ZiiGaat - Estrella

I would say the ZiiGaat Estrella or the Xenns Tea Pro

Zigaat Estrella or Zigaat Cincotres Estrella for me vs Hype 4, the Estrella has punchier mid bass and more treble extension

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

I love the Estrella they are just amazing me. They seem to be made for my ears. No driver flex at all, the tips work perfectly, they block out more outside noise than any other IEM I've tried. As for the tape mod what I had on hand is Band-Aid flexible fabric. The small ones blocked too much but the medium worked a charm. Cut a small enough to cover the vent hit it with a black marker and you can barely notice it. :) You can't do anything with the cord but put it away and never look at it again Artti Wave 8 is black flexible and works great. As I can't see myself spending more on a IEM these are likely my end game IEM.

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.

I'm pretty sure u never listen to Estrella more than 5mins if this is the impression left in your ears.. Or have a checkup on your ears..

I ordered the yongse venom because I thought it would be a good pairing with the Estrella and then I stumble upon your review today and see it paired with the exact iem I got it for and I have to say they look fantastic together so that makes me excited! Also I'd have to agree in my limited testing I'm really loving the sound of these so far!

How is heavier mid-bass, warmer lower mids, tamer ear gain, and more extended treble than Harman considered Harman? I've A/Bed the Estrella with my Supermix 4, which is almost dead-on Harman, and I can tell you that they sound nothing alike. Estrella is thicker, warmer, and more bodied, while the Supermix 4 is thinner and leaner. The only area that they're somewhat comparable is in the air region, where both are very well-extended and open sounding.

38. I want to iterate that although there is a change in flavour of the sound of the Estrella specially when compared to other iems, The change is subtle and it shouldn’t be a top priority when considering to buy the Estrella. 39. Now coming to the tape mods. Well to be honest I actually didn’t like the clear tape mod that much, because there is this peak of treble which becomes more apparent to me and I don’t personally like it. Also the soundstage seems a bit more cramped here which I am not a big fan of too. 40. But for people who likes more neutral sound this would be a nice addition as the Sub bass reduction and it being more aligned with the mid bass does sound nice in many classical songs and some vocal heavy J pop songs. The mids sound even more livelier and the treble flexes its muscles even better and they sound very sparkly. But again with this mod the treble could bit a fatiguing for some treble sensitive folks out there, specially at higher volumes. 41. There is one more mod you can do, which is the micropore tape mod. It lands somewhere in between the normal sound and the complete tape mode. 42. With this the overall bass is tad bit lower the stock tuning, but what this does is it also lowers the mid bass. It sounds a bit harmany for my taste. Although it still sounds good, I prefer the stock sound over this in my opinion. 43. So if you get the Estrella do try these two tape mods, one good thing is they aren’t permanent. Also please do try atleast different tips as the tips are essential for a proper fit. If you have access to different source please do try them and see which you like. 44. Some comparison to different iem 45. v/s S15 – It’s a bit difficult, the S15 is something unique of an iem. Not many people like it but I really like it as it’s a great everyday iem for comfort and also the overall tuning is very chill and sort of an all rounder so works great for background listening. The Estrella has more punch more contrast between the bass and the treble which makes it more exciting, but that also means it isn’t suited for some genres. Where the S15 beats the Estrella is the S15 is a fantastic low volume set while the Estrella needs to be played at higher volumes. 44. v/s Cadenza 4 – The cadenza 4 was overlooked by many, it’s a very good neutral sounding iem with a focus on upper mids. The comfort and the fit of the cadenza 4 is unmatched. The Estrella can be seen as the anti-cadenza 4. So it depends on what kind of tuning you like. 45. v/s EM10 – The EM10 is harman supercharged, with copious amount of bass and quite a bit of upper mids while the treble being quite mellowed out. It’s a great iem for those who want super fun sounding iem and a lot of bass, but the lack of mid bass in the EM10 is a bit meh for some songs. The Estrella in my opinion performs better than the $450 Em10 for most genres, but the bass quality specially the sub-bass is better in the EM10. Also treble sensitive people and people who listens at low volume mostly will prefer the EM10 over the estrella 46. By the Way EM10 is a personal unit I bought with my own money, shall I make a review of it? I don’t plan on making a review of it if you want me to do comment below I will make a review on it. 47. Well overall I really like the Estrella. It certainly does have some drawbacks like I mentioned, like the serious amount of driver flex I get everytime I wear them or it being very tip dependant or the meh cable at $299 price point or also the flavour of the sound changing depending on the type of source flavour. 48. A con which I forgot to mention is that the Estrella does seem like a high volume set. As someone who is a low volume listener this was a bit disappointing, as I very rarely do loud volume music sessions. 48. Even after all these cons I mentioned I think so the Estrella is fantastic iem, its my favourite iem now period! Because for the genres of music I listen to this performs really well. And as someone who loves a good wide soundstage the Estrella is always something I would pick. 49. I suggest the tangzu sancai wide bore tips, velvet wide bore tips and some micropore and normal tape. And try them with different combinations to see if they fit well. 50. Jay and Ziigaat has a done really good job with the sound here, I just wish there was less driver flex everytime I insert the iem T_T 51.

