The Jays Audio x ZiiGaat Estrella delivers a thrilling V-shaped signature that prioritizes fun and engagement. Its standout feature is the commanding sub-bass, powered by dual dynamic drivers, which delivers seismic rumble and physical impact without bleeding into the mids—perfect for bass enthusiasts seeking both power and control. Mids remain clear and forward enough for vocals to cut through, though they occasionally take a backseat to the low-end spectacle, leaning toward a warm, lush presentation.

Treble shines with energetic sparkle and strong extension, enhancing micro-details and air, though its peakiness can induce fatigue in longer sessions or with bright tracks. Technically, the Estrella impresses at its price with expansive soundstage width, precise imaging, and detail retrieval rivaling costlier models, though timbre can occasionally skew artificial in complex passages. The lightweight resin shells ensure comfort, but the accessory package disappoints—the flimsy stock cable and mediocre tips demand aftermarket upgrades.

The TANCHJIM x Effect Audio Force employs a dual dynamic driver configuration, pairing a 10mm titanium-coated bass driver with an 8.2mm beryllium-coated mid-high driver. This setup, managed through Tanchjim's HPFD-Seg crossover technology, aims for cohesive integration, delivering impactful low-end while maintaining clarity in vocals and treble. The notable open-back design incorporates a pressure-relief nozzle to minimize listening fatigue, though isolation remains surprisingly effective despite the acoustic vents.

Tonally, the Force leans toward a balanced signature with a mild bass emphasis, avoiding excessive warmth while retaining texture in kick drums and basslines. Treble extension is smooth and non-fatiguing, though some may find airiness slightly reserved compared to brighter tunings. The standout inclusion is the Type-C DSP cable, enabling deep customization via Tanchjim's app—including parametric EQ and Harman target presets—which significantly refines the stock tuning for personal preference.

Technically, the open-back architecture contributes to an expansive soundstage with precise imaging, excelling in complex tracks where instrument separation matters. While dynamics are competent, micro-detail retrieval doesn’t quite match elite hybrid or EST-equipped IEMs in its price tier. The co-engineered Effect Audio cable and ergonomic resin shells ensure long-wearing comfort, rounding out a package that prioritizes refinement over raw resolution.

Probably the most detailed and technical IEM around $300. You pay for the detail with a fatiguing, sharp treble presentation. Looks and sounds great, IF you can handle it. Accessories are a straight up dissapointment.

A little bit overcooked. It is certainly not a bad IEM. It does a good job in give you a lot of bass and a lot of physicality in the bass and not compromising in separation and imaging.

Mid-forward, neutral-bass sound signature. Not very versatile across genres. Clean mids and forward vocals. Light bass impact, upper mids can get intense, and average detail.
