Short answer: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4. Both are rated 3.3/5 for sound quality (#898 and #909 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 costs $250.13 against $299 for the Hidizs MS5, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy.
What the Hidizs MS5 does well: Lower mids sit within about 0.7 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. The catch: Presence sits about 3.4 dB low with a 12.7 dB dip near 11.9 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Why pick the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4: This true wireless set adds active noise cancelling, Bluetooth 5.4 and a codec list that runs from SBC and AAC up to aptX Lossless and LC3. The tradeoff: Presence from 3 to 6 kHz is about 6.9 dB under target, with an 8.2 dB dip near 5.7 kHz, so voices and guitars sound recessed.
Buy the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $48.87 less than the Hidizs MS5.

Frequency Response Compared
