Synergy
Efficiency & Sensitivity
With an impedance of 26Ω and sensitivity of 103 dB, the ZiiGaat Luna is not difficult to drive. It reaches comfortable listening levels on basic dongles or even a phone without requiring extra gain.
At lower volumes, the most noticeable change is a drop in bass presence. The midrange and treble still come through clearly, but the sound feels lighter and less complete.
Raising the volume restores the bass response and gives the presentation more weight. The treble keeps its clarity, while the midrange gains a fuller sense of presence.
Noise and distortion are absent even at high levels, showing stable handling across sources. Its efficiency makes it broadly compatible, though it scales better when given more power.
Pairings
Running the ZiiGaat Luna directly from a phone provides more than enough loudness. The presentation stays clean, though the bass feels softer and the dynamics less engaging.
With the FiiO JA11, there is a small lift in clarity, especially in the treble. Vocals sound sharper in placement, while bass impact returns with slightly better control.
Using the Heartfield R1 gives the Luna a warmer tilt. Separation is reduced compared to other sources, but the low-end feels more filled out and weightier.
The Colorfly CDA-M2 pairing highlights the Luna’s detail retrieval. Treble sparkle and microdynamics become more revealing, while the staging feels a little more open.
Selected Comparisons
ZiiGaat Arcanis
Technical
The ZiiGaat Arcanis uses a 7-driver hybrid setup with two 10mm dynamic drivers and five Knowles balanced armatures. A 4-way passive crossover links them, keeping the response separated between lows, mids, and highs.
Its isobaric dynamic driver pair handles the bass, maximizing output while reducing distortion. Two 32873 drivers cover the low-mids, two 29689 units take the mid-treble, and a single 33518 extends into the upper treble.
Design
The faceplate of the Arcanis is bright and colorful, mixing teal, silver, and blue flakes that resemble a cracked emerald or frozen lake. A white ZiiGaat logo sits at the center, contrasting the vibrant surface.
Its shell is glossy black resin with subtle marbling under the light, rounded smoothly for comfort. Gold-printed markings on the inner shell show the name, serial, and channel ID, while a mesh-covered vent and polished metal nozzle complete the build.
Performance
Bass is an easy win for the Arcanis, with its dual dynamic drivers pushing deeper rumble and fuller impact. The Luna sounds controlled and fast, but its low end feels lean next to the sheer weight and natural decay of the Arcanis.
The midrange is closer to even, but the Arcanis brings more warmth and body. Male vocals sound fuller and more grounded, giving them a natural heft that the Luna doesn’t match.
Where the Luna answers back is with upper mids, carrying sharper clarity and more openness. Female vocals and instruments stand out more cleanly, while the Arcanis plays it smoother but less revealing.
Treble is where the Luna dominates, offering more extension, sparkle, and air. The Arcanis does things somewhat similarly, but it loses out in resolution and openness, sounding restrained by comparison.
Detail retrieval is also firmly in Luna’s favor, exposing micro-textures and trailing notes that the Arcanis leaves behind. The extra clarity makes every cymbal strike and subtle background sound more distinct.
Staging ability reinforces Luna’s win, stretching wider and deeper with better separation between instruments. The Arcanis simply cannot reach the openness and spread that the Luna consistently provides.
Xenns Mangird Tea Pro
Technical
The Xenns Mangird Tea Pro uses a hybrid setup of 2 dynamic drivers and 6 balanced armatures. Its dual 8mm dynamics use a reinforced bio-composite diaphragm for stronger and cleaner subbass output.
The six armatures are custom-tuned, consisting of two Knowles units, two RAF drivers, and one RDB composite set. This arrangement improves timbre accuracy and adds more micro-detail compared to Tea2.
Design
The Tea Pro faceplate blends the designs of the Tea, Tea 2, and Top into a two-tone “Northern Lights” finish. Violet and green colors shift under lighting, accented by gold dots and the Mangird name at the center.
Its shell is opaque black resin, rounded smoothly for fit. The Tea Pro branding and left/right indicators are printed on the hump, while the nozzle uses a secure metal lip for ear tips.
Performance
The Tea Pro takes the bass win with authority, producing a deeper rumble and a fuller slam that makes drums and basslines feel powerful. The Luna is quick and tight, but it simply doesn’t hit with the same satisfying weight the Tea Pro delivers.
That stronger bass presence gives the Tea Pro a warmer foundation, making instruments feel richer and more grounded. In contrast, the Luna plays leaner, keeping things controlled but not nearly as engaging in the low end.
Vocals are where Luna strikes back, carrying sharper clarity and definition across the midrange. Male voices stay articulate without being veiled, while female vocals rise naturally with convincing precision.
The Tea Pro, by comparison, smooths vocals into the mix, making them sound warmer but slightly less separated. The Luna clearly outlines each phrase, keeping vocal lines front and center with lifelike timbre.
Treble performance also belongs to the Luna, which extends further with more sparkle and openness. The Tea Pro rolls off earlier, keeping treble smooth and safe but losing the air and fine detail that the Luna uncovers.
Staging further cements Luna’s advantage, offering a wider and more open image with clearer separation. The Tea Pro feels more intimate and closed-in, while the Luna spreads instruments around the stage with better placement and depth.
My Verdict
The ZiiGaat Luna stands out for its superb treble performance, combining sparkle, openness, and clarity with consistently impressive resolution.
Its staging is another highlight, spreading instruments wide with precise imaging that makes it engaging for both studio and casual use.
Despite coming with a plain stock cable that doesn’t match its premium feel, the Luna still carries itself well as a complete package at this price point.
It proves itself as a detailed and resolving IEM that excels in treble and staging, while keeping a smooth and enjoyable presentation.
