Love the honest review. I actually cave in and bought the MP145 recently and it is a very good set! I wouldn't pay 500 dollars for it though so yes this is definitely overpriced.
Have a great Tuesday. There are lots of other sets I’d look at in that range. I have the S12 and like it ok. I’d be interested in trying the S15 out of all the ones you mentioned.
It's disappointing to hear the result of the IEM. I was hoping they made some special sauce with it because of the price. Still great unboxing with the cable and case.
Fair review man. Maybe they're testing the market on this one. They seem capable in producing good IEMs and accessories so I'm hoping that they would be able to compete in the market.
Honestly, I was interested when I saw the graph and faceplate. But yeah, like you said $500 might be a little too much. As we know, currently there are lots of good and cheap planars such as Heyday and S12/Pro.
The only way to justify that price tag would be if the company is smaller (personally, never heard of it before today) and their production volume is much smaller than that of the competition and they're after a bigger profit margin.
Happy HOLI !! 🔴💦🟣💦🔵💦🟢💦🟡💦 . . Holi is a colorful and joyous Hindu festival celebrated mainly in India and Nepal. It marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. People celebrate by throwing colored powders and water at each other, dancing, singing, and enjoying festive foods. It's a time for forgiveness, renewal of relationships, and spreading happiness.
Question from a noob, why in the graphs are the lower frequencies always a smooth curve but get to the higher frequencies the graph is always like the Rockies ?
Really nice looking set, but I'm one of the people who is still on the Letshuoer S12 and I've tried a few times to buy more expensive sets only to be disappointed that they don't sound anywhere near as good to me as the S12's do. Hard for me to step up to these higher priced sets when I can't trust that they're an improvement.
I wish I found your yt channel before I got into planar hype years ago, and bought the s12. I have tried tip and cable rolling, but still it doesn't suit my taste. Sitting there now like brand new.
Just saw the unboxing vid of this set and it looked the part. But end of the day for me I am more interested in the price to performance ratio because after unpacking iems I normally store iems in a box with other iems and put the package they came in in a drawer. Thanks for the review and too bad for the company that the pricing is a bit too high compared to its competitors.
I saw some videos on the Tigerism Octave and how it uses the same drivers as the Mim Audio Dark Magician. I am curious if they are using a common planar driver for this model iem?
The Driver in MiM Audio Dark Magician OG isn't that fancy. It's been used in IEMs under $100. The value of Dark Magician is in the tuning and housing shell. It sounds incredible.
This show how far the hobby has come, better gears are available at a lower price point, making this whole thing a battle for price to performance. Accessories like cable, case, or termination are nice, but good customer service and quality control will put a brand above the rest. Nice review as always.
I love your honestly on all your vids. Thanks to you I got my 2 top sets that I love at the moment. You are an excellent guide on the hobby This set looks nice but for the price I think we can get something better.
This problem you mentioned before, the current price range for good planars, it is an actual "situation" for all IEMs nowadays, I would say. There are tons of good things out there that it is becoming hard to choose one pair from this sea of IEMs. It is almost a problem not because there are tons of good things but because we always want the best of the best. Well, not all of us, I was talking in general.
How long have you had that fancy UA-cam plaque in the background? I'm trying to figure out if I should congratulate you or get my eyes checked. Ha. The review was solid. I watched the unbox video first and I thought it was going to do better than it did. You'd mentioned some concerns about it being overpriced for a planar; but, that presentation made me think they had some special sauce to make it worth the money from an audio standpoint. This is why I watch your channel. Knowing what to NOT spend my money on is just as important as knowing what to spend my money on. And I'll admit that I was fooled by this set.
The presentation was great compared to even some $1000+ IEMs but i do agree $500 is too much. To me $1000+ IEMs not worth it if they are not made out of some expensive materials. Even with the cost of development i don’t think they should ask that much.
Seeing the unboxing the presentation is nice. Makes you wonder though how much that case is from the factory - 10 bucks? Maybe 20 tops? Would rather just be able to buy that....
Way too much for a planar iem in my opinion, nice case though. The cable looks like it's less pliable than some, do you think it's stiff or does it behave well?
Too many options at that price range it seems. Will you be checking out a set called the PULA PA02 by any chance? I've seen some videos recently of that set getting a ton of praise, but no sure if it is just shilling hype or legit. Thanks~!
Nice review! I almost felt sorry for the manufacturer. :D Imo all the new "cheap" planars sound kinda almost the same good for me so meh... I like the presentation and I def would buy it around 200. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The existence of S15 makes this set a tough buy. The sad part is I fancy everything about it. Big up's to Tigerism for this set. Really hoping for a sale of some sort to make it more competitive
I’d say leave the scale as is, and just put items in the middle of categories as you see fit but don’t bother putting mini text as I feel it would just clutter up the graphic. Great video. Have a great rest of you day
Think the scale works as is. If something falls between just continue to do as you did in this video with the arrow and simple explanation. No need to add additional text. At least my opinion.
with alot of stuff that gives you good price to performance ratio especially at such a lower price it does feel weird that companies still trying to win you over with shiny goodies and luxury unboxing experience. but probably there are still enough people that put that as priority.
Everything realistically has moved at least one price bracket cheaper spec-wise outside of money tree iem's, if a company does not keep up with the pricing trends it is putting itself, potentially , on the slippery slope that leads to failure .
Maybe this would be good with a discount......on the other hand, is the cable the same as the Liquid links one , only differently branded? Because that is a 1000$ cable
Like I was trying to get at in the unboxing video, when you're opening it you feel like youre getting your money's worth but its because the performance is weak. They probably added all the extras to justify the sunk costs of making them to get their money back.
yeah, i think maybe tigerism has fallen into the pit of "we are awesome and we can price how we want". too many options for that today. you have to know what else is out there.
good new... meaning the good iems are getting cheaper and cheaper. like how they llok, but I'll always prefer paying less for more, and paying for the a good drivers instead of the unboxing and the accesories.
that price bracket is long gone
Yeah...the delivery and presentation are quite cool but it's way behind in price unfortunately

