I already know the difference between "a quick one" and "take a look" 😂. Cheers! I'm still waiting for someone come up with something similar but with less bass.
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
Yep, I'd be ok with less bass and these drivers.
@TheRebelLion1319 сағат бұрын
i think that's one of the signatures of an HBB tuned set, it's meant to be played loud.
@benmacdhuiКүн бұрын
Cheers for this Paul 👍🏻 As a low pinna fan/Loud volume listener, Arcadia is likely my next set
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
I'd say the fit makes a difference also, kinda why I said deeper. Shallow fit sounded less low pinna. Took me a bit to find tips where it sounded right.
@benmacdhuiКүн бұрын
@@PaulWasabii Cheers that's good to know. Lately it seems best with every new set, first thing is to go through my tip collection in order to find that right "marriage" to maximize synergy with said IEM

Thanks Paul, for the excellent review. I'd be inclined to get this set in the closer to $120 range, but very interesting set for sure. Sets that can be enjoyed for hours without fatigue are the best. 👌 BTWz I subbed the flipped KZ Starline for the extra large Dunu S+S tips when there's fit issues. Very similar...

Ordered just yesterday, about 16 hours before your review dropped and love seeing you cover this set as there aren’t enough reviews out there and I mostly bought blind on HBB’s reputation alone :)
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
Yeah its a cool set. My advice is to play with tips if it sounds weird. The stock tips didn't work for me, but it should sound like an HBB set.
@trellusgКүн бұрын
@ I watch a lot of your videos, thanks for the tip on the tips 🙂 … funny thing is, I didn’t use the stock tips on the Estrella, either, because I saw reviews mentioning that other tips worked better for that set, so I’m using the Divinus Velvet wide bore silicone tips for Estrella…
@3ildcardКүн бұрын
ZiiGaat really be pumping : +1 driver, -1 driver, slightly different graphs of the same IEM. What a marketing tactic. Unfortunately, i just got my Estrellas and couldn't listen to them for more than 30 min because of awful driver flex in the left earphone. Contacted Linsoul and they told me to...swap the cable and record the issue? Man, i wish they had ANY QC as after a quick googling, many seem to have driver flex with Ziigaat stuff. First time having driver flex and it is on the most expensive iem i've bought so far, what a luck.

Another IEM that doesn't mess up the treble when you turn up the volume is the Aful Explorer, one of my favorites.
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
Yep, haven't heard Explorer but same idea. People look for these sets for that reason.
@KmtS9Күн бұрын
Essentially JM-1 but tilted even further clockwise. Tempted as this is the same price as the KE-4. Looking forward to your Odyssey review.
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
Yep, I am not exactly sure how well it aligns as my graph is funky. I like everyone else's graph more than mine. But the idea is right on.
@KmtS922 сағат бұрын
@PaulWasabii seems to be a similar bass profile and overall tilt, but with the pinna pulled down as per Chris' preferences. So really good release imho, since, as you said, a relatively unique approach to the JM-1 target. They priced it quite well, too! Now i'm just waiting for this to come down to the $100 range. Fingers crossed the Hexa 2 delivers this 😅

I wish, not sure that is going to happen. I think that is closer to other sets so was glad to get this one actually.

Someone needs to make a round up and comparison of all the Ziigaat hybrids. Too similar on paper and close on price to make decision.
@misterfinerthingsКүн бұрын
Nice review Paul. I think the Odyssey is the other type of bass you were describing. It's very tight and clean. Maybe even a little too much, as I find it to be a little plucky. Hope you get to try that set!
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
Probably and they added a BA too. I think Ziigaat has hit a decent recipe on their driver choices and tuning.
@Hijynx87Күн бұрын
I heard it's like the Aful Explorer, graph looks similar at least.
@IderuShikesuКүн бұрын
Iirc, most reviewer compare the explorer more to Odyssey
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
From the descriptions, I would think that also. The other comment says odyssey. Maybe its between the two.

Can you please do a review of the Yu9 Audio Yan? Some are saying it's the new best deal around 100$, but there's only one review here on yt.
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
Just looking at their graph, too much ear gain and then it drops off quickly. Probably nice on vocals but the rest is iffy. I wouldn't pay $116 for it.

Anyone know where to get a 10 ohm adapter outside of dropping $50~ in the Truthear red? Can't seem to find any in Ali or amazon

Looks like an overly bassy version of Butterfly 61T, at least by graph.
@Hijynx87Күн бұрын
hmm, idk it looks pretty similar to me. You must be looking at the impedance adapter graph.😊
@bunjidoggКүн бұрын
@Hijynx87 But the 61T is not usually described as a bass-head type set.
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
Not quite. I would also look at other graphs, mine is a bit whacky on treble, it should downslope more.
@RKZX2Күн бұрын
So far, Saga bass is my fav. Yes. Even over Castor bass. Castor set 1,2 down 3,4 up is STILL too much bass for me.
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
Its all in the curve, the high point of Saga bass is way in the subbass where less music hits that low. Castor is elevated over a much wider range

As I said, if you prefer no midbass, super U shape, it isn't that. Doesn't make it a bloated mess though, just not your thing
