as both original Aria and Hexa owner, I’d say I prefer Hexa more than the Aria (disclaimer, I prefer IEF Neutral 2023 target). the treble is more detailed on the Hexa, it’s less warm than Aria but the bass has more punch; I guess being a hybrid helps on that regard. also, the warmth can still be brought back with a bit of EQ
I’m also on a need of another similarly priced IEM to accompany Hexa as my daily driver, but still hasn’t decided on anything, unless the Aria 2 could change my mind
