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

The Cozoy D2 is 2 years newer, but it is 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

Cozoy D2

The Cozoy D2 is a budget-friendly wired IEM that pairs a 6 mm beryllium driver with a 10 mm graphene-composite driver for a dual-dynamic setup. It offers a flexible connection via a 2-pin 0.78 mm cable that includes swappable 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm plugs, catering to both standard and balanced sources. With a 20-ohm impedance, it's easy to drive from most devices.

  • Pro:Dual-driver hybrid design for detailed sound
  • Pro:Interchangeable 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm plugs
  • Pro:Low impedance (20 ohms) for easy pairing
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Wired only, limiting portability
  • Con:Budget build may not suit all users

HiFiMAN RE400i

The HiFiMAN RE400i is a lightweight, wired IEM that delivers a smooth, balanced, and detailed sound signature, making it a strong value for budget-conscious listeners who prioritize clarity over bass punch. Its compact fit and comfortable design are complemented by a decent accessory set, though the build quality—especially the cable—is a notable weak point. Best suited for acoustic, classical, or critical listening, it lacks modern extras like app support or a robust remote.

  • Pro:Accurate, detailed midrange and treble
  • Pro:Neutral, non-fatiguing tuning
  • Pro:Very lightweight and comfortable
  • Con:Bass is restrained and lacks impact
  • Con:Cable is thin and feels fragile
  • Con:No app support or advanced features
