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
DUNU Alpha 3
The DUNU Alpha 3 are premium flathead earbuds built around a sizable 14.2mm dynamic driver housed in a sturdy stainless steel and aluminum alloy shell. They come with a high-purity silver-plated Litz cable and offer both 3.5mm and 4.4mm plug choices, making them a versatile wired option for listeners seeking a detailed, open sound.
- Pro:Large dynamic driver for rich sound
- Pro:Durable metal construction
- Pro:High-quality silver-plated cable
- Con:No active noise cancellation
- Con:Wired only, less portable convenience
- Con:Flathead design may not fit all ears securely
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
