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: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
YanYin Canon II

Two onboard tuning switches let you adjust between four distinct sound signatures, making it a flexible choice for audiophiles who like to tailor their listening experience. Priced around $379, it delivers a rich, engaging performance without any wireless or noise-canceling features.

- Pro:Natural timbre from the biological diaphragm dynamic driver
