I just got the truthear HEXA as my first IEM. I was a bit underwhelmed by the sound (not immersive). Given they are pretty highly reviewed, I suspected that the fit might be the reason why. Tried all sizes of included tips but they all kinda slipped out after a few minutes. So I bought the Dunu SS tips and that seemed to improve things but not perfect. Now I’m thinking of trying the SpinFit W1 to see if those are even better.
However, now I’m starting to think maybe this is a result of the IEM itself. I was considering the Truthear zero (blue or red). But I’m concerned that I might run into the same fit issue because they are the same brand (Truthear). Can anyone comment on this?
Has anyone experienced a similar story and found success with a different IEM? Maybe IEMs are just not for me? IDK.
Note: I like listening to big orchestral/OST. Also, I have been listening exclusively to the Harmonicdyne Zeus for the last year, maybe I need to manage my expectations…
Thanks in advance!
Hexa has one of the larger nozzle sizes. The zero is slightly smaller albeit large still. If all the eartips simply slip out it should mean that the eartip or maybe the nozzle is far too large for you or you’re not setting the iem deep enough. You might have more success with something else since your ears just aren’t accommodating. I had similar issues with my left side of my ear with every iem since it’s more narrower and was much trickier to find eartips that fit. Just know that you may need to rock different size eartips for your head.
