I forgot to mention why I used the stock wide bore tips. I didn't use foam tips. I used the wide bore tips because they fit me a little better than the narrow bore tips and I also found that they added a smidge more air and space along with a tad more energy and sparkle in the treble.
@@justinip9832 love final audio e series tips but I don’t necessarily think they bring more energy to my ears at least. They do bring out a little more bass but you lose a bit of that sparkle in the treble. JVC spiral dots are wide bore and those are great if you’re looking for a bit more clarity and slightly larger soundstage
Hi, I was wondering if this would be a good choice for R&B-like male vocals? I listen to vocals only and was looking at these Hexas and the new Delcis at this price point.
@hmf33 it's a bit leaning into the cold side in the upper mids and treble. Vocals also lack a bit of body weight and sound a little thin. The Hexa is more of an analytical listen then an enjoy listen. Sorry Ivent not heard the Delci.
I've had the hexa for almost 3 months now and watched several reviews about them but this is the most accurate review of them all. Strongly agree with his description of the hexa's sound.
Very informative review! I'm listening to this video on my Titan S--which I think is still really hard to beat for the price. Every time I bring it out, I'm surprised by how good it is. (You would think that I would learn after a while.)
Thank you very much Dave, I was anxious for this review. I saw too much hype about this IEM, and I was expecting your feedback to confirm if it’s good or not. Best regards!
The dauntless was my second purchase as I entered into the hobby and to tbh I haven't listened to it in a while. I'm going to pick it up again! Thanks for the excellent review as always and the reminder on the dauntless.

Great review Dave...Good to see Dauntless is still at the top of its game at this price point. Accurate tone and timbre like you said - that's what comes to mind whenever I think of Dauntless in my collection...Glad I didn't take the call to buy following the hype for the Hexa...It would have been a totally redundant and inferior set I guess, after having the Dauntless...Thanks a ton for the comparison, as I'm still eyeing buying the Hexa, but not anymore!!!
Yes, the Hexa is redundant if you have the Dauntless or the Titan S unless you want that different approach to presentation. But as I mentioned in the video, I would stick with the Dauntless. Glad you still enjoy the Dauntless, one of my favorite IEM as well.
I just got the hexa today, I’ve had it in my ears for about 12 hours straight now. It sounds excellent to me, it might even replace the final e4000 as my favorite, I don’t know but it’s very close so far. I just love how crystal clear it sounds through my iPhone.
Great review, Dave. Thanks for this. I am passing this. Could you do a review of the AFUL Performer 5 hybrid from Hifigo. Appreciate your efforts. BTW I have pulled the trigger on the AFUL P5 and very impressed .
Hello Dave.. Big fan. I already have the Dunu Titan S. I am a big fan of movie soundtracks and i have come to understand that iems with solid technicalities with decent tuning is highly essential for this. Especially in the busier passages. While I'm really enjoying the Titan s , i was wondering if there's anything in the sub 100$ range that has more technical prowess than the Titan s. Your opinion?
Hello, I want to use these for playing/recording live drums and instruments. I have a mic/interface setup, I know you said they have a good seal and they're comfortable, but you did mention you can hear some outside noise even with them on? You think noise bleed from drums would be a problem, or is the seal good enough that as soon as sounds comes out, it will block out any outside noise?
I don’t have the Dauntless or the Titan S but I do have the Hexa. My take on the Hexa is much like yours. My biggest gripe is it needs more in the mid bass and lower mids. The Hexa is so close but so far away.
I sometimes watch and end up researching new IEMs. Every time, it always ends with me putting one in the basket. But even after three years, I've never pressed that checkout button. My Fiio FH1s, which I bought at a steal three years ago ($35 instead of $60), are still good enough. They don't sound like the cheap $10 IEMs I was using before. I am willing to spend $300 for an IEM, but until then, I'm going to use my FH1s to death and hope that by the time comes, there will be nicer IEMs in that price bracket.
THANKS MATE valuble review honest ,for what your experience is and must not be easy job at all when you have so many sounds to hear ,expensive and not.....) saying that once i had the p1 plus now stolen with another 5 pairs of balanced cables but i saved the dac and remained with only TIN 3 AND ARIA ,unfortunately my budget allowed me to buy the titan S for 64Euros and i was undecided between the hexa and Titan ....I like mature neutral sound not coloured . I hope i made the good choice ,but i wanted tell you once as you said the TIN P1 PLUS require power ,i abbinated them with E1DA 9038 SUMUS which is powerful enough the hear the smooth bass ruble of the P1 as the E1DA 9038 latest edition which i prefer much more than the Fiio BTR5 2021 which didn't drive so well as the E1da which i reccomend and if you have the chance review it as it is siple but very efficint and cost effeticve.Cheers

