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?
The Ziigaat Horizon is 3 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 3 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
Xenns Mangird Top
The Xenns Mangird Top is a wired, hybrid in-ear monitor that pairs a 10 mm beryllium-coated dynamic driver with eight balanced-armature drivers for a detailed, audiophile-focused sound. It delivers a rich, layered presentation suited for critical listening, though it lacks any active noise cancellation. Priced around $530, it targets enthusiasts seeking a balanced yet engaging tuning.
- Pro:Excellent driver configuration with rich detail retrieval
- Pro:Warm, natural midrange with good vocal presence
- Pro:Solid build quality and comfortable fit for long sessions
- Con:No active noise cancellation, so isolation relies on tips
- Con:May require a good source or amplifier to shine
- Con:Price point may be steep for casual listeners
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
