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 7 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 7 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 ZSA

The KZ ZSA is a budget-friendly hybrid IEM with a warm, energetic sound, highlighted by deep bass and crisp, detailed treble. Its sturdy metal build and detachable cable add value, though the forward treble and sometimes heavy bass may not suit all listeners. Fit can be inconsistent depending on ear shape.

  • Pro:Sturdy metal construction
  • Pro:Deep, impactful bass
  • Pro:Clear mids and detailed highs
  • Con:Bass can be overpowering for some
  • Con:Treble may come across as sharp
  • Con:Fit issues reported by certain users
