"Zero red or hexa"

"Your best options would probably be the Truthear Hexa (neutral with bass boost, very good technicalities)"
"Something like the Truthear Hola will blow them away for everything else"
"Something like the Truthear Hexa or Crinacle Zero: RED would be great."
"Truthear Hexa or one of the Simgot models. I can vouch for Hexa. Great iem."
"Truthear Nova. Mainly I’d look into companies like Truthear, Moondrop, 7hz, Simgot."
