Your opinions are always so honest and trustworthy. Others said Dynaquattro was just okay, but you praised it. I tried it out, and it was honestly amazing!
I’m so glad you compared the shape and size to the Aful Magicone, that iem is my ideal fit and literally feels like it was made for my ear with the way it fits and seals.
Great review as always. I reaaly enjoyed all your comparrisons to the other IEMs. I think Estrella would be just right for me. Need to go water my money tree!
You're my favorite IEM reviewer cause we have similar tastes and hearing your thoughts on this is hyping me up even more. Linsoul please send over my set ASAP!!!
I just noticed something. Im older and my hearing has declined. I favor the brighter sets more (but still with good bass). Younger or great hearing folk do not like the brigher sets (especially the 6kHz peak). So if you are older then you will definitely like the. brighter sets and if you are younger stay away from the brighter sets.
Thank you so much for contrasting the Estrella with so many of it's competitors. Since the comparison with the Dunu DaVinci was very short, I want to make the following personal observation (since I own the DaBinki). The strength of the DaVinci lies especially in the mids which have very natural timbre and weight and the tonality is warm. The highs are smooth, so it is very safe for people that have treble sensitivity, but it certainly lacks air and the soundstage is rather intimate. The bass is rich and textured (there is also a lot of it), but it is not the fastest and thus not the cleanest in the business. If I understood you correctly, the Estrella is not as warm, has cleaner/ faster bass, less pronounced mids and more sparkle up top. I guess my question is, would you recommend getting the Estrella if you already own the DaVinci or are the differences to small to make it worth the investment.
Great vid with tons of comparisons. The Estrella has some newer drivers/tech that were implemented well. Excited about mine and waiting. Love the Doscincos but had to have these too.
All of the reviews are positive but only focusing on the bass. I am not a basshead... not in the slightest. i prefer a cleaner and melodious sound. I listen to orchestral, jazz, and synthwave. Is the tape mod Estrella worth it for me? Looking for something that brings out the emotions in music.
I would rec the Ziigaat Arete for you then. It’s in the same Doscinco/Cincotres/Estrella family and is $260 I believe. It’s more balanced with a little less bass than Estrella and same for treble presence. But it has enough of both to be engaging and people seem to like it a lot
I also wanted to ask about the nozzle diameter of the Estrella. The DaVinci has a very wide nozzle (I think it was around 6,3 on the lip) which can be too much if you have small earholes. Is the nozzle of the Estrella smaller?
I'll try to when I can, I just have a lot of content to do. What I will say is the Hifiman Edition XS is an excellent headphone that is fully enjoyable.
Sure if possible.. I think to IEMs this is quite rare.. What you said about distinct tone and uniqueness to it makes me worry.. Cincotres had such an off-tone to its treble.
Your perspective on what an IEM should sound like is interesting. Seems to me like you're looking for uniqueness in an IEM. You used the word "fancy". I, on the other hand, perhaps others, are looking for "correct", or "natural" sound, but with dynamics and impact. I had the M5E 7th, and the human voice sounded *exactly* like a human voice... no boominess, no tunnel-ness, no sharpness or uplifted timbre, no metallic, no honkiness... exactly like human voice in an HD 600 -- just precisely like a human voice. And that tells me it is the most accurate IEM I can think of... but I wasn't looking for natural, I was looking for fun. I also didn't get on with HD 600, not fun enough. Like you said, some IEMs just don't "get you going". Anyway, funny how we each have a different thing we're looking for in a sound profile.
Worth getting if I currently own the 61T, Performer 5, SuperMix, and Adonis New? Debating between the Estrella, Arete and possibly the new Xenns Mangird Tea Pro depending on how the reviews are
Yeah that tuff, it has that cool different approach to upper mids. Could always sell a few sets that you don't' use then put that towards a new set. Always depends on what you need. New Xenns Mangrid Tea Pro looks interesting.
I’m trying to make my next set one that’s my ENDGAME set for gaming while also having ENDGAME sound quality. The Estrella seems like ENDGAME for music but not sure how it is for gaming. Arete could be ENDGAME for gaming but not music. Fresh reviews is gonna be reviewing the Tea Pro this week so I’m eagerly waiting. If I were to sell a set, probably my 61T. Sounds great but I hate the pressure, and it’s so hard to find good tips for it
Mostly hip hop but a little of everything. Since I already have the SuperMix which is excellent for gaming, and a few other sets great for music, I want 1 that is an upgrade over the SuperMix for gaming and an upgrade over my others for music. I know it’s a lot to ask for but that’s what I’m searching for at the moment
@@Jaytiss heard they are pretty damn good,hope you can continue to bring good comparisons.BTW,how does the cca hydro compare to the estrella in detail retrievel, separation and resolution?
Letsgoooooo
❤️
This is HYPE!! The fact that it can go against IEMs that are more expensive is INSANE!!
@@jayyaudio 😎
Your opinions are always so honest and trustworthy. Others said Dynaquattro was just okay, but you praised it. I tried it out, and it was honestly amazing!
Ohh thank you. It’s all about preference and what you like. These two are different and I can definitely see liking one over the other.
I’m so glad you compared the shape and size to the Aful Magicone, that iem is my ideal fit and literally feels like it was made for my ear with the way it fits and seals.

