And of course, the musicality. I haven't found a piece of music overall that does not sound better with the 13s.
Wow! Now I'm really getting excited about having these, as the HD800 are the all around best headphones I've yet heard.

Has anyone heard from Brittany about what the current turn around time is for new orders? I got my impressions to them the last week of June. And now I'm wondering just how long I should expect to wait?

Sheesh, I've seen people reading newspapers and books while driving. And don't forget about the visual distractions of GPS and in-dash displays, or audio units that go so loud they might as well be headphones. Slip inside a new Jag or Aston-Martin; the sound system is excellent, and the sound insulation so good, the outside world cannot get in. And every one of those things piles on the distraction.
yes you are right. i will admit to being a campaigner against cars however and am very strict, but all of what you said (being a driver, i assume), is level, fair and self reflective. but iems are more distracting than stereo system, mobile phones and a few other distractions. anyway be safe.

What if suddenly a JH15PRO popped up beside you, that's molded to your ears.

is the ear mold hard plastic or soft rubber/siliconish material?

You and I are not in disagreement. I agree that they have the ability to distract more than most.

Quite firm. Not soft.

Dark purple translucent. =)

But in different settings it can appear from blue to dark purple. =) It's amazing really. Different colours on an IEM. =)

I would probably pass out in ecstasy, considering the inherent implication that my wallet was not pillaged in the process. And even if that were not the case, I'd probably still swoon.

Firm but comfortable though, right? Im assuming that the quality, and accuracy of the ear mold you send to JH makes all the difference. Has anyone had a bad mold the first time, or is it usually something that is accurate the first time around? If you have a bad seal when you receive your IEMs, does anyone know if JH will work with you on getting a proper fit?

MaoDi, when do your 10x3pro come?

Extremely comfortable. This is my second set of custom IEMs. Each was done by different audio technicians and different makers. Both fit superbly. I find them very pleasant to wear. I have had my 13s and LiveWires on for more than 6 hours at a time with no problem.

I believe someone here has already worked with Jerry once on a set of better fits. Scroll up through the thread.

I have sent my impressions in, and they should arrive next week or the week after. Not sure how fast turn around time is. the Es3X should arrive before the 10X3Pro as shipping to them is faster and they don't seem to be as bunched up in schedule as JH Audio. Ultimate Ears part, they still haven't confirmed what model, but the impressions for those arrive next wednesday to them (shipping to UE in California is cheaper and twice as fast to ship).

Cool, thanks for the input bro. You answered all of my major end questions. Now I just need to get over the moral dilemma of spending over a grand on just a pair of IEMs...

Has anyone got these at a discounted price? If so, how..?
