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
MOONDROP ARIA 2
The Moondrop Aria 2 is a wired dynamic-driver IEM that refines the original's tuning with clearer mids and a more balanced tonal character, though it trims the low-end punch. Its build quality and cable are solid for the price, and it offers good imaging and soundstage, but the large nozzle and heavier shells may affect comfort for some listeners. Overall, it's a well-rounded performer for its class, though not a major technical leap forward.
- Pro:Excellent clarity and detail for the price
- Pro:Solid build quality and good stock cable
- Pro:Coherent sound with good dynamics and imaging
- Con:Bass is leaner than expected, not for bassheads
- Con:Upper mids can sound shouty on some tracks
- Con:Large nozzle may be uncomfortable for some
