As an audio engineer myself, I appreciate I could have a set of "sounds flat to my ear" for both working and enjoying music at the same time. Accruate bass response is what we need, even if it wasm't bassy at all it's still really spot-on, and that's what we would love in terms of judging a mix.

When I learned Nova uses 1DD + 4BA per side, one thing I remembered first was the original Moondrop Blessing. Similar housing form, similar config. Then I compared Nova to Blessing 1, and their graphs (in Crinacle's database) are eerily similar around midrange region. Of course, that alone sparked my interest, as Blessing 1 was the main cause of me starting an adventure on this damn hobby to begin with. I don't expect to get Blessing 1, but should Nova actually being a mini Blessing 1 with extra sub bass, then I might not buy another IEM for a long time.

so far chifi has been stuck into harman style tunning but i think this will backfire and they will all start to make bassy iems, then the market will be flooded with bassy stuff. Could you reccomend a good resolving 100-150$ 1DD+2 or 4 BA with a good impactful yet textured bass shelf, idealy 3+db over the highest upper mid lower treble peaks, something with EA1000 mids and highs but a good bass shelf on top of that, mainly for hip hop, trip hop, edm, techno ,house, dub

I already did that in my Quintet review so go check that out if you’re interested. Also compared it to the Sonus, FUDU, and Aria like IEMs like the Zero. Ea500 wise Nova is way cleaner and more resolving with better treble, but mid-bass slams harder on the EA500 with better texture/engagement for genres like hiphop 👍

Not to disagree from the too many harman tuned IEMS but there hasn't really been an iem in the under 100 dollar price range that does no wrong yet... a good allrounder so to speak. The Hexa is close but is a little bright. If this is just a less bright hexa then that would actually be enough and is not like anything else in the market regardless of what the graphs say. I've heard the other IEMs, they all have something wrong in the upper mids to low treble and that is the factor that makes me either enjoy music or not.

Nova isn’t under $100 it’s $150. Crin Red, Tanch One 3.5, and Sonus all are pretty safely tuned and “does no wrong” aside from technical performance.

@@jayyaudio ah yes 150 but to me crin red and sonus are a little hot at the 5khz area. EDIT: ahh it seems even the nova is hotter than the hexa there. I like the boost more near the 2khz area and slowly dropping down after that.
