Foreword
Quite honestly, you get much more than your money. It’s a special situation where you have nothing to say and a lot to say at the same time. Ziigaat Nuo easily beat the best budget product we had. We will talk about this in the end.
Build
I would say it is a successful minimalist approach. I like the design of this ultra-cheap iem, the cable is cute and the material is solid. The fit is really good, although the isolation is not perfect. The shells are not bad at all. Metal nozzles are a plus point.
Sound
This is the main part of what makes a review valuable or important. As usual, before I describe the sound, I’m going to do something I’ve never done before. If you’re reading this review unsure whether to buy this iem or not, choose to buy it. Because given its capabilities, this device is being sold for free (24usd).
Zigaat Nuo’s sound profile is balanced, harmann and a bit U-shape. Just a few years ago, there was nothing but ear-splitting extra V-Shape iems for this kind of money. Nowadays, finding such good tones at these prices shows how much the market has improved.
When you listen to tracks that don’t have too many instruments at the same time, you can hear great violins, very good guitars and decent vocals from Nuo. At this point, the only place where I find it appropriate to write something else is the treble. The treble is good but there is a little bit of mudding. Is that a problem? No.
It performed average in almost every genre of music I listened to, some above average and some below average. At this point, it can be said that it is a good device in technical terms. Resolution, imaging and detail reproduction are very good for the price. It has no disadvantages other than losing a little bit of microdetail and squeezing the dimanic range that has been worked on. Separation is good, layering is meh. For only 24 dollars, this is a great iem if you ask me. Because it’s very cheap.
Comparison
Ziigaat Nuo (24usd) vs Kiwi Cadenza (35usd)
First of all, both iems are very good and close products.
Resolution: Nuo > Cadenza
Soundstage: Cadenza > Nuo
Imagine: Nuo > Cadenza
Bass: Nuo > Cadenza
Mid: Nuo > Cadenza
Treble: Cadenza > Nuo
Air Freqs: Nuo > Cadenza
Seperation: Cadenza > Nuo
Overall Technics: Nuo > Cadenza
Tonality: Cadenza > Nuo
As a result, Nuo performs better at a more economical price. This is not to say that Kiwi Cadenza is bad, Cadenza is still good. It’s just that nuo’s technics is better. Cadenza is better in terms of tonality
