Yes, it's expensive for a single DD imaging and separation is top tier with very good layering - frankly, I haven't heard many sets near this price that have done the same. There is a bit of subbass roll off but midbass hits hard. It's on the brighter side but never becomes shouty or sibilant. Timbre is good with vocals a bit forward in the mix. Tuning nozzles are a gimmick - they all sound the same. A better Kato in every way. I had a lot of trouble with fit on with this set - did not have the same problem with Hana 2021.

Smooth, detailed, and vocal-centric sound. Cohesive, vocal-focused tuning with dynamic bass, smooth extended treble, and excellent detail. Could use more sub-bass.

Just buy Fission. A cleaner/less warm LM, smoother EA1000 (fermats a little more resolving), very balanced, clean, and neutral sound. Very tough competition.

Japanese flavor of tuning (mid-bass and upper-mid focus) finally done justice. Strong technical chops and slightly forward.

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.

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.
