Truthear Hexa VS Simgot Supermix 4

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.

Build and comfort are front-and-center: a cozy shell with a metal faceplate, excellent ergonomics, and easy tip fitment. The red/blue two-pin sockets and the gunmetal cable add a premium touch, while the case is the familiar, functional Simgot pouch. Hype is warranted at least on construction—this is the most comfortable Simgot shell in the lineup so far.

Sonically, Supermix 4 follows a Harman-style curve with clean channel matching, solid resolution, and bass that balances sub-bass presence with controlled mid-bass. Treble can “touch the sun”—slightly bright on certain tracks—and the very low impedance makes it source/tip sensitive; tip rolling and even a basic Apple dongle often settle it down. Technicalities are strong for the price: clarity, shimmer on cymbals, and lifelike guitars impress, though some will crave a smoother top end.

Against peers, it surpasses EW200 in refinement and comfort and feels like a cleaner, easier-to-live-with replacement for EM6L. Compared with AFUL Explorer, this is the more forward/bright take versus Explorer’s laid-back vibe; versus CCA Hydro, vocals are steadier while Hydro punches harder down low. Kiwi Ears Quintet shows similar intent but has quirks around 10 kHz; DaVinci is a touch more refined yet pricier, and some will prefer Supermix 4’s shell and value. Net result: a strong recommendation for listeners wanting a comfortable, versatile, mildly vivid IEM that competes above its bracket—great for music and even gaming—so long as a hint of brightness is acceptable.

SIMGOT Supermix 4 comes out swinging: a quad-brid with both planar and PZT drivers that somehow sounds buttery smooth and shockingly coherent—more like a single driver than a parts bin. Upper-mids and treble sit neutral and refined, avoiding the usual glare; tuning reads as Harman 2019 done right—what feels like endgame Harman. Versus sets like Supernova/Nova/Chopin, the SM4 brings cleaner extension, higher resolving power, and a smoother, more polished treble where cymbals and consonants land naturally. Note this is a pre-production unit, so final tuning may still shift.

Bass quantity measures lower than some peers, but that puts the low end in the background and boosts separation, layering, and transient clarity; texture is tidy, impact respectable, and decay well-judged. Vocals are a highlight—accurate, balanced, complete in extension, and consistently non-fatiguing. Treble adds a sprinkle of liveliness without turning sharp. In A/Bs: it feels like a cleaner, more energetic Origin; a smoother, more technical all-rounder than CK LVX/Pula (though those keep a fuller, dreamier flavor); trades blows with Dusk (Dusk hits harder and runs brighter, SM4 wins mid/upper-mid detail and vocal completeness); and out-separates Hype 4 while Hype 4 remains the bigger, bassier fun pick. As an all-rounder this is top-tier; if priced around Dusk/Hype 4 it’s a strong value, while a ~$500 tag would push it into diminishing returns.

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

Supermix 4 emerges as the standout of Simgot’s quartet for both fit and build, pairing a classy brushed bronze faceplate with the most refined tuning of the group. As a quad-brid, it delivers superior cleanliness, imaging, and depth perception versus EM6L, EA1000, and EA500LM, with tighter separation and more micro-detail; its presence region feels a touch more laid-back than EA1000, keeping gunshots from turning shouty. Footsteps could be slightly more elevated for sweaty lobbies, but that’s easily addressed with EQ while preserving the set’s natural balance.

Across titles it’s the most dependable all-rounder: in Valorant, the added cleanliness and precision outclass EA500LM (bloated, spicy gunshots) and nudge ahead of EM6L/EA1000; in Rainbow Six Siege, clarity, separation, and positional cues make it the clear pick. Call of Duty is closer—EA500LM is a solid budget choice and EA1000 can get intense—but Supermix 4 still pulls more footstep detail while staying composed; in Apex Legends it trades blows with EM6L yet edges ahead with extra information retrieval. Overall verdict: Supermix 4 wins, with EM6L in second, EA1000 around B-, and EA500LM around C+; a clean, precise, and thoroughly engaging pick for competitive and casual gaming alike.

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.
