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.

What reviewers said

1MORE H1012

These wired in-ear monitors deliver a well-rounded, balanced signature that suits critical listening, backed by a solid hybrid driver setup and premium build quality. While they don't emphasize deep bass or a wide soundstage, their overall clarity and accessory package make them a strong pick near the $100 mark.

  • 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

QKZ x HBB Hades

The QKZ x HBB Hades is a wired dual-dynamic IEM that leans heavily into a bass-first, L-shaped sound signature, making it a niche pick for fans of deep, impactful low-end rather than a balanced all-rounder. Its comfortable shells, solid build, and easy fit are highlights, but the overly dark tuning, recessed mids and treble, and lack of technical finesse limit its appeal to specific genres. It's also fairly power-hungry for a low-impedance design, so a capable source helps it shine.

  • Pro:Comfortable and well-built shells
  • Pro:Detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable for easy upgrades
  • Pro:Very affordable for a dual-dynamic setup
  • Con:Bass-heavy tuning causes bleed into mids
  • Con:Recessed vocals and treble reduce clarity
  • Con:Weak technical performance (detail, separation)
