At first I couldn’t handle the treble as well, but then after I changed to the stock medium black core white tips, and then push them deep into my ears, like as deep as it goes, soundstage suddenly open up, treble is less harsh and bass is fuller as well. Did you try that?

Wondering how this one compare to S12, I love S12. It I also love German engineering 😂

I was deciding between Hexa and S12 but ended grabbing S12 cuz they have next day Amazon shipping while the Hexa took 7-10 days. Ended up liking the S12 but would love to try Hexa one day

I just need to leave a haha here 🤣

Ahh the German engineering 😜

I actually played with different tips and found out they all not seal in my ears probably. So I chose a stock medium black core white tips (not sure what it’s called) and pushed it real deep inside my ears (almost to ER2XR level but way more comfy) and holy crap what a world of difference. I think this is how the manufacture intended it to be. I am happy now, thanks for your help

Thought I need to share this. So I tried to play with different tips, none of them really gave me a complete seal. Foam usually gives best result for me on ER2 or my TWS Melomania 1+. However the stock foam on S12 even at its largest size still doesn’t seem to give me a complete seal. So I tried the stock medium white tip with black core, since it still doesn’t give me complete seal, I tried to push it really in, like deep inside my ear canals (almost similar deep like the ER2 but much more comfy) and wow a world of difference, sound stage open up more like holographic, treble tame down a bit since the bass is more present and overall a much warmer sound just to my liking. I guess I need to look for another tips or just keep using the stock and push them deep inside. If you haven’t try this, please try and let me know if that works for you as well. Now I see all the rave and hype about this IEM lol

I really don’t mind paying extra however I listen music mostly on the go and I would love to minimize everything possible. Any other IEM would you recommend in the same price range? Maybe something with a warm-neutral signature? Thank you!

Yea streaming in highest quality possible with no normalization. No auto adjust quality

I’m not sure if I describe it correctly, bright to me mean sharp, for example the bass hits in a high frequency and produces a very sharp sound, it’s fatiguing after a bit

Yea I tried the same pink noise that you recommended and adjust it to my liking. Interestingly, the music sounds better if the pink noise is easy on my ears. However, once I turned down high frequency, I immediately recognized the loss in soundstage. Is it because Spotify EQ doesn’t work the same way with a system EQ or a proper app EQ? Thank you

Thank you I will try that, not sure if I get exactly what you meant though

Yes it is exactly the one you see on Google. Thank you , I will have a look at the thread you said

Wow never heard this way of adjusting EQ, I’ll try it now, thanks for recommendation. Btw, the EQ only works within Spotify cuz it’s the only streaming that I have beside Apple Music however I cannot adjust EQ on Apple Music
