Hexa

Found the Hexa not good at all for bass-heavy music, weak anywhere between 10 and 150 Hz, and has since replaced it entirely with a Crinear Daybreak.

Hates their Hexa for its bad fit, severe lack of bass and ear-piercing treble; as a bass lover they expect the Truthear Pure would suit them better.

Calls the Hexa good but not great: the shell was fine but the 6 mm nozzle was too wide for long wear, and it lacked the mid-bass their music needs, though it wasn't fatiguing; settled on the Crinear Reference instead.

Finds the Hexa sounds really good for its price, but being sensitive in the lower treble they hear it as too harsh and clinical even with narrow-bore tips.

“Im sensitive to lower-mid treble regions so while I find the hexas sound really good for their price, they sound too harsh and too clinical to me even with narrow bore tips...”

Finds the Hexa's treble like a pencil in the ear at higher volumes and its bass lifeless; one of the most overpraised IEMs to them.

Despite small ears, finds the Hexa among the most comfortable IEMs they own, so small and light they disappear; prefers it to the bigger Juzear Defiant, and enjoys its easy, inoffensive sound.

“I have small ears and the Hexal are still among the most comfortable IEMs I own. They are so small and light, they just "disappear" in my war, I don't feel them at all.”

Reviewed a Hexa on loan from another listener. Sharp shell edges, a thick nozzle and grooved ear hooks made it very uncomfortable (4/10 for comfort); good sub-bass but little mid-bass, and bright treble that many find piercing. Still scores the sound well and advises trying the fit first.

“The Hexa is housed in a plastic shell enclosed by a metal faceplate. Its shape is peculiar: the inner sides are angular, and some very sharp edges cause severe discomfort and hot-spots even in short sessions.”

Owns the Hexa: light on bass apart from deep sub-bass rumble, with present treble that can sound plasticky, but good at detail and separating layers. Doesn't regret it but rarely uses it for the bass-driven music they prefer.

“it's pretty light on general bass (though it can rumble and dig deep with subbass if called for). treble is quite present and can sound plasticky at times (eg some acoustic guitar string strums sound kinda off).”
