Build Quality

• Lightweight.
• Matte faceplate, plasticky body

Fit

• Nozzle is a little on the wider side, may not be for everyone. However, it fits really well for me.

Tonality

• Neutral with some sub-bass boost.
• Leaning towards analytical instead of fun.
• Some may say it is too boring, but personally I find it engaging enough without being too dull.

Bass

• Good amount of sub bass, really satisfying rumble.
• Slightly lacking in mid bass slam
• Speed is decently fast.
• Well controlled and no sign of bleeding into the midrange.
• Has good depth and impact but fairly average in texture and resolution. 
• However, bass quantity is not much.

Midrange

• Clean midrange with a hint of warmth.
• Instruments sound a little light and thin but still considered natural most of the time.
• Overall note weight and density is on the thin side, especially in the upper midrange. 
• Not the most natural sound midrange, timbre is slightly off.  
• Vocals are generally relaxed but engaging enough to feel immersive, but lacking in body and weight.

Treble

• Treble is bright and sparkly.
• A little bit too peaky to me, slightly fatiguing.
• Details in trebles are very good.
• Treble is well extended with a airy and open feeling.

Technicalities

Detail Retrieval

• Resolution is one of the best for this price range, capturing a lot of details.

Soundstage

• Soundstage is good, with decent width and height. Furthermore, it feels fairly open due to the airiness from the treble extension. 

Imaging

• Imaging and accuracy is spot on as position of instruments and vocals can be pinpointed fairly easily.
• Gaming:
• Apex Legends: Sound of footsteps and gunfire can be easily pinpointed.

Separation

• Separation and layering is very good.
• Runs most of my super busy tracks without feeling congested at all

Conclusion

• I would call it a more "fun" mini Blessing 2 in terms of tonality, with smoother trebles, more bass, and a more affordable price tag.
• However, Blessing 2 still has much better technicalities, with minor differences in tonality, so it really comes up to personal preference and budget.
• Really well tuned with outstanding technicalities, considering the price.
• Overall, the Truthear Hexa is an excellent set if you prefer a neutral tonality.
• However, please do try the Hexa out first before making a decision to purchase, as the tuning is a little unique and may not be for everyone.
