This review is positive overall, especially on build quality, comfort, bass speed, and fit. The critique is that the mids can sound a bit hazy and the upper treble is subdued, so it is not presented as the most resolving budget planar.

Hidizs MP143 Salt Review & Comparison

71/100
AndyAudioVault8.5K viewsAug 2024

The reviewer finds the Hidizs MP143 Salt to be a worthy successor to the MP145, retaining the same high level of technical performance and musicality, especially when using the silver tuning nozzle. While the default gold nozzle offers a smoother, more Harman-tuned sound that the reviewer personally dislikes, the silver nozzle restores the engaging, fast, and open character of the MP145. The main drawbacks are poor isolation and seal due to the nozzle design, but overall the reviewer considers it the best magnetic planar IEM of 2024, scoring it 71 out of 100.

Hidizs MP143 Salt Review

Prime Audio Reviews3.5K viewsAug 2024

The reviewer finds the Hidizs MP143 Salt to be an outstanding planar IEM with excellent technical performance, closely matching the pricier MP145 in sound quality. However, the fit is finicky and may require large ear tips, and the reviewer suggests that at the same price, the Simgot S08 offers better value despite slightly lower fidelity.
