(The DAP is the Hidizs AP 30 Music Boy, the IEMs are the Fosi IM4s and the cable is an orange 8 core OpenHeart cable)

Now I just have to figure out how to get a bunch of flac files of some of my favorite playlists. I have a playlist that is super low res! I pretty much use Tidal exclusively. But I was an 80s/90s kid so this adorable little guy immediately caught my attention. Also it matches perfectly with my Fosi IM4s and orange OpenHeart cable. If I were a SF Giants fan I wouldn't be able to not have this exact setup lol. I really like the other aluminum version they have. The purple with bright green buttons.

It's funny cuz I watched Mark's review (Super*Reviews) and he had mentioned a handheld called the Miyoo Mini and I started my search aaaand now I'm charging it after just receiving it today. (Totally not audio related) But it's definitely retro. Ahh, nostalgia is always a serotonin release for me.

(The pictures include the Hidizs MP145 Pros (aluminum, the gold and the blue versions. The DAP is the Hidizs AP 80 Pro Max. A gold Xhins Cable, A gold 4 braid cable that actually came with a budget set of IEMs, the CVJ Nekos, A blue Culemi Cable, and the stock cable. And a picture of most of my IEMs and portable sources. To much to list🤦‍♂️)

Disclaimer: I'm not treble sensitive.

But I have a theory, that just like foods, you can acquire a taste for it. And it pays dividends if you do. I'm not sure though so trust your ears, not mine.

I'm a huge fan of the hobby and the community. My worst fear is to steer someone in the wrong direction. So I want to share some of my favorite IEMs that I really enjoy in my collection aside from the MP145 Pros...

(Not that their sonic characteristics are like the MP145 Pros but it just gives insight into some of my go-to IEMs)

I own a lot of IEMs, and I can usually find something to appreciate in almost all of them. But I only write reviews when something genuinely stands out. When I have one of those rare experiences that reminds me why I fell into this hobby in the first place.

This is one of those times.

My goal with writing this isn’t to tell you what to buy. It’s to share an experience so that if you’re curious, you can dig deeper, explore more opinions, and maybe end up hearing your music in a way you never have before.

My first impressions and a little context...

I got the MP145 Pros on March 7th, the day I went to CanJam NYC. It’s become a bit of a tradition for me and my best friend (who isn't an audiophile, which is actually kinda useful). He doesn’t care about hype, price, or brands. So when something stands out to him, it makes me feel like completely fresh take. Not from someone that reads graphs or gets wrapped up in hype. (Which admittedly, I can do sometimes.)

Although he does have an ear for audio to an extent, because we were heavily into the car audio world when we were younger. So he's kinda the perfect person for me to bring to CanJam.

When I first saw the frequency response graph, I was honestly worried. Compared to the original MP145, there was less sub-bass, more presence, and less upper treble air. On paper, that didn’t look like a direction I’d prefer.

But when I got some in-ear time with 'em, it immediately started to make sense.

My theory on their tuning choices...

What Hidizs did actually feels like... Maybe they know a little more about tuning an IEM than me lol. It ended up being a teaching lesson for me though cuz I learned a few things about frequency response and how to be a better graph sniffer.

They slightly reduced the sub-bass which lowers masking.

They boosted the presence/lower treble region in order to increase clarity and focus.

Then, something I thought was the key to instrument separation, they reduced upper air. But it turns out you can have your cake and eat it too because all this did was eliminate the "planar timbre" that I thought I was immune to.

It turns out that I never consciously realized that I noticed it until I experienced planar IEMs that were tuned to be more natural sounding. It's weird, but I suppose everything is relative.

All of those tuning decisions paired with a high magnetic flux planar driver equaled even tighter control over attack and decay.

The end result became what feels like a cheat code for hearing every single sound when I listen to my favorite playlists.

So ultimately this was my personal experience...

I’ve never had an easier time focusing on individual instruments or subtle background details. With the MP145 Pro, everything just separates.

This is one of those rare sets where you go:

🤔💭 Wait… I've heard this song a million times at a minimum and never knew there was a maraca shaking quietly in the right channel!!

