What reviewers said

Hidizs MP145 PRO

The Hidizs MP145 PRO is a wired single-planar IEM that delivers a bright, mid-focused sound with tight bass, clear vocals, and detailed treble, backed by strong technical performance in layering and imaging. Its near-neutral tuning suits listeners who prioritize accuracy over warmth, though the bulky shell and potentially fatiguing upper frequencies may not suit everyone. At its price, it offers solid value for those who can manage the fit and forgiving source material.

Pro:Excellent clarity and detail retrieval
Pro:Rich, forward mids with strong vocal presence
Pro:Tight and controlled bass response

Con:Large shell may be uncomfortable for smaller ears
Con:Upper treble can cause fatigue on bright tracks
Con:Soundstage feels somewhat confined

Pro:Detachable standard 0.78mm cable for easy upgrades
