ZiiGaat x Jays Audio ESTRELLA
ESTRELLA is a Star you can Hear
“Ever wonder what the stars sound like? You know, the ones at night that talk to each other… the things that gives us our light."
That’s what the Estrella is.
Two Custom 10mm PET Diaphragm Coaxial Dynamic Drivers
4 Independent Balanced Armature Drivers
Powerful Tuning
3-Way Crossover System
6 Driver Hybrid
The ESTRELLA is a hybrid in-ear monitor (IEM) that combines two advanced driver technologies with a total of six drivers per side. It features two custom 10-mm PET diaphragm coaxial dynamic drivers, delivering powerful and impactful bass. Additionally, four independent balanced armature (BA) drivers provide rich, detailed mids and trebles. The Estrella utilizes genuine American Knowles 29689 and European Sonion 2345 full-range BA drivers, along with Sonion E50 series BA super tweeters, ensuring an immersive and high-fidelity audio experience.
Powerful Tuning
The ESTRELLA was conceived to be a beast of an IEM. With almost 15dB of sub-bass quantity, ESTRELLA produces incredible amounts of raw, powerful bass, and truly demonstrates the capacity of its 2DD system. Furthermore, its crispy treble and lush mids on top creates a dynamic musical experience that won’t make you stop smiling. This makes ESTRELLA perfect for both bass-lovers, and anyone seeking a different, unique, and mesmerizing sound.
3-Way Crossover Tuning
Achieving tonal balance is a key factor in producing the best sound in a hybrid IEM configuration. The ESTRELLA uses a 3-way crossover system with 3 independent sound tubes to achieve acoustic linearity and tonal balance. The bass has a focused sub-bass impact with strong and resounding kick drum emphasis. The mids have a natural warmth and fullness thanks to two full range BA drivers. The trebles are crystal clear and refined thanks to the latest Sonion ultra-treble tweeter.

Behind the Design — A Message from Jay's Audio
“While making it, we wanted to create an experience that is dynamically rich, exciting, powerful, and beautiful like the word “Star” that Estrella is named after. It has to be an IEM that fully connects with its listener, and elevates the joy that music brings.
Even though our earlier prototypes were beasts in their own right, what really separated Estrella was how it made me move with the music. I felt connected, engaged, and couldn’t stop head bopping to the songs that came on. I’ve reviewed and tested over 300 IEMS now, and even then Estrella still remains a spark of excitement in the mundane, it’s a breathe of fresh air in the overcrowded, and most importantly, it is the only set I’ve heard this year that couldn’t make me stop smiling.
So, just like how Estrella brought a massive smile to my face, I hope that it can do the same for you… Because that’s what this is all about - the music.”

Customer Reviews
Graph is different on multiple reviews and tuning is very v shaped. Waste orff my money
There are two not so good aspects in this IEM. 1) Included Tips are Trash 2) 4/5khz is a bit much
Apart from these two gipes, this IEM excels at everything. With a tape you can take it even higher. Lower mid-range might not wow you but upper mids will.
Here's a link to my full review - https://youtu.be/kWDjDp2yhss
At 300$ this IEM is a no-brainer pickup. Easily competes with other IEM's that are double, even triple it's price.
Easy contender for best in price range if you want some excitement and versatility! Goes low and sings high without losing itself or the mids, with fantastic texture and timbre!
These are super fun to listen to, the bass slams hard while sounding clean, the mids sound like they're being played in front of my eyes, and the highs are clear and feel like you can touch them where they are. The highs are interesting, they sound good without being too revealing. I wasn't so lucky with the stock ear tips, I couldn't get a good and comfortable seal on them, but with the right ear tips, these are just awesome and like I mentioned, these make the music really fun to listen.
I’ve owned maybe close to 50 IEMs so far and I must say that this is one of the best especially for the price. It’s one of the most fun sets that I own while also being very technical. The bass it provides is thundering, vocals are crisp and clear, and treble is sparkly and airy. You can’t go wrong here.
For whatever reason, it seems the world of chi-fi decided to REALLY ramp up the mid-tier bracket this year, and the Estrella is no exception. It's got a near perfect balance throughout the entire FR, with deep, well-extended, punchy, high-quality bass, full, lush mids, and well-extended highs, complete with a spacious soundstage, excellent detail retrieval, and pinpoint imaging. There's really not much more I can ask for.
The standout for me is the vocals. They have the best balance I've heard in an IEM at or around this price point. Female vocals are clean and vibrant, while male vocals have the perfect amount of warmth and body. I think Jay and ZiiGaat have done an outstanding job with the tuning on this set. It's a winner, and a serious IEM endgame candidate.
There are 2 minor downsides I can think of. One is the modest package for the price. I would've liked to have seen better eartips and cable, but I can do without them, since I do have many replacement ones in my collection. The second is (and I don't know if this affects every Estrella) that my unit has some driver flex. They can sound quite noisy going into the ears, but once in place, everything is fine.
Other than that, for $300, I don't think you can possibly do an IEM better.
Sounds great. Has that warm bright thing going for it.
My full written review can be found over on Head-Fi but this is one of my favorite IEMs I've had the pleasure of hearing. The sub bass has plenty of rumble and texture, the mid-bass is nicely present and impactful, the mids and upper mids have incredible texture and detail and the treble is the true start of the show. The Sonion E50 BAs are the real deal and the way Jay and Ziigaat chose to tune these shows a ton of expertise.
You cannot go wrong with the Estrella.
