I personally don't believe those kinds of comments. One needs some time to fully appreciate a phones.

The JH13 is already on my next-to-buy list in the forthcoming 2 or 3 months, but not now.
Lil' Knight, I totally understand that reaction, but I am a few weeks in, and my JH13s continue to outperform my HD800s. I think I have gotten past FOTM, and am voting with my wallet. Rather than spend more on my HD800s, I am putting my money into stuff to make my JH13s more convenient to use with my desktop rig.
