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 Odyssey (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 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

Ziigaat Odyssey

The Ziigaat Odyssey is a wired hybrid in-ear monitor that delivers a balanced, easy-listening sound with a clean low end, smooth mids, and a subdued top end that keeps long sessions comfortable. It trades some energy and micro-detail for a forgiving presentation, though its stage feels a bit confined and its treble lacks air. A solid mid-range pick for those who prefer a relaxed, non-fatiguing tuning over outright technical prowess.

  • Pro:Smooth, fatigue-free treble
  • Pro:Clean and controlled bass
  • Pro:Natural, non-offensive midrange
  • Con:Limited treble sparkle and extension
  • Con:Average resolution for the price
  • Con:Soundstage feels narrow and intimate
