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 x Z Reviews SA6 Ultra

This limited-edition wired IEM from DUNU and Z Reviews is a retuned, upgraded take on the SA6, packing six balanced-armature drivers per side for a detailed, audiophile-focused sound. It connects via a standard 0.78 mm 2-pin cable and offers no active noise cancellation, keeping things purely analog. Priced around $600, it’s aimed at listeners who want a refined, neutral-leaning tuning over extra features.

  • Pro:Detailed six-driver balanced-armature design
  • Pro:Upgraded tuning for audiophile clarity
  • Pro:Standard 0.78 mm 2-pin cable compatibility
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Limited-edition availability may be scarce
  • Con:Requires a good source to shine

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
