Thats really depends on yourself really, i haven't look into performer yet so i can't say things about it, but S12 pro is a really good iems although it is V-shaped but the midrange is not THAT bad... but still kind of subdued in some way which why i still like Hexa and holding the Kato even s12 outperform them in techincality.

Looks big, if you haven’t seen my other comment actually i’m struggling with fitting on my Variations, and if you don’t notice it my other iems and the one i wanted to try all of them smaller than Variations soo… thanks for your info.

Almost gave up and sold it, but with raptgo hook silicone eartips its bearable, can’t use any other eartips. I tried like 20+ pairs of different eartips all of them have their own problems. Yeah the fit sucks

Not worth the price, i might sell it soon, the sound is okay but the headband and earpads not that good, i have to spend sometimes to adjust everytime i put it on while on sundara pretty much clicked with a bit of wiggle. Sundara still sound lot better, with a bit of bass boost.

Nope its Kato Matte, Hexa is not perfect but personally i think its really really GOOD value vs performance, along side s12 pro Kato hardly worth the price anymore but still has its place for some people.

After last year's regret Ier-m9 purchase instead of a 2nd hand deal U6T, and this year my worst decision is buying Dunu sa4, looking around 1k this year i don't feel as excited or attracted as when Variations release maybe the only one i wanted to try is ie600 but yeah nope, still rocking my Variations and bought several mid-fi's and sold them soon after.

Personally my most notable iem that i have tried and stick is Hexa and S12 pro, can't say enough how good both of them, and different enough to justify owning both of them.

This year, Moondrop's kind of disappointing, none of their release stick. So.. still love my Sundara and Variations.
