Hidizs MP145 VS BGVP NS10 Pro

Hidizs MP145 is a single-driver planar IEM built around a 14.5 mm planar magnetic transducer (30 Ω, ~104 dB/Vrms), housed in a milled aluminum shell. It ships with screw-on tuning filters that make modest shifts to bass/treble balance rather than rewriting the signature. Hidizs markets the MP145 as calibrated toward the H-2019 target and lists a $199 MSRP (often discounted on the official store).

Sonically, the MP145 presents a U-shaped tuning with an audible sub-bass lift, restrained upper-mid gain, and treble that’s energetic but can show a ~5 kHz edge with a bit of upper-treble sparkle depending on the filter used. Resolution and separation are solid for the price, with fast planar transients and convincing macrodynamic impact; staging is average-wide but imaging locks in positions cleanly. Independent measurements/reviews note the filter set’s subtle effect, good detail retrieval for the bracket, and only moderate air/extension versus the best planars.

Build quality is robust, though the large shells and thick nozzle may challenge smaller ears; weight is ~9.5 g per piece and isolation is decent when sealed well. Given frequent street prices around $129–$159 on the brand store, value is strong for those wanting planar speed with a fun, sub-bass-tilted balance; just don’t expect expansive stage or the most airy treble. Overall, MP145 reads as a well-executed, filter-tweakable planar that prioritizes punch and clarity over ultimate refinement.

The BGVP NS10 is a 10-driver hybrid IEM (2DD + 8BA) built in lightweight aluminium shells with MMCX connectors and interchangeable screw-in tuning filters. Reviews consistently highlight the solid machining, low weight and comfortable, ergonomic fit, as well as the modular 3-in-1 cable and generous accessory set, which is notable at its roughly $170 street price. Other impressions point out that build quality and long-term comfort are strengths, making the NS10 a practical daily-use option rather than just a showpiece.

Tonally, the NS10 follows a neutral-bright, mildly V-shaped tuning that sits fairly close to a Harman-style target, with modest boosts in bass and lower treble. Bass is elevated slightly north of neutral but remains controlled and well-textured, giving kick drums and bass lines weight without masking the midrange, while vocals sit relatively forward and clean rather than recessed. The treble region is a clear focal point: lower treble energy delivers strong clarity and microdetail with good air, but several reviewers note that it can be on the lively side, so treble-sensitive listeners may prefer the more relaxed filter options.

Where the NS10 stands out in its price band is technical performance: multiple reviews emphasise above-average resolution, precise imaging and clean separation, with a stage that is more about well-defined placement and height than sheer width. These traits, combined with the configurable filters, make it attractive for listeners who prioritise detail retrieval and a revealing presentation over a relaxed, warm balance. Considering the competitive $150–$180 segment, the NS10 offers strong performance and tuning flexibility, but its energetic treble and the density of capable rivals mean it is better viewed as a very competent mid-tier option rather than a category-defining outlier in overall value.
