Generation & platform

The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?

Same generation

Both shipped in 2024. These are the same generation of hardware - nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price.

  • Pro:Balanced, clean tuning ideal for most genres
  • Pro:Sturdy construction with premium feel
  • Pro:Generous accessory bundle and thoughtful design
  • Con:Limited low-bass impact
  • Con:Soundstage feels narrow due to in-ear fit
  • Con:No noise cancellation or wireless option

  • Pro:Versatile enough for music enjoyment
  • Pro:Very lightweight at just 4.5 grams
  • Con:Cable quality is a minor weak point