I honestly don't remember anything about the Reecho and it's been a very long time since I reviewed it. Here is a link to my review: ruclips.net/video/_wYZjZdvCS0/видео.html
Is the male/female vocal better than aria/titan s or atleast similar? If its not a huge upgrade vocal note weight wise I wont consider buying it. Tbh I only care about the vocal (:
Hi Dave, I have a Kinera Gramr cable and use it extensively with my sub 50$ IEMs. I am looking to buy Truthear Hexa, they both have 0.78 mm 2 pin connection, but Gramr is known for incompatibility issues with IEMs that have a depth near its connector. Can you, by any chance, confirm whether they're compatible with each other? Thanks for the great review.
Not even close, the Hexa is better detailed and resolving, is more neutral, doesn't have the robust note weight of the Blon, bass is not nearly as impacting, treble is more extended but may seem more elevated and peaky. Overall the Hexa is more analytical than the Blon and lacks the fun factor.
1 thing I really don't like is the Phillips screws on the face plates. They look so cheap. They should definitely have chosen hex screws instead. Thank you as usual for very honest review 👍
The Hexa comes across more analytical but not natural like the T2 and I find that they are similar in detail retrieval with a slight edge to the Hexa. I prefer the T2 over the Hexa.
@@TheHonestAudiophile What about the Dauntless vs Tin T2? Are the Dauntless much more detailed? I would like to get an upgrade of the tins, i feel the detail is good but i need better highs and more bass.. especially the sub bass which is lacking in the tins...
I want to use IEMs for Video-Editing. If I understood you right in your review, the DUNU Titan S would be better than the Truthear Hexa for Video-Editing projects, right?
The Hexa is more neutral and analytical. The Titan S has better tone and timbre and are mid forward. The Titan S is better for monitoring and the Hexa is better for mixing and mastering. Keep in mind I am not a professional in these areas and have very limited experience tinkering within it. I do run a soundboard weekly for my church.
@@TheHonestAudiophile Pretty much spot on, the Hexa are very balanced, which is why after just acquiring them, I'll probably use them in the context of mastering tracks, since my PC headset is too warm (Often the case with gaming headset, even enthusiast ones) Rule of thumb is that if that something sticks out in the mix with these, especially in the lower end of the spectrum, it's probably gonna stick out A LOT on more dynamic, common output devices. Still gonna try them for gaming though, since imaging is pretty good, they must be good for FPS
@@TheHonestAudiophile then can you please tell me how does these(truthear hexa) sounds through laptop or macbook air or windows pc without using external dac. And how much of difference is there with or without using dac. As I didn't find it anywhere in other videos.. and I'm thinking to purchase my first iem and I don't have any dac.
I have 7hz sonus in mind but i am not sure because hexa seems to be better in almost everyway except for the mid bass , so i am confused . I like my sound to be punch bassy and engaging too😅
I've not heard 7hz Sinus. Another to consider is the TRI Meteor but you won't have quite as much details as Hexa. Simgot EA500LM is another option (review coming soon)
@@TheHonestAudiophile the Oleana OG lacked adequate resolution in the mid range. IMHO. Your mileage may vary, etc. But you see, I'm old. So how do the rest of you see it. The highs are gone, so the mid-range is where I live. And you will all be here, at this point, some day soon. So I want much resolution, but ...tone. Gotta have it. I want it all. Can't have all. So I'll take mid-range. But tone. Amperex 7316.
I bought them now :D Sound was a little thin and unengaging - just like you said, missing that extra something. Until I switched the cables with the ones that came with my Hidizs Mermaid MS2. Holy shite! John Barry - Goldfinger and I'm rocking in my chair with all the delicious Titan S details on top. Mermaids are still a bit more musical but I don't like their "darkishness." Titan all the way! Absolutely loving them. Thanks for your review again!!!!!
Most people are gushing over the Hexa, with the only negative being the tuning isn’t someone’s preference. It’s refreshing to hear some actual concrete critiques. Thank you for keeping it honest 👏👏👏
@@TheHonestAudiophile which one should I get? T3 Plus or hexa? I listen to rock and metal most of the times and I prefer good soundstage and instrument separation with natural vocal and instrument sounds. Please suggest me one. I'm so much confused And I'm from Bangladesh
I'm considering getting the Hexa but I'm not sure if I'm better off grabbing the Dauntless, Titan or go a little bit extra for the Blessing 2. I listen to metal mostly, I prefer a brighter sound signature though, and I care about imaging more than anything else. What would you recommend? Thx
Titan S, Dauntless and Hexa aren't really special for metal. Blessing 2 isn't really a metal IEM in my opinion. Xenns Mangird Top is amazing for metal. BUT keep in mind, I don't listen to a lot of metal. Between the Titan S, Dauntless and Hexa for metal I would lean to the Titan S.
Several different options that have the abilities but I don't believe anything is capable of being perfect.

