Truthear Hexa VS ARTTI T10 PRO

Youtube Video Summary

Legendary Series kickoff: Truthear Hexa gets a “legacy” deep-dive with a community poll deciding its status—60% yes votes puts it on a Hall-of-Fame list; otherwise it’s a “legendary failure.” Notable praise exists: Super* Review gave a rare five-star, Resolve called it “insanely good”, and Crinacle rated it A+ for tone and B for tech, on par with far pricier favorites. The review asks a single question throughout: is Hexa truly legendary, merely noteworthy, or just another competent IEM?

Build and kit are a mixed bag. The shell pairs a smoky resin body with a black metal faceplate and a comfortable, compact fit; the recessed 2-pin means flat-pin cables won’t seat properly. The stock tips are excellent and genuinely useful, but the cable feels thin, tangles easily, and the channel markings are hard to read; the case is serviceable but plain. Overall presentation: solid shell, great tips, forgettable cable and case.

Sonically, Hexa presents neutral-leaning tonality with airy, detailed upper mids—sparkly, airy, dreamy—and a measurement curve that looks “right,” yet in-ear performance exposes anemic bass and limited slam/dynamics. Technicalities are decent rather than class-leading; staging isn’t the holographic showcase some might want. Comparisons note Truthear Nova (more bass but hot upper-mids), and alternatives like AFUL Explorer, Moondrop Aria 2, and other well-tuned planars as potentially stronger all-rounders depending on taste. Final take: a respectful 7/10—tonally appealing and special in ways, but not personally crowned legendary; the community vote makes the call.

Youtube Video Summary

The ARTTI T10 Pro is a compact, metal-shelled planar with an earbud-like footprint that fits easily and isolates well. It ships with a surprisingly nice modular screw-termination cable (3.5 mm and 4.4 mm included), a stable chin slider, clear L/R markings, two sets of ear tips, and a tidy branded zip case. Build feels solid, the nozzle is well executed, and the black faceplate looks sharp—overall a very complete package for the price.

Sonically it hits bassy, detailed, and clean: a rising bass shelf, energetic upper mids, and airy treble extension that reads cohesive in-ear rather than etched. Technicals overperform—imaging, sparkle, note weight, and soundstage all impress—while the main caveat is a slight noise floor. Versus peers, it avoids the mid-treble glare of sets like S12 Pro and NiceHCK F1 Pro, feels more engaging than the safer S08, and offers a more refined, mildly V-shaped take compared with Kiwi Ears K4. In short, this is a “planar that doesn’t sound like a planar” in the best way—highly recommended and an easy default pick under $100 for those aligned with this tuning.

Youtube Video Summary

The ARTTI T10 PRO follows the OG T10—still a value monster—but pivots to a different flavor: it’s warmer, bassier, and not as squeaky-clean, yet remains surprisingly airy. Expect more bass, laid-back vocals with less 2k shout, a touch less bright, and better scaling with volume, while keeping a sense of openness. The overall profile is warm-but-airy, evoking a mini Symphonium Meteor vibe that’s easy to enjoy across casual listening.

Think of it as a cheaper Timeless 2—similar vibe (silver-nozzle tuning style), just a bit warmer and less technical. If the OG T10 is already in rotation, the clearer “pure performance” step is something like an ET42, making the T10 PRO more of a sidegrade for those wanting extra low-end weight without killing the air. Value still favors the original T10, but the T10 PRO earns a recommendation for its distinct, bass-leaning twist that stays engaging rather than muddy.

Youtube Video Summary

Truthear Hexa targets the sweet spot at $80 with a hybrid 1DD + 3BA array and a tuning that hugs a neutral reference. Build is clean and understated: metal faceplate over a translucent 3D-printed shell, compact “medium-small” footprint, and a straight 6.2 mm nozzle that holds tips securely. The stock cable isn’t flashy but handles beautifully, and the lightweight set fits securely and comfortably—easy ingress/egress, even sleep-friendly. Accessories are simple but useful (soft pouch, multiple silicone sets, foam tips).

Sonically, this is genuinely neutral with a light sub-bass lift for body, centered vocals, and treble that’s smooth yet well-extended without plasticky BA glare. Cymbals and brushes have convincing timbre, micro-detail is respectable, and imaging is solid for the price (not exaggerated). Bass quantity sits in a Goldilocks zone—never boomy—though the attack is a touch soft, trading incisiveness for ease. Technical performance overachieves for the bracket, but it’s not a giant-killer; and that neutral tonality won’t flatter weak recordings.

Contextually, Hexa’s tonality edges out close rivals: more warmth than ER2XR’s leaner lower mids, smoother and more natural treble timbre than Legacy 4 (which answers back with snappier bass texture and punchier separation), and less incisive but more extended top-end than Blessing 2, which still leads in midrange resolution and imaging sharpness. Aggregate take: five stars for value and tuning coherence—an easy recommendation at this price for listeners aligned with a neutral, mid-focused, clean presentation and a comfortable, compact fit.

