I agree ! They're phenomenal 😮 I'm a professional musician so I know how the sound is in real life... And this set is really great (planar is a game changer for the sound, timbre, speed...) They sound like a mini Audeze to me. (I have the excellent Audeze MM-100 EQ with Oratory) so thanks for the comparison with the Shure. that says a lot about sound quality... I also fine the tuning very good exept the uper mids which are too far forward. But with the red nozzles and the voice tips, I find this the closest setting to a neutral sound so far (and without losing resolution, at least to my ears) Thanks for this review 🙏😎👍

Kudos to you, Andy! With your honest review and in-depth coverage, I bought my first IEM and dongle DAC: Tanchjim Zero & iBasso DC03 Pro. I am enjoying them greatly! I haven't had a chance to audition any planar magnetics so I hope to seek your advice - what major differences would I notice from my single dynamic driver IEM? Which dongle DAC pairs well with the MP145? Lastly, is there a stark difference between unbalanced and balanced option? My music of choice varies: ballads, jazz, pop and live recordings. I prefer a more neutral|balanced sound signature IEM. I appreciate your opinion and thanks again for igniting the fire in my audiophile journey!

@donglemadness

10 ай бұрын

Thanks Ryan. The main difference between a DD and Planar is the transient speed at which planar are natively faster (more potential for more resolution). Only well-tuned DD can match a planar speed for speed. Then there's the timbre of which it is hard to explain unless you spend time with it because not everyone will be able to adapt to the technical nature of planars (which you may find them often describing planars as having planar timbre, LOL!). Ultimately that subject will depend on taste and preferences. To me I like to be open and accept each different driver tech for what they offer. MP145, if you ask me sounds the best with the likes of HIBY FC6 or CEntrance DACport HD, since you didn't mention budget constraints. Otherwise, your iBasso DC03Pro will already be one of the best to pair with it, but if you want a bit more of uncolored presentation with wider headroom, iBasso DC04Pro or RU7 has it in spades. Then the significance of 3.5mm SE to 4.4mm BAL is not in the plug itself, but in the DAC/Amps that you use. In this review you can see clearly, I use Burson Audio Playmate 2 which is a 3.5mm SE only DAC/Amp and that thing is about the most beautiful sounding desktop DAC/Amp I have listened to so far. So, if you have a DAC that has 4.4mm and 3.5mm SE, then use 4.4mm option (because they normally offer their 100% from the 4.4mm BAL, and 50% reduced output from the 3.5mm SE), otherwise on 3.5mm only system like FC6 and DACport HD, both my all-time No.1 among many). Hope this helps.

You already have an amazing KARA incoming so I would recommend that you spend time on KARA first to appreciate the sound it offers. The tuning of KARA is slightly different from the more energetic MP145 and since you already have PR2, that would suffice to keep you entertained now. When you are ready to step up from PR2, MP145 is what I would recommend because MP145 appeal being the airy speedy transients and overall balance which I like a lot. KARA on the other hand is a very smooth operator that has equally great balance too. So you are not losing anything here by not getting both at the same time

You will need to specifically allow an "unknown" APK to run on your Android phone or else the installation will never happen. Once you have that instance successfully installed, TTGK can update itself the moment you load it up, there will be a prompt.

My listening preferences can be different from you, and that's normal because that's the nature of human biology affected by individual sensitivity, also a matter of taste and preferences.

i could cry T^T i'm willing to save up some money for this (and maybe fosi audio ks02) but they just look honking huge. and the nozzle lip being nearly 7mm?! can you recommend another iem at a similar price point and similar sound characteristics? it could be any driver, but i like your description about it being a speed demon across the frequencies, but still a deep and vibrant sub bass. no matter how good it sounds, i'd regret buying it if i can't wear it for more than an hour. please recommend a similar iem, but smaller in overall size and a nozzle diameter less than 6mm. thank you!

