Switched from a BLON BL-03 to the Hexa and can go five hours without fatigue listening to prog metal.

positive

Recently bought the Hexa and is very happy with the balance and detail.

The Hexa arrived and is basically what they wanted: surprising soundstage; the wide tips are too spicy in treble so they use narrow ones.

positivewide soundstage

Finds the Hexa neutral, not thick or thin, with the midrange staying in the centre stage.

positive

Owns the original Chu and the Hexa and says the Hexa is great if you like the Chu tuning.

positive

Fully settled on a KZ PR2 V1, Truthear Hexa and Qudelix 5K and feels no need to upgrade further.

positive

Owns the Hexa and APP2: the Hexa is noticeably better in quality and technicality, but they use the APP2 more.

positivedetailed

Finds the Hexa lean and bright with a peaky 6-8k region and a hard-to-fit shell and wide nozzle.

The Hexa was their first real IEM and daily driver for more than a year.

Says nothing beats the Hexa, having owned the Pilgrim, Heydays and Monarch MK2.

Finds the Hexa's bass lacklustre and not fixable with EQ, though very good for the price.

mixed

Finds drums sound very odd on the Hexa and disputes that it sounds natural.

negative

Owns the Hexa and Dunu Titan S and uses the Hexa much more because the metal Titan gets cold on their ears.

positivecomfortable

No longer uses their Truthear Hexas because they sound like garbage to them.

A couple of weeks in and finds it sounds really good with AutoEq, a big step up from their Tin HiFi T3 Plus.

“I've had the Hexa for a couple weeks now and they do sound really good, especially with AutoEq. I've only previous had the Tin Hifi T3 Plus, and these are so much better.”
positivegreat value

Newly bought and enjoying it, with directional audio for gaming better than on their previous B&O H6 headphones.

“Just got the HEXA, really enjoying them so far. They are also pretty good for gaming, directional audio is much better than on my previous headphones (B&O H6 2nd).”
positive

Has used the Hexa for a while and likes the Blessing 3's bass and sparkle by comparison.

mixed

Prefers the Hexa to the Nova: more clinical and much better ergonomics.

positivecomfortable

Upgraded from the Hexa to the S12 Pro, which fills the Hexa's gaps with better bass and technicalities.

mixed

Loves the Hexa's tuning and detail but dislikes how it sounds with their Schiit stack, preferring a simple dongle.

mixeddetailed

Upgraded from the Hexa to the Hype 4: the bass the Hexa lacked is now crisp and satisfying.

mixed

Has owned the Hexas for two years and loves them, though is considering an upgrade.

positive

Got rid of their Truthear Hexa because it was just too bright for them.

negativebright

After a year with the Truthear Hexa, the cable is meh at best and its ear hooks dig into their ears.

The Truthear Hexa is amazing; they'd rather have two Hexas than their Moondrop Lan 2 backup.

positive

Has had the Truthear Hexa for half a year and loves it; with a little bass EQ it's good even for bass-heavy music.

The Truthear Hexa sounds fine, but the fit was awful for them.

After most Simgot shells hurt, they got the Truthear Hexa, which is extremely comfortable.

With a bit of amateur EQ, the Truthear Hexa is now their daily.

Loves the Truthear Hexa but hates its shape, stock cable and tips; a great IEM with faults.

The Truthear Hexa's fit was so bad it caused weeks of inflammation, and the treble kept them below 60 dB.

Got the Hexa on sale years ago: good for neutral tastes and vocal-forward, but drops mid and upper bass and the tips are bad.

The Truthear Hexa was extremely comfortable for their ears.

positivecomfortable

The Truthear Hexa was their first IEM and burned them deeply; it was the day they discovered they are a basshead.

negative

Finds the Truthear Hexa a bit overrated: it lacks bass and vocals can be shouty, and the large nozzle makes deep insertion hard.

mixed

Loves the Truthear Hexa; with a small bass shelf it is pretty much endgame for them.

Found the Truthear Hexa disappointing and overhyped: a little muffled, with lacking bass.

As a Hexa owner, finds it not very comfortable, even with aftermarket tips.

Had to remove their Hexa's earwax-clogged acoustic filters, after which it sounded harsh in the treble.

Finds their Hexa superb for Western masters but too thin for J-core.

Owns the Hexa and Pure and loves both; uses the Hexa for critical listening.

Owns the Hexa and HD 600; loves the HD 600 but the Hexa doesn't do it for them.

negative

The Hexa is their only IEM; good, flexible and worth the price, with EQ for any small adjustments.

positivegreat value

Bought the Hexa for its neutral reputation but found it peaky and sibilant.

negativeharsh treble

Liked their Hexa, but the left side died after about six months and three warranty tickets got no response.

negativebuild quality issues

Bought the Hexa and Pure over six months ago and uses the Hexa as a benchmark. It has better separation, stage and resolution, crisp transients and airy female vocals, but thinner midbass, and it turns shouty on fast high vocal runs and unforgiving of sibilant masters; the shell needs a demo for fit.

“However, I will still choose the Hexa for female vocals because it delivers the energy, air and incredible texture that is demanded by most of my tracks.”
positivedetailedbright

Liked their Hexa with a bass EQ boost, keeping its detailed, extended highs and forward mids; lost it, but plans to buy another rather than the Pure.

“I like the Hexa because if you add bass with eq you keep the detailed and extended highs with the more forward midrange which results in a pretty detailed listening experience, while also taking a bass boost very well.”
positivedetailed

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).”

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.”
mixeduncomfortablebright

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.”
positivecomfortable

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.

negativeharsh treble

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...”
mixedharsh treble

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.

mixeduncomfortable

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.

negativeharsh trebleuncomfortable

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.
