I recently rejoined the IEM / headphone hobby and picked these three units up. I’m pretty happy with all three. The B2 Dusk is my fav, but I’m wildly impressed with how good the Hexa is for $80. It’s going into my bag as EDC, the B2 gets desk use and the Zero is coming out when I want a change.

Thanks for sharing. My most listened to is my B2 so it is always nice to hear someone compare them to other sets.

For sure. The B2 / Dusk is just really really good. I guess it has been a benchmark for so long for good reason. I love how natural instruments sound. The B2 Dusk reminds me of my HD650 quite a bit.

That said, the Hexa gets scary close to the same performance for way less money. I have a Westone UM3X that I got like 12 or so years ago for $399. That thing is trash completed to stuff coming out now in the $20 range like the 7hz Salnoates Zero and Wan'er. I have both of those and well and love them.

Nice, I got the Westone W30 like 8 or 9 years ago. The only thing I can say for it is it still works... But my Chu definitely sounds better. The Blessing 2 Dusk.... Not even close. I am trying to warranty mine now... Best of luck with your IEMs.

What tips do you use? They sort of look like the Dekoni foam type

The Hexa has the stock foam tips that come in the box on it at the moment. The Zero and the B2 Dusk have comply foam tips on them. I have some moondrop spring tips on the way to try out, but most of the time my ears prefer foam tips.

Have you tried different tips if you don’t like your Dusk? I found mine very underwhelming when I first got them but some well fitting tips transformed them. I’m sure you probably have, but just in case :)
