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
Kiwi Ears Melody
The Kiwi Ears Melody is a budget-friendly planar IEM that delivers a lively, bass-forward sound with a warm tilt, making it an engaging listen for those who prioritize fun over analytical precision. It offers excellent comfort thanks to its featherweight build, though its technicalities like micro-detail retrieval are only average, and the bundled accessories are basic for the price. Overall, it's a strong value for listeners seeking a distinctive, energetic planar tuning without breaking the bank.
- Pro:Punchy, well-extended bass with a fun, energetic character
- Pro:Very lightweight and comfortable for extended listening sessions
- Pro:Smooth yet lively treble that avoids harshness
- Con:Micro-detail resolution is only average, not highly resolving
- Con:Midrange tonality can sound a bit uneven or recessed
- Con:Accessories and packaging are fairly basic for the cost
