ZiiGaat - Estrella

I would say the ZiiGaat Estrella or the Xenns Tea Pro

YES the Odyseey is very special. I often can't chose between them and my Estrella's Ziigaat is making some great IEMs.

Everybody's ears are different. The stock ear tips work perfectly in my ears and imho are quite good. Yes I've tried 7 or 8 different tips with these. I love my Estrella's but when they are a bit to aggressive the Odyssey's balance fits the spot very nicely. Ziigaat seems to underprice all their products making them a great deal. If I had paid $280 -$300 for the Odyssey's I'd still be a happy customer.

The Ziigaat Estrella are great for Pink Floyd but if you double your budget the Dunu Glacier is like hearing them for the first time.

Ziigaat Estrella $236 what a great deal I may buy another one as a backup.

Right now it's probably the TRI i3 mk3. Edit: I totally forgot that the Ziigaat Estrella was under $300 so it's definitely up there as well.

Tea pro es un Mangird Top lite. No recomiendo la versión "lite" en ningún dispositivo (teléfonos, tabletas, auriculares...). Sugeriría 4 iems en 4 rangos de precio. Menos de 100€: Clavelon Delta (cálido, abierto, limpio y buena tonalidad). Menos de 250€: KiwiEars Quintet (más clínico pero divertido, buena técnica, muy abierto). Menos de 350€: Ziigaat Estrella (sonido atractivo, buen timbre debido a que no tiene una tonalidad puramente audiófila, buena técnica, limpio, aireado). Menos de 600€: Moondrop Variations (más versátil, más técnico, muy abierto pero un poco débil en algunas canciones). Edición: \-Dinámica: Variations=Estrella>Quintet>Clavelon. \-Apertura: Variations>Quintet=Estrella>Clavelon. \-Resolución: Estrella=Variaciones>Quinteto=Clavelon. \-Inmersión: Clavelon.

I would suggest you try to find the Xenns Tea Pro on sale, I just bought it for $309 with a coupon. If you don't want to wait for a sale I recommend the Ziigaat Estrella either of these sets will work wonders with Hip-hop. I have seen the Ziigaat Odyssey recommended in this post and while I consider the best IEM at its price, I personally don't believe it's the best for Hip-hop, but that's just my opinion.

Yes, Xenns Mangrid Tea Pro is a great set and the Estrella is a very dynamic set which is what I love about it. The Estrella actually sounds a lot like my Canpur CP622B just not quite as refined or detailed.

I have three that immediately come to mind. The first I bought on sale for $20, the Seeaudio x Tangzu Shimin Li Encounter Edition. It's an all metal shell IEM that has a Vee shaped tuning, just a really good set especially for the price. The second is the TOTL Simgot, the EM10, it's a 10 driver set that has a Harman tuning, with excellent bass quality, and great details and instrument separation. The third is the Ziigaat Estrella, which is ok out of the box, but if tuned with the Shortbus Audio tape mod becomes a top tier set. This is one of my favorite IEMs along with the Dunu Glacier, Thieaudio Monarch mk3, MEST mk2 and Canpur CP622B.

Ziigaat Estrella, if my house burned down tonight and my collection of IEMs was destroyed, which is around 240 pairs, the first ones I would replace are the Estrella. I also would replace the Fiio UTWS5 2024 immediately.

The Ziigaat Estrella with Shortbus Audio YouTube reviews tape mod. For me it competes with some of the best endgame IEMs that I own including the MEST mk2, Dunu Glacier, Thieaudio Origin, and Canpur CP622B.

Decided I needed to try some new IEMs after having used some Shure SE846s for the last decade. Especially after having updated my studio monitors to ATC SCM20ASL this past year (absolute end game speakers for me), my IEMs just weren’t quite satisfying me anymore. Prioritizing soundstage and dynamics, I researched a lot but decided to buy and compare the following: 1. simgot et142 (about $300 CAD) 2. ziigaat estrella (about $400 CAD) 3. mangird tea pros (about $500 CAD) I went into this thinking I was going to like the estrellas the most just based on what I read. But out of curiosity I ordered the et142s because I read that the simgot ea1000s were the soundstage champs for the price range, but they weren’t available and the et142s seem to kind of be the successor. I also ordered the Tea Pros because they are so universally lauded but haven’t received them yet. I’m glad I took the gamble on the simgot et142s though. After a couple of days A/Bing between them and the estrellas… I think they have the estrellas beat. They have better soundstage, better dynamics, and they are somehow both more revealing in the top end but also warmer and with more heft in the low mids. With that being said they are more similar than not (surprising to me), but every time I go from the et142 to the estrella, the main impression I consistently get is that the estrella sounds very close, but it’s just “thinner”. I should mention that I’m gain-matching them to rule out volume change bias, so the thinness isn’t just lower volume. I’ve seen a lot of discussion on the estrellas but very little on the et142s. I unfortunately haven’t heard the very popular ea1000s so I can’t say if they truly are the successors to that line, but regardless I am kind of blown away. I had zero expectations of them winning my A/B test, and I still want to do further comparisons on more tracks, but so far they are the underdog winners here. Looking forward to comparing them to the Tea Pros when those arrive. For reference I am testing the et142s with the burnished purple/blue filters that were installed on them in the box (haven’t even tried the other filters yet yet) and the black ear tips they came with, plus stock cable. I put an upgraded cable on the estrellas and switched to some dunu tips that sounded best with them. Testing both with the qudelix 5k. Both with and without some custom eqs I’ve made to match them both to my preferred sound signature. The et142s are winning for me both in the EQd and raw non-EQd comparisons. Anybody else have similar experiences with the simgot et142s? Seeing very little discussion on them. Are these largely being slept on due to lack of discussion? They have really defied my expectations so far!

Thank-you for confirming my thoughts and for the explanation regarding the middling reviews and general lack of discussion as opposed to the larger amount of discussion and hype around the estrellas. Not that the estrellas are bad, but I just didn’t expect the cheaper set to sound better (especially with stock cable/tips). I’m not super well versed with iems, but as an audio engineer and music producer I think I’m generally pretty good at being critical of sound. I was starting to wonder if anyone else felt the same or if I was just out to lunch however haha. Appreciate your feeback!

... I add aful permormer 5+2 , ziigaat estrella ( ... but check his spicy treble region ) ,dunu davinci , moondrop dusk

I already bought the estrella. On the most recent video from hangout audio, he says the cincontress has more mid bass and feels more bassy if I remember correctly and in the comments someone said that the doscinco had a retune after the lunch, so went for the estrella. Deuce is on my radar too, I will probably get it after it comes out of preorder

2024 was an exciting year for me and all fellow audiophiles. So many great IEMs with unimaginable value. Here are 8 of my favorite sets from my ~15 sets collection. Right to left, top to bottom: ISN EBC80, HiSenior Mega5EST Bass + (custom design), Tangzu Zhu Bajie, Kiwi Ears Punch, Xenns Mangird Tea Pro, DUNU DaVinci, Ziigaat Estrella, AFUL Performer 5+2 Honorable mention: AFUL Explorer (best first IEM IMO), Ziigaat Arete (best gaming IEM IMO), Simgot Supermix 4 (best all-rounder IMO). I'm excited for what 2025 will bring us. Hopefully better sets with lower prices.

Mega5EST Bass+, Punch, and Estrella. I've been repeating GNX with these sets for a while and that were some addicting experience.
