Linsoul Hidizs MP145 in-Ear Monitor, 14.5mm Planar Magnetic Driver HiFi Earphone IEMs, Wired Gaming Earbud with Detachable 2Pin OFC Cable for Audiophiles Musicians (Blue, 3.5 mm)

Excellent value and unique sound signature
Summary: I’ve been putting this “little engine that could” through its paces for a little over a month now, and I’m very impressed by both the sound and build quality. I own several planar IEM sets, and this one is truly unique among them in the way in presents the low end and brings the mids forward just a bit. It’s not the most detailed set I have currently, but it’s a fine compromise for a different “thick” presentation that can be more forgiving of poorly mixed music content, but still very competent in the high frequency details. It’s worth the price of admission even at the regular price, but more so if you can catch in on sale.Bass: The low end is where this IEM gets its “thick” character, and seems to add some harmonic content in the mid and upper bass region. It takes away from some detail in the low end, and it’s absolutely not a “bass head” presentation, but rather a sound that could be described as a milkshake or syrup. I assume this thick character is source dependent and my DAC (iFi Zen V2) is a bit warm, so experience on cleaner or warmer sources will most likely vary.Mids: The middle frequencies present just a bit more forward compared to the other IEMs currently in my collection. That, mixed with the thick lows, makes for a very interesting sound scape, that to me, doesn’t really sound like a traditional planar tone. Along with vocals, midrange instruments (guitar, piano, alto brass and woodwind, etc.) all come though the mix nicely with a noticeably smooth presentation.Highs: The highs are presented similarly to my other planar sets, where the details come shining through, but not at all sibilant or fatiguing. They come through with a more crystalline vs. metallic tone, adding to the smooth texture of the overall music presentation. I find that ride cymbals (hit lightly) are especially pleasing to the ear in this tuning, but all other cymbals and high frequency content sounds great with more than enough details to keep things interesting.Sound stage and imaging: The sound stage is rather wide for an IEM, but shallow in depth, which is farily typical. As for the instrument placing, it’s like you’re standing on stage with the band, slightly in front, in a medium sized venue. Most of the instruments (to me) sound like they’re next to me or slightly behind, but easily distinguishable from each other.Accessories: The included 4.4mm balanced cable is of good quality, and has very little “memory” making it easy to manage. The included ear tips are also very good (not usual in my experience), and I’ve been using the medium “balanced” tips with create a perfect seal and are very comfortable. The one thing I didn’t like so much was the included carry bag, so I got a Linsoul “puck” type case, and that’s been working just fine.

Sound terrific but …
Pros: Sound terrific. Decent cable. Sound noticeably alters depending on ear tips used. Bass is very good and treble is not harsh in the least. Comfort and stability are good.Cons: Driver flex, especially right away when inserting them; infrequent (so far) later in the session. IEM’s a relatively weighty vs. others (have a metal enclosure). One of the ear tips came apart as I was trying different varieties. Nozzles are on the bigger size and might be too much for some ears.I was tempted to return these to see if an exchange would bring a set with less driver flex, but once dialed in for my preferred sound signature, I didn’t want to be without them during an exchange period. The bass impact and dimensionality/presence are top-notch. Immersive and addictive. Unique.

Excellent sound. Comfort takes a while
These are a solid upgrade from my ZS10 pro x. Vocals aren’t as prominent but overall clarity and soundstage is noticeably better. Solid build and beautiful packaging and plenty of accessories. Only complaint was at first they were incredibly uncomfortable. Tho as I wear them more the comfort is slowly getting better so maybe my ears just needed to adjust to the larger size. Overall great buy and makes most consumer products like air pods and Bose/Sony earbuds sound like garbage.

These provide very accurate sound without a lot of the planar negatives!They are a bit large, but fit okay in my ears, but if you have smaller ears – you may have an issue.

Je les teste depuis 10 jours, le qualité sonore est sublime.J’ai opté pour les buses roses, elles sont parfaites, parfaitement équilibrées au niveau des basses, sous-basses, médium, aigus, tout est parfaitement maîtrisé et ça fourmille de détails, que ce soit pour la musique ou film, c’est impressionnant de qualité et de précision.Par contre, j’ai un gros problème de boucle de masse (sans doute dû à la basse Impédance), localisé au niveau de la prise jack des écouteurs, impossible de l’atténuer, j’ai utilisé un contrôleur de son, son encore plus pur mais boucle de masse toujours présente (bourdonnement constant, y compris en coupant le son), j’ai testé un séparateur de terre audio, cela atténue totalement la boucle de masse mais dénature le son, je viens d’essayer une prise d’impédance, dénature le son sans atténuer la boucle de masse.Ce qui est terrible, c’est quand tenant la prise jack, ou en la mettant en contact avec ma peau, la boucle de masse est stoppée sans dénaturer la qualité sonore (mon corps semble faire masse), et donc, je n’ai d’autre choix que de retourner ces écouteurs, vraiment dommage car la qualité sonore est parfaite.Je n’ai pas ce problème avec mes écouteurs Sony (50€) et casque Sennheiser (350€), et donc cela vient bien des écouteurs Hidizs MP145.J’arrête là les frais, je les retourne dès demain !Je voulais refaire l’essai avec un remplacement, mais je préfère opté pour les FiiO FH5S qui ont une Impédance à 40 ohms et réputés sans sifflement et bourdonnement avec un son équilibré.
