Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Ziigaat Horizon is 3 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price. For 3 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
DUNU Vulkan
The DUNU Vulkan is a hybrid wired IEM with a warm-neutral sound signature, offering a smooth and enjoyable listen rather than a technically dominant one. It features solid build quality, generous accessories, and a spacious soundstage, though its bass is slightly softened and treble can occasionally feel harsh. Overall, it presents good value for its price tier, but it does not stand out as a leader in resolution or absolute tonal accuracy.
- Pro:Warm-neutral tuning that is easy to like
- Pro:Impressive accessory package and build quality
- Pro:Good soundstage and imaging for the price
- Con:Bass lacks some punch and definition
- Con:Treble can be slightly harsh at times
- Con:Timbre may not suit acoustic music perfectly
Ziigaat Horizon
The Ziigaat Horizon is a wired tribrid IEM that delivers impressive technical performance for its price, featuring a spacious, holographic soundstage and strong detail retrieval. Its W-shaped tuning balances clarity and engagement, though its energetic treble and lighter bass impact may not suit everyone. While the sound quality is a standout, the build and accessories feel less premium than the audio performance.
- Pro:Excellent technical ability and detail retrieval
- Pro:Large, holographic soundstage with strong imaging
- Pro:Well-executed W-shaped tuning that balances fun and precision
- Con:Treble can become fatiguing or slightly sibilant for sensitive listeners
- Con:Mid-bass punch is limited, with bass more technical than physical
- Con:Build quality feels somewhat cheap for the price
