One of the best IEMS under $300. Shells look large but fit is surprisingly good and very comfy. Tuning nozzles actually work - I like the balanced setting but all of them sound good. Great techs, great tuning. Can't really ask for more for what they cost.

Comment: Not the typical chifi sound. Warm, smooth tuning. Balanced sounding and one of, if not, the most natural reproduction of instrumentals at this price Slower bass decay may not gel well with the fastest of tracks, treble on tame side

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.
