ZiiGaat Lush
Designed for Studio Engineers and Stage Musicians
The ZiiGaat Lush is a studio-grade in-ear monitor engineered to deliver the precision and accuracy required by performing musicians and sound engineers. With its leaner, tighter sound profile, it offers true studio monitor fidelity in every note.
Hybrid Configuration with a Dynamic Driver Subwoofer
Equipped with a single 10mm PET diaphragm dynamic driver optimized as a dedicated subwoofer, the Lush delivers a robust 9dB output at 20Hz for impressive low-end rumble. Its woofer cutoff is precisely tuned to 200Hz, ensuring clean, controlled bass without unwanted bloating while preserving neutral midrange and treble clarity.
Four Balanced Armature Drivers
The Lush utilizes our proprietary balanced armature drivers, featuring a dual custom composite full-range driver that powers the midrange with exceptional clarity between 200Hz and 1kHz. A custom dual tweeter system captures subtle micro-details in the upper treble, delivering a coherent, well-integrated high-frequency response free from unnatural peaks or dips.
Neutral Tonal Balance for Discerning Listeners
Inspired by studio monitors, the Lush is designed to reproduce audio exactly as intended by musicians and engineers. Its three-way passive crossover network allocates each driver to its optimal frequency range, ensuring powerful yet agile bass, an authentic neutral midrange, and detailed, clear trebles without harshness.
Hand-Assembled Quality
Each Lush unit is meticulously crafted from 3D printed medical-grade resin. Hand-painted faceplates and an individualized quality control process guarantee exceptional sound performance, superior craftsmanship, and premium packaging.

Customer Reviews
Inside the box, you get a pair of IEMs, a cable, 3 pairs of silicone eartips, and a pair of foam eartips, all put within a hard carrying case. The IEM shell retains the ergonomic shape of previous Ziigaat series, made from 3D printed medical grade resin with a metal nozzle that includes a proper lip. The faceplate features the glitter filled Ziigaat logo with a vent hole located on the top of the shell near the 2-pin connector. The included cable is only available with a 3.5mm jack. While the cable is functional and aesthetically adequate, it honestly looks cheap for an IEM at this price point. The hard storage case is quite nice, seemingly made of a pleather material that will likely flake over time.
Sound Impressions
Here are my sound impressions, with a sound signature I would describe as neutral with bass boost. For this review, I used my Hiby R4 DAP streaming Tidal at volume of 30-33 on low gain.
Bass
The sub-bass feels slightly dominant and extends quite deep with a decent amount of rumble. The mid-bass, on the other hand, is tight and controlled with a modest impact and attack. The decay feels quite fast, which is consistent with the quantity of bass which isn't big. The bass level is far from what a basshead wanted, but that doesn't mean the bass on the Lush is lacking, it's just that its presence is felt more in the sub-bass, for some music genre the mid-bass feels lacks punch, and its impact feels a little bit soft rather than hard hitting, overall the presentation has been toward more to relaxed.
Midrange
Male vocals have a slightly added warm nuance, but I don't think they have enough body to be described as lush, which would imply a full body, warm, and rich vocal. I would still categorize the vocals here as neutral. Female vocals also sound neutral and don't feel recessed they are clear, open, and far from veiled, yet presented smoothly. Instruments like pianos and guitars flow smoothly with a natural timbre. I don't think midcentric lovers would be a good match for the Ziigaat Lush, as both instruments and vocals can feel a bit less engaging. However, if you are looking for a midrange that is inoffensive and far from shouty, the Ziigaat Lush could be a great option for you.
Treble
One of the most pleasant aspects of the Ziigaat Lush for me is its treble. It is quite detailed and well-extended, feeling airy yet presented smoothly. It is safe from sibilance and doesn't sound dark to me at all. Unfortunately, at low volumes, the treble seems dormant, it requires a higher volume to truly wake it up.
Technical Performance
The Ziigaat Lush has a decent soundstage, not particularly wide, but not narrow either. Imaging is well defined with good pinpoint accuracy, especially at higher volumes where it becomes more holographic. Each instrument is well separated and placed distinctly in its position are all defined quite well. Depth and layering are just okay, there are better performers in this price range. The resolution and detail from the low to high frequencies are not exceptional but are quite good for the price. Likewise, the timbre strikes me as quite natural. For a musical sounding IEM, I find the technicalities of the Ziigaat Lush to be quite competent for its price level.
Conclusion
So, is the Ziigaat Lush worth owning? At its price of around $179, if you are someone who enjoys a warm-neutral sound characteristic of the new meta tuning with a smooth upper-mid, and you listen to a wide variety of non aggressive genres, then you should give the Ziigaat Lush a try. Hopefully, its musical presentation will allow you to enjoy your music for hours. However, if you are a treblehead, basshead, midcentric lover, or someone who enjoys aggressive genres like metal, hard rock, or punk, I would not recommend the Ziigaat Lush. That's all, fellas. Thank you for reading. Cheers.
The Lush is seriously a sweet IEM to listen too. It is so smooth and immersive, it's like a warm hug in the cold. Build is great and it is a very competent set in the price range. Works well with acoustics and classicals for me. Feel asleep listening to these Lush and they are comfy as well. Two thumbs up
One of the best neutral tuned ZIIGAAT!
