Score breakdown
Each axis is a 0–10 blend of what reviewers scored, not a lab measurement.
Tangzu Waner S.G leads on 4 of 5 measures.
- Kiwi Ears Belle
- Tangzu Waner S.G
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?
The Kiwi Ears Belle 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.
