I’ve used both Aria and Hexa. I use my IEMs to analyse songs to prepare for music gigs and general leisure. The Hexa has been much more useful for me. The Aria can get instruments muddled and hard to pick apart details. But I have to admit, the Aria is such a fun listen. The true Yin-Yang of IEMs at their price point 😅
What would you recommend for under 10000 rupees? An more into ar rahman and other classical ones but sometimes go with new genres. My priority is pristine sound quality and details.
Under 10k I would recommend Aria 2 and Simgot EM6L.

Hi! Do you think a DAC would improve the performance of thes IEMs based on your analysis I am leaning more towards the Aria. I have a macbook air so does a dac provide any significant gain over the 3.5mm audio jack? If yes do you have any recommendations under 5-6k? Thanks!
Yeah, You are Right. I purchased the Truthear Hexa and tried them from Amazon website months ago and I did NOT like Truthear Hexa IEMs at all. The Truthear Hexa sound a bit hollow in terms of sound quality, with little thin weak bad bass, not good. I returned the Truthear Hexa for a Full Refund because the Truthear Hexa IEMs did not sound good at all. That is very vice video, Thank you.
Hey, Glad you liked it. Thank you. Did you get anything else? Aria 2 is fuller sound in similar budget, Tangzu Fudu Verse has a very good Bass take. You can demo them.
@@rahbertl3085 Yes, it's a very nice warm set, I like it too. That's why I recommended it to you in above comment. (If you like warm relaxed sound, you will like it for sure)
Hi! I wanted to buy one of them but still confused. I have QC ultra headphones and had them EQed to bass= -8 , mid= +4 and treble= -4/-2 ( depending on song) . I might also play games. Could you suggest which one to go for longevity ( for use more than 7-8 yrs.) ?
Assuming by your EQ, you like thin and clea sound. For that Hexa is a fantastic IEM, however you might need to change the cable after some time. overall the IEM are good and sturdy. I can not say for 7 to 8 years, since all these IEMs are very new and durability is not tested for that long.
@@treblewellxtended got it! But, is it fun to listen or just boring in Truthear Hexa ? For more insights I used to have nothing ear 1 (balanced eq) previously as my daily driver and Sennheiser hd560s (stock eq) for gaming.
I have been using waner sg studio edition. I am planning to upgrade to Hexa. I want that 'studio quality' clarity and soundstage of waner. Is Hexa a good upgrade or is there any other option. I want similar features of waner se + an upgrade
Yes.. Today I got it. Compared to waner SE the reponse is FLAT, so too I 😳. Quality and resolution is just amazing. Even if a feather fell during recording, I can hear it. Waner was like listening in a wide hall, Hexa is like listening in a theatre. Truly a worthy upgrade, Thank U a lott ❤️🔥❤️🔥

Hello there ! I currently have 7hz Salnotes Zero with type C termination, and I really like the flat signature they provide. I am looking for an upgrade now. What options would you recommend? The ones on my radar are Hexa, Supermix 4 and Oriveti OD200. Also, I use Pixel 6a to drive my IEM. Which portable DAC would you recommend? And, as always, thanks for these informative videos !
@@treblewellxtended My experience with 7hz Zero has been very good. I like the well balanced signature and the imaging on these. But, at times it feels as if they are a tad bit shrill, and on really busy tracks, they tend to be overwhelming to listen to. Frankly speaking, I am planning to spend 15 to 20k on a really versatile pair of IEMs and a good DAC and exit this rabbit hole, haha. So, versatility, well balanced tuning and great details is what I am looking for. I hope I am making sense : )
@@vaibhavdukare7 my suggestion would be to go for Hexa it’s the best upgrade for you and amazing value for money and save up for a big upgrade like Blessing 3 or Studio 4.
@@treblewellxtended thanks for your suggestions ! I'll definitely consider Hexa now. Also, would you recommend getting a DAC that supports balanced output for Hexa, or would a simple dongle DAC like FiiO KA11 suffice?
You have keen eyes, yes Zen Dac is surprisingly powerful. On paper NO, in practicality it drives My HD600, and even Sundara I will be adding headphones in lineup soon. This month lot of new iem release will be there. Starting June I am starting Headphones series.
Hexa is better in every way except for the Bass when compared to May. May has one more advantage, if you want to daily drive something with good full body sound, it's a win because of type c and fun sound signature. No need of carrying a dongle.
@@syncwork No Aria 2 is a fantastic set, infact if you blind test I bet most of the people will choose aria for lux sound. Aria 2 is getting hate because of popularity and safe tuning. Otherwise it's a fantastic IEM.
Hey i bought hexa but somehow i liked my 3000rs bluethooth headphones also hexa is my first iem and i dont have dac , hexa sounded fuzzy lacked quality , please guide me if I invest on dac will I get good quality music listening experience, please guide me i just want to return it
DAC should not be an issue, since most of the mobiles and laptop have good dac nowadays, I would not suggest to directly buy dac. If possible try this into someone else's laptop and mobile once. If you like it there, then it is a DAC issue. And you can buy an affordable DAC like Moondrop Click for android OR Apple dongle for iPhone. If you still find it Fuzzy, chances are you do not like clean and technical sound. Then you should move to other set. In this price range some of the recommendations are: Aria 2 (Fun all rounder), Tangzu Fudu Verse (Warm Bass), EA500LM (Bright).
@@treblewellxtended After 2 weeks I have found that Dolby has its own EQ and it's messing the sound and now I don't use my trash headphones it's horrible treble was too much to handle ( I didn't found treble in my headphones but when I cleared all my wax in my ear 😅 i immediately found difference ) Now I love my hexa
@@jonnysilverhand-ln2xx haha Glad to hear that. Enjoy your Hexa. Try tip rolling as well Wide bore: separation and clarity Narrow bore: Bass Dolby sound option is more of a gimmick on phones, so keeping everything clean (pun intended) Sounds great.
Your music requires good Low end and Mid range. So I would suggest below on different budgets. 1: Truthear Zero Blue: 5,000 (Very good low end and vocal performance) 2: Aria 2: 7,500 (Overall luxurious sound, good Bass quality, and vocal forward mids) 3: IE200: 10,000 (disclaimer: Cable is not very good): Fantastic Lows and Treble If you can save a little and get Truthear Nova: 13,000: That will be the best deal for you, can be one set to do all for you. I hope this helps.
@@gamingxcapsule both are very good set. However, not recommended for Rap. Hexa will sound a little thin for Raps. EM6Ls bass will be a little less again for Punjabi music. However, if you want to go for either of these go for Simgot, it's absolutely resolving. And versatile set for gaming as well.
