Here's a graph of the [IE100 Pro and Blessing 3 from Earphones Archive (5128 Measurement)](https://earphonesarchive.squig.link/?share=JM-1_(5128)_Target,Sennheiser_IE100_Pro,Moondrop_Blessing3). IE100 Pro looks to have pretty recessed upper mids and elevated bass/treble relative to the mid range, so being v-shaped tracks. If you hear the IE100 Pro has less bass than the Blessing 3, there may be something wrong with your setup or seal.
Actually the first time I've heard Hexa described as muddy. Usually people describe them as lean, neutral, or even bright. Do you mean the bass quality is not that good or something?
Sorry you had a bad experience, but one anecdotal experience does not make a reputation. By your logic, I've had my Blessing 3's for 6 months with zero issues, so build quality is stellar.
Which Xenns? The Top Pro? The Tea Pro?
Understand, I am being very vague here, and heavily biased on personal preference.
Personally, for gaming...
Top Pro > Astral = Tea Pro > Dog Shit > Blessing 3
For Music...
Tea Pro > Astral > Top Pro > Blessing 3
I am really not a fan of the Blessing 3 because it is way too lean on bass performance. And has a Mid over Bass profile.
The Astral is the most universal IEM, with the Tea Pro being a little warmer and more nuanced, and the Top Pro being a little brighter and more articulate, to a fault.
For gaming and Music the Astral or Tea Pro are the safest choices, IMHO.
