These have an excellent fit and isolation for me. Different ears. But I told in comments to another reviewer that black filters were too bloaty for me. On that we agree. Default gold filter is what generally works. Does not matter anymore, I received my Mese Alba.
I had this set for a while and to me ,this is one of the best bargains on the market and a definite sleeper, provided you can use two or three bands of EQ in front of it. Without EQ it's not great, but it readily shows its potential. First, it has very good bass with a ton of headroom and the treble is smooth and pleasant even if a tad veiled. Compared to generic BA treble, this one is a step up.
The fact that it packs 7 drivers in a small shell is great.
Unlike the Honest Audiophile I love how it fits and stays in my ears better than pretty much any other IEM I have. Only one single DD Blon that I have equals its comfort, but it does not sound nearly as good while doing it. I bought my NX7 MK4 on Amazon for well under $100.00 and they can be had for around $50.00 used. I compared mine side by side to Ziigaat Cincotres on the same material and at the same volume and it was damn close. On some material it sounded worse, but on other it was preferable. I would take it over the Hexa with zero hesitation. The Hexa is anemic and boring in comparison.
Id choose smoothness over details. Can't stand ear fatigue.
Ear fatigue is a bummer ????
Thanks Dave! Your work is greatly appreciated. ????????????
????????
Any chance you could give a recommendation on a very flat iem in the sub $100 range? I was looking at the Hexas but after seeint your video I'm starting to have my doubts ????
Yeah, I agree with the majority of what you said