Youtube Video Summary

Truthear Hexa brings a clean, neutral presentation in a sturdy, smoky shell where the drivers are visible. The fit is slightly larger than some rivals but still comfortable, with solid build integrity at the price. Accessories are generous—familiar Truthear cable (similar to the Zero), a pouch, and multiple tip options—though the cable feels a step below premium inclusions elsewhere.

Sonically, Hexa focuses on micro detail, clarity, and coherence, delivering more revealing male/female vocals than warmer sets. For gaming, it shines with precise imaging, depth, and verticality—excellent directional audio for tactical cues—while remaining composed in busy scenes. In close-quarters maps a warmer set like Dunu Kima can feel more “atmospheric,” but Hexa’s neutrality keeps separation crisp; in open-world/Battle Royale scenarios it’s confidently competitive and sits near the Zero in overall positional performance. At around $80, it’s an easy add to the budget recommendation list for music, casual play, and competitive gaming alike.

Youtube Video Summary

ARTTI T10 Pro steps into the relaxed planar club with meaningful upgrades: an all-metal shell that’s smaller and sturdier, a pocketable hard case, and a slick modular cable (3.5 mm & 4.4 mm). Fit is easier thanks to the slimmer nozzles and smart venting—no pressure build-up or driver flex—while the familiar 14 mm planar still only asks for a decent dongle to shine. At $110 MSRP (often around $95 street), the accessory set and build punch well above the tag.

Tonally, this is a warm-tilted, easy-listening planar: sub-bass rumbles, mid-bass hits with tidy punch, and the mids carry a lush body without smearing. Female vocals can sit a touch behind the mix, but timbre stays natural. Treble is smooth with sparkle—non-fatiguing at sane volumes, with only mild edge creeping in when cranked. Technical chops are confident for the class: tight bass texture, clear micro-details that don’t shout, solid imaging, and stage that’s about average in width yet fully reveals well-mastered spatial cues.

Against peers, it sits between LETSHUOER’s S08 and S12 Pro: fuller low-end and more air than S08 (which favors female vocals and loud listening comfort), but less top-end shine/detail pop than the S12 Pro. Versus Hidizs MP145 (red nozzles), tuning is very close, yet the T10 Pro wins on comfort, accessories, and value; MP145 still stretches a wider stage. Net result: a versatile all-rounder that suits most genres and listeners—just not die-hard trebleheads, bassheads, or those whose libraries lean heavily female-vocal-forward. For everyone else, this is an easy recommendation at the price.

Youtube Video Summary

ARTTI T10 Pro brings a slick metal shell (black or silver), a pocketable case, two sets of tips, and a soft four-core cable with interchangeable 3.5/4.4 mm plugs on a standard two-pin connector. The fit is standout—small, low-profile, and comfy enough for sleeping. Tuning skews balanced with a bass boost: neutral-ish ear gain, smooth treble with a 10 k dip, and plenty of air.

The bass hits hard and textured with that fast planar attack/decay—clean, minimal bleed, less bouncy than a big DD slam. Mids stay natural and slightly forward without turning shouty; female vocals read neutral while male vocals gain meat from mid-bass warmth. Treble is smooth yet airy, adding micro-detail and openness; the extra air can feel a bit intense on longer sessions, though it makes strings sound fluid and well-extended. Technicals impress for the price: crisp separation, convincing 3D imaging, and excellent footstep pickup in shooters like Apex—easily a two-controller gaming nod.

Versus peers, the former favorite S08 plays more relaxed up top with less air and slightly less bass; T10 Pro feels more natural in vocals where S08 can get a touch forward. The Explorer (DD) is warmer and more laid-back with lighter bass and softer treble for pure chill. For an all-rounder that stays fun, T10 Pro takes the pick; choose S08 for easy long listens, Explorer for coffee-and-book vibes. At around $100, this is planar done right—punchy textured bass, neutral mids, smooth airy treble—and it earns a confident three-star recommendation.

Youtube Video Summary

The Artti T10 Pro aims for a warm, easy listen: a slightly L-shaped planar with notable sub-bass weight, thicker mids, and a gently tilted treble that keeps things fatigue-free and avoids typical planar timbre. Build and ergonomics impress with a lightweight aluminum shell and a quality modular cable, and the overall tonality mimics a polished dynamic driver rather than a tech-forward planar.

That same bass lift, however, can cloud the upper mids and air, pulling the stage inward and trading sharp separation for a smoother flow. Reducing energy below ~150 Hz by a couple dB—or using a breathable micro-tape vent mod—cleans the sub-bass, brings vocals forward, reveals more detail, and restores balance without chasing extra treble. As tuned stock, it suits treble-sensitive listeners and fans of warm, relaxed planars; those seeking max resolution, openness, and speed should look to the brighter, tech-centric planar camp.
