Fanmusic Truthear Hexa 1DD+3BA Hybird Earphones with 0.78 2Pin Cable Earbuds

Audio is fanastic. As far as fit, I wear medium size eartips, of the plethora of eartip types and sizes provided, I chose the recommended clear-silicone small-diameter hole eartips and they have a fantastic airtight seal! They don't slide-out over time either! In fact, I dropped my phone back accident while attached to my ears and they dangled from my ears! I was impressed!Stock cable is fine but I wanted to have a basic mic so I bought also on Amazon a Tripowin mic cable and it works perfectly with this and my CableMatters USB-C adapter so I can charge while listening because i had to email LE Audio or whoever chinese company sells this which is left and right, because only the stock cable has clear enough instructions & indications on how to assemble properly so the phase (directional sound?) is correct. Disclaimer, i'm not an expert nor do i have a way to measure/graph the sound, I simply bought these because famous youtube audiophile Crinnacle has tried and tested them. He also has the largest database (accessible to anyone) of graphs of nearly every IEM and headphones in existence.I upgraded from Moondrop Chu, (which broke after only 3-months but they gave-me my $ back while i was waiting for these to ship so i can't really compare easily except thru memory) To reap max benefits i prob. need a dedicated expensive DAC dongle e.g. S9 Pro but i've been using CableMatters 2-in-1 charge & listen 3.5mm which claims it can do hi-fi sound up to 32-bit/365Khz while fast-charging allows UBH Upscaler feature within Samsung Music app and allows use of mic (if your cable has one). This doesn't include a mic but i purchased one seperately via Tripowin cable for only $15 i haven't yet tested. I tested with my FLAC audio files on my no headphone jack Samsung Note 10+ so far. I will test with Windows 10 laptop, too.I mostly game and listen to music.Three diff. sets of eartips are included which is great but idk which provides best audio for my usage so i contacted LE Audio.The instructions say something about to not wear these longer than an hour or to take a break but I can wear them longer than that just fine, perhaps it's just a disclaimer or something to take a break...I make sure to remove them (slowly with twist) before going to bed though so I don't crush them or tangle-up the cable, and to protect my ears. I don't have a lot of earwax because I regularly clean my earholes daily without using Q-tips. I do dry wipe these on my clean 100% soft cotton shirt whenever sticking them back into my ears though. I put them on, and suggest others do too, as if i'm putting-on earplugs, pull-up ear with one hand and insert slowly into ear then wrap over your ear. TLC. ;-)Pics shown show: black stock included cable, and the grey cable is the $15 Tripowin cable i bought (also from here, Amazon) so i could have a mic. Red tip goes into right ear, blue mark of two-pin represents the positive end, which should be the lower pin on both ears.

best fit and packaging. good for gaming

I'm not a huge audio snob. I don't have a special DAC or amp, and I don't exactly know the audiophile lingo, but what I can tell you is that these are good!They're the right amount of bass where it doesn't drown out the rest of the instruments, but still hits! They definitely aren't for super bass heads (unless you EQ them, I guess).My biggest gripe with them is comfort. They stick out a lot, and the eartips are a little more rough than I'd like, so when I take them off I can feel the fatigue. Not a deal breaker in my opinion, but I might look for replacements in the future.I've been dipping my toes into the chi-fi hobby, and have bought a few budget headphones/IEMs, and will compare them below.My background is that I own:7hz salnotes zero (IEM)Koss KSC75X (Open back ear hook headphones)Samson SR850 (Semi/open back headphones)AKG K361 (Closed back headphones)And I heard about the hype for the Hexa, so I picked them up.And I won't lie, I didn't notice much of a difference. I was like "huh? I paid $80 for this?"Then I tried the other headphones and didn't realize what I was missing.If I were to rank them by sound quality:Hexa > K361 > KSC75X > Salnotes Zero > SR850The K361 is pretty close, and being $20 more that makes sense, but it isn't as compressed. I personally like how an IEM makes the music feel more compressed (smaller sound stage) and punchy, but I enjoy using them and the Hexa interchangeably. They're both great options, but from my testing so far, I prefer the high end on the Hexa.The KSC75X actually is extremely good, maybe even on par with the Hexa, but the almost non existent low end makes the other two edge them out.The salnotes zero feels sort of like the Hexa but it's just missing a bit of clarity and separation in the higher end. Overall they're pretty similar and definitely better price/performance.The SR850s are great too, but they're a little too lean in the low end for my preference and the ear cups just aren't very comfortable. They don't hold a candle to the Hexa in the high end detail either.Would I recommend these?Yes, but only if you're looking to jump a bit deeper into the audio hobby. The other headphones/IEMs I listed are significant upgrades if you've been using cheap wireless earbuds or random headphones from the closet. In my opinion, for the average person, the extra high end clarity isn't really worth the $60 upcharge from the ~$20 options I listed. It's definitely a point of diminishing returns, but it's worth the jump if you really like high-end detail.

Big fan of these, but they need to cut all the fancy packaging out and sell them for $10 less. Just give me the cheapest cardboard box, I'm not going to keep the packaging.

For the price I haven't found anything that beats them personally. Bought them as a beater pair so I didn't wear out my more expensive IEM's and they have worked surprisingly well with heavy use. The audio quality is excellent and punches well above its price range. After nearly 2 years of constant use, aside from the cable losing signal and needing a replacement (Linsoul Tripowin Mirage cable seems to work great so far) and earbuds occasionally getting dulled in one ear or the other if perspiration gets into them after too much extended use (leaving them out to air solves this every time) I've had no issues.Initially I had a little bit of ear fatigue from the shape of the driver cover but after a few weeks I don't notice it in and have even fallen asleep with them in (though they are slightly uncomfortable to lay directly on if you are on your side, compared with something like the Sennheiser IE line which you can easily sleep with since there is no external protrusion (unfortunately I've had bad luck with the IE line though).
