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 5 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 5 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 ZAS

The KZ ZAS is a budget-friendly hybrid IEM that pairs a dynamic driver with seven balanced armatures for a lively, detailed sound.

While its stock tuning may not suit everyone, it remains a versatile performer for the price.

  • Pro:Energetic and engaging bass response
  • Pro:Clear and detailed mids and treble
  • Pro:Comfortable, lightweight build
  • Con:Stock tuning may be too V-shaped for purists
  • Con:Lacks active noise cancellation
  • Con:No app support or custom EQ options
