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 Hidizs MS2 PRO 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
Hidizs MS2 PRO
The Hidizs MS2 PRO is a budget-friendly hybrid IEM pairing a 10.2mm dynamic driver with a custom balanced armature for a bass-forward yet technically capable sound. It offers adjustable tuning via included nozzle filters, letting you tweak the response to taste, while its comfortable, well-built shell and detachable cable add everyday practicality. Though engaging and versatile for the price, it has a slightly recessed midrange and can sound bright or sharp in the upper frequencies on certain tracks.
- Pro:Engaging, bass-forward sound with good impact
- Pro:Adjustable tuning filters for sound customization
- Pro:Strong imaging and technical performance for the price
- Con:Midrange can feel slightly recessed or thin
- Con:Upper mids and treble may occasionally come across as piercing
- Con:No wireless or multipoint features, purely wired use
Truthear x Crinacle ZERO
The Truthear x Crinacle ZERO is a budget-friendly wired IEM with a dual dynamic driver setup that aims for a Harman-style sound signature. It offers a comfortable, stable fit and solid build quality, making it a decent pick for casual listening, though its technical performance and tuning refinement fall short of its pricier sibling. Overall, it's a reasonable value for those seeking a neutral-ish sound on a tight budget, but not without compromises.
- Pro:Comfortable and stable fit
- Pro:Solid build quality with detachable cable
- Pro:Good value for Harman-style tuning
- Con:Bass control and treble refinement could be better
- Con:Technical performance is limited
- Con:Not ideal for gaming due to tuning issues
