Ziigaat Lush VS Pula Unicrom

Youtube Video Summary

ZiiGaat Lush is a $179 1DD+4BA hybrid tuned in a studio or reference mold: slight bass lift, essentially unboosted treble, and very linear mids. The result is a flat, full, uncolored presentation that lets the balanced armatures show texture and resolve without the usual treble emphasis. Compared with typical $200 hybrids, it feels unique because nothing is exaggerated at either end; it aims to let the listener hear everything clean rather than add excitement.

Bass carries correct weight despite the small shelf, while a mild lower-mid dip can make low-volume listening feel lighter; raising volume restores body and balance. Male vocals in particular benefit, sounding natural and well weighted, and the treble stays relaxed and artifact-free for long sessions. Stage is not oversized but comes across clean, layered, and naturally sized with good separation.

As a musical all-rounder it is less compelling: those expecting bass slam or brilliant sparkle will find it restrained, and groove can feel muted versus mild V-shapes. It pairs best with low or near-zero output impedance sources to preserve the flat line, as small changes are audible on such a linear set. For listeners who want a neutral, mid-centric hybrid that behaves like a studio monitor, Lush delivers a clear, revealing take at this price.

The PULA Unicrom delivers a warm, smooth take on a bass-boosted Harman-ish tuning, wrapped in a very comfortable, lightweight shell. Its 10 mm beryllium-plated driver proves capable, giving the low end a surprisingly tight and controlled character with weight and body that feel natural for the price. Build and fit are a clear highlight, making long sessions easy.

This is aimed at listeners who prioritize the lower-end over air and sparkle. A roughly 10 dB bass shelf adds warmth but also masks upper harmonics, so vocal presence, room cues and reverb tails are softened; the result is a more intimate soundstage and less precise imaging. Those who chase “open” treble, airy detail or gaming positional cues will likely find the upper range too polite.

At its current sale price, Unicrom is a very nice value for a relaxed, body-forward signature and a quality shell. Consider it a “teaser” for stepping up to something like Volume S in the same flavor: if the tonality clicks, the upgrade path is obvious; if not, the limitations in presence and staging will be the deciding factor.

The Pula Unicrom offers a comfortable and well-built shell with clear left/right indicators and a swappable cable featuring a secure 4.4mm connector. It comes in four colors and includes a highly praised magnetic case considered excellent value. The cable itself is noted as one of the nicer options at this price point, though the lack of a USB-C option is a minor drawback.

Sonically, the Unicrom delivers a smooth, slightly bassy, and darkish signature with visceral, thick bass and rich, thick mids. Its upper mids are nice and not overly shouty or sibilant, resulting in a cohesive dynamic driver sound. While it lacks the absolute best detail, imaging, and air, it provides a fun and engaging listen, described as a strong V-shape. Graph comparisons show it shares similarities with the much more expensive Moondrop Dragon and the RT10 Pro, offering that kind of tonality at a significantly lower price. It faces stiff competition around $100, like the RT10 Pro and Letshuoer S08, but holds its own as a competent, colorized option.

Ultimately rated a solid B minus, the Unicrom earns a value star and a strong recommendation as a great all-rounder under $100. It's highlighted as a beautifully executed product with satisfying, rich mids and bass, making it a compelling choice for those seeking an organic, fun sound, especially as a gift. While the lower mid warmth might not suit everyone and detail seekers might prefer sets like the Hexa, the Unicrom stands out as a unique and interesting bassy dynamic driver option at its price.

At $80, the Pula Unicrom (aka “Unic”) is a 10 mm single dynamic IEM that keeps the box basic but surprises with a genuinely nice cable—tight weave, slick hardware, and a stealthy screw-on plug that feels finely machined. The shell finishes can be oddball, the naming is weirder, but in the ears it’s easy to drive and hassle-free; throw on preferred tips and it’s ready to go. Marketing quirks aside, build and usability punch well above the bracket.

Sound is the headline: a wide, relaxed soundstage that floats instruments around the head with real dynamics—swells hit hard, decays fall away cleanly, no shout or sting. Bass is warm and textured without bloat, mids stay clear and focused, and treble sprinkles detail instead of poking holes; it’s the rare “fixer IEM” that flatters rough recordings yet makes orchestral and soundtrack cues feel big. For the money it’s a no-brainer—fun, forgiving, cohesive—proof that a well-tuned single DD can still embarrass busier driver packs in this range.

Youtube Video Summary

Ziigaat Lush lands at $180 with a hybrid 1DD + 4BA setup and the brand’s familiar accessories: a slim case, silicone tips (S/M/L), and one foam pair. The cable is lightweight but tangly, and the all-plastic shells feel light yet a bit cheap. Fit is stable yet not ideal— the long nozzle can bottom out, tip selection becomes important, and there’s some driver flex. Aesthetics are decent, though the logo and overall build leave room for improvement.

Sonically, this is a “new meta” take: fuller lower mids, relaxed upper mids, and laid-back treble that can read a touch dark. The tonality is warm, smooth, and low-contrast; vocals sit a bit back and busy mixes can feel smoothed over. Treble avoids sharpness but can be inconsistent (sometimes blurred, sometimes a little chunky), and overall incisiveness depends heavily on tip choice. Bass isn’t overblown on the graph, yet comes across stronger in practice because the top end is subdued—impact is fine, definition is average. Imaging isn’t razor-sharp, though the stage can feel surprisingly wide.

