HIDIZS ST2 PRO Review -Nick Leonard

Review Summary: Hidizs ST2 Pro Nebula IEMs

The Hidizs ST2 Pro Nebula IEMs feature a premium DAC (ES9281AC PRO) built into the USB-C cable, which supports 32-bit audio and provides impressive sound quality. The cable is covered in soft, non-sticky cloth, making it one of the reviewer’s favorite cables for IEMs.

Sound Quality: Clear and Detailed

The ST2 Pro offers a balanced sound profile, with a slight emphasis on the bass for a solid low-end, while the treble is clear and present without being harsh or fatiguing. The reviewer particularly enjoyed the aggressive top-end when listening to metal, noting a nice attack and solid bass. The IEMs also performed well with softer genres like jazz and Peter Gabriel, delivering enough bass and clear treble without overwhelming the listener.

Comparisons and Value

Compared to the Hidizs MS3 (which costs more than twice as much), the ST2 Pro is still competitive in terms of clarity and bass, though the MS3 has richer sub-bass extension. However, the ST2 Pro provides a good value for the price, especially with the included DAC cable. Even at $50 (with the early bird price), these offer great performance.

Price and Accessories

The Kickstarter launch price for the ST2 Pro will be $40 (for early backers), with a $50 early bird price for the general public. The set includes the USB-C cable, three sets of ear tips, a carrying pouch, and a USB-C to USB-A adapter. The IEMs also come with a built-in microphone, although the reviewer did not test it thoroughly.

Conclusion

Overall, the Hidizs ST2 Pro Nebula offers excellent sound quality, a premium DAC, and solid build at an affordable price point. While the design may not be the most luxurious, the emphasis is on sound performance, making them a strong contender in the market, especially for $50 or less. If you’re looking for high-quality IEMs with a DAC and good sound at a reasonable price, the ST2 Pro is a great option.
