if I remember correctly, isn't the X6 basically Vido (using the same driver and tuning) with upgraded cable?

Considering different colored Vidos sound different, it's hard to make this kind of statement. I have the navy blue and they don't sound alike at all.
In this post, @ClieOS confirms that Vido and X6 use the same driver.

Right, but tuning differs between Vido colors from what I've seen.
i have only known the old blue Vido, never tried the newer colors
I also have an X6 and a navy blue Vido and I admit that their tuning is different.
The following review by @cenizas has a detailed comparison of the X6 and Traceless and all colors of Vido.

Regarding the Vido, I think it is related to low QC. I remember someone had bought a few Vido of the same color, and when he opened up the shell, they all had different thickness of tuning foam.
I have owned the blue Vido and the NiceHCK Traceless (rebranded Vido) and both sound drastically different. NiceHCK also informed me that there should be no differences in sound whichever color you choose.

Yes, it is. 100% both similar in sound and what their status is.
Yes could very well be unit variation among the different colours of Vido. CHIFI is not a paragon for strict QC, but I see quite a lot of forum members here vouching that the different coloured Vidos do sound different.
FWIW, I only own the blue and white Vido and they are really different sounding, but I can't say if it is unit variation or an intended thing.
I think making such a statement ... will be a disappointment to new users who buy buds that will walk away from this thread forever. pears and apples.

I mean, it applies to the X6, I didnt say it was about buds as a whole. If they want something completely different from iems, the majority of buds are like that. But if they wanted iem sound with bud fit, there arent that many...I think making such a statement ... will be a disappointment to new users who buy buds that will walk away from this thread forever. pears and apples.

good news! so I knew about using double foams before to improve bass response a bit, but the issue with EBX21 shells is that they would fall out of my ears unless I used silicone hooks. this morning, I realized I could actually wear them over the ear like my IEMs and they actually stay put, AND provide a decent "seal" with the double foams! So my fitment issues are gone, the comfort is there, the rich low end is back, and I can EQ whatever else is missing. I also am using a custom FW ZX300 rather than the ZX507 to get a bit more warmth and it sounds really good. I think I saved myself a couple hundred bucks for now, but I might get a better cable now that I know I'll be wearing these over the ear
If you have the opportunity to do a measurement for them, you can send a @Sam_L file to do some magic.good news! so I knew about using double foams before to improve bass response a bit, but the issue with EBX21 shells is that they would fall out of my ears unless I used silicone hooks. this morning, I realized I could actually wear them over the ear like my IEMs and they actually stay put, AND provide a decent "seal" with the double foams!