Songs I’ve heard for decades started revealing new layers, textures, effects, atmosphere, and background elements that were always there but never this obvious.

Here's the best way I can describe it...

It reminds me of the first time I switched from cassette to CD as a kid. The leap from, "everything sounds clumped together", to "everything sounds like it's got its own channel". That’s what these feel like.

---------

Technical Performance (What Matters to Me the Most)

My priorities are pretty specific, so this might help you gauge whether we align:

• Instrument separation: Probably the best in my collection which

is approximately 60 sets ranging between $20-$500

I know, I need help lol🤦‍♂️

• Layering: Basically the other word I use to describe

separation but these adjectives are kind of ambiguous. So I just

wanna make sure I'm explaining correctly.

• Imaging: Precise and easy to localize sounds

• Low masking: Nothing feels buried or smeared together

• Attack & decay: Fast, clean, and controlled. High-flux magnetic

planar driver advantages implemented the way my ears have

been waiting to hear! As I previously mentioned, it made me a

little more aware of "planar timbre" because the MP145 Pros

don't have it. They're definitely felt more natural.

When I was comparing them with other full

size planar IEMs I was like, ohh, that's what everyone was

talking about.

Side note: I'd say the Letshuoer Astralises also didn't have that

typical "planar sound" either. But, they don't have a lot of the

other things that I desire though.

For treble sensitive people, they might be a good choice but they

weren't for me.

For me, "technicalities" implies how well an IEM does instrument separation/layering, stereo separation, and imaging, not just how it’s tuned. And to my ears, the MP145 Pros excel at these quality as good or better than anything else I own.

---------

Tonality & Tuning \~

Although I'm starting to pay a little more attention to it, tonality takes a bit of a backseat for me.

A lot of IEMs in the $200-$500 range are tuned somewhat similarly. But this set stands out because of how its tuning supports its technical performance.

Reducing air and sub-bass wasn’t a downgrade. It was a trade-off that improved clarity, realism, and focus.

It also helps avoid that unnatural "planar timbre" that some people notice.

---------

Build, Design, and Fit-

The MP145 Pros might look like the OGs at first glance, but the differences become more noticeable when you have them in hand.

They still have full aluminum shells and a special edition titanium version🤤

The first set I got was on the day I went to CanJam NYC '26. They have a matte gold anodization with a sheen that plays with the light and has a sweet chatoyance.

When they were globally released, I ended up getting a set of blue ones on Amazon cuz I was originally torn between the 2 colors. And because I love 'em so much I have scenarios where a second set could be useful to me.

One is that I'm REALLY trying to get my best friend into the hobby and he was obsessed with them when we went to CanJam. So I figure, if I let him borrow a set, that just might be the right bait to reel in the big fish lol.

It would be so much fun if he was into it like me. We could trade sets and geek out. This is my dream situation!

Now back to the design...

They have a deeper, sculpted faceplate design (the "whale tail" motif looks more dimensional this time)

Impeccable machining and finish!

If you’re into things like CNC work or anodized metals the quality really stands out. (I collect folding knives, so I have a tendency to focus on these things),

They also improved usability:

• Narrower, longer nozzle that allows for a deeper insertion

• Smaller more refined shape to the interchangeable nozzles

(I generally prefer the tuning of red nozzles which is what I used

during my review).

• Much better compatibility with tips

The included Sea Anemone tips are a highlight. They’re comfortable, seal well, and are sonically "transparent".

They're by far my favorite tips. I wish I found them before spending egregious amounts of money on all the super hyped up tips lol.

---------

Fit Note

The shells are still large.

Hidizs improved insertion depth with the nozzle redesign, which helps a lot, but if you struggle with bigger IEMs, this is something to keep in mind. I also suggest that if the ear hooks are not securely tucked behind your ears, and this is general practice for me personally, to Google the hairdryer method of reshaping IEM ear hooks. I do this almost every time I get new IEMs or a new cable.

---------

Listening Highlights

I generally listen to them with my Fiio BTR17 on high gain at a volume level of between 15 and 20 depending on the track.

IMO, LDAC and Apt-X Lossless capable DAC/amps seem to boost the lows and attenuate the highs a little. But don't take away the instrument separation I crave.