✨Another great review. Gracias hermano.☀🌴🌴
Dude for $500, I would buy 2 $250 IEMs, and you know there are some beasts in that bracket.
Gotta say this was the cleanest review so far! Concise and yet hits all the details! Thank you for the great review!
😲I cant believe the quality of everything. Superb!
Cool set, glad I had a chance to hear it.

Agree, way too expensive. I also mentioned that Origin should come with the SIMGOT LC7 cable as standard.
Fair review man. Maybe they're testing the market on this one.
They seem capable in producing good IEMs and accessories so I'm hoping that they would be able to compete in the market.

unfortunately very common with tigerism products, gorgeous aesthetics, the lily gilding is real too.

Happy Holi to you
Happy Choli to all of you, ekhm, I mean Holi!
Ur totally right man, where the hobby has gone now, for 500 bucks I want more than “it’s good” Good ain’t good enough for that kinda coin anymore huh
Have to say your reviews are becoming more centered, concise and useful. Thank you for that. I got all the info I need for this set.
I am with you. That $350-600 bracket is rough and hard to justify in 2024 ( for most sets ).
Question from a noob, why in the graphs are the lower frequencies always a smooth curve but get to the higher frequencies the graph is always like the Rockies ?
Gilding the lily is right, not sure the case and cable are worth the "extra" 300.
A great honest review of an average set. Thanks!
That is just sad. I hope they get some sort of reality check and bring the price down a bit.
New subscriber, new to the hobby. What should i buy for my first I.E.M?
like you said, nice attempt. hope they comeback with the right strategy next time around tho. seems like a good company
Really nice looking set, but I'm one of the people who is still on the Letshuoer S12 and I've tried a few times to buy more expensive sets only to be disappointed that they don't sound anywhere near as good to me as the S12's do.

@phetmoz that's what I've heard. I was never able to get my hands on one myself.
8k peaks aren't that noticeable to me either lol. Hope 🐯ism prices fairly in the future! 14.2mm driver sounds dope
Nice to see older stuff put into perspective to current market.
it’s amazing how competitive the market and hobby has become

Protective booties should become a standard regardless of price...