Nope not falling for that again, I was/am SO disappointed with the Zeros that this sound exactly what I don't want to run into again. The TRUTHEAR zeros are borrrring. Unlike the salnotes zero which is what prompted me in the first place to get the TRUTHEAR version. Hexa, no go.

@@gerritfridericksohn4627 here is my og Olina review: ruclips.net/video/b2QdWapzu9Q/видео.html
I bought them now :D Sound was a little thin and unengaging - just like you said, missing that extra something. Until I switched the cables with the ones that came with my Hidizs Mermaid MS2. Holy shite! John Barry - Goldfinger and I'm rocking in my chair with all the delicious Titan S details on top. Mermaids are still a bit more musical but I don't like their "darkishness." Titan all the way! Absolutely loving them. Thanks for your review again!!!!!
Pls recommend an iem in same price range for mainstage music

@@TheHonestAudiophile thanks
@akash5180 my pleasure, you're welcome
Most people are gushing over the Hexa, with the only negative being the tuning isn’t someone’s preference. It’s refreshing to hear some actual concrete critiques. Thank you for keeping it honest 👏👏👏
My pleasure, you're welcome. Honesty is the best Policy!
Pro tip: Dont sand down your faceplates with a dremel... The heat fries tge BAs. Trust me, been there, done that. RIP my beloved hexas
Is it good for rock, metal songs?
I prefer good soundstage and good instrument separation.
It is okay with those genres but it won't have the bass impact that give rock and metal their emotion.
@@TheHonestAudiophile how is tinhifi t3 plus compared to it?
T3 Plus has more bass impact, more note weight and the Hexa is more detailed and resolving but has a more analytical tuning. T3 Plus is more musical.
@@TheHonestAudiophile which one should I get?
T3 Plus or hexa?
I listen to rock and metal most of the times and I prefer good soundstage and instrument separation with natural vocal and instrument sounds.
Please suggest me one.
I'm so much confused
And I'm from Bangladesh
T3 Plus in my opinion sounds better between the two for rock and metal.

No idea, my phone doesn't have a headphone output so I have to use dongle.
Yes. I use them with my iPhone 6s Plus
I'm considering getting the Hexa but I'm not sure if I'm better off grabbing the Dauntless, Titan or go a little bit extra for the Blessing 2.
I listen to metal mostly, I prefer a brighter sound signature though, and I care about imaging more than anything else. What would you recommend? Thx
Titan S, Dauntless and Hexa aren't really special for metal. Blessing 2 isn't really a metal IEM in my opinion. Xenns Mangird Top is amazing for metal. BUT keep in mind, I don't listen to a lot of metal. Between the Titan S, Dauntless and Hexa for metal I would lean to the Titan S.
A question for anyone. Have you ever broke an iem by dropping them? Or maybe stepping on them.
You have no Idea who much my Blon Bl03 suffers because of mu clumsy hand. But, now I treat my Hexa like a baby.
Tried 'em, very quickly returned 'em!
Totally understand.
Kindly give us your opinion on denon ah-d7200

@@TheHonestAudiophile you can always ask around if anyone got them
Which is the perfect IEM under 100$. With excellent highs, mids, lows, details & technicals...
Several different options that have the abilities but I don't believe anything is capable of being perfect.

I think you are misunderstanding. It is not Chateau, des papes😊
Huh?
Nope not falling for that again, I was/am SO disappointed with the Zeros that this sound exactly what I don't want to run into again. The TRUTHEAR zeros are borrrring. Unlike the salnotes zero which is what prompted me in the first place to get the TRUTHEAR version. Hexa, no go.
Thank you for the comment.
