What reviewers said

Hidizs MP145

The Hidizs MP145 is a wired planar magnetic IEM featuring a large 14.5mm driver, delivering a spacious and detailed sound with impressive bass and treble extension. It offers strong technical performance and excellent value for its price, though it requires a capable source to shine due to its lower sensitivity. Overall, it's a well-regarded option for enthusiasts seeking a lively and layered listening experience.

  • Pro:Detailed treble and impactful bass
  • Pro:Great overall value for a planar IEM

Westone AM Pro X20 Earphones

The Westone AM Pro X20 is a premium dual-driver wired IEM designed with stage performers and critical listeners in mind, offering crisp vocal reproduction and a natural tonal balance. Its standout feature is an ambient pass-through system that lets outside sound in, which aids on-stage awareness but reduces noise isolation and can compromise the soundstage. While it excels at clarity and comfort, the low end is notably restrained, making it less suited for bass-heavy genres.

  • Pro:Excellent vocal clarity and instrument separation
  • Pro:Natural, balanced tonality
  • Pro:Very comfortable fit for extended wear
  • Con:Bass response is lean and lacks depth
  • Con:Ambient pass-through reduces isolation and may leak sound
  • Con:Soundstage feels somewhat confined due to the open design
