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 Hidizs MS2 PRO 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.

Celest Gumiho

Pro:Good soundstage and imaging for the price

Con:Treble lacks sparkle and can distort at times

Con:Bass can distort at higher volumes

Hidizs MS2 PRO

The Hidizs MS2 PRO is a budget-friendly hybrid IEM pairing a 10.2mm dynamic driver with a custom balanced armature for a bass-forward yet technically capable sound. It offers adjustable tuning via included nozzle filters, letting you tweak the response to taste, while its comfortable, well-built shell and detachable cable add everyday practicality. Though engaging and versatile for the price, it has a slightly recessed midrange and can sound bright or sharp in the upper frequencies on certain tracks.

Pro:Adjustable tuning filters for sound customization
Pro:Strong imaging and technical performance for the price

Con:Midrange can feel slightly recessed or thin