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.

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..

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.

You might want to check out the Oriveti OH700VB, I bought it on sale for less than $600. If not I would recommend the Thieaudio Oracle mk3, Simgot EM10, Letshuoer EJO7M or Ziigaat Cincotres or Estrella.

I own all of them except for the Oracle, but I've heard great things about them and Thieaudio are usually tuned well. The OH700VB is going to be what they are calling the New Meta tuning which has a relaxed penna gain and the switches control the bass levels. The Letshuoer EJO7M is probably going to be the most detailed and have less bass then the other sets. The Ziigaat Cincotres is tuned very similar to the Moondrop Variations. The Ziigaat Estrella is my favorite and has deep subbass rumble with tamer mid-bass, the mids are clean and detailed and the treble is airy and well extended. I don't listen to much Classical, most of my library is Jazz, Rock and R&B.

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.

Great review, the Estrella is my current favorite IEM and I own several TOTL sets. I personally haven't experienced any driver flex, but I know some people have had this problem. In totality this set checks all the boxes for me. By the way I use Penon Liqueur Orange eartips they work well for me.

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.

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.

I also own the EW300 DSP and the two don't compare as far as I'm concerned, the Estrella has huge subbass also too much as it distracts from the rest of the music, which is why I use a tape mod. I put a 2.5mm 650 cotton mesh filter over the vent. It will shift the sub base to the mids base and make the mids have more note weight.

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.

To me they have alot more subbass and less mid bass. The mids on the Hype 4 have more note weight but aren't as detailed. The Estrella treble is airy and well extended. I would highly recommend a 2.5mm 650 cotton mesh filter over the vent, this will help shift the bass from the sub to the mid-bass giving the mids more note weight. There seems to be QC problems with some of the Estrella, people have mentioned that it sounds kind of flat or boring and some other have a problem with driver flex. I would suggest if you have either problem return them. Probably best to purchase them from Amazon if possible.

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.

I personally love the Ziigaat Estrella they have a wide and deep soundstage with fantastic detail retrieval. I'd recommend the medical tape mod.

The are very easy to drive, I normally use them with my ifi Go Pods or KZ AE01.

I personally have not heard the Oracle mk3 but most Thieaudio IEMs are great sounding. I do own over 200 sets including the MEST mk2, Monarch mk3, Oriveti OH700VB, Yanyin Mahina, Letshuoer EJO7M and the Canpur CP622B all that to say the Ziigaat Estrella is currently my favorite set. The OH700VB is often on sale and may fit your needs.

It's the perfect combination for me. The bass is deep and impactful, the mids are clean and detailed and the treble is airy and extended. It has excellent separation and a holographic soundstage

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 would avoid the Estrella it's kind of just a middling iem resolution wise and its just stock Harman. You can buy truthear zero and have almost the same package

... 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.
