[@fiddlix]

Finally…..a real review with no hype or shilling..thank you TonyTex. Your reviews and comparisons are simply the best in the audiophile community.

[@MrPhenix21]

Tony, you are a gem in this hobby. Your passion, knowledge, experience, ability to communicate your thoughts and your integrity are clearly and transparently expressed on your channel and in other places on the internet. You being music focused in your reviews and impressions makes a huge difference with me personally, and I'm sure with others too. Wouldn't have taken a chance on the Serial or the PhoenixCall or the Mega5p had it not been for your channel, and I love each of them to the point where I won't sell them. So yeah, as others have said, don't stress about being smaller than other review channels, the people who know, know.

[@akros9333]

Thank you for your support.....really truly appreciate it!

[@opulentotter8594]

Hah the hype train. Thankfully I can watch good Akros review

[@kiinybas]

No case ! $250 no case..omg 😮

[@Rsalmond83]

Tony👂🏾🎶👑🙌🏾!

[@dominiccote2217]

Don't worry even if you are a small reviewer, people of integrity know how to recognize each other, your advice has not fallen on deaf ears, I am the happy owner of ThHifi face red, and fiio jd7 and the kbear chord cable, and all your advice was accurate and judicious. Thank you Akros and continue your wonderful work!

[@akros9333]

Thank you....means so much to read those words.... thank you

[@roberta.6579]

Much appreciated Tony. More power to you

[@fahryst]

I like the pouch Hidizs provides Tony. Yeah a case would have been more protective but pouches are more pocketable and Hidizs pouches are the best I've seen.

[@ravirajpawar7734]

P1 Max with Megatron is still one of my favourite combo..😅

[@nmatheis]

Thanks for another great review, Tony. These seem like a good choice, although I'm pretty happy with my KZ x HBB PR2 now that I've put a better cable on them. FWIW, putting a product that's supposed to help support marine life in a plastic box is just so darn ironic. I mean, they couldn't use eco-friendly packaging for this? Not a good look Hidizs 🤦

[@alexandrezoubga]

Much appreciate Mr AKROS.Thanks a lot for the sacrifice you are doing.We Know your value

[@TheMartiansLoveKuato]

Nice sideways call out for the Tanchjim One DSP

[@error4159]

"I don't make money off iem's, I spend money", ain't that the truth, lol

[@frederf69]

rant away ✌regarding the tanchjim one; the dsp's version's app is only on android for the present & only has 5 band eq, but could really be something in the future... worth considering. thanks for your reviews & thank you especially for putting me onto the Butarstur ✌😎👍

[@akros9333]

Thank you for your support 🙏

[@Cujobob]

I would have purchased a set of these had Hidisz not been trying to manipulate people with bots on social media. They do look like a nice IEM aesthetically and the price was quite good at the intro Kickstarter price. It’s at $140 now and… it’s still pretty good, but there are a lot of options there.

[@renatobdc]

I got the Tanchjim One on the same day I watched your review. And it is fantastic! Best under 50 usd. Thanks for all your work!

[@fuzail3379]

Compare to Ew200 or Cadenza ?

[@laykehicks8413]

I stopped using all my other IEMs (zero red, ms1 galaxy, smile jamaica) and headphones (grado ms1, 80x) after having these for three weeks. It's best with EQ but the raw sound quality is better, it strikes a balance between being detailed and high-res without being harsh. Sounds big and 3D. Bass is very separated and deep, more than my dynamic IEMs but my DD's have more bass impact. For songs with less bass the rolling deep bass on the MP145 is preferred. The bass seems to aid in soundstage because it sounds so different from the mids and highs, it sounds like a 2.1 system to me. Note weight is excellent. I'd like to hear someone complain about their sound because I have none, however, they're better with a scooped mids EQ IMO. Great review!

[@akros9333]

So happy that you like it

[@MC_Attrition]

Appreciate the review. Was gonna give this whale set a pass for multiple reasons and pick up a Heyday somewhere down the line but I'll definitely be considering a nicehck F1 now.

