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

EPZ P40 (2026) against Ziigaat Lush (2025). These are 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.

What reviewers said

EPZ P40

The EPZ P40 is a wired tribrid IEM that delivers a clean, technically strong sound with excellent midrange presence, controlled bass, and precise imaging for its price. While it shines in resolution and transparency, its tuning can feel sharp or cold to some ears, and it falls just short of class-leading treble refinement. Overall, it's a compelling option under $200 for listeners who value clarity and detail over warmth.

  • Pro:Excellent midrange clarity and vocal presence
  • Pro:Tight, well-defined bass response
  • Pro:Strong technical performance with precise imaging
  • Con:Treble lacks some extension and refinement
  • Con:Tuning may come across as sharp or shouty
  • Con:Limited included eartips

Ziigaat Lush

The Ziigaat Lush is a wired hybrid IEM with a neutral, reference-style tuning that prioritizes accuracy and balance over excitement. Its smooth, non-fatiguing treble and clean mids make it well-suited for critical listening and studio work, though its restrained character and average accessories may not appeal to those seeking a more dynamic sound.

  • Pro:Neutral, reference-style tuning
  • Pro:Smooth and non-fatiguing treble
  • Pro:Clean mids with good bass-to-midrange integration
  • Con:Restrained sound lacks excitement
  • Con:Accessories feel below par for the price
  • Con:Driver flex reported