They don't seem to require as much volume as other sets to feel completely immersed.

A few tracks that stood out while taking notes:

(These were random notes I wrote down for myself that I I was

planning on just using for the review but I figure I'd include them)

(Song title->Track->Thoughts)

• Purple Sun - Cannons: kick drums in the intro had a super

satisfying sound and nice nice punch

• Rhyme or Reason - Eminem: layer & clarity during the beginning

• Somebody’s Watching Me - Rockwell: spatial detail

• New Religion - Bebe Rexha, Faithless: opening vocals stood out.

Accurate without removing the effect put on the vocals during

recording. I feel like the Sivga Que's suffer from over accurate

vocals that tend to remove vocal effects a bit (imo).

• Lunch - Billie Eilish: impeccable stereo contrast and separation,

great vocals that accentuate the spacious effect applied to

them

• Pretty Girls - Reneé Rapp: chorus legit sounded end game

• Constellations - Annisse (Beautiful. This was what really gave

me insight to tone & timbre) just audio perfection to my ears.

These tracks made it incredibly easy to pick apart individual elements without effort.

---------

A Note on Subjectivity (Important)

I want to be very clear about something:

There is no such thing as a universal "best IEM ever."

What we hear is influenced by our HRTF (our personal "sonic fingerprint") our music preferences, and the volume level that we listen at.

I recommend reading multiple opinions.

Especially from both experienced listeners AND casual listeners.

Interestingly, I’ve found that highly trained listeners can sometimes become VERY jaded, not just because they’ve heard tons of better gear, but because they’ve trained themselves to listen differently. They don't listen casually. It's unfortunately a byproduct of doing tons of reviews.

That doesn’t make their opinions wrong, but it might make them less relatable to the average listener.

---------

Personal Take

This set gave me one of those rare experiences where music feels new again.

Late nights, rediscovering playlists, hearing details I didn’t know existed... that’s what I chase. It's a priceless experience. That can potentially cost less than you'd think.

For me, the MP145 Pros deliver that better than anything else I currently own.

Are they "endgame"?

For me, they’re as close as I’ve gotten so far.

But for you they might be too bright. I just saw a "speed run" review some by Axel from Gizaudio and he wasn't a fan. It made me question whether I should post this review. Which is probably why YouTube reviewers that do this for a living don't watch other reviews before they post theirs. But I don't do this for a living, I do it as a fan of music and hifi, with a desire to share my input. So as much as I like Gizaudio and Axel, I personally don't think I could review an IEM without spending 2 to 3 weeks with it then doing some A/B comparisons. But everyone has their own process. I don't wanna question question other people's methods.

(Well, I kind of do but to be polite I don't) Which is why I try to explain my method so you know where I'm coming from. And instead of spitting out a bunch of specs and graphs, I just want to share my experience with an IEM that I fell in love with after 60 sets that I also liked, and sometimes loved... Just not as much as these.

---------

Final Thoughts

I can’t say these will hit the same way for you.

But I can say this...

If you care about instrument separation, layering, and hearing deeper into your music without it feeling forced or analytical… these are absolutely worth your attention.

Don’t take my word for it exclusively. Use this as a starting point.

I definitely recommend exploring other opinions, esp. from people that you feel have similar sonic preferences as you.

But if these IEMs click for you the way they did for me…

You’re in for something special. ✌️💙🎶

You’re in for something special. ✌️💙🎶

I know Artpical as a brand. And I know they usually make unique looking IEMs and are $400ish ++ but I found one on Ali that I'm in love with. And honestly, I'm willing to roll the dice when it comes to sound quality cuz I like em that much.

But I want to make sure they're legit. Does anyone know about the Artpical Raphael? I'll post a few pics from the product page on Ali. I didn't see anything about them on Artpical's website so that's already a bad sign.

If anyone has them please post a picture of yours if u can and any info would be GREATLY appreciated!

I don't know how much longer I could keep my thumb from clicking purchase!

