Most common complaints

In owners' own words

“Bottom line: I owned two different Truthear Models, for a total of four days of real usage. And because of the design, I have zero functional pairs of Truthear models to show for it.”
— @trueneutral3092 on YouTube
“That's underwhelming considering the hype.”
— @diazzsama on YouTube
“I hate the screw. Why are more people not talking about the screw.”
— @phixi0n on YouTube
“Truthear Hexa. BOOOORING. Love how subjective all this is but to my ears it was so dull.”
— Daysleepers on Reddit
“To Neutral, very meh.”
— @telephonic on YouTube
“Truthear hexa, it's just too congested, spiky treble and depthless separation”
— PLY_j1e on Reddit
“Truthear hexa.  Looks cheap, feels cheap,  sounds cheap.”
— _OVERHATE_ on Reddit
“Just returned mine. Absolute no mid bass. No bass at all really.”
— @blinksalot92 on YouTube
“Compared directly with my TRN V90s, the trns won... and they're cheaper”
— @jorisbonson386 on YouTube
“They sounded lifeless and cold to my ears.”
— AntEaterApocalypse on Reddit
“Truthear Hexa- I understand why people like them, but everything about them is boring, even the look.”
— mck_motion on Reddit
“I don't recommend truthear hexa. From personal experience it's too cold and clear for me. I personally like more warm and more bass like the truthear zero reds.”
— Topiainen_ on Reddit

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

“I’ve only listened to them a little bit so far, but don’t think they’re going to be a favorite for me unless I really change my thinking after listening to them more.”
— BellGeek on Reddit
“With the Hexa I use the 10 ohm resistor sold with the Crinnacle Red. I don't measure it, but it just seems to flesh out the bottom octave.”
— Capital-Werewolf-167 on Reddit
“I have the Hexa and I’m debating whether the upgrade to Pilgrims will be worth the money.”
— GrouchyMud3548 on Reddit
“And yes, Hexa is less bulky. Hexa has a flat outer face and rounded off corners in the ear facing side”
— IAtaman on Audio Science Review
“You can use an impedance adapter for a little bass boost. Does a lot of good things for the Hexa imo.”
— Pschulniknof on Reddit
“Hexas just have relatively quiet bass which may or may not be preferable for certain genres.”
— failedluddite on Reddit
“The planar and PZT are different driver types from the BA used in Hexa for the highs, so their sound profile differs by a lot”
— ChangoFrett on Reddit
“I just got mine too, coming from Moondrop Arias that had the dreaded moisture issues. They're taking me some getting used to as well, so I dialed in a bass shelf on the EQ”
— teringsaus on Reddit
