What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Ziigaat doscinco
- Positioning: A compact entry-level product designed for affordability and ease of use.

Ziigaat luna
- Positioning: A mid-range unit built for compact spaces with improved connectivity and build quality over entry-level options.
- Description: Features an efficient thermal management design and balanced amplification that boosts performance in small-room settings. Provides better sonic detail than the doscinco but has fewer advanced functions than the cincotres and HBB Arcadia.
Ziigaat cincotres
- Positioning: A versatile mid-range offering that balances performance with enhanced user features and connectivity.
- Description: Uses an innovative amplifier technology that improves sound detail while remaining cost-effective.

Product Strengths
- Premium build quality and materials with luxurious Nappa leather detailing and a cast aluminum yoke
- Comfortable for long listening sessions with soft earcups and a headband that provides even pressure distribution
- Excellent sound quality with 40mm carbon cone drivers delivering ultra-fast response, low distortion, and a clean, smooth sound signature
- Effective active noise cancellation (ANC) reduces low-frequency sounds and midrange chatter, with the Nappa leather providing a tighter seal
- Realistic soundstage scale with tight, well-defined imaging, with the sound feeling more live and in front of the listener
Product Considerations
- Multipoint pairing is not always seamless, and there might be occasional wind noise from the earcup due to software glitches, with wear detection being inconsistent and inaccurate
- Limited app customization with only bass and treble adjustments, lacking a fully customizable EQ
- Microphone pickup is good in quiet environments, but can be affected by heavy noise gating in noisy conditions, causing voice fade-in/out
- Some emphasis on bass response, which may not appeal to everyone
- There is concern about the Nappa leather being easily scratched
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Compared to the PX7 S2, the PX8 offers better sound quality with greater instrument separation and realism due to the carbon fiber drivers, and also features more premium materials
- While the PX8 active noise cancelling does well, Sony still has better mic pickup
- The PX8 provides a good alternative to the Airpods Max
- The PX8 stacks up among some of the best wireless headphones along with the Focal Bathys
Takeaway: The Px8 is a premium wireless headphone with outstanding build quality and sound performance, which is perfect for audiophiles seeking a luxurious listening experience. It combines comfort, effective noise cancellation, and detailed audio reproduction, making it a worthwhile investment for those prioritizing sound quality and high-end materials.

Product Strengths
- Unique octagonal design made of quality materials, with a rugged, serviceable build quality featuring exposed nuts and bolts.
- Surprising amount of bass for an open-back, on-ear headphone, that is solid, tangible, present, well balanced and well tuned.
- The silver-plated OCC copper cable is lightweight, pliable, ergonomic and does not remain bent after staying still.
- Comfortable on-ear headphone, especially considering it's an on-ear design, with thick, soft pads and a comfortable headband.
- Easy to drive with portable devices like dongles or smartphones.
Product Considerations
- Being an on-ear design, the Thalia can become uncomfortable after extended listening sessions (45 minutes or longer) due to pressure on the ears.
- Not the most compact headphone, and does not fold up, limiting its portability somewhat.
- The open-back design results in sound leakage, making it less suitable for noisy environments or situations where discretion is required.
- The height adjustment mechanism, while providing fine control, is a bit fiddly and not easily adjustable on the fly.
- Its lower-midrange will be too full for some.
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- The Thalia is far superior to the Koss Porta Pro and sets a new standard for portable on-ear headphones, but it is inspired by the Porta Pro.
- Compared to the Grado RS2x, the Thalia is more durable, comfortable, and more enjoyable overall, and is more bassy and thicker in the midrange.
- The Thalia has a faster pace and a better driver control, and offers a lot more in the top-octave than the Sennheiser Momentum 2/3.
Takeaway: The Thalia is a uniquely designed, portable on-ear headphone that delivers great sound and is built to last. It is a good option for those who want a distinctive headphone that is fun to listen to.

Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Well-built, comfortable, and good-looking IEMs, with a black shell and a subtle glitter finish that comes alive under the right lighting.
- Nice bass presentation, with good detail and separation.
- Does a good job of giving a lot of bass, a lot of physicality in that bass, but not compromising on the distinction and separation between sounds.
- Strong imaging, with a good sense of space, separation, and positioning.
- Does a nice job of portraying whatever the source sounds like, and it does not have one preference for a warmer or more cold, neutral, natural sound.
Product Considerations
- The included tips are not the best option.
- The included cable is not exactly brilliant, it feels rather cheap and plasticky.
- The upper mids, especially in the 3K to 5K region, are slightly elevated and can come across as a little bit more forward and aggressive sounding.
- Inverted polarity.
- The soundstage always tried to force things a little bit wide, no matter what the track was, it kind of had a slight artificialness to make things sound a little bit wide and airy.
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Versus the Letshuoer Hype 10, the Estrella sounds like a value pick.
- It really reminds the reviewer of the Simgot EM10.
- Versus the Truthear Nova, it is extremely good, with really high clarity and great dynamics.
- The Estrella has more impact in the bass and has better extension from end to end than the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite.
- The Estrella has more bass impact and is a little bit more airy on the top end and the stage is wider than the Softears Studio 4.
- The Thea Audio Oracle Mk3 is a step up in all ways.
Takeaway: The ZiiGaat x Jays Audio Estrella is a well-built IEM with a boosted bass and a smooth overall sound that many people will find enjoyable. It might especially suit those who like extra body to their music and want a competent set of IEMs.
