​@@LLMTest1024 Hexa is not the most "fun" IEM around with it's sound signature being almost dead neutral, but it's technical performance is most impressive. We as different people, of course, have different priorities. The way you downplay something just because you yourself don't like it is just downright stupid. You are entitled to your own opinion but remember that other people are also reading your comment and might take it into consideration. If you can't point out the objective pros and cons of an IEM while keeping your own opinion seperated then you shouldn't be talking about IEM. This is why we go to reviewers like Crin instead of some random uneducated comments on YT. Like in this video for example, Crin pointed out different groups of people who will hate and love the signature of the Nova.

[@aRandomMe987]

@@LLMTest1024 You are dodging the argument by trying to nitpick on a single word that I said, which hold no relevancy in the topic at hands. But I'll still carter to your pathetic attempt at trying to save yourself face. And yes, while do not know of the extent of Crin's education, his multiple successful collabs and the fact he is preparing to open his own company is a statement. That and the fact I'm not saying such expertise is rare within the community (even though it is), I'm calling YOU uneducated. If your thick skull is still not getting it then I'm saying that you are stupid instead of praising Crin, got it?

since he doesn't usually like to review super endgame stuff, I wouldn't get my hopes about most of these. he only reviews high end IEMs if they are game changers in their price bracket like the FatFreq Maestro etc. so the Mest, Monarch and everything else in that range just don't seem likely. although since you commented this, he did do a Supermix 4 video, so there is that. more proof that he cares about the sub $500 market the most thought and I think that's very consumer friendly at the end of the day :)

I wish there was an easy way of checking the nozzle size on most iems out there (please point me in the right direction in case there is). My ear canal is tiny to the point where the truthear zero blue would start hurting over a short period of time, and the hexa, the lypertek tevi and the current tangzu zetian wu all have the tendency to slide out somewhat, even with the smallest tips coming alongside the iems

[@gaspaider]

Around that price range it depends on what you're looking for as crin said. If you like the idea of the Harman sound signature you can go for it, but there's very strong competition like the PULA PA02, the different planars like the Dioko and S12 line etc etc

@@LLMTest1024 I do actually think it was a mistranslation on their part, since other parts of the package says Halo rather than Hola, but I think they did settle on Hola as a way to signify it being a product to introduce you to truthear IEMs. Your first IEM. The same with how the Gate is named in a way that also may also represent your first IEM, or an introduction to the market

Hiya Crin! G'day from 'Straya! Shamefully I did this before your store opened, but I flew to Singapore to pick up a pair of Truthear Zeroes to replace a pair of Moondrop Arias, and i've gotta say... In terms of a bang for buck comparison they're probably my favourite IEMs on the market. They sound really nice. Crispy highs, deep bass that isn't too muddy, really well tuned for the kinda music i like. Might grab a pair of Novas from the Hangout when i'm in Singapore next time. The only thing I don't like about my Zeroes is the stock eartips... Which i replaced with some nice foam tips. I blame that on my ears and not the headphones themselves.
