ZiiGaat Crescent – Big bass, smooth treble, and pure musicality
The ZiiGaat Crescent comes in the great new ZiiGaat packaging like the Luna. I’m very impressed with the inclusions for their price point, with the eartips (two different silicone types and one pair of foam), cable with 3.5mm and 4.4mm termination options, and case all of great quality. As with the Luna I used the…

ZiiGaat Luna – Balanced brilliance under $400 that you’ll be over the moon about
The Luna arrives in new ZiiGaat packaging, I quite liked their old packaging however this is a clear improvement. You get the IEMs (surprise :)), a new, slightly larger, carrying case, two sets of silicone tips which are more premium than the older style, one pair of foam tips, and finally a cable which gives you…

The musically analytical ZiiGaat Arcanis
ZiiGaat have been on a role recently, they’ve had a lot of great releases, each one catering to a different preference. The Arcanis follows on this recent trend for ZiiGaat, with another cracking set, this one leaning a little brighter and leaner but delivering fantastic detail. Let’s get into it. The Arcanis comes in the…

Punch Audio Martilo – A Basshead I Can Listen to All Day
I was excited when Linsoul reached out to see if I would be interested in trying out the Martilo. While I don’t always want a basshead set, I do have the Scarlet Mini, which gets brought out quite often when I want that sound—but it can be a bit much sometimes. What did Punch Audio…

Étude – Kiwi Ears Gets Physical
Kiwi Ears have had a raft of releases recently, the latest one I have here is their Étude, which has a Beryllium DD + 3BA + Vibration Transducer. I’ve tried some bone conductor IEM’s in the past so have a decent idea what to expect, the biggest difference here is the price. The Étude comes…

Wood You Believe It? Twistura’s DD Stands Tall
When I was asked if I’d like to review this one, I jumped at the opportunity. I love single DD’s and the cohesive sound they bring so couldn’t wait to try this one out. The Twistura WoodNote uses a wood diaphragm (10mm), in a dual chamber config. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a wood…

JUZEAR x Z Reviews Defiant – Groove Mode: Engaged
The Defiant comes in cheaper than my usual price point, however for its inclusions and sound you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s more expensive than it is. Let’s get into it! Build & Accessories:The Defiant arrived in a really nice box. The packaging includes the IEMs (surprise), a modular cable with both 3.5mm and…

250 sets in… and the Kiwi Ears Septet still surprised and delighted me
What an intriguing set! I’ve had open TWS before, but I don’t think I’ve had an open IEM, at least nothing memorable. In my headphone stable I have many, many open sets so was looking forward to how this would translate, and if some of the upsides (and downsides) of open sets would come with…

Kiwi Ears Astral – Reaching for the Stars
Thanks for the Linsoul for the opportunity to listen to the Astral. All thoughts are my own as always. I do these reviews in the hopes that it helps someone find an IEM that they love. I have many IEMs and Headphones (collectively nearly 250 now), and have had the opportunity to try many more.…

ZiiGaat Lush
A step away from the ordinary Thanks to Linsoul for the chance to review these. All thoughts are my own and not influenced in anyway. ZiiGaat have been making waves in the IEM sea for the past year, I’ve been a big fan of their other models (I own most of them) so was excited…
