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 5 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 5 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
Moondrop x Crinacle Blessing2:Dusk
This hybrid in-ear monitor combines a single dynamic driver with four balanced armatures to deliver a well-tuned, highly resolving sound that stands out in its price range. Its neutral-bright tuning and detailed presentation make it a strong performer, though the larger shell and slight metallic timbre from the BA drivers may not suit everyone. Overall, it's a compelling choice for listeners prioritizing accuracy and clarity over portability or ultimate comfort.
- Pro:Excellent tonal balance with a natural, neutral signature
- Pro:Impressive detail retrieval and resolution for the price
- Pro:Strong build quality with a durable, wired design
- Con:Large shell may be uncomfortable for smaller ears
- Con:Balanced armature drivers can exhibit a slight metallic timbre
- Con:No noise cancellation, limiting use in loud environments
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
