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

Ziigaat Horizon (2025) against Ziigaat Cincotres (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

Ziigaat Cincotres

The Ziigaat Cincotres is a wired hybrid in-ear monitor that leans toward a neutral, balanced sound signature, offering solid bass control and a spacious, well-separated presentation. It's positioned as a strong value pick for those seeking an engaging yet uncolored listening experience at a moderate price point.

  • Pro:Neutral-leaning tuning with firm bass response
  • Pro:Spacious soundstage and good instrument separation
  • Pro:Engaging yet not overly colored sound
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Low impedance may require a quality source
  • Con:Not for bass-heavy or warm-signature enthusiasts

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