So after doing the eartip marathon I've decided to put Hidizs Sea Anemone tips on my most frequently listened to IEMs and HE Sonics eartips on my more budget oriented IEMs. Both have the sonic transparency I'm after and they both seem to easily form a seal. But I do find the Sea Anemones to be more comfortable and more versatile (I could use all 3 sizes depending on insertion depth).

Well, upon opening the packaging of one of the boxes of HE Sonics, I was greeted with a sketchy white powder on the plastic casing and some of the eartips.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I hope it's something innocuous like some type of powder that keeps the rubber from warping but I grew up during then anthrax days so it kinda gave me flashbacks.

On the volume dial! Cuz they sound good and I want the volume louder. What did you think I meant?

Oh ah, what cuz they're pretty looking? Ahh. I don't even like butterflies anymore.😜🤣🤣🤣🤣😜

The sexy af IEMs are the EPZ K9 1DD 8BA IEMs

The cable is a NiceHCK SnowCat 2pin

And I don't know what the eartips are, I ultimately put on my beloved Hidizs Sea Anemone eartips. They just didn't look as good in the "photo shoot"

Which btw was a major pain in the but to get those to balance so that it made a butterfly.

I ended up getting Crinacle's Reference tool. Definitely much more excited to open these up lol...

Anyone try em yet?

EDC or OCD that is the question.

I love collecting folders and I love hifi gear. It's great when 2 hobbies collide like a perfect storm of awesome!

The knife is a Piranha X Auto with a shiny anodized blue handle and an even shinier mirror polished 154CM blade.

The digital audio player or (DAP) is a Hidizs AP 80 Pro Max made with a matte blue anodized aluminium housing.

The in-ear monitors or (IEMs) are Hidizs MS2 Pros with mirror polished ZA-12 zinc-aluminium shells with rhinohide textured blue inlays a10.2mm Dynamic Driver and a balanced armature for the treble .

And I think the cable is a Linsoul Tripowin 16-core Zonie Cable🤷‍♂️

Hidizs is a hifi brand that makes IEMs and DAPs that I became a fan of because they use materials and finishes that match my knives. It was cool to see that a few of the portable hifi companies use a lot of similar materials as the knife industry.

Anyway, this ⬆️ is what got me through the day today.

I tried to be as detailed as possible ✌️💙🔪🎶🫡

IEMs: Canpur Silver Flash

Cable: I think it's from my TinHifi P1 Max IIs

Eartips: from my EPZ P40s

Bass: Punchier than a female cocktail 🍹

BangsAudioReviews just reviewed these and another post here inspired me to throw up some pics and see if anyone else agrees. Has some Dunu Kima 2 vibes but better imo. Those crisp lines on metal faceplates, coupled with the semi custom molding. Gotta respect the machine work.

They don't sound too shabby either. If you purchase these, pretend like they don't come with a cable lol. but they're worth the cable upgrade. Also they come with a nice little dongle DAC that sounds clean and plugs right in. I should have taken a picture of it. My bad. I forgot about it. But, it's a nifty little guy.

(The IEMs in the pics are the Fosi IM4s oh and the amp is the Fosi ZA3)

I don't know what it is about that orange mesh but I love it! Fosi's one of those brands that aesthetically appeals to me so much. To the point where I was going to keep IEMs that I didn't like the sound of. The Fosi IM4s just weren't hittin right. I felt like they got overwhelmed during busy passages and most importantly to me there just didn't seem to be any separation between instruments.

So I went to my instrument separation kings the Hidizs MP145 Pros, and my Dunu Braindances. They had separation but they weren't hittin' like normal either. They still both sounded very good to my ears, whereas the Fosi's didn't. But nothing was sounding as good as it normally does.

But, the last week or so has been very stressful and I was kinda feeling a little low. Well I've broken out of my funk and the Fosi's sound pretty darn good today. Thank goodness cuz I love the way they look! And to me, aesthetics matter A LOT. But it's crazy how many factors are at play when it comes to liking or disliking a pair of IEMs. If I write a review, I've listen to the IEMs every day for at least 2 weeks.

It is so difficult to do reviews or rec something. Especially if you actually care whether the person or people on the other side of those recommendations likes their purchase.

Anyway, I just wanted to post up a few pics and see if anyone has em and see what people think of them.
