That’s the beauty of preference. I do like the HD6XX with the 789 but I add 3db of bass boost to it most of the time.

Thanks for the link. I’ve saved it to read later.

I would agree, but did volume match with in a pretty close margin. It's not louder (or really any better as I do prefer the 789 and ADI-2 more), it just has more bass and warmth. I may have to get a proper A/B switch and have the wife help me with a blind test.

It’s both! It looks great in person

The Hexa has the stock foam tips that come in the box on it at the moment. The Zero and the B2 Dusk have comply foam tips on them. I have some moondrop spring tips on the way to try out, but most of the time my ears prefer foam tips.

For sure. The B2 / Dusk is just really really good. I guess it has been a benchmark for so long for good reason. I love how natural instruments sound. The B2 Dusk reminds me of my HD650 quite a bit.

That said, the Hexa gets scary close to the same performance for way less money. I have a Westone UM3X that I got like 12 or so years ago for $399. That thing is trash completed to stuff coming out now in the $20 range like the 7hz Salnoates Zero and Wan'er. I have both of those and well and love them.

I recently rejoined the IEM / headphone hobby and picked these three units up. I’m pretty happy with all three. The B2 Dusk is my fav, but I’m wildly impressed with how good the Hexa is for $80. It’s going into my bag as EDC, the B2 gets desk use and the Zero is coming out when I want a change.

I second this. I just got the Blessing 2 Dusk in last week and it’s the first IEM that I can clearly hear each individual guitar part. Blessing 2 / dusk are pretty amazing.