Awesome review here. Could you help me with a purchase decision? Currently using the T3+ and quite enjoying it but would like to have an upgrade. My preferences: - forward and engaging vocal - treble not piercing or shouty - high quality bass - similar or higher quantity of bass as T3+, not a basshead though, just a bass enjoyer - overall better technicality than T3+ Genres: R&b, soul, Indie bedroom pop, hiphop I've also tried: - Moondrop Chu: Too flat and the bass is too low for me - Zero: RED (with the bass boost adapter): Better bass and less forward vocal than T3+. Overall not enough of an upgrade over T3+ for me These are what I'm considering: - Hidizs MP145 - TANGZU x HBB Wu Heyday - Tripowin x HBB Olina SE - Ikko OH10 - Truthear Nova Ignoring the price difference, which IEM do you think best matches my preferences in overall? Or do you have better recommendations? Thanks

@donglemadness

6 ай бұрын

From what you described there of your needs, I think moving from T3+ would be Gizaudio Galileo, closer match to your preferences than any of the IEMs you listed. I love both MP145 and Heyday but since you mentioned you may be sensitive to energetic Treble, best not to risk that with magnetic planar speedy dynamic transients which many has regarded as "brighter", especially if the person is so very well versed with single DD safe tuning (T3+ is safe tuned). But if you want to spend a bit more then SIVGA Nightingale is what I would recommend the foremost, the smoothest organic sounding planars I have tried ever with rich Mids presentation and texture, also not forgetting airy decays

@lyh01

@@donglemadness Thanks for the detailed reply, I probably won't go for the Sivga for now due to budget issue, but I'd like to add some more contexts here regarding Galileo. Another reason why I enjoy the T3+ is the slight v-shape 'fun' tuning with decent quantity of bass and forward vocal. I watched and read some Galileo reviews and saw quite a few people think that the bass lacks in quantity, punchiness, authority, and just the overall performance and 'fun' factor. Some said that it sounds restrained or even straightup boring. I compare its FR graph with the less bassy options on my list (Heyday & Olina SE), while they graph similarly in terms of bass quantity, people don't share the same negative sentiment about their bass seemingly because they still have very high bass performance compared to the Galileo. It also graphs similarly to the Hexa which lots of people said would be too neutral to me. I'm not a basshead but I'm still a bass enjoyer so I would still want somewhat fun and engaging bass, at least similar quantity to the T3+, not like the Chu. About the treble sensitivity, I think I'm probably fine as long as it's not an IEM known for this issue such as the S12 Pro. I probably have lots of misconceptions here which I hope you would clear up for me. Do you think I would find the Galileo not 'fun' and engaging enough or would you still recommend it?

@@lyh01It's hard for me to imagine what you will like, that's why we have so many options to satisfy different needs and preferences, if you don't think S12 Pro is bright then definitely Hidizs MP145 is the one I would wholeheartedly recommend, that is one set hard to find fault, at least from my perspective, MP145 would make Galileo sounded meek in comparison, assuming you would assume Galileo being "not exciting" without actually trying it, you would be surprised what people perceive nowadays, I even heard some people describe BLON BL03 being bright, imagine my surprise

@@residentzero If BL03 is the type of sound you like than I am afraid you will dislike all other top IEMs, you even call EW200 sibilant which is so smooth to many others. So best to stick with BL03 because there's no other IEM as slow and warm as BL03 with that thick coloration and rolled off extensions on upper frequency, You even call Aria Dull so it means you will also dislike Harman U curve of which 90% of new IEMs are based on today

Tangzu zetian wu VS this, what is better?

@donglemadness

10 ай бұрын

If you mean the purple Zetian Wu, then MP145 is a superior IEM to me

Are these as relaxed as the Tin T2? I know these are different classes, I just ask because I've heard reviews describe the T2 as chill, but in my own experience it's treble can edge into harshness. The IEM I'm saving for is either the Moondrop Kato or the SeeAudio Yume Ultra II, but after watching this review I'm feeling seduced by the Hidizs MP145's transient performance - attack, stage and imaging are the most important to me.

@donglemadness

10 ай бұрын

I am not familiar with T2. But from what you mentioned, it seems that you have high sensitivity to upper frequencies. MP145 is a sparkly sounding IEMs and that is to be expected of any IEMs that offer amazing transient responses, the likes of KSE1500, Etymotic ER4SR, Final Audio A5000 all are speed demons. But, going back to MP145, this is where the Red Nozzle would probably work for someone like you, it offers some dampening but does not sacrifice the speed. Also, it would appear that you may find Tanchjim KARA to suit your needs, it is among the ones that I like for being fast yet smooth. If you ever listened to HiFiMan HE400SE Stealth magnetic planar headphone, MP145 has similar sound to that unit, except that I would say MP145 is a better sounding one between those two. hope this helps
