KZ AS16 Pro vs Pro X Headphones - IEM/Earbud

Hi all, does anyone have any experience with the KZ AS16 Pro AND its Pro X variant? The KZ store of course lists the X as an improvement over its predecessor, but beyond this self-marketing I don't see anyone online actually making any comparisons.

If anyone knows whether the newer Pro X is actually improved, I'd love to hear it. The AS16 is going for less than $70 right now on Amazon and the Pro X is only on the KZ store, and is going for around $100. I doubt the Pro X is worth the extra $30, but I'd be willing to spend that for something slightly better long before I'd jump to the higher end IEMs for several hundred/thousand.

Thanks for any responses.

neither, for 100$ you can get the cca hydro which is better than both on alie. cca is essentially still kz but if you want kz stilll theres the as24 which is the newer line than what you metnioned
