HIDIZS - MP145

safer tuning versus the more classic bright planar tuning. warm but not dark like s08 size + weight can be a dealbreaker for some though

Of all the IEMs I have, for some reason, the one I like the most is the Aful Explorer. I also have the Kefine Klean, Kefine Delci Ae, Sivga Que, Kiwi Ears Airoso, Lesthouer S08, Simgot EW300, Hidizs MP143, and MP145. All of these IEMs have a somewhat neutral, warm signature, but they all have excellent, very different sounds. I recommend the Aful Explorer, it's the best without a doubt. I won't tell you about the Hidizs MP145 because they're too big and can have adjustment problems if you have a narrow ear canal. Another thing I recommend is that you play with different types of cables and eartips, they can make a difference.

I used them on a show, I'd say they are pretty decent and solid iems I have used till now.

Crinear Daybreak. Truthear Nova. AFUL Explorer. Juzear Defiant. Artti T10 Pro. Hidisz MP145 (these are big and chonky though, not for everyone) Ziigaat Arcadia. Wait for sales from 11/11 and BLack Friday. Otherwise you will be paying an inflated price (all of the companies up prices before slashing them. Typical retail bullshit games)

"Soundstage" is purely subjective, and completely based on your ears and your brain. You only have one ear drum. All of the interpretations of height, width, and depth, are estimations by your brain, based upon delays, tone shift, doppler effect, etc. etc. hitting your outer ear, having the sound wave augmented, and then finally making its way into your ear drum, where those are "processed" by your brain, and through your brains understanding of learning through early life, you can pinpoint the location. When you insert an IEM in your ear, NONE of that is happening. You are basically bypassing all of what your brain knows, understands, and interprets as "spatial sound stage", and ignores it. So, your brain does what it does, and tries to make the best sense of it. And takes the delays in the drivers topology, timing, frequency response, and whatever modalities or resonance it might have in your ear, and tries to interpret that as positional audio. And sometimes, its not always right. For example, the EW300's dont work in my ears at ALL. They sound like shit, like they have bad ANC enabled, and im missing half the frequencies, and have no depth, or nuance whatsoever. Most recently, the Kefine Quatio, a set that i really enjoy, gives me a wear sensation that sound is coming from behind and down on certain tones. Yet other IEMs i have, like my MP145's, give me this massive room sensation where the perceived soundstage is almost too big. So, keep in mind that anytime anyone is talking about "soundstage" in an IEM, they should really be calling it "Personal Brain Stage", because it is completely individual, and always anecdotal. Sure, there are some constants that can be applied in the areas of psycho acoustics, and certain basic inferences that can be made with 3D mics, but in general...your ear will hear everything differently than everyone else. Its not a "meme" like some ignorant reviewers like to call it, but it is unique to the listener, and cant really be given a broad one size fits most approach to how people will hear it.

Great post! I’ve used the EM6L for a long time and was very satisfied. At some time I wanted to try planar and got the Hidizs MP145, let me tell you – it’s blows the EM6L out of the water! Everything I loved about the EM6L was multiplied, huge soundstage and great separation with super deep and clean bass.

The MP145 should suite you well! The soundstage is by far the widest I’ve experienced, as well as stellar differentiation between every note and tone to produce an unmatched resolution to my ear. There’s no need for an additional power source, these IEMs can be easily driven. Of course a little more power does benefit them, but is not mandatory. The tonal range is very extended, especially compared to your mentioned device, which are literally hard to compare (no offense). Which means that the IEM can be quite bright, but at the same time incredibly low and bassy. I’ve never find it to be too bright, just very powerful. There are also different tips and nozzles included, to fine tune the IEM to your preferences.

The MP145 is the way to go! The only thing which does the EM6L „better“ is size. They are quite small and do really disappear inside your ear. The 145 are quite big in comparison, what never ever bothers me, especially while I am sitting at my desk. The wider soundstage is really unmatched with the 145 which I really like. The hole dynamic range of the planar drivers can also be otherworldly and is awesome for intensive games.

Anytime! Hope you’ll be as satisfied as I am. It’s my first IEM where I hadn’t any need to apply an EQ in any way, perfect balance imo. I also upgraded the cable and tips, which isn’t necessary but elevates the experience. Spinfits W1 tips and the Tripowin Zonie 16 core cable.

I'm definitely loving this set.

I have these as well and an mp145. The mp145 is much better and worth the higher price. 

I have an MP145. It's great for damn near anything, a little spicy at 8khz, kinda bright overall but not sibilant or too harsh, and I think it needs more bass. I just add 6db at 31hz. They're bulky and heavy but do everything well. If I had to get another I'd get a Kiwi Aether.

Chu 2 competes with my mp145 if youre not paying attention to the lushness. The T10 is probably better but for the $20 bracket the chu 2 is an easy win because its so tiny itll fit in anybodies ears. 

I can increase bass on my mp145 but it's nowhere near my zero red matched to a singularity but the bass is nice and deep. 

I use my chu2 more than my mp145. It obv doesnt have as exciting of mids but the fit is too good.

Yes, will be too bright for u

Started with the Thieaudio Hype 2. Sold those and bought the Xenns Mangird Top with the 7hz Thunderbird cable. Like jewelry. Matched perfectly. Sound was just as incredible. Love them. My wife stole them and said what Xenns Top? She uses them with the Divinus Velvet Wide Bore smalls. Got the Hidizs MP145 cuz I have huge ears and wanted a planar. Then got the Thieaudio Hype 10, and damn they're good. Then Fatfreq got with HBB and created a goddamn mess for months, but when the Deuce got here.....slammin bass. Then Thieaudio came out with the Oracle Mk3 and holy shit I was in heaven. Bought the Kiwiears Punch just cuz ultimate bass, but I hardly use them. Since the wife snatched the Top it's a toss up of the Oracle Mk3, Hype 10 and the MP145, with the Oracle being first

I recently tried the S12 Pro, S12 Anniversary, Timeless II, Timeless AE, Simgot ET142, Artti T10, Hidisz MP145, and Zetian Wu Legend. It's tough to pick a personal favorite since they all have their pros and cons, but if I had to choose, my top picks would probably be: * Timeless II or Timeless AE (whichever is cheaper). I like the Timeless II, but it can be prone to sibilance. The Timeless AE isn't as sibilant, but its upper treble is definitely a bit too much for me. * Simgot ET142. These are actually really good. The bass reminds me of the Timeless II/AE and the treble isn't as harsh as, say the S12 Pro. My only issue is the apparent peak in the upper-mids. * S12 Pro. Mostly because they're one of the cheapest options and the fit is easy as hell. They don't lack in technicalities compared to the rest either but yeah, the treble can be a bit too much for me. * Lastly, the MP145. The fit can be tricky, but when I get a good seal, they're good. Plus in my country they can be cheaper than the S12 Pro. As for the Artti T10, I had a hard time getting a good fit so I'll probably pass on that one. Still haven't tried the Zetian Wu Heyday or the Kiwi Ears Aether tho.
