[@JasdAfterburner111]

I don't normally comment whenever I view such videos, but I just can't help but be pleased with this format and the way you go deeper into the technical aspect of the IEMs. I'll be looking at your other reviews as well as your future ones! Cheers!

[@imwhatsnew]

I'm glad you did then :)

[@Garrettdx1988]

I've watched a lot of Hexa reviews and this is easily the best. Looks like I found a new channel to binge watch. If you're reading this, Whats New, awesome work!

[@abhaykalsi158]

I've been watching your channel since your first IEM review. You've grown a lot in terms of production quality! Love the work you've done.

[@imwhatsnew]

Thanks abhay!! And thanks for sticking around :-)

[@sanchayanmaity5731]

Hello from India. Love the way you review stuff especially how you cover/explain FR graph or mention the nozzle size which is so useful. Thank you for your work.

[@Sarius-]

I liked the zeros a lot, but the wide nozzle and large housing caused me genuine pain after a couple days of daily driving. Might have to give the hexa a try. Really loving the laid back style of reviews. Keep them coming!

[@recondite_me]

Hey How were the Hexa, if you tried them out? Really curious as to which would you recommend?

[@Sarius-]

They're legitimately very good! I only returned them because I personally prefer IEMs with a metal housing.

[@recondite_me]

@@Sarius- Which would you recommend for someone who just wants really Good sounding earphones, with certainly a decent good bass. Never used IEM's before. Previous earphones used include Soundcore Liberty air 2, Sony XB series, Air pods 2nd gen. The Sony XB being my favorite amongst them.

[@Sarius-]

I settled on a different pair, so I haven't really kept up with recent releases. Still, I can earnestly recommend the Hexa; they're extremely good for the price- though they might not have enough bass for you.

[@recondite_me]

@@Sarius- Sorry I actually meant between The Truthear Zero & Truthear Hexa? 😂 Considered the above posted reference. My bad, I should've made that clear!!! 😂😂

[@gajelas8354]

how is the technical performance compared with the Olina SE?

[@simphoniaubec]

i really liked how you reviewed the technical aspect. A lot of reviewers tend to overhype that part. So basically, the best part about this IEM would be the tuning right?

[@Boemtie]

Hello, thanx for the review, how are they for gaming?

[@matusjurcik6974]

Butttt, as time, went by/ finding the right eartips, fit, burn in ritual i do with all my twsz/ iemz, t3plus started ta come tagether for my listens...like you were saying, with the hexa, cant really pinpoint, why its so good, its just damn good.....with my tin 3 plusez, best thing i errd about em, is they do nothing to offend...in my listens, nice subass, neutral mids, really nice treble on the t3plus..its all comin together..great review on the hexaz, WN...your reviews are funny and ya tell the truth....peace..

[@imwhatsnew]

Perceptive! .. Atleast in the mid bass. And good morning to you too!

[@mauerchisp4814]

Very informative video! Yeees! In the end the most important thing is the fitting, even though it depends on each person and up to a degree the tips.., I wanted to ask, which one would you think is the most comfortable one? For me Olina SE was the most comfortable, along with Dunu Titan S. Also do you have an advice on an IEM with good Rumble/ slam? Kinda for orchestral music :) Thank youu! Hope you're ok! very nice and calming review!

[@imwhatsnew]

Thank you!! I love the Olina SE for fit as well as sound !

I just bought them and agree with your conclusion! What would be the next step-up with more "exciting mids...etc" but keeping the clarity? Moondrop Kato maybe ? (For Around 180-300 USD) would really appreciate your advice! and great channel and content!!

[@imwhatsnew]

@@genoddd444 it's great ...but particularly with the dark tips not the lighter coloured tips...the lighter colour tips make it a bit too treble forward overall imho

[@s1nonnn589]

In terms of technicality, especially in detail, soundstage, and imaging which one better, hexa or dioko?

[@imwhatsnew]

I'd have to go back and a/b test them for technicalities.. Off the top of my head I remember the dioko having some wonkiness in the treble and not particularly wide staging either. Did a whole review on it if you're interested.

[@jerzilla]

What replacement cable would you recommend for the hexa?

[@emrealacahan]

If you guys cosidired on gaming, which one is better? Hexa's or Zero OG's?

Have you by chance listened to dunu kima? If yes how is it compared to hexa?

[@imwhatsnew]

Not yet!

[@tktuetran5351]

Loved your analysis on the salnotes zero for gaming. Would you say the hexa is just capable as the salnotes zero for budget gaming?

[@imwhatsnew]

I want to say it can handle busier situations better.. So if there's a lot going on sound wise if you're playing call of duty mw2, this one might be better.but I haven't acutlaly a/b comapred them

[@WakeUpB2P]

Hi, thx for the review, just wondering, can i drive those on my smartphone ? I mean are they easy to drive ? I have a old Samsung galaxy s8 and i'm wondering if i'll be abble to enjoy the Hexa and the Project Red iems completely just plugged into my phone.

[@imwhatsnew]

A good dac dongle should enhance the experience due to better components without having to spend much but even without it these are not that hard to drive in general.

[@KelvinKamsg]

Very nice, the quick FR graphics are clean and far less intrusive than conventional presentations.

