Yonex’s Ezone 100 and Head’s Speed MP are popular with intermediate players who are looking for a racket that offers good power and spin.
In the article below, I will look at the specs of both rackets to see how the 2022 versions of these rackets compare to each other.

For the below comparison, I have used the 2022 editions of each racket, rather than the newer 2024 editions.
Main Differences: The Ezone 100 has a slightly higher strung weight (11.2oz vs 11.1oz), a lower swing weight (317 vs 318), a higher frame stiffness rating (67 vs 62), and a thicker beam width (23.8mm / 26.5mm / 22.5mm vs 23mm) when compared with the Speed MP.

Player Level Recommendations
In my opinion, both rackets are best used by intermediate tennis players as beginners will find them too heavy, and more advanced players will want more control.
If you are an advanced tennis player, then the Speed MP will suit you better as it offers more control, and decent spin and is a relatively arm-friendly frame to play with.
The Ezone 100 will be the better option if you need some help generating power on your shots.
