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 SIMGOT SUPERMIX 5 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
SIMGOT SUPERMIX 5
The SIMGOT SUPERMIX 5 is a wired hybrid IEM that pairs a dynamic driver with dual balanced armatures to deliver a tactile, mildly warm sound. It offers well-controlled physical bass, clear vocals, and smooth, non-fatiguing treble, making it a polished and engaging listen. While its technical performance is strong for the price, the midrange could use a bit more richness, and the bone-conduction driver can occasionally be distracting during movement.
- Pro:Physical, well-controlled bass
- Pro:Smooth, non-fatiguing treble
- Pro:Clear vocal reproduction
- Con:Midrange lacks some depth
- Con:Bone-conduction driver can be distracting
- Con:Not ideally suited for active use
Thieaudio Hype 4
The Thieaudio Hype 4 is a hybrid in-ear monitor that delivers a rich, bass-forward sound with a controlled and non-fatiguing tuning, making it a versatile choice for music enthusiasts. Its strong low-end impact, detailed midrange, and good imaging are complemented by an attractive shell, though it has some practical limitations like a non-modular cable and a standard tip selection. Overall, it offers a coherent and engaging listening experience that balances energy and clarity at its price point.
- Pro:Powerful, textured bass with good impact
- Pro:Rich, detailed midrange and clear imaging
- Pro:Attractive shell design and comfortable fit
- Con:Stock cable is not modular
- Con:Treble can occasionally sound sharp
- Con:Vocals may recede slightly with simpler sources
