ZiiGaat Horizon In-Ear Monitors Review
A tribrid IEM from ZiiGaat that the page lists with a single 10mm biodynamic driver, two Knowles balanced armature drivers and two planar drivers, priced at $279.65. The cable is interchangeable with 2-pin 0.78mm connectors; the listing text gives no impedance or sensitivity.

Our verdict
A tribrid IEM for someone who wants a stated mix of dynamic, balanced armature and planar drivers and an interchangeable 2-pin cable at $279.65. Look elsewhere if you need a listed impedance, sensitivity or plug type, since the listing text gives none of them. The main caveat is that the 35kHz extension, the 4dB figure and every tonal description are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
- Best for
- Someone who wants a wired tribrid IEM with an interchangeable 2-pin cable and stated planar driver details.
- Skip if
- You want impedance and sensitivity figures on the page before you buy.
A tribrid design is what ZiiGaat lists for the Horizon: one 10mm biodynamic driver, two custom ported Knowles 30262-163 balanced armature (BA) drivers and two custom composite planar drivers. The page says the planar pair is there to extend the upper range to 35kHz. The price is $279.65 for a single option, and the cable is an interchangeable 2-pin 0.78mm design in silver-plated oxygen-free copper.
Options and pricing
There is one orderable option at $279.65, so there is nothing to choose between. A crossed-out $329 sits next to the price on the page; that is the store's own comparison and we did not check it. The cable is described as interchangeable with 2-pin 0.78mm connectors and silver-plated oxygen-free copper wire, but the listing text names no plug type or cable length.
How it compares
The Punch Audio Martilo costs the same $279.65 and its listing text mentions Hybrid and planar. The ZiiGaat x B_Media: Jade is $299 and its listing text mentions Quadbrid, planar and MEMS, where the Horizon page says Tribrid. The Shanling ME600 is $299 with Hybrid mentioned in its listing text.
Shipping
- Methods and costs. The store's shipping page offers Standard Shipping (4PX, Yanwen or Yun Express), free for most countries, and Express Shipping (DHL Express, FedEx or SF Express) at 15-50 USD depending on the country, free for orders over 270 USD in most countries (checked 2026-11-11).
- Delivery times. It says an in-stock order ships within 3 working days, Standard takes about 2 weeks after shipping out (up to 1-3 months for some countries, and the store makes no refund for that transit time) and Express takes about 3-7 days. Festive seasons and other circumstances can change the timing.
- Taxes and fees. The buyer pays any customs, import or processing fees. The page says Standard via YunExpress is tax-inclusive for some countries, that remote areas can carry extra Express charges, and that a parcel refused or left uncollected over taxes is deducted two-way freight and may be destroyed with no refund.
- Where it ships. The page says the store can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to confirm Standard with the team for your country. It cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses and can only use Express to Hawaii. It does not name the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so confirm before you pay.
- Lost parcels. If a parcel has been in transit for at least 3 months, the page offers a one-time reshipment or a full refund for orders under $50 and a 50% refund for orders above $50.
Returns and warranty
- Returns. The return page allows returning any non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying the shipping. Email [email protected] within that period; the store asks for the return to be shipped within 5 working days of the RMA instructions and in most cases processes a refund within 5 business days of inspecting it (checked 2026-11-11).
- Opened items. A product opened within the first 7 days after delivery can be returned for the price minus a restocking fee of 35% of its retail value, including when it still works properly.
- Refund or credit. The buyer can choose a refund to the original payment method (PayPal or card) or store credit; with no answer within 48 hours of confirmation the default is store credit, which can also be prioritized during promotions, final-sale events and for items 40% or more off retail.
- Not returnable. Customized products, including faceplate designs, are non-refundable, and the page says the same applies to carry cases, cables, ear tips and other accessories, "due to hygiene purposes". If one item in a package is defective, incorrect or missing, the refund or replacement covers only that item.
- Warranty. The page gives a 1-year warranty on products, excluding carry cases, ear tips and other accessories, and 3 months on cables and adapters, from the date of purchase. It covers factory defects that affect proper function, not damage from human error, negligence, accidents, dismantling, water, abuse or modification (checked 2026-11-11).
- Not covered or limited. It does not apply to items bought elsewhere (AliExpress, Amazon, local dealers and the like), prize or giveaway items, normal wear or colour change, commercial use, or items that were stolen or went missing. Coverage is limited for products 40% or more off retail, for review units and for items repaired or modified by anyone Linsoul has not authorized.
- Claims. Email [email protected] with the order number, the issue and photos and videos of the fault. The store may ask for the unit back for a replacement. It covers shipping for some defects reported within 7 days of delivery if the fault can be shown on video or photo; after 7 days the buyer ships it back. For wrong or missing items an unboxing video of the whole sealed parcel is required.
Before you buy
Linsoul says it was founded in 2016 by the Crazy HiFi team to bring Chinese HiFi makers closer to listeners worldwide, and that it now sells other makers' products alongside four brands of its own, THIEAUDIO, Kiwi Ears, ZiiGaat and Tripowin (checked 2026-11-11).
This product is from one of those brands, so Linsoul is both the seller and the brand's owner: its descriptions of the product are the brand owner's own claims.
We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store. Ratings and owner reviews shown on the store's own pages are the store's and were not verified.
What we liked
- The page lists every driver type: a 10mm biodynamic driver, two Knowles balanced armature drivers and two planar drivers
- An interchangeable 2-pin 0.78mm cable is listed, so a replacement cable can be fitted
- The page gives figures for its claimed upper range: 35kHz, within 4dB across 20 to 35kHz
- One option at $279.65, so there is no plug or color decision
Worth noting
- The listing text gives no impedance, sensitivity, cable length or plug type
- The 35kHz and 4dB figures are the maker's claims and the listing text gives no measurement behind them
- The page's tonal descriptions are the maker's wording and cannot be checked from the listing
Questions before you buy

Can I return it if I change my mind?
The return page allows returning a non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying shipping. An opened product returned within 7 days carries a 35% restocking fee. Refunds go to the original payment method or to store credit, which is the default if you do not choose.

Does Linsoul ship to the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand?
The page says Linsoul can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to ask the team about Standard for your country. It names no restriction for the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, but it does not list them either, and it can only use Express to Hawaii.
What warranty does it have?
The page gives a 1-year warranty on products from the purchase date for factory defects, not for human error, accidents or modification. Coverage is limited for items 40% or more off retail and for review units, and it does not apply to items bought from other sellers.

What we couldn’t verify
- The page's tonal descriptions (smooth treble, thumpy bass, warm midrange) are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
- Per the page, the planar drivers extend the upper range to 35kHz and stay within 4dB across 20 to 35kHz; the listing text gives no measurement for this.
- The listing text gives no impedance, sensitivity, cable length or plug type.
- We have not read an independent review of this product or the store, and the store's own ratings were not verified. We read the store's catalog description only: a specification table or image shown just on the live page was not read.
- The shipping page names no US, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand times or fees: its figures are general and we could not confirm them for these countries.
- Linsoul owns this brand, so the store's descriptions of it are the owner's own claims, which we could not check independently.
