Youtube Video Summary
Hidizs MK12 x DucBloke arrives as a limited-edition single-DD collab with a 12 mm pure magnesium diaphragm, dressed in a striking red shell/nozzle. Pricing sits around $260 (about $240 on pre-order). The package is handsome: a plush, roomy case, a red flat 2-pin cable with clear L/R indicators and a tidy Y-split, plus a 3.5 mm option. Swappable nozzles exist for the MK12 line, but the supplied red nozzle is the standout for the mids—and the one trusted by multiple ears in the scene. Comfort is strong, the shell is vented, and it ships with Divinus Velvet tips.
Tonally, this is an organic, warm, downward-sloping tuning with a thumpy, fun bass, generous width, and an overall rich timbre. It suits R&B and hip-hop especially well; stage feels broad and “concert-like,” vocals come across analog and full. Treble is agreeable rather than flashy—on tracks like “Thriller” the cymbals could use a touch more bite—yet detail retrieval and resolution remain respectable. Not a dead-neutral monitor; more a musical, engaging daily driver for listeners who embrace warmth.
Against peers and prior Hidizs sets, MK12 x DucBloke carries the brand’s better traits with cleaner treble energy than some earlier efforts and a bass shelf that avoids muddle. It echoes the warmth of certain high-end references while adding a bit more upper-treble air. EQ is a playground here: presets like Sparkle (air lift), Neutral (slight sub-bass bump), and Hard-Hitting (more bass, more linear) all work well, and the Jaytiss-tuned profile adds extra air without breaking balance. Final take: a solid “A” fun set with 9/10 bass & dynamics, warm-leaning mids, polite treble, big stage, and strong technical underpinnings—an easy recommendation for those wanting a rich, vented, EQ-friendly single-DD in a gorgeous red suit.

Youtube Video Summary
Hidizs MK12 x DucBloke shows up dressed in the reddest red to ever red, with big, hefty shells and a pointy tail that looks like it could break glass—mercifully harmless once seated. The package includes a unique red 8-wire 4.4mm cable and a pile of tips that are basically the same “ball” style in different sizes. Build feels solid and weighty, though one connector sleeve reportedly slipped off and needed a dab of glue. It’s a collab tied to DucBloke’s PEQ profiles (pre-order via a Google Sheet), but the pitch here isn’t DSP-first—this one already hits hard in stock form.
Under the hood sits a single 12 mm dynamic with that MK12 magnesium diaphragm lineage, tuned for fast, hard-hitting bass that slams like dead-blow hammers. Sub-bass digs deep, mid-bass punches, and yet the top stays lively with sparkly treble and a solid soundstage that throws shakers and effects convincingly around the head. Crucially, it sounds good without PEQ—a sharp contrast to sets that need baked-in DSP to function (cue the Dusk 2 rant). DucBloke’s presets exist (there’s even a “bass murder” flavor), but the default tuning already scratches the basshead itch.
Price is expected around $250 (sub-$300 target), which puts this squarely in “basshead value” territory versus pricier rumble machines like Martillo (~$350) or Mega5EST Bass+ (~$550). Downsides: very big and heavy shells, that decorative point, and more bass than neutrality seekers will want. For anyone craving an affordable, sauce-drenched low-end with engaging treble and no mandatory EQ hoops, MK12 x DucBloke is basserrific—a fun, vivid sledgehammer that still keeps its shimmer.

The Hidizs MK12 × DucBloke is a special-tuned edition built on the MK12 “Turris” platform, which uses a single 12 mm dynamic driver with a 91% magnesium diaphragm and a 1.5 T magnet system inside a CNC-milled metal shell. The base MK12 includes three swappable pneumatic filters and retails around $199 (often $179 on sale), with Hidizs officially confirming the DucBloke collaboration and demos at CanJam SoCal 2025.
Tonal balance with the MK12 platform is broadly warm U-shaped and can be shifted via the filters: Silver lifts treble, Rose Gold/Gold aims for a balanced profile, and Red boosts low frequencies while relaxing the upper mids—behavior documented across launch materials and reviews. This aligns with independent measurements/impressions noting the red filter’s fuller bass and the silver filter’s added upper-energy, giving the DucBloke edition a clear path toward a bass-weighted yet smooth top end.
Technical performance is competitive in the sub-$200 class: reviewers consistently describe a spacious soundstage, convincing imaging, and strong dynamics for a single-DD, while ultimate micro-detail and treble air are good rather than class-leading. With the right filter and tips, the set offers solid clarity without harshness and bass impact that should satisfy listeners seeking weight and physicality. Overall, the value proposition is strong at its street price, especially if the DucBloke tuning prioritizes the red-filter’s engaging low-end.
