Hidizs ST2 Pro Nebula 2 in 1 Allrounder
...... ......
Connectivity
The Nebula shipped with a really cool cable that has a Next Gen DSP Cable that features a really cool Dac chip the ES9218AC with a very sufficient output up to 70mW+70mW@32Ω and drives the Nebula with ease. This makes the Nebula a 2 in 1 device as there is no need for a separate Dac/amp or dongle to go from USB-C TO 3.5mm. The Nebula DSP cable worked on all my phones like the Samsung S21, Huawei P40 Lite and LG V40. I also connected the Nebula to the Hiby M300 Dap and that was my favorite pairing all throughout.

Look & Build
The very light shells make the Nebula a very non fatiguing earphone and that is a huge plus. The shells themselves are really plain and transparent and a nice touch is the coin like Hidizs logo on the top plates. In design less is more. The DSP cable is the real star here and it grew on me very quickly. It is made from the same material used as parachute rope and it adds a certain cool factor for me as I am so used to braided cables that this is refreshing and very welcome.

Sound
To get a feel for the Nebula sound signature I plugged it into the Hiby M300 and went straight to Tidal through Hiby player.
I would say the bass is mid bass focused but there is sub bass at hand when required as on Massive Attack’s song Angel.
When I listened for highs one of my favorite tracks is Crystal Ribbon (Extended Smelting). On this track if you have a bright earphone, you get fatigued very quickly and I am happy to report that the treble has a warm feel to it for me.
The Nebula has great pace, rhythm and timing and if you get the Nebula, please listen to Honky Tonk Women by The Rolling Stones. There is some foot tapping goodness going on with the Nebula and that song.
I also need to mention that the Nebula has very good holographic imaging as I was listening for a 3d effect which is greatly done by Peter Gabriel on the Security album.
Regarding the DSP cable, I used it with some of my other earphones to and the chip had ample power to drive most I tested it with and the ES chip is really good sound wise.

Conclusion
My conclusion is that the Nebula to me is for everyone and I think everyone from audiophiles to music lovers and gamers should buy it. If you are looking for a nice affordable set of earphones that does not break the bank and comes with a premium DSP cable and something that sounds good with most genres then the Nebula is for you.
