Reply to comment by herzonia in Truthear Hexa Review (IEM) by nxnje

Hello friend, I know the roadie wrap as well and I am a big fan of it too :D

In the review I just wanted to specify that in the same price tag there are IEMs with better cables in general, not that this one is bad. It's just that I was expecting to find something "more" in this regard.

Its all fun and games until you want to plug them into a dac or amp or other audio device and there is no Type C output.

How do you find the apple dongle? I tried one and the volume was incredibly low so I just bought a cheaper one off Amazon and it works much better.

It's cool that they have an option for a USB-C termination w/ a built-in DAC. It's kind of expensive though as you can get a separate dongle which you can use with your other headphones/IEMs.

They have one with the ESS9280C DAC and that one sends the cost to $154 with a 2 pin connector system... It's very custom how you can choose the type of connection, stereo Connection andnmic input if you want one... Lol they should make enough profit 🤣

The pressure from the noise cancelling in my Sony WH-1000XM3's can sometimes aggravate a headache.

I have found that, depending on what I am doing, I will use either the ANC headphones or IEMs with foam tips for passive, or Emu-Teaks, which are Semi-Open and very comfortable for me.

I recently picked up some Air Pods Pro 2s and haven't had the same issue with their ANC implementation as I did with the Sony's.
