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

Letshuoer S12 Ultra (2025) against ZIIGAAT x Jays Audio ESTRELLA (2024). 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

Letshuoer S12 Ultra

The Letshuoer S12 Ultra is a wired in-ear monitor built around a single 14.8mm planar magnetic driver housed in a lightweight aluminum shell. It delivers the signature planar sound of the S12 line—fast, detailed, and punchy—in a refreshed design aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts. With a low 16-ohm impedance, it pairs easily with most sources, though it lacks any active noise cancellation.

  • Pro:Fast, detailed planar sound with strong dynamics
  • Pro:Lightweight and sturdy aluminum-alloy build
  • Pro:Easy to drive thanks to low impedance
  • Con:No noise cancellation or isolation features
  • Con:Planar timbre may not suit all listeners
  • Con:Cable and accessories are basic for the price

ZIIGAAT x Jays Audio ESTRELLA

The ESTRELLA is a wired, six-driver hybrid in-ear monitor that pairs two coaxial 10 mm PET dynamic drivers with four balanced-armature drivers per side. Its tuning emphasizes a potent, deep sub-bass response, making it a strong choice for bass enthusiasts who want a lively, energetic sound signature. No active noise cancellation is included, so it relies on passive isolation from the ear tips.

  • Pro:Rich, powerful sub-bass with strong impact
  • Pro:Hybrid driver setup delivers detailed treble and mids
  • Pro:Good value for a six-driver configuration at this price
  • Con:High sensitivity (7 ohms) may require a quality source to avoid hiss
  • Con:No ANC or wireless functionality
  • Con:Bass-forward tuning may not suit purists seeking neutrality
