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 2 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.

What reviewers said

Hisenior Okavango

This wired hybrid IEM packs seven drivers into a compact shell, blending a dynamic driver with six balanced-armature units through a four-way crossover. It offers four adjustable tuning modes via a physical switch, making it adaptable for different listening preferences and stage-monitoring scenarios for performing musicians. The low impedance and high sensitivity ensure easy pairing with portable devices.

  • Pro:Versatile four-position tuning switch
  • Pro:Detailed and layered hybrid sound
  • Pro:Highly sensitive and easy to drive
  • Con:No noise cancellation
  • Con:Requires cable for use
  • Con:Tuning switch may be fiddly for some

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
