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

Hidizs MK10 ArcSonics (2025) against KZ PRX (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

Hidizs MK10 ArcSonics

The Hidizs MK10 ArcSonics is a wired single-dynamic IEM that delivers sharp detail and quick transients, leaning toward a bright, revealing U-shaped tuning that suits treble and vocal-focused listening. Its 10mm driver, 4.4mm balanced connection, and detachable cable offer solid technical performance for the price, though passive isolation is weak and the sound may not satisfy bass lovers. The build is attractive but slightly heavy, and the included cable feels less durable than the shells.

Pro:Excellent detail retrieval and fast transient response
Pro:Clean, transparent, bright tuning with strong treble extension
Pro:Attractive design with detachable 4.4mm balanced cable

Con:Poor passive isolation
Con:Unusual imaging characteristics
Con:Upper-mid/treble energy can be fatiguing

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
