What reviewers said

Hidizs MP145 PRO

The Hidizs MP145 Pro is a hybrid-driver in-ear monitor that delivers a near-neutral, technically capable sound with tight bass, clear mids, and airy treble. Its detailed, controlled presentation and strong staging make it a solid value for accuracy-focused listeners, though its large shell and potentially unforgiving upper treble may not suit everyone. The 4.4mm balanced connection and detachable cable add flexibility for audiophile setups.

  • Pro:Detailed and controlled sound with strong imaging
  • Pro:Near-neutral tuning for accuracy-focused listeners
  • Pro:Excellent clarity and layering in mids and treble
  • Con:Bulky shell may be uncomfortable for smaller ears
  • Con:Upper treble can be fatiguing on bright recordings
  • Con:No inline controls or USB-C connectivity

KZ PR1 Pro

Wired-only with a 3.5 mm connector and inline controls, it's a straightforward pick for planar newcomers.

  • Pro:Excellent value for a planar IEM
  • Pro:Clear treble and detailed midrange
  • Pro:Comfortable fit and solid build
