I have both the odyssey and dosinco, and I much prefer the dosinco as my daily driver.

It's noticeably better, at least more impactful and doesn't bleed a whole lot into the mids. When paired to an amp, it's very very good. I did get the dosincos first, so the odyssey was a bit of a disappointment when it came to the bass quality. I'd say it's more neutral sounding, and the dosincos are exciting with a not-quite v shaped tune. They both do treble really well, which I think shines more on the dosinco when you think about how much bass it can produce. Hope that made sense lol.

I don't think Hype 4 is an improvement from P8. To me at least, Hype 4 is a terrible value set at $400. It has pretty bad bass dynamics in the sense that it's broad, boomy and undefined. It has bass but what bass it has doesn't sound nice. It's to the point where it crowds out other aspects of the IEM like technicalities and resolution. The mids are tuned already but it lacks texture to me and the treble is decent but can be harsh on a few tracks. It's just a very mid IEM overall and really only good until you've tried the competition. You can get the same performance as hype 4 from other IEMs like Doscinco, Cincotres or DaVinci which I all find to be on par hype 4 despite being cheaper. If you can find hype 4 on sale, they're not that bad but retail price, dont. These are just my opinions so your mileage may vary. A better IEM to me atleast would be Dusk or Pilgrim but I do have a liking to neutral-warm tuning. They knock it out of the park with their details, technicalities and overall how natural they sound. Extra points to Dusk DSP, honestly one of my favourite IEMs under $1000 and there not much room to upgrade from it but the DSP cable can be a deal breaker for some. Despite that, both are honestly Peak sets and I think they're very safe upgrades from any IEM

I also have the Chu2 and then got the HEXA , and I agree with you. Feels like hearing songs for the first time. Not punchy low ends but very clear sounding IEMs. Recently got the Ziigat Doscinco and now I am in the endgame. Hexa for movies and gaming for that extreme clarity and the doscincos for music. You can use KZ Starline eartips on the HEXA for the best sound and slightly higher bass.
