TRUTHEAR Hexa 1DD+3BA Hybird in-Ear Headphone Gaming Earbud HiFi IEM Earphone with 0.78mm 2pin Cable

Best budget-to-mid IEMs for competitive gaming — incredible value for Valorant To preface: I am not an audiophile — I just needed a reliable pair of IEMs for competitive gaming, specifically Valorant. After testing 5 of the top-rated IEMs across multiple budget ranges, these absolutely blew everything else out of the water. Sound Quality & Performance: I genuinely cannot tell the difference in soundstage, clarity, or spatial awareness between the Truthear Hexa and my Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros. The directional audio is incredibly accurate, which is crucial for a game like Valorant where every footstep and reload matters. These also avoid the excessive bass that can muddy details — the balance is tuned perfectly for gaming. Comfort & Fit: This was the biggest surprise for me. I have very small ear canals and typically can't wear in-ear headphones at all — they either fall out or hurt within minutes. The Hexa includes multiple tip options, including memory foam ear tips, and they’ve been a game-changer. I wore them for 5+ hour sessions with zero discomfort or slippage. The foam tips also offer passive noise cancellation, which gave me the isolation I needed without the heat buildup I get from over-ear headsets like the DT 990s. Design: The only thing I’d change is the aesthetic — black is fine, but I wish these came in other colors or materials. That said, the build quality is solid and sleek, and it’s a minor gripe for an otherwise flawless experience. Final Verdict: If you're looking for high-performance IEMs for FPS gaming without breaking the bank, the Truthear Hexa are the best you’ll find. They punch way above their price point and are now my daily go-to for Valorant. Comfortable, detailed, and competitive-grade — a clear 5-star product. ✅ This review is based on real-world, side-by-side testing to help other competitive gamers make an informed choice.

The Truthear Hexa are a really good, well-balanced, and versatile pair of IEMs with a relatively neutral tuning. Personally, I would recommend the cheaper Tangzu Wan’er before the Hexa as an ideal first pair of IEMs. But if you want a versatile pair of IEMs that is comfortable to wear, is superbly tuned for any genre of music, gaming, or watching videos, and delivers outstanding performance for the price, I think the Hexa deserves a place in your collection. Also, I really appreciate the generous selection of ear tips included with the Hexa. A note regarding ear tips: For this pair, I would strongly recommend the Spinfit Omni ear tips for a significant upgrade in fidelity. Just make sure you find ear tips that fit well and create a strong seal within your ear canal, and you should notice a massive improvement in the detail and bass response. The Spinfit W1 are also great ear tips that largely provide the same benefits as the Omni, but I found them to cause too much protrusion from the ear canal when placed over the Hexa’s nozzle. For my ears, the Omni size L fit perfectly, but I couldn’t get the size M to fit over the Hexa’s nozzle. To summarize, the Spinfit Omni and W1 are both great, but the fit is going to depend on the nozzle size of your IEMs. I like the Omni (size L) for my Hexa and the W1 for my Tangzu Wan’er. I think a small collection of quality ear tips is worth the investment if you enjoy collecting and experimenting with IEMs and want to maximize performance from each.

These are good! While I don’t have extensive experience with IEMs, I’ve spent many years as a recording musician and know what a well-balanced monitor should sound like — and the Truthear Hexa delivers. The Hexa has a very musical and cohesive tuning with a pleasing blend of lows, mids, and highs. The bass is controlled and present, never bloated or overwhelming. There's a tasteful sub-bass lift that adds depth without muddying the mix. What really stands out to me is the midrange. Compared to my Moondrop CHU II, which has more of a scooped character, the Hexa offers more natural, full-sounding mids that bring out the richness in rock and acoustic tracks beautifully. The treble is detailed and clear — acoustic guitars, for instance, sound stunning. That said, on certain tracks, especially those with bright hi-hats, the highs can come across a touch hot, though never harsh. If you're after a fun, bass-heavy IEM for genres like reggae or funk, the Hexa might not fully deliver out of the box. That said, a slight EQ bump — I add just +1dB at 60Hz — brings out enough low-end punch to make them work well. Their more neutral, reference-style tuning prioritizes accuracy over impact. But for listeners who value balance and detail, especially in vocal-driven rock or acoustic music, the Hexa truly shines. They can rock! The Hexa fits my ear well, they are light weight and very comfortable and they are well made. I hope this helps.

flat, neutral and completely clean with a delightful mid range including a nice bit of mid bass. safe option for many genres, excellent build and fit, lightweight and pocketable. toss them around and they’ll survive. wire is a bit crummy but easily replaced. nothing to really criticize. love my pair. not an exciting tuning but a pleasant and mature one. also the staging and imaging make it great for gaming if you’re hesitant on spending double on the EM6L or the Supermix 4s. chefs kiss.

The title pretty much says what I think of these iems. So I was looking for a set of iems for portable use or times when I don't want to wear a big set of over ears (beyerdynamic dt-880 or hifiman sundara closed back) for desktop use. Looked at a bunch of iems on amazon, read the reviews, and watched some reviews on youtube. The first set I tried was the kz zs10 pro, which was a mistake on my part. Way to much bass and recessed mids, good for bassheads, but not my taste. Needless to say, I returned them. Second set I bought was the kz as16 pro as I wanted to try a all balanced armature set. To me they have a balanced, but not quite neutral sound with a slight V shape. Third set are these truthear hexa. Out of the three, I like these the most. They have a neutral sound which I like, but to me they don't sound boring. The bass has a nice slam in the sub bass region when needed, but not basshead level bass. Female vocals sound great. Highs are nice, but not extended to where its piercing. I almost bought the kiwi ears orchestra lite over these, but their quite a bit more. $250 vs. $68. For $68 I'm happy with the way these sound, the assortment of included ear tips, and the carrying pouch. As far as driving these iems, I haven't tried them on any portable devices yet so no comment on that. Been using them on my desktop setup; foobar 2000 (in exclusive mode) ---> schiit audio modi 3+ dac ----> schiit audio asgard 2 amp. If I had to pick something I don't like, its the cable. Its kinda meh and feels sorta cheap and I don't like the 90 degree plug. A nicer cable on amazon is $20 or so. I did buy a longer 2 meter cable (kbear st16 plus) to use with my desktop setup.

The sound quality of these IEMs is amazing for the price, and I'm happy with the comfort, fit, and finish for the price. Had I written this review a month ago, it surely would have been 5 stars. However, after about a year of regular use, the right side suddenly became much quieter than the left. I've tried switching out the cables and listening from different sources, but despite the fact that they were used at a low volume over their life, the right earbud is definitely dead. I think at this price point you should be able to expect a couple years of use at least, so I'm definitely disappointed they died this quickly.

These iems were great up until about 2 weeks ago and now they sound muffled... tried on both my phone and goxlr mini and they both sound muffled. Loved them when they worked but to only last barely a year for $90 I'm out

These are a great bang for the buck IEMs. The sound is great and neutral-ish which is my preferred tuning. The build quality is also really good with a metal shell that fits my ears quite nicely.
