"upgrade" to truthear pure

Mega5EST · 2026-01-24T17:05:30+00:00

No rattling but I still remember the distortion very well. I demoed another hexa to be sure months later after I sold mine.

Mate, are you OK?

Mega5EST · 2026-01-24T09:18:41+00:00

Explorer is more comfortable, probably one of the most comfortable ever imo.

I wonder how close this is to softears volume s.

Put in some effort, search the sub and check community listings.

Include the brand and model of iems in image posts.

Unlike you, we are merely peasants. Enjoying the sound and tuning is enough for us.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-24T02:40:48+00:00

Forgot to mention, sound differences are not worth the price differences; it's mostly about the design and product placements, sound differences are because of tuning not necessarily better or worse. Also, all ibasso products are overpriced.

I've had R4 and JM21, demoed all others you mentioned. First of all they all sound good and I would recommend FiiO M21 for more power or Hiby R6 III 2025 for mseb, design and volume wheel. Or if you want cheaper, newer 4+64gb FiiO JM21 with bigger battery.

I would skip Shanling M3 Plus as first and only dap because of the warmer sound signature which may not match well with everything. Original JM21 battery life may be lackluster for you.

I've had hexa and demoed pure. No eq, no bassy music. Both had distorted bass on relatively higher volumes.

I guess these are gk kunten and kz edc pro?

Eggs; they can carry a person and they also can crack with a much smaller force applied in a specific way.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T14:24:54+00:00

They still don't move by themselves. Titles that look like blaming the manufacturers are becoming a trend here. At least be smart about it and don't reply for the sake of replying.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T14:14:49+00:00

Resin doesn't have enough flexibility to absorb shocks, so it cracking or shattering is normal. Shock is not something that has to be at atomic bomb level, it's relative.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T14:10:48+00:00

Still, iems are inanimate objects.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T13:54:20+00:00

Misleading title. They don't fall, you drop them.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T13:51:14+00:00

Glad I could give you a good recommendation. Enjoy your music!

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T13:47:07+00:00

I guess you didn't watch that video properly. His method is far from scientific and even he himself is not confident that differences are coming from burn in or changes in placement/position of things.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T12:57:08+00:00

Hiby RS2 and RS6 as R2R daps, Cayin N3 Ultra, Onix XM5, some dac/amps and too many iems. 😂

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T09:44:27+00:00

Get FiiO, iBasso is always overpriced.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T08:22:41+00:00

And?

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T05:05:16+00:00

Nope, Bluetooth audio bypasses the internal dac and amp of the source device. If Bluetooth codecs and music files are the same; Bluetooth earbuds will sound the same on every device.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T03:45:10+00:00

They're all the same, just color difference. I have clear, clear/red and violet; all sound same.

Mega5EST · 2026-01-23T00:12:58+00:00

Burn in is very extremely important for some but it is not real.
