Hexa is a marvel at $80. And there’s a new version of Hexa targeting even stricter compliance with this new tuning direction. So maybe not exclusive to the higher price tiers 🤞
Ayyyy, senpai noticed me, hello there o/. Not gonna lie, I thought of including Hexa in the list, but in my memory, Hexa suffer from weird bass direction/texture and kind of lean/small/brittle kind of BA sound (lords know I tried my best to tip swap for it, but still no help), I'd rather recommend a good entry single DD regardless of price. That's why I thought It's not the same thing (given that how thin it sounded... Looking forward to a new version of Hexa tho! I hope it matches my expectation to what the original Hexa should have been (at least to my ears :X)
@@catadegen Here's hoping 🤞 Hexa Pure sounded a little flat and 2D at SIAS, but they said tuning is not final and seems they want to improve that aspect.
Doesn't JM1 have a flat bass target, and people just set the bass to their preference? Having heard (albeit briefly) KE4 and Davinci, the bass wasn't quite right in either for me
It's like Hexa's bass sound really weird to my ears, but Blessing 3's bass sounds almost perfect to me. In a lot of scenario, graphs are deceptive, unfortunately.
i have some issues with ALL dac's, crack noise and racket (especially when use 2+ programs that and mowing mouse), tryied everything maybe you have fast solution. Becaouse i think it's mobo problem
All i can think of is... connector problem, bit rate problem, and buffer problem. If every dacs have the same problem with the same source (aka your pc/mobo), then the problem is on the source side forsure.
@@or1ginalxs With my topping dacs, there's a driver for it and i can change something on the software page... with other dacs, either there's an app for it or I legit have no idea :/
its about the library you listen to, if you listen to jpop alot i image variations is the only choice while for more relaxed or instrumental libraries, the new meta may be preferred...
It depends on what kind of instrumental, maybe for jazz and blues which have more low end. But orchestral and classical, you want as much treble and air as you can get
It's just, there's a tuning trend for earphones happening right now, and the new tuning trend exhibit different behavior from the old, famous Harman tuning. And I randomly cooked a video to talk about what i think of it :D
@@catadegen As a casual, I only knew tuning as "that thing people do to instruments so they sound a specific way", does that mean people can also tune headsets so they can be "heard" in a specific way? :o that's interesting, I would've never thought about it until finding this video out, if you ever decided to make a video explaining what headset tuning is I think it'd do pretty well
@@ittybittyshinystar Yes, it's a thing! Because there's a lot of physical limitation in terms of acoustics, people do use digital processing to compensate for some kind of tuning deficiency, you may search wavelet for mobile/ autoeq or equalizer apo for pc for more info. Of course, eq is not elixir for everything, there's drawback and things that cannot be fixed as well.
Haha, same. Took me more than half of the video to realise that this wasnt about a tool to tune instruments. No clue how i got here but super interesting that theres a community around stuff like this

God, if the hexas were comfortable, so many people would be able to just stop there. I'd love to see more meta around 100-ish
Couldn't you tape... something to make them a bit less uncomfortable at least?
And if only it sounded like it graphs instead of having awkward, muted sub and midbass.
Hexa is an alternative below $100. At best it could be a more sensible choice given that other Meta sets have a heavy bass emphasis.

I have a guess that probably the sweet spot is something in between the Harman and the Meta targets. Not too thin, neither too thick.
Subtonic storm 👀
haha, the final e500 from long long time ago have that kind of tuning and it is so cheap nowadays :))))), i have one and sound warm and beautiful
you can check sqiglink, the mid range is similar to the JM1
ohhhhh the good old e500, I was a proud owner of e2000 as well, that sounds great iirc.

@@catadegen how i can reduce or do smth with buffer, connection must be ok(tryied another devices and port with adapters)