[@VirajChudasama-cc8kb]

Hexa vs simgot em6l which one better

[@edi4ever1]

what is the best warm IEM under $100?

[@imwhatsnew]

For em the Olina SE is one of the nicest I've heard in that budget

[@KseRBanshee]

Thank you for the detail review. Speaking about clean sound, how would you compare between this and the Etymotic ER2 series or Dunu Titan S?

[@imwhatsnew]

Haven't heard the titan s...the er2 is very ...different...I'd say the hexa has the BA quickness of reproduction...but for timbre the er2 is more natural..

[@KseRBanshee]

@@imwhatsnew thank you for your prompt reply. I am no audiophile so I’m not really familiar with the sound signature that I prefer. My preferred genres in favourite order are pop/ballad, R&B, Vocalist, EDM. I think I like clean sound, clear vocal, high resolution, big sound stage, high details, not too bassy. The only reference I have is the Sennheiser HD555 and I quite like it. If I can only buy 1 of those, what would you suggest or do you have other options in mind. My budget is sub $100 for a start but I can stretch it a bit. Thank you!

[@imwhatsnew]

@@KseRBanshee the er2se is not for everyone because of the fix..the hexa is more firendly and I'm willing to bet, easier to like and use everyday tbh. Another beautiful option for $100 is Olina SE. ..in the end, you guys have to try em out to find out.

[@KseRBanshee]

@@imwhatsnew I ordered the ER2SE and it just arrived today. It sounds a bit too bright (or should I say too sharp) for me and the bass is too light. The only thing I like is the vocal sounds so good. Would ER2XR fix this or should I go with something else? What do you think about Truthear Hexa or Shuoer S12? Thank you

[@imwhatsnew]

@@KseRBanshee try the foam tips first ..else try XR. The hexa is great.

[@azad9294]

How is this compared to Blon bl03?

[@ff228f1x]

How good is the passive noise cancelling compared to something like AirPods Pro 2 anc

[@imwhatsnew]

Silicone tips are generally not that great for passive isolation. Foam tips usually do much better.

[@mahfoojkhan5707]

As always, clean reviews with precise points. If possible please review tin t3 plus, i know they are old but they are very capable under 80 usd price bracket and was wondering where you will place them among likes of Aria, truthear hexa or even olina se( though i know se are better capable overall)

[@RandomGuy-om1vy]

T3 Plus = Aria.

[@venomspidey336]

Will these be good for music production ? Also thanks for the video.

[@imwhatsnew]

I think k for music production, well tuned headphones or speakers are far better

[@iamsathya]

Which iem sounds good under 10k right now...?

[@imwhatsnew]

Zetian wu perhaps? There are a few other great options too

[@iamsathya]

@@imwhatsnew hi sir thank you for the reply, Zetian Wu was priced around 11.5k but my budget is between 7 to 10k, can you pls share any iem that falls into this price category in India.

[@imwhatsnew]

If you get the zetian wu on sale for under 10 It will probably outperform most of the other options.. Otherwise I've made a video on three incredible Iems under $100. You might find that useful..

[@HobbyTalk]

What price you think it’s worth?

[@imwhatsnew]

I mean, the hexa is very good for $80

[@sathyaki]

3 times as good as the 7hz salnotes zeros, considering the price?

[@imwhatsnew]

Er...I don't know how to define three times but ..overall far more capable.

[@sathyaki]

@@imwhatsnew Thanks for the reply.

[@VioletGiraffe]

So how do they compare to Truthear x Crinacle Zero?? Why put it in the title if you don't cover that?

[@imwhatsnew]

Ah, there was a bonus little mini review in there..I cut it out and uploaded it separately. I changed the title on my end but for some reason KZbin isn't changing the title. Some kind of bug... !

[@VioletGiraffe]

​@@imwhatsnew, I see, thank you! I did check the pinned comment and the video description for the Zero review, but didn't see any links to one. I appreciate your work! Just a bit irritated I didn't find what I came for.

[@imwhatsnew]

@@VioletGiraffe I did a full review of the project red which I found to be better than the original zero. Perhaps that'd be on interest :)

[@Mare0912]

Hey, I've just discovered your channel and binged a few videos. I love laid back the style - keep on going. I am in the market for some Chi-Fi IEM. Right now I am sporting the Cambridge Audio Melomania Touch. Best sound I've heard so far in an IEM - but they just don't want to fit my ears properly, fall out all the time and I hate the touch concept... :) I had the Soundcore Liberty Pro 3 at home for like 30min and sent them back immediatly, because the sound was just bad imho. My current favorite after some investigation is the KZ ZSX but after this video I am unsure, if the Truthear Hexa would suit me better? I would like to have clear separation of the instruments and a nice imaging. I do like bass but for the sake of overall quality I would take step back in that matter. So am I on the right track with the Truthear Hexa?

[@imwhatsnew]

The hexa does fit those criteria pretty well.

[@lth_lch]

How is the layering/separation compared to the ER2? Budget chi-fi has been getting good to the point I feel like I'll be needing to upgrade from my Etys soon, or move up to the ER4, lol.

[@paulosilva8200]

What do you mean .. prefer. It's shouty for loud volumes . And the tone is a but thin. The drums sounds thin