Against peers, EPZ P50 sounds more contrasty with tighter bass, crisper treble, better imaging, and much better comfort. Kiwi Ears K4 brings more sparkle and sharper imaging (bass can dominate at times), again with superior fit. A cheaper alt, the AFUL Explorer, offers a similarly laid-back vibe with tighter bass, more consistent/airy treble, and an easier fit. Net: Lush is a pleasant, relaxed alternative for the treble-sensitive, but build and comfort hold it back. Rating: 3/5.

Youtube Video Summary

Ziigaat Lush lands as a cleaner, more airy and slightly more technical take on the Explore. The overall tuning is balanced, smooth, and full with a hint of air; vocals sit a touch laid-back in the mix with thicker male timbre, making it an easy, fatigue-free listen. At mid–low volumes it’s a relaxing, non-intrusive “background” set; turn it up and the Lush scales, opening the stage, popping vocals forward, adding extension and low-end impact. Cymbals read clear and lightly airy without sting, though snares can get a bit sharp on certain tracks and ultra-energetic genres won’t be its strong suit.

Technical gains over the Explore are real but modest—this isn’t a technical/value monster at the price. Bass quality is adequate rather than tactile: tighter and less warm than Explore with lower quantity, engaging when loud but bass-light at moderate levels, so not the first pick for sub-bass-centric hip-hop/EDM. Where it shines is at higher volumes with rock, metal, and R&B: natural timbre, good separation, and a smooth, immersive cruise rather than a high-contrast thrill ride.

Against peers, Lush sounds cleaner, more open and better balanced than Letshuoer S08; sets like Supermix 4, Nova, A30, Chopin are more resolving and lively at mid-volumes, while P50 and Cadenza 4 push vocals more forward. Treble-tilted options (Meta, ET142) are sparklier but less natural in timbre. Timeless 2 and Tanchjim Origin share the smooth/neutral vibe yet don’t scale like Lush. Versus its siblings, Odyssey is the more dynamic, V-leaning extrovert; Arcanis is a clear step up in resolution and vocal prowess. At ~$180 the cable/packaging underwhelm and it’s not a slam-dunk value, but as a smooth, immersive, volume-scaling upgrade for Explore/S08 fans, Lush hits its niche; if a chill mid-volume set is all that’s needed, cheaper options like EW300 DSP—or even Explore—make more sense.

Youtube Video Summary

The Ziigaat Arcanis and Lush IEMs offer distinct flavors at their price points, both featuring resin builds with eye-catching faceplates—sparkly green for the Arcanis and silver-black for the Lush. Fit is familiar to other Ziigaat models, and accessories include a basic cable, ear tips, and carrying pouch. Sonically, the Arcanis delivers a holographic, punchy presentation with emphasized sub-bass and upper mids, making footsteps, slides, and distant gunfire pop with urgency. The Lush leans darker and smoother, relaxing upper mids to tame gunfire harshness while maintaining clean bass and excellent separation.

For gaming, performance varies by title. In Valorant and CS2, the Lush shines with precise imaging and a smoother, fatigue-free experience—gunfire feels controlled without sacrificing detail. The Arcanis excels in COD, where its aggressive tuning highlights critical cues like footsteps and slides with greater potency. However, in Apex Legends, the Lush’s relaxed profile struggles with subtle audio cues (e.g., light taps or shield cells), earning a B rating. The Arcanis fares better (B+) with superior depth reads and emphasis on environmental sounds, though complex fights can overwhelm its separation compared to top-tier sets like the Mangird Tea Pro.

Ultimately, the Arcanis is a versatile all-rounder, slightly favored for both music and most gaming scenarios. The Lush carves a niche for smooth, non-fatiguing sessions in Valorant/CS2, filling a unique spot in Ziigaat’s lineup. Both IEMs offer exceptional resolution and layering for their prices, but the choice hinges on preference: the Arcanis for its energetic clarity, or the Lush for its refined, relaxed signature.

Youtube Video Summary

The Pula Unicrom is a sub 100 dollar single dynamic driver set that pairs a compact resin shell and stabilized wood faceplates with a very comfortable fit and a soft modular cable that feels unusually premium for the price. Build quality and accessories feel well considered, with the lightweight shells sitting securely in the ear and the cable remaining tangle resistant and easy to handle.

Tuning follows a mild V shape that still comes across as fairly balanced, with bass sitting above neutral and leaning toward midbass emphasis that adds warmth and note weight to male vocals and instruments. There is some bass bleed into the lower mids and sub bass could be slightly more pronounced, but overall bass quality, dynamics and texture are solid for the price, and the midrange keeps decent clarity with natural timbre and lively yet controlled upper mids that give vocals good presence without crossing into shoutiness.

The treble response brings more upper treble energy than some direct competitors, adding air and micro detail while still sounding smooth and natural, which helps the Unicrom feel engaging and open. Technicalities are roughly average for the bracket, with a soundstage that is not very deep but supported by respectable layering, separation and detail that hold their own against other favorites around this price point. It may not quite reach personal benchmarks like Deli AE at the very top of the class, but it sits very close and earns a clear recommendation as a versatile budget option and a strong starting point in the hobby.
