Sound quality description
In this review, I use the standard eartips size L and drive it with the FiiO M15.
The Hidizs Mermaid MM2 has a V-shaped sound with a slightly more midrange neutrality with the standard gold nozzle. The silver nozzle, which is supposed to adjust more toward the highs, actually emphasizes the upper midrange to mid-highs. However, there is not much difference between the gold and silver nozzles. On the other hand, using a red nozzle, which is considered to be closer to the low frequency range, will drastically change the sound quality, making it sound much more low-frequency oriented and changing the impression of the mid-range considerably.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Sound quality general comment
- Original Sound Fidelity: A
- Recommendation: A+
- Personal preference: A+
The Hidizs Mermaid MM2 has a generally high level of neutral listening sound, but the duct tuning system, the centerpiece of the system, could have used a little more work. In fact, the standard gold nozzle is the best, while the silver nozzle changes little and, if anything, degrades the sound quality slightly. The low-frequency-oriented red nozzle's changes are too extreme and the sound is somewhat selective, so I think many people end up settling for the gold nozzle.
In general, however, the audio specs are high, and these earphones are not only at the top of the price range, but can also compete with models above the price, making them a recommended choice.

General comment
The Hidizs Mermaid MM2 has a unique duct tuning system, audio specs are not bad, build quality and accessories are attractive, and it is a very good model in its price range. The standard gold nozzle sound is quite complete and can be recommended. However, the duct tuning system is not as refined as it could be, and the sound at all ducts is a bit bloated in the low frequencies, with the highs being weaker and the overall balance being a bit more noticeably low-frequency, making these earphones a bit easier for older people to get away from their tastes.
