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 2023. 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

Letshuoer DZ4

The Letshuoer DZ4 is a budget-friendly wired IEM that stands out with its unusual triple-dynamic-driver plus passive-radiator setup, offering a neutral-warm and relaxed sound signature. While its build and design are solid for the price, its technical performance—particularly imaging, bass impact, and dynamics—is only average, making it a competent all-rounder rather than a standout in its class. It's an easy recommendation for listeners seeking a safe, flaw-free tuning without aggressive energy.

  • Pro:Unique 3DD + PR driver configuration
  • Pro:Neutral-warm, relaxed tuning that's easy to listen to
  • Pro:Solid build quality for the price
  • Con:Bass impact and dynamics are somewhat lacking
  • Con:Imaging is only average for the price
  • Con:Not class-leading in any specific area

Truthear x Crinacle Zero Red

This wired in-ear monitor pairs a 10 mm and a 7.8 mm dynamic driver in a dual-driver setup, tuned for a warm, natural sound signature. It’s designed to be comfortable for extended listening, making it a solid pick for those who prefer a relaxed, non-fatiguing presentation. With no ANC, it relies on passive isolation from its fit.

  • Pro:Warm, natural tuning for long sessions
  • Pro:Dual dynamic drivers for rich bass and detail
  • Pro:Comfortable fit for extended wear
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Requires a source with enough power (17.5 ohm impedance)
  • Con:Bulky shell may not suit small ears
