How would you guys rate the HEM 6 against the ATH-IM03 and the Orivety Primacy?
 
I am currently using Final Audio Heaven V which I love. I wanted to uprade to ATH-IM03 but they have horrible fit for me
and after trying I was about to get the Orivety Primacy. However, now I stumbled over the HEM-series...

I prefer Primacy over HEM6, finding HEM6 a bit but up to for my tastes. Gets a bit sibilant. Primacy is smoother up top.

Thanks for your opinion!

Thanks for your opinion!

Sure. I really like HEM2 & HEM8 but am lukewarm on HEM4 & HEM6 due to brightness.

 

[BartSimpson1976]

I have nothing against bright signature, but if connected to an already bright source (am using Sony DAP) it might be a bit too much. But I thought the HEM6 is generally described as quite dark?

Not bright overall - they just hit my sensitive spot for sibilance. More hot than bright for me, I guess. Could've worded that better...

ok, thanks for clarification. I might go and try them anyhow for a personal impression. Unfortunately no shop has the Primacy AND the Nuforce for direct A/B

Sure, no problem. 64EARS U12 are similar for me. Overall dark sound but have a treble peak that makes them really sibilant to my ears.

Primacy would be best compared to HEM2 IMHO.

BTW, I'm still really impressed with HEM2's tuning. Ticks a lot of the right boxes for me, which always surprises me since I don't usually go for dual BA IEM. Although CFA Nova are also really nice dual BA IEM, albeit more pricey ones...

HEM2 is SingleBA isn't it? The numbering based on numner of drivers in total for both sides, so HEM2 Single BA, HEM4 dual BA, HEM6 tripleBA, HEM8 quad BA?

Oh yeah, derp

Much fuller sound than I'm used to with single BA.

Once I find time to visit the only shop here which has HEM demo units I will bring my Final Audio Heaven V.
I consider FAD as the grandmasters of SingleBA IEMs, so it would be interesting to see how the HEM2 compares to the FAD.

Happy single BA dueling