[@yizhakbn]

Thanks for the review, what model of the NiceHCK cable you use in this video or you recommend for the mp145?

[@theaveragejoebody]

Love the content. Thank you

[@choydeliverer7162]

Love the vid. I'm looking for my first planar IEM, is DC03 Pro or Moondrop Dawn Pro enough for dring the MP145?

[@richardpeynado5859]

was always looking for a deep fit single driver. MP145 seems to tick that box

[@mbrandoe94]

Nicehck F1 is very underrated to the point that it is unnoticed. However I know some people bought the F1 during last weeks deal for less than 90$ and they very very much love it. They say that they don't get fatigued at the treble and the pinna gain is just right(7-9db). The bass is not hollow as the S12/Pro. Truly a shame. By the way I also have the F1.

[@AJ_Delos-Reyes]

I agree brother, I modded my Nicehck F1 by removing the metal filter. Improved the areas from 3 to 4k. Seemingly fixed the female vocals. I wonder why there is not enough hype on this. Maybe hidizs made the right marketing on their product, even though the F1 and MP145 almost have the similar tuning, the mp145 gets the limelight.

[@MrPhenix21]

I got a set of S12 Pro's for some ridiculous deal, I think it was $130CAD, and did the Michael Bruce's Shortbus "Glamdring" mod and it's phenomenal. I did a lot of tip and cable rolling to get a combination I liked, and now that I have it where I want it it's a permanent keeper.

[@tomfaulkner2662]

​@@MrPhenix21i think cable rolling is a placebo, however different ear tips deffinately affect the sound !!

[@uzumkristian5258]

Are you going to check the ivipq conch v12 and qoa aviation?

[@McanoLasala]

I'm so glad I picked P1 Max a year ago for 80$. I use a Tripowin 4.4 cable, give it power and no more planars for me. I'm done.

[@andyr72]

Hi. I need an IEM that will be decent for casual listening (phone) as well as for monitoring in my studio where I have both transistor and tube amps. These planars scare me a bit with regard to power needs as I only have a cheap USB-C to mini plug DAC converter cable that I use with my phone. I suppose my question would be, which of these (F1, P1, MP145) would require the least power to drive sufficiently with regard to my casual listening needs? Thank you & great display of the options here!

[@hecntina]

The plastic box on mine likewise had a chip in a corner... a poor packaging decision. I'm enjoying them w/ the default gold nozzle and some AZLA Sedna eartips (wide bore). So far their sound reproduction (visceral impact, natural tone/timbre, airy staging, detail retrieval, etc.) seem like an improvement over my Timeless and PR1 Pro (possible placebo effect, remains to be seen long-term), but not their form factor. Given their size & weight, the short-session comfort is acceptable so far, but the jury's still out on their long-session comfort.

[@TheBlazegt]

How this compared to Nezha? I have mp145, just looking to upgrade for less bassy set

[@HariKrishnaRK]

Thank you for the reviews, very helpful, after watching your reviews i purchased mangrid top and very happy with it, what would be another IEM which is a complete contrast to the TOP under $300?

[@DaddyYanToTe]

Thats why I always trust Akros reviews. While everyone hyping the mp145 like a god level planer, u always compare fairly with others. Every time when there’s a hype i wait your review.

[@erikliterature8162]

Could you please make a video about what you define as a good cable? You've been saying that this and that cable measures well but not defining what that means and what you consider to be what you want in a cable (Looks? Number of cores? Type of weave? Material? Color?). Please? Thank you for the review.

[@1fareast14]

Just demoed quintet vs heyday (so your earlier comment was spot on), the former kinda sucked. But I liked the deep fit. Do any of the featured sets have a noticeably longer nozzle than the heyday?

[@okay1904]

All these comments about the cable - Is this just a case of familiarity with certain kinds of cables. What is wrong with the stock MP145 cable? He says its not good enough, but does not qualify what is good or bad about the cable. Somewhat subjective?

[@omarbustos6003]

Muchas gracias Tony por tus apreciaciones sobre este iem. Una pregunta, con mi Questyle M15 con que amplificador lo puedo complementar para poder alimentar correctamente el MP145?

