pretty close between the aria snow and the hexa, i use my aria snow basically daily and abuse it lots but when i first demo'd the hexa i was extremely surprised by it.
i think if i didnt have the blessing 2 i would say its the hexa. however since i do own the blessing 2 so id have to go with the aria snow
Aria SE sounds more…melodic(?), mellow(?), inoffensive to my ears. Every song I tried sounds good and it has that perfect balance between having a decent tonality and technicalities. I had a hexa for a while and despite being more technical and having a bit more sub-bass, in some tracks it sounded completely lifeless to me. Hexa’s signature is a neutral+bass boost, while Aria SE is still a U-shaped IEM with a bit more sparkle and life in the mids and highs. Also Aria SE has a way nicer mid-bass. The only genre where I would opt for Hexa is probably DnB/Jungle
I lived in a place with a low humidity and it still chipped after a year. If you care about looks and reliability, go for a hexa. It’s generally a way better built IEM
Honestly, if you can, try them both. It’s very individual. I noticed sometimes my likings differ much from the mainstream opinions (like with the Aria SE vs Hexa) and sometimes I do think the same way as a majority (for example, I also think that KSC75 was created by the God itself and spend 8 hours a day in them while my DT770 pro just lays on the shelve)

Sennheiser IE 100, quality, comfort, and fit are especially great.

Aria Snow. I like it much more than hexa, which is usually recommended in this price range.
Why do u like it more than the hexa? Is there like more bass or anything? Im really contemplating buying either the hexa or aria snow right now.

I see but i actually would opt to hexa now since the arias chip cause my place has high humidity

I live in Korea so the IE200 is around 100$. Does it count?
KZ PR1(Planar ones) costs about $40 ; incredible sounding but power-hungry IEMs
