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 KZ PRX 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
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
TinHifi T3 Plus
The TinHifi T3 Plus is a budget-friendly wired IEM that prioritizes a balanced, genre-versatile sound signature with a bass-boosted neutral profile and smooth treble. Its updated acrylic shell and 10mm LCP dynamic driver offer solid build quality and comfort, making it an easy recommendation for its price, though it doesn't push technical boundaries like resolution or imaging to top-tier levels.
- Pro:Well-tuned, balanced sound with smooth treble
- Pro:Comfortable and attractive acrylic build
- Pro:Versatile across genres with good female vocals
- Con:Average bass texture and resolution
- Con:Imaging and macrodynamics are not class-leading
- Con:Slightly forward upper-midrange