[@akros9333]

Si claro ....yo utilizo el M15 con un Topping NX7 La combinación es superba y suena muy bien. La diferencia que vas a notar se tienes más potencia es que el sonido parece sin esfuerzo.... Imagina un Golf GTI y un Audi RS4....lo Audi hace todo con más Tranquilidad

[@omarbustos6003]

​@@akros9333mil gracias!! Saludos desde Chile

[@Aleksandr_Veselov-de]

Thanks for the review. Can you please tell me if the FiiO KA5 is powerful enough for these headphones?

[@jb678901]

Yes.

[@anatol1204]

If p1 max had 2-3 db more bass and 2 db minus 8khz it would be END GAME iem for me

[@Satyajit_Dey]

Will chord mojo 2 (600mW in 30 Ohms and 90mW in 300 Ohms) be enough to drive the MP145s to its fullest potential?

[@tristankrafft4201]

Do you think that the qudelix 5k would be enough power for these planars?

[@TomatePasFraiche]

Most definitely, this thing has powered my most hungry 50mm diaphragm headphones

[@blorg8206]

For sure, yes, it can power over-ears. People are stupid about power, it's an IEM and even more sensitive (104dB) than most of the other planar IEMs.

[@akros9333]

That it has enough power....yes it does .....will it reach its limits sooner when compared to a higher powered device...yes it will. Ultimately it depends on how Loud you like your music and what music you.listen too.

[@gaba665]

How does it compares to the nicehck f1 pro in the sound department? Is it any better or worse in some areas? I'm between those 2 right now

[@xrypro4080]

soundwise- f1pro competes with s12p/P1m/TH/talos, MP145 competes with S15.

[@bestcocbaseswithlink5069]

@@xrypro4080 confused as to choose mp or s15, what do you suggest?

[@yooanto9465]

how it compares to hype 2 and more expensive 1000$ iem?

[@ml14r9]

Upgrade for sound rhyme sr5?

[@_Pretender]

◇ ...The huge drawback of these IEM is that they are huge, uncomfortable and have a large sound nozzle with a diameter of 7mm.!!! This immediately makes them absolutely unpleasant for half of the audiophiles.(

[@amanieux]

do you have a iem ranking list ? thanks

[@dawiddabrowski3279]

S12pro or mp145??

[@jb678901]

I vote for the MP145...but there are both very very good. Price wise...they are both on sale below US$120.

[@dilankalpa]

This vs Celest Phoenix Call ? Similar pricing and considered very good.

[@akros9333]

If the MP145 ends up being 199...then CELEST....if it's around 145....then MP...although it's not an easy choice!

[@Stylianos.]

Is 4 vrms 280 mw enough to power up this Mp145 ? something like iBasso DC04 PRO ?

[@akros9333]

Yes no problem

[@daemonkisure2952]

Tangzu zetian wu VS this, what is better?

[@brandondsouza3700]

Is a tempotec Sonata HD pro good enough DAC for the MP145?

[@akros9333]

Yes it should be fine.

[@itaythejoker]

What are the iem's at 10:10 called?😅

[@paulosilva8200]

I'm not happy about those nozzles. Looks too short to carry any sponge dumper. I think they use paper dumpers that blocks all the time and the tone is not great. I did the same with the fiio fh15 that I replace the filters for a sponge one. And the iem comes to life. Before was a sloppy bass tone. And now has control and fast

[@_Pretender]

...dear Akros. What do You think about S12Pro/Z12 vs MP145? Will be grateful to hear a pair of you words. Best regards from Ukraine! 🇺🇦

[@_Pretender]

Upd.: Писал вопрос в начале просмотра видео!) Услышал некоторое инфо после середины видео! 👍

[@Laleeee100]

Any treble harshness ?

[@laykehicks8413]

None. I've tried to get them to sound bad and can't yet they remain clear and resolving. No harshness but I have heard the silver tuning filter could cause harshness.

[@benmacdhui]
