    I forgot to mention why I used the stock wide bore tips. I didn't use foam tips. I used the wide bore tips because they fit me a little better than the narrow bore tips and I also found that they added a smidge more air and space along with a tad more energy and sparkle in the treble.

      @@justinip9832 love final audio e series tips but I don’t necessarily think they bring more energy to my ears at least. They do bring out a little more bass but you lose a bit of that sparkle in the treble. JVC spiral dots are wide bore and those are great if you’re looking for a bit more clarity and slightly larger soundstage

      Hi, I was wondering if this would be a good choice for R&B-like male vocals?
      I listen to vocals only and was looking at these Hexas and the new Delcis at this price point.

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  6 місяців тому +1

      @hmf33 it's a bit leaning into the cold side in the upper mids and treble. Vocals also lack a bit of body weight and sound a little thin. The Hexa is more of an analytical listen then an enjoy listen.
      Sorry Ivent not heard the Delci.

    I am a big fan of movie soundtracks and i have come to understand that iems with solid technicalities with decent tuning is highly essential for this.
    Especially in the busier passages.

    I sometimes watch and end up researching new IEMs. Every time, it always ends with me putting one in the basket. But even after three years, I've never pressed that checkout button. My Fiio FH1s, which I bought at a steal three years ago ($35 instead of $60), are still good enough. They don't sound like the cheap $10 IEMs I was using before. I am willing to spend $300 for an IEM, but until then, I'm going to use my FH1s to death and hope that by the time comes, there will be nicer IEMs in that price bracket.

I hope i made the good choice ,but i wanted tell you once as you said the TIN P1 PLUS require power ,i abbinated them with E1DA 9038 SUMUS which is powerful enough the hear the smooth bass ruble of the P1 as the E1DA 9038 latest edition which i prefer much more than the Fiio BTR5 2021 which didn't drive so well as the E1da which i reccomend and if you have the chance review it as it is siple but very efficint and cost effeticve.Cheers

      I have 7hz sonus in mind but i am not sure because hexa seems to be better in almost everyway except for the mid bass , so i am confused . I like my sound to be punch bassy and engaging too😅

      I've not heard 7hz Sinus.
      Another to consider is the TRI Meteor but you won't have quite as much details as Hexa.
      Simgot EA500LM is another option (review coming soon)

    Since this is a natural IEM, can it be EQed to sound better than other engaging IEMs? Because reviewers don't mention this.

    I'm considering getting the Hexa but I'm not sure if I'm better off grabbing the Dauntless, Titan or go a little bit extra for the Blessing 2.
    I listen to metal mostly, I prefer a brighter sound signature though, and I care about imaging more than anything else. What would you recommend? Thx

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Рік тому +1

      Titan S, Dauntless and Hexa aren't really special for metal. Blessing 2 isn't really a metal IEM in my opinion. Xenns Mangird Top is amazing for metal. BUT keep in mind, I don't listen to a lot of metal. Between the Titan S, Dauntless and Hexa for metal I would lean to the Titan S.

    Nope not falling for that again, I was/am SO disappointed with the Zeros that this sound exactly what I don't want to run into again. The TRUTHEAR zeros are borrrring. Unlike the salnotes zero which is what prompted me in the first place to get the TRUTHEAR version. Hexa, no go.
