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 12 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 12 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said

Sony MH755

A tiny, wired single-dynamic-driver earphone that was originally packed in with Sony's Bluetooth adapters instead of being sold as a dedicated retail product. It targets budget-friendly, on-the-go listening with a simple, no-frills design.

  • Pro:Compact and lightweight build
  • Pro:Surprisingly good sound for the price
  • Pro:Easy to drive with any device
  • Con:Not sold as a standalone item in most stores
  • Con:No inline mic or remote
  • Con:Thin, fragile-looking cable

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
