Very, very solid IEM. Excellent bass response and a well done warm neutral tuning. Great techs for the price. Large stage that is deep and wide. Great separation and imaging. Treble is a bit elevated but tastefully so (those that prefer darker IEMs may want to try first). Timbre is decent - while not all instruments and vocals sound natural, they don't sound completely off. Great candidate for "one-and-done" IEM. If you only want one IEM and have $399 you should seriously consider this one. Loaner

One of the best all-rounders under $600 (v-shaped harman). Treble quality is smooth and well extended. Great low-end texture with lots of impact. Good vocals. Solid tech, and just solid in general.

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.

Clean V-Shaped set, with good technical performance, and smooth, luscious bass that seems to float in the mix. Unfortunately has spicy air treble (tip rolling necessary), but otherwise is a very engaging and good set.

Pros
The bass quality is great. Bass texture is phenomenal. Sounds like a sub in a large room. Other than that, the set has decent tech, soundstage, and overall tuning. Very good build quality. For bassheads.
Cons
Bass can bleed slightly into mids. Air frequencies can be extremely distracting, so tip rolling is a must, especially due to the strange and extremely large fit. Pinna gain at 3khz can be too forward for some users. Imaging + separation ≈ 200$ set worth.
