JH Audio JH-13 PRO appreciation thread - Page 90

That's just a damn good point, so its worth being seen twice.

This is a bang for buck revolution happening.

He's already getting slammed

Well, dang. I'm very fond of my UE11s, but after hearing the universals at CanJam, suspected what you just wrote, which is why I ordered them. Now I'm really eager to hear them.

This was one reason I made the comment about the difference in the feeling of the cans on my head versus the IEMs in my ears. I'm not sure about this, but I think the very different physical sensation of having the HD800s on my head is itself part of a psychoacoustic impact with respect to soundstage. I am truly amazed at the breadth of the 13 soundstage, and I think the difference between on/around ear and in-ear is part of it. The surprising part is that it seems to be in the 13's favor. I also think the detail and the clarity factors contribute in the 13s' favor. Remember the old "Sennheiser veil"? Well, the HD800 got rid of that, right? Well, yes, until these came along.

I completely agree Bojamijams!

I don't have any difficulty with it. There is the ear canal getting used to it, a lack of clarity from the 13's and everything needed to settle in. I have worked with a number of manufactures over many years of fine audio equipment and there wasn't one, from Cary Audio, Quicksilver, Audio Note Uk and on, that did not believe in and hear the burn-in of components from the settling of caps to resistor changes to the effect on the dielectric of both a PCB to the wire and there are white papers on this esp. on caps, which the crossover of the 13's have. They are sometimes large changes and sometimes small but not one felt they weren't there so be it with the 13's.

I have finally received my second pair of JH13s today. (My real pair this time.)

Obviously the comfort is a lot better than the last time and the sound is simply out of this world.

For those that are still not sure if they should pull the trigger, trust me, these headphones are the real deal and everything that has been mentioned here is true. After my Nikon 70-200VR lens, they are probably the best purchase that I have made in my life.

Jerry also sent me a free t-shirt of JHAudio.

I would sincerely like to thank Jerry and his crew for the great product and the amazing customer service.

Other than Senn CX300's, My first set of IEM's was C-3 Customs and if I do not use them for a few days it takes at least 10 minutes for my brain to re-adjust and my ears to settle in. Every Single Time... So I would give Brain Burn vs Driver Burn 50/50 during the first 100 hrs or so but after that it's all in the head!!

Would owners mind commenting on the musicality of the JH13? Do you find yourself amazed at the detail, frequency balance, and technical aspects more than being involved in the music?

That's a really nice T-Shirt.

Um jamato, did you say "Shadow"? WTF?

I posted over on the portable amp board that I have the Shadow without the case and have been giving it a listen.

The 13's are so good I almost wish I hadn't got them. They take up too much time listening to music. I have never heard anything like them. I am listening to Reckoning by the Grateful Dead and it is just toooo good. What fantastic bass and fleshing out of the musical panorama.

Btw this is awesome.

I can actually tell quite easily and clearly that Esperanza Spalding is using a fully carved double bass on her album Junjo.

Accuracy of details.... =)

Isn't musical a very subjective thing? Anyway whenever people use the word "analytical" I never quite understood it because it sounds impossible to analyse the music properly from what people define as "analytical" rigs. Haha

Can you see through her clothes as she sings too?
