Our Verdict

TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO

TRUTHEAR HEXA

The TRUTHEAR HEXA are better than the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO, though it depends on your needs. The HEXA have a more balanced frequency response and do a better job blocking out sounds like A/C hum. That said, neither pair have ANC; they both do a poor job isolating you from bassier noise like engine rumble. On the other hand, the ZERO put out a lot more bass than the HEXA. It can get a little boomy, but if you like your EDM to have extra oomph, the ZERO are worth considering, especially as they're also cheaper than the HEXA.
