ZiiGaat IEMs discussion thread

I have the Dos cinco, and im kind of disapointed, using velvet tips, they are boomier and have better bass then my SR5, but in everything else, stage, detail, treble, vocals. the SR5 just destroys them,

and the SR5 is 100 bucks less.

Only when using the Fiio HS20 the Doscinco and Cincotres came to live, sounding from a 100,- IEM to a 500,- IEM! I strongly recommend buying a set, compared to Azla or Spinfit they are not that expensive. You can thank me later !

for now, tested it with the Tengzu and Velvet tips, also some complys.

that looks about right:

Doscinco probably not the right choice if you're into the SR5 tuning style. the bass, the 1khz bump and the treble peak kinda makes these opposites.

if you're still tinkering with the Dos, I'd rec wide bore tips or a TWS style where it can be flush with the nozzle for Doscinco, shorter the better should help open up the treble and reduce the (comparative) bass bloat a bit.

Divinus Velvet Wide Bore and Eletech Baroque are probably my best performing tips for Dos. followed up by the longer wide-bore types like TRI Clarion / Feaulle H570 / AZLA SednaEarfit (not the azla xelastec or anything fancy)

i have some random TWS tips that sit flush on my Dos but it actually gives me too much treble spice

 

[Aevum]

maybe i should put the dos cinco on the chopping block and try to get some of my cash back.

Or try the hs20 for 12,- euro

Try the Eletech Baroque or Tri Clarion on it. In fact, these headphones naturally have a great bass presence that can mask their resolution.

I need Arcadia and Odesey reviews so I can order them. Ordering blind is to much risk because you can’t return them.

Being a star contender on its own, the Ziigaat x Jays Estrella could have gone without the overhype and that talked-about tape mod. A versatile, balanced set that is engaging for long listening sessions. No specific trait stands out but the sum of its parts create a musical experience deserving of its own shine. It does not outright compete in the kilobuck league nor outshine those in the $500 all-stars. But it does sound as a solid, shining performer in its tier, more than just another option but as a consideration for your only $300 level set if it was not for the lack of extras. Still an exemplary sounding set. Check out my full review of this special set - https://www.ziigaat.com/products/ziigaat-x-jays-audio-estrella

Compared to the Doscinco and Cincotres they were to bright for me.
Ordered the Arcadia and Odessey (pre order 2-4 weeks) a couple of days ago. Linsoul already send them

 

[passie42]

I just received the Odessey and Arcadia and both of them are better than the Doscinco and Cincotres IMHO. The bass both IEM’s have is amazing. No studio monitors but fun, really fun. I am really going to enjoy both of them so much that I put my Cincotres up for sale.
I changed the stock cable (please Ziigaat, give your IEM’s the cables they deserve) to NiceHCK Season and the tips (same story goes for the tips Ziigaat) for the Fiio HS20 and they sound great.
I am curious how they will stand up against the Fatfreq Deuce which supposedly will arrive next week (after almost 4 months, never buy directly from Fatfreq!).
For now I am going to enjoy these gemsView attachment IMG_3752.jpeg

the "topology" dd diaphragm sounds interesting, but also review saying it's a bit of a "faster" bass than I'd care for (coming from fh3 beryllium coated dd to doscinco, faster can miss some satisfaction)

 

[jbfps116]

Oh boy… with the coupon I can get the Estrella for around $200 on Linsoul or the Arcadia for 150$. How to choose????

Balanced with airy treble and great technicality, nice mid bass, the Estrella. Jay did a amazing job on this one.
Less airy but still detailed treble, very addicting bass a a little (nitpicking really) bleed to the mids, detailed but more emphasis on fun then go for the Arcadia. For the 50 bucks go get some dinner or spend it on the Artti T10 and get ready for some amazing listening sessions.
You could also buy the SnowCat cable or the MeetEva both from NiceHCK replacing the crappy Ziigaat cable. The MeetEva has a amazing discount on 11/11, from 115,- to 41,- !!

Hi all. Just published a review of the ZiiGaat xHBB Arcadia

https://www.headphoneer.com/ziigaat-x-hbb-arcadia-review-lush-smooth-and-bassy/

 

[earlybirdthr33]

It is possible HBB collabs, and Ziigaat releases have reached saturaion levels. The Hades, was looked down on, The Fat Freq x HBB Deuce back-order fiasco has settled? I think that would still be a basshead set to get. Ziigaat X HBB Arcadia? Meh. Kiwi Ears x HBB Punch spendy, looks promising though. Does the expensive Dynamic Driver from the Ziigaat x HBB Jupiter get put in the Arcadia's or the Punch?