bruh, eh-stray-uh.... sounds like you're saying "australia"... but it is fitting since i'm reminded of jay pronouncing "aria" 😂
He is never beating the Aria allegations 😂😂
I just read it. 😂😄. You’re right.
Great review. Long but in depth!
Congrats on Jaytiss x JayAudio video review.
😂
jay tried to tell us that hes not jays audio but i never seen the jay n jay in the same room before 🤔but very nice review jay 🤠
😂❤️
Great review as always. I reaaly enjoyed all your comparrisons to the other IEMs. I think Estrella would be just right for me. Need to go water my money tree!
I need a money tree just for this hobby! 😂❤️
This is a great review!! Im picking this one up only because of the price!
It does a great job in price to performance ratio.
What IEM under 500 makes you enjoy music the most? The one set that just makes you want to know what the next track sounds like.
Estrella is a solid pick under 500 for sure. Nice overall tonality.
You're my favorite IEM reviewer cause we have similar tastes and hearing your thoughts on this is hyping me up even more. Linsoul please send over my set ASAP!!!
Thank you so much. ❤️
Excited for this one!
It’s a good one.
Great video, thanks for comparing Estrella to almost all modern sets.
It was long! 😂😄❤️
Great review! 👍I really relate to your reviews. The Estrella sounds pretty impressive.
Thanks for watching! I really like it! It does a lot well.

Thanks for sharing! Im 45, so middle of the pack. I think my hearing is decent.
Great review Jaytiss! Man i wish i could try it, but it's on my list of IEMs to get.
It’s a good demo iem.
Very thorough review.
❤️
Congrats on your first collab.

For a person looking at these two, the fit might be the biggest difference. the nozzle size is huge on the Davinci compared to the Estrella.
Both of these comments are awesome, thank you two. Wish there were more reviews against the Arate.
I own both. Worth having both of them though if I were to choose, it'd be Estrella.
@@r00s. Thanks for your feedback 👍

Nice
So nice
There are 4 vents in Davinci , i tape mod with covering 2 holes with 3M steri-strip. Notice that weird bass was gone, without making pressure built up
Good to know, I still don’t like having to mod a 300 dollar earphone.
Yoooooooo🎉🎉🎉

Elysian x Jaytiss collab when?
lol. A collab would be fun, just to show my kids it. :)
Jaytiss ❤ Jay

I like it, and it’s a good mod. Worth trying it. Only thing like that is a much more expensive U4s. Which isn’t the same just close.
@@Jaytiss so the Estrella is better than the 64 audio U4?
@@chinmayrasam its even better than u12t

5.5mm according to jay
5.5mm. Jay wanted to make sure to keep it comfortable.
So the real one competetor to Estrella is Dynaquattro? Did not really understand, is it better than EM10?
I think so.
Most people just say to get the Supermix 4 if you like the EM10 sound signature. EM10 has boomy bass and sibilance.
Can you elaborate more on the hype 10 being better
Cleaner, better upper mids, better air.
@@Jaytiss and the shell is like twice as big so it should be
I used autoeq on the hype 4 to your target and got a noticable improvemet
really? did you get more bass?
I’m glad to hear that. :)
Bro could you do a review of the hifiman edition xs?and comparisons because it only costs 260$ rn and pls compare with iems and stuff
I'll try to when I can, I just have a lot of content to do. What I will say is the Hifiman Edition XS is an excellent headphone that is fully enjoyable.
@@Jaytiss how will do they compare vs something like the top tier iems in 200-400 iem,I.e. the ziigaat,elysian pilgrim,moondrop etc.
Watching for the second time.
I finally know from where your nickname comes.
🥰❤️😄
Hi Jay. Is Estrella a good complement to the Doscinco? Or are they too similar? Any recommendation please? Thanks
I think so. They are different enough.
Which is overall better the thieaudio hype 4 or the estrella?Also with EQ
It depends. I like the upper air on Estella more, you can always eq to fix things.
@@Jaytiss planars are still top tier bang for buck with EQ right?also does the cca hydro take EQ well?
Yes, cca hydro takes eq well. It’s very nice for my library.
@@Jaytiss which is a better deal for a 1st time iem,a nicehck f1 pro for 83$ or cca hydro for 97$?
Hi Jay, great review. Thoughts on this compared to the Aful Explorer?
It’s closer than you might think. Estrella is a better iem due to better upper mids but explorer is a third of the cost and more comfortable.
@@Jaytiss What makes it more comfortable? Comfort is huge to me.
ooph.. I almost don't believe ZiiGaat after the last letdown with Cincotres
Fair. Always demo first.
Sure if possible.. I think to IEMs this is quite rare.. What you said about distinct tone and uniqueness to it makes me worry.. Cincotres had such an off-tone to its treble.
You notice the reversed polarity thingy?
Nope. Not even a little bit.

Anyway, funny how we each have a different thing we're looking for in a sound profile.
It’s all preference and mood. Some times minor things can change how an iem sounds for us.

Tea pro looks promising. Getting raving reviews on Taobao. Btw Xenns also discontinued the Up, so maybe a hint of a new Up coming soon?
@@JAG3RmanJENSON I have the arete and it can do music really good and gaming is great. What kind of music do you listen to?

I like female vocalists. How about this?
I think good. But not an overly female vocal set.
Is it more technical than dusk 3.5 ?
About the same but way better tuned.
What is the score after eq?
Eq changes 90% of iems to S tier.
I already have the ISN H60 (2DD + 4 BA), do you think its worth it to own this Estrella?
Yes, they are vert different. You might sell your H60 afterwards.

How does it sound with kpop? And most importantly the iem is it have more mid bass or sub bass?
And is the vocals clear? Or veil by bass?
Great vocals but almost recessed. Very clear.
Hmm Ziigaat Australia looks to be a killer set
It is a solid clean set.
