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

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.

Default neutral rec under 100$. ER2XR still better, but Titan S has better fit, timbre and stage. Easy to drive. Can get slightly shouty for my library. If you don't mind more bass, Olina is a better pick.

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.

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.

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.