Just reiterating: i am enjoying your new format for reviews
the design is nice, but the price is "I can't afford it"😅
That case is sweet! And I love the new ranking system
Maybe they can lower the price a little bit these might be a great set!
Yup, price is just.... yeah, they didn't do any market research.
I'm also not a fan of Hidizs for various reasons, but I ADORE my MP145.
So, a $200 IEM with $300 accessories?
Seeing the unboxing the presentation is nice. Makes you wonder though how much that case is from the factory - 10 bucks? Maybe 20 tops? Would rather just be able to buy that....
Way too much for a planar iem in my opinion, nice case though. The cable looks like it's less pliable than some, do you think it's stiff or does it behave well?
Thats a dope looking set tho

This is like putting lipstick on a...piano mom. Not super hot, but okay. 😊 thanks for the review.
Nice review! I almost felt sorry for the manufacturer. :D
Imo all the new "cheap" planars sound kinda almost the same good for me so meh... I like the presentation and I def would buy it around 200. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for another honst review, I liked the quality of the accessories with the set. have a nice week mate
Thanks for the review. Have a great week.
This set is way overpriced given the current market. Tigerism should do some more market research imho. Great review HBB. Thank you. 🙏
looks like a competitor to artti t10 / nicehck f1 pro but with 4x the price or even more
Man i really like that ghetto scale, makes it nice and easy to make an idea if its worth the money
What are the Cheaper sets that you would req over this?
The existence of S15 makes this set a tough buy. The sad part is I fancy everything about it. Big up's to Tigerism for this set. Really hoping for a sale of some sort to make it more competitive
Thanks for the review
❓❓What is the best sub $100 planar driver IEM?
Heyday all day. Great planar set at a decent price.
happy holidays thank you
yeah another interesting video. I am still using the KZ PR2
I’d say leave the scale as is, and just put items in the middle of categories as you see fit but don’t bother putting mini text as I feel it would just clutter up the graphic. Great video. Have a great rest of you day
You’re not a fan of the S12?
Happy Holi 🎈🎉 may colours bring joy for everyone 🙏🏼
Happy Holi bro!!💫

Another honest good review!
They look really nice but without price matching performance they don't look that good that I'd put 5 hundos on em. But still a great looking set.
That would probably be "because I can" set for some... It's good looking, well packaged...
How do they justify charging what they do?
The extras ...nice stuff but not enough for most....is my guess
Nice Set.
I wish you all a nice Easter🐣🐇🐰🐇
Everything realistically has moved at least one price bracket cheaper spec-wise outside of money tree iem's, if a company does not keep up with the pricing trends it is putting itself, potentially , on the slippery slope that leads to failure .
Sweet set back in 2021. The state of midfi and chifi in en fuego which we all win.
Any new set coming from you? Hint hint? 😅
Great product, but until you saw the price it was a buy for sure! Thanks for sharing!
That telepathic power it's insane
I was actually pretty excited to see the review for this but the price is a bummer.......
Look decent.. Where the new trailli at?
OK, so here's the review. Well, I felt it in my bones that this set could not be a threat to my S12 Pro (if I understood correctly this vid).
Didn't have to wait too long for the review after watching the unboxing 😅
Maybe this would be good with a discount......on the other hand, is the cable the same as the Liquid links one , only differently branded? Because that is a 1000$ cable
Thanks for keeping it 💯
Kind of a bummer to hear that the price is so high compared to the competitors.
Oh, i must go to see the unboxing
the cable looks tempting
Looks good, but if it is compareable to good 200 bucks IEM, then 🤷 Good luck to them in a future. 👍
Like I was trying to get at in the unboxing video, when you're opening it you feel like youre getting your money's worth but its because the performance is weak. They probably added all the extras to justify the sunk costs of making them to get their money back.
If this is not the standard oft used driver they shoulda stated it. Sounds on par with other sets
Got it. Ok, So pretty good set, but would have been competitive at this price a few years ago.
He is a very talented DIY'er.
Hi hbb Can you give advice regarding a DAP budget around 300-400 bucks?
Save your money. Plenty of great options under/around $100. Ew200, fudu, zero 2, ea500lm, artti t10.
@@c4monkey oh sorry I think I forgot to add DAP
yeah, i think maybe tigerism has fallen into the pit of "we are awesome and we can price how we want". too many options for that today. you have to know what else is out there.
They are gorgeous! 😮
Spring is coming..Have a good day.
Sorry to say but hidiz changed a bit internally of mp145
good new... meaning the good iems are getting cheaper and cheaper.
like how they llok, but I'll always prefer paying less for more, and paying for the a good drivers instead of the unboxing and the accesories.
Design-wise this is awesome but for the price even the Kefine Klanar gives this a run for its money
i find that graph a little weired! But I like it. Thanks
