^I posted about that piercing 8Khz peak in the previous page. If you search this page another guy had the same problem.
HEX is one of the more piercing and irritating headphones for me out there. Not even THX00, Ether Flow has this physically painful 8k peak that makes the HEX unusable after a couple hours.
I have since moved onto the LCD 3.
I did try the HEX with Mojo initially and it doesn't help
Mate, I find the HEX 2 to be the least "8khz"-y can I have heard. HD600's? certainly yes. HD800's? ooh yes. Ether Flows are neutral, but no spikes in there, not with Dan the speaker man around. I do not like a "hot", top end at all, and have consider most headphones to be "bad" for this reason. I generally hang out elsewhere on the forum, and to each their own... To me, a good headphone can be listened to at all levels, from super soft to almost too loud with a nice buttery presentation. This is why I like the hex 2. IMO, Zack's (ZMF) cans also have the butter. the new aeons have some too (but I want more time with those before I talk)...
As I have asserted elsewhere on the thread, the depth and breadth inside the hex cups is ridiculously lush, mellow, and extended. Cheers!
