Sounds like a warmer, lo-res Moondrop B2, emphasis on lo-res in the bass.

Bass sounds oddly restrained and treble still has some oddity. Solid enough otherwise.

Could use more bass but other than that, probably the best tunning of all the planars I've heard for my preferences. Resolving power is not on the same level as its competition but it has better imaging chops. Great price to performance.

Foam helps tame uppermids/treble. Amazing detail for price and new benchmark below $100. Better tuned "softer" Dusk with slighlty less accurate imaging. Note-weight can be light.

Unique neutral-bright sound signature, but overall feels a little unengaging. Clean, clear vocals with decent detail. Bass quality and impact, mids can feel lean, and treble can get a bit bright.

Truthear Hexa reviewed by Audionotions

Audionotions 5.5 Reviewer Score
Like the B2 but a step down in resolution and separation - very well-tuned - could use a tad more bass quantity and tighter bass (it sounds a bit fuzzy and loose - I guess they aren't using a very good DD), and better treble (this problem can be fixed by using wide bore tips). Great value for $79 - no comfort, fit, or QC issues like the B2 but in exchange.

Treble B
Highs sound lively and extended while remaining controlled. Detail retrieval keeps shimmer intact.

Soundstage B
The presentation supplies a believable venue outline where each instrument owns its pocket of space. The stage opens up nicely for live cuts.

Bass performance is average—present enough but rarely inspiring. It neither offends nor impresses.

It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.

Details C
You get the outline of textures, though the finer brushstrokes remain faint. Background information is audible but soft.

Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
