Your rating seems mind-bogglingly odd. I have both D41s and Estrellas, for which I personally thank Jay, I remember him standing at the machine all weekend. The difference between them is like night and day. Obviously, I just don't have good enough equipment or I'm not deaf enough. Because I'm surprised by your rating, to put it mildly. And dividing sound by money is generally funny. Are you sure you're reviewing hammers for driving nails?
I recently came back after a year of hiatus(read as a different hobby) i still know you from hbb discord. Glad you still doing reviews bud, keep up the good work👍 The Iem game sure got a lot more aggressive as i recall.
Thank you for the dope review man ✨ There's too much "all-rounders" right now so I wanted to go for something more exciting and unique When Estrella hits, it HITS
@@NelsonMichaelI grab my DaVinci most of the time as well with divinus wide bore tips. However, it’s large shell and wobbles when on the go. Looking for something similar but more compact, I might need to check out the s08 then.
I think the Doscincos are more your style. They actually replaced the Meteors as my #1 (and I think you might remember me commenting on this prior) and can be an all rounder. But I’m loving the Estrellas. The quality of the bass and treble, just sounds hi res with great details, imaging and layering. and the huge soundstage is impressive. I’m not sure what the reverse polarity does to the sound, but these sound very wide as well as tall. The treble is ethereal and above your head. It’s the new Sonion E50 super tweeters. They sound like ESTs and that’s why this iem sounds closer to some kilobuck sets. I agree with pretty much everything you said. These are like a special effect iem and great to add to a collection. But do try the Doscincos, nothing fatiguing yet engaging (bass hits a drop harder than Estrellas) and I think they might crack your top 3. Cheers HT, love your reviews.
The sarsaparilla? 🤔 Jk. 😄 I've heard lots of pronunciations. I'm not sure I'll be shelling out the cash for one but it sounds awesome for what it does. I have the Doscinco and Cincotres and they come with that same square case too so I know what you mean about the corners. The Estrella is gorgeous, though, so I might be tempted in to buying it at a later date if I see a great deal on it. Thank you for another great review! 👍
@@_-Z- I want to try their other stuff, they seem to make good stuff. Lol ya those corners are brutal. Wish I could try the others and say if this is worth it over them
How would you say these compare to the Hype 4? Those are for sure an all-rounder, endgame iem for me. I think the Sliivo MK2 is pretty great with the spiral dot++ tips as they have a way of easing the treble intensity and giving the mids a tad more of an organic touch; they almost sound like my HD6XX headphones at that point.
@@jakefoxx7978 I like this more than hype 4, hype 4 is a bit better of an all arounder for most people but still a tad too shouty for me personally. I love the SL-41 tho; that’s my main recommendation right now. That all said I think hype 4 is a “safer” recommendation than this, even if I like this more.
@HobbyTalk yeah I guess the Hype 4 wants be "spiritually" more "correct" but still have a touch of "fun" and the way you described the Estrella is it wants to be more fun 😁
Hmmmmmmmmmm… it’s tough… DaVinci to me comes off as a slightly better all arounder. That said, Estrella does pop and EDM music so well it’s nuts. So depends what you mainly listen to.
Is there a warm headphone with a strong sound without any whistling? I tried more than one headphone, and they were all bad. The Hexa Delsey Galeo Red is garbage. The sound is weak. On an average sound, it is sharp and boring. I want an option that is around $100 or less. Help me. I have been confused for a month.
ummm...are you talking about the static freq? I don't hear any distortion on Red, Hexa, and Delci. Try changing your cables and source but those 3 are good even if you plug them directly on your laptop/phone. Sivga Gue, Dunu Titan S2, Sound Rhyme Sp01 and QKZ HBB (just like hobby talk mentioned) are what fits your sound preference under a hundred-dollar category.
You should have proceeded with the review in normal use case (with no inverted polarity). Everybody is going to reach out to fix the issue and make no sense of your input since you missed to cover that scenario. It is very odd that zigatt team completely missed the polarity when building them and Jays did not picked up on that during his final prototyping. This make me question if your unit was defective but again it is a review unit so it makes no sense. I'm sooo confused.
@@ari-athbadminton0301 jay’s measurement rig is inverted, so he gave the go ahead not realizing his rig was inverted when measuring. My review is based of inverted polarity, I did not correct the polarity of this iem for my review. Most won’t care, some are sensitive to it.

did you get the estrellas for free? sounds like you may be bias when comparing.
@@bobsmith3130 Nope, 360USD with taxes. Compared with Thieaudio Monarch MK III. Same tier, different tuning.

When Estrella hits, it HITS
@@jayyaudio I think this was a great tuning idea. You’re right, the world has plenty of all arounders. When this hits it’s truly special.
It’s in my top 6, tied for 4th with CKLVX and Dusk.
I have a shelf of stuff I ACTUALLY listen to, and this will be on that shelf.
Whats you current top 3 if i may ask. Trying to update myself after a time off.
@@ta114 Meteor, DaVinci, SL-41. Those are the 3 I reach for most. Meteor daily.
@@HobbyTalk we have almost the same taste in iem. In case you haven't tried it, I bet you'll like the Letshuoer S08.

@@moonsofjupiter ya… I really need to try their other offerings… would like to if I get the chance. Thank you for the kind words :)
My brother Jay should have put a little pronunciation tutorial on the back of the box 😅
Good review, brother
@@MrDomq22 lol ya I just listened to others reviews to see how they said it but I can barely read as it is haha
Surprised that this is tiered lower than the sl41 I was so sure this will dethrone the sl41 glad to see the sl41 still being in the top 3
@@Suoh2 yeah, that earlier upper mid rise causes me fatigue where the SL-41 doesn’t have that.
Hey man, thanks for the review, i particularly enjoy as a fellow treble sensitive listener.
Will you review the xenns tea pro ?
@@nicolasg9864 if someone sends it to me absolutely haha but ya, this was on the boarder line too much but not. Did a good job with it.
Stephen, thank you for another wonderful earphone review! 👌
Reverend Dr. Thomas,

@@TheVeganVicar thank you for the comment :)
Nicely Done.
Can you please explain the inverted polarity
and how to check for it ?
Thanks
@@deadline7610 it’s hard to explain. Best to A/B test with a song using a program to invert it. Bass sounds off and vocals sound weird to me.

the estrella is more catered to pop hip hop rap and rock, you could try the ziigat doscincis and ziigat cincotres
I want to try their other offerings real bad

Have not tried that one sorry
The night Star vs the natural wood? im in the fence on danvinci or estrella?
Hmmmmmmmmmm… it’s tough… DaVinci to me comes off as a slightly better all arounder. That said, Estrella does pop and EDM music so well it’s nuts. So depends what you mainly listen to.
How do you know if you have an iem that came with reverse polarity? I just very recently heard that this was even a thing. How does that even happen?
@@j.w.s.743 some hear it right away, I don’t always notice it until I A/B test using a program, can measure it too if the rig is correct polarity.
@@HobbyTalk hmmm interesting 🤔

Look into the original QKZ x HBB, the one that is single DD. It’s under $30 and probably your best bet.

How did you find the inverted polarity in the bass btw?
A/B testing
how does it compares with hype4 that has a close driver configuration ?
I much prefer this myself. Hype 4 unfortunately for me had a resonance issue with my ear canal. This is significantly better for me.
Do you prefer it over DaVinci?
@@uglyfate1326 personally no. DaVinci is a bit easier for me to listen to for a longer period of time.
