Well the original Heart Mirror (non pro) was very unique as it was one of the rare neutralish IEMs at the budget segment. Most of the similar priced competitors are V shaped or Harmanish.

In fact, it is kind of a misnomer to call this Heart Mirror Pro a "Pro" version of the original Heart Mirror, since tonally they are very different.






So the new Heart Mirror Pro is quite harmanish, and is very similar in tonality to other sub $100 single DDs like the Aria 2021, Tin T3 Plus etc. They all appear to be sidegrades of each other, not much value-add TBH.

Harman tuning is a safe option for manufacturers, since most people will prefer it tonally, so I get where they are coming from. They probably don't want to take too much risks with an extreme tuning, but if majority of budget IEMs use a Harman variant, then how do you stand out from the competition? (Well you can get a one-up over the rivals by sporting some anime waifu babe packaging or claiming some uranium driver).

I was hoping the HM Pro was an HM with fast detailed punching deeper subbass and midbass to give a more full body mids, but same defined and revealing high mids and trebbles of the original HM....

About the uranium DD drivers they works better paired with cryptonite BA, big impact and full estension, the anime waifu girls works better directly printed on the shell or in...silicon form with a sub woofer...

+1 for sidegrade not upgrade
as well, more bass quantity=less quality imo

btw....their quite alot of other HZsound IEM earbyds nobody care to test...including HZ5 (seem to use same 10mm DD tough!).
Strangely, on taobao, the HZmirror Pro is call HZsound Mood Pro....more appropriate i think!

I've the black and red one, it'isnt not Easy understand the model on the Tiandirenhe official site on AE, and I may say that is very pleasing, good subbass and midbass, not to much recessed mids and estended non pearcing highs.
I likes it.

Or does that make me a Grinch?

I bought into the Olina hype train and ordered it pretty soon after release. I'm not disappointed, it still gets regular ear-time. The detail, soundstage and imaging it provides are fantastic. I certainly don't consider it one of the "flash in the pan" releases. Kudos to Michael Bruce for coming up with the worlds simplest mod, using only what comes in the box!

+1 on the Olina, I got it in trade on a lark and it's just about perfect.

I think EVERY expense was spared on the translation to English (or 'Merican) of the product description! Apparently these also cater to "Sexual requirements"

Going to pass. Too much has arrived in the post recently for my wife's liking. Going to try to be good for October as no doubt my resistance will fail me in November.
