JH Audio JH-13 PRO appreciation thread - Page 196

rockboxx on my ipod nano 1g (a player which is almost 4 years old) is about 10 hours. original battery life was rated at 12 hours. i think the drop in performance is more due to the player's age than to rockboxx making a hard impact on the player.

It seems like insane amp overkill, but the JH-13s sound fantastic out of my DA10/Beta22 setup. There's no noticeable hiss, which was a very pleasant surprise.

That's a pretty ignorant statement. I have owned koss ksc75s, etymotic er61s, sennheiser hd-25-1 mk2s, and now a pair of um3xs. I have heard flaws and have been unsatisfied with all of these headphones. This is a frustrating situation for me because, the westone guys recommended that I should get the um3x, and wait until I'm older to get a pair of customs. so that's what I did. I got the um3x and am still not completely happy. The reason I've gone for iems over full sized phones is mainly because they get used MUCH more, making them a better value and also more practical. What then would you recomend that I do? Are you saying that I'm not old enough or experienced enough to appreciate high-end headphones? Are you telling me that I should be satisfied with what I have now? Do you think I can't hear or appreciate the differences between different phones? I find it rather immature of you to make uninformed, generalized posts like this one. The main concern for me with customs is obviously that I'd grow out of them within 1 to 2 years, or else I'd by them in a heart beat. So for now I'm torn between building my cd collection, or building a setup that will support my future jh 13 purchase.

The JH13 competes in this league?!?! Really? I mean, that's like the uber-high end of the headphone world, past and present (Omega II's?). Or would that be past and past?

Statements like this make me really...and I do mean REALLY skeptical. It's one of those, "If it sounds too good to be true..." moments where I ask, "What's the catch?"

And I find it utterly ignorant to judge a person on when he joins a forum. And if you read further into some people's statements...

Nevermind. Everyone's ears are at different levels. Some may never reach it.

Anyway JH13s seem to be catching on in Singapore... We had demos come in and JH13s were definitely stunning to everyone. Nothing had ever come close. And these were DEMO units, with the highs peak and the not so great seal and you don't exactly get the full sound.

I think that it's plain to see, that not only the people who go to shows, know and believe that the JH13s are quite plainly the best in terms of quality. (No talk about subjective things like "musicality")

Oh my.

Sorry I missed out who you were talking about. It was Music_4321, not ok_computer. Sorry for the mix up. As your post came right after ok_computer's. My bad. I would agree with you on that part about Music_4321.

The second part of my comments in my previous post was talking about him. His ears not hearing the difference mean that others don't. It takes a lot just to sit there reading such arrogance.

Well I added Silclear to it too. (TWEAK WARNING)

Haha so now I have such clarity and separation I never dreamed of before I had JH13 + new crystal cables + silclear.

Jaw dropping. The speed that these things take it to with my Predator is AMAZING. The rimshots really sound alive and kicking, the peaks are just amazing.

I compared JH13 demo to JH11 demo, could right away hear a dip in amount of details. It's quite obvious it's the JH13, with the help of the extra juice. =)

hockeyb213, it's reassuring knowing that you are sixteen. I'll probably end up with the 13 pros when I turn sixteen as well. Did you ask them about the possibility of remolds?

Awesome. These just moved back up to the top of the list of things to get.

Hockey Jerry said the same to me. I am gonna order mine in the next week or 2 just waiting to secure the rest of my fundage.
