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 H1014

These wired in-ear monitors pack a triple-driver hybrid setup into a lightweight metal shell, delivering a bass-heavy yet detailed sound signature. They come with a generous accessory bundle, including a DAC, making them a compelling pick for budget-conscious listeners who prioritize low-end punch and versatility. Their 32-ohm impedance ensures easy driving from most sources.

  • Pro:Powerful, bass-forward tuning
  • Pro:Detailed hybrid driver array
  • Pro:Sturdy metal construction
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Bass emphasis may not suit purists
  • Con:Cable may be prone to tangling

KZ PRX

The KZ PRX is a budget-friendly planar magnetic IEM that offers a balanced, warm-leaning sound with strong detail retrieval and capable imaging for its price. It excels in sub-bass presence and smooth mids, though it demands proper amplification and ear tips to perform at its best. Its soundstage is decent but not exceptionally wide, and the stock cable is a noted weak point.

  • Pro:Excellent value for a planar IEM
  • Pro:Balanced, warm sound with good detail
  • Pro:Strong imaging and separation for the price
  • Con:Requires a capable source and good ear tips
  • Con:Stock cable limits performance
  • Con:Soundstage is only medium-sized
