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?
The Cozoy D2 is 3 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. For 3 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

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
KZ PR3
The KZ PR3 is a budget-friendly planar IEM that shines in technical performance, delivering crisp detail, wide staging, and precise imaging. Its bright, lean tuning offers speed and clarity but sacrifices bass weight and natural timbre, making it a picky choice for listeners who prefer a warmer, more relaxed sound.
- Pro:Excellent detail retrieval and resolution
- Pro:Wide soundstage and strong imaging
- Pro:Fast, agile planar driver response
- Con:Bright, peaky tuning can sound harsh or fatiguing
- Con:Lean bass with limited mid-bass body
- Con:Timbre can come across as unnatural or metallic
