If you brain dead logic it you'll get more consistent and better connection with wired internet than wifi. It all comes down to the format decoding and tuning, most wireless are weak on the tuning dept. you'll have to reach higher prices to get same fidelity.

With wireless companies need to consider about extra features, Bluetooth, etc etc. But with wired they only need to focus in one department, and it's the main quality of the actual product

You're my favorite wireless earphone reviewer, you are the one i always looking up to when I am looking for new wireless earphones since then.

Hello there Kenneth! Good to see you reviewing iems!! Considering that the ones in this video here (in the $80 range) are already pretty good, do you still think it is worth an upgrade to the Moondrop Kato? It is possible to find the Kato for around 160,00 nowadays (on discount sales).

Hi ken what is your opinion on 7hz sonus?

Would these iems be great for gaming? and if so which one out of the 3?

Its as you said, bass is very less in hexa for me and I'm thinking to exchange it with kiwi ears melody, should I?

Just wondering have you use Fiio FH3 & FH5s and what do you think of them please ?!

I wonder how would er2se be compared here, as i am leaning to dunu now due to fuller sound and i hear much woder stage than the rest of the offer in this pricepoint, would love to have a bit of surround sound while playing some open world game and listen to ambient , and still have a good music listening experience, i heard er2se is a bit in your head, but surround software can sort that out for gaming? Cause i hear it's even more detailed for vocals and everything

7hz sonus is a banger competitor to these now. They blew me away. I lean more towards the sonus than my hexa

I would actually go with the OpenAudio, but to be honest I’m not confident at recommending it unless you can try it out at a local store first But for something outside of this video, I realky recommend the Truthear Zero: Red! I’ve planned for its review for so long but just couldn’t get it done in time due to life stuff happening, hopefully I can finish it soon!

man I love the Hexa soooo much but the large nozzle hurts my ear canal after 30 mins. I have about 50+hrs and I've realized that the more I use them, the quicker they hurt. I really thought I could break them in and get used to it but no. My friend let me try out her Moondrop Kato and those nozzles are more comfortable, but they sound too enchanced and less detailed. I really wish that Hexa Mini would exist.

oooh boi another wired IEM video I personally own a Hexa and tried both the Titan S and the Aria (in both flavors). The Hexa is FAR AND AWAY the best IEM at this price point for me. It's quite literally a budget Moondrop Blessing 2 with even better, less fatiguing midrange signature (to my ears) The Aria Snow is a much more pleasing listen to me than the OG Aria because it's a more balanced tuning; The OG Aria just sounded too bassy. The Titan S does absolutely nothing for me; I'm probably just fatigued by the myriad of IEMs running very similar signatures and around the same price bracket i.e. both Aria, Titan S, both Kima, Heart Mirror Pro, EA500, Tripowin Olina SE, etc. Can't wait for your Blessing 3 video, man. I personally liked it for the music I primarily listen to i.e. J-Pop, but overall, I might still give the edge to the old Blessing 2 because while the Blessing 3 has some insanely great midrange, the bass tuning makes the overall sound feel really thin with not a lot of body; That's probably due to how the bass is tuned which coincidentally more resembles the Blessing 2 DUSK than the Original. Great video as always. Cheers :)

As someone who owns a Hexa and has tried the Zero Red back in Canjam SG, I would personally still get the Hexa because of the details from being a hybrid vs 2DD. That being said, the Zero Red is absolutely no slouch either. I'm also not a fan of the bass tuck that the Zero Red has even though it doesn't sound as prominent as the OG Zero due to the more restrained bass tuning. The deciding factor, aside from the sound signature, is the comfort. The Zero Red has an absurdly large nozzle which will definitely be a hit or miss for a lot of people, while the Hexa is much more manageable. Pick your poison 😁

Hi Kenneth! There are many cheaper alternatives to the Aria that cost less and/or sound better. Tinhifi C2, Tripowin Piccolo, Simgot Ean200 EA500, at their respective price ($25-80) and many others I won't mention because the list would be too long. Any of these will sound great and have great build quality. My fav at the moment is the CVJ Mei, a great hybrid for 60usd. But even the Salnotes Zero at $20 are better value for money than Aria in my opinion.
