Big in size, not as comfortable and I am 6 feet 2 inches and have been told I have big ears. Compute?

Yes I see; I thought you might have meant bulky to carry around, which didn't seem like a huge concern. 
 
Maybe the impressions weren't done so well, or the end product wasn't crafted well. It's frequently claimed that customs can be very comfortable.

 They did fit good and yes I met some guys who had to have their impressions redone. But what I mean is that the JH are bigger then most earphones and if they sounded as I wanted them to sound I would not mention the size or how much I spent on them. I feel the JH 13, 16 do have bass but they are not meant to be bassy earphones.

I would imagine all customs would be, more or less, equally large. 

 

[bmiamihk]

most but not all are the same size. Westones customs fits well and are flatter with a softer material to form in the ear. Also there is a English company that makes custom earphones made of soft silicon and are flat in the ear.

The English company is ACS. I've tried their flagship custom (demo unit)...really didn't like the sound at all.
I really don't know how flat customs should or can be, and how much that truly matters for day-to-day use, but all the customs I've seen in person look more or less equally large. For any given pair of ears, I would imagine the size of customs from every company would be quite similar, since the mould has to occupy the same space in order to sit well and seal well.

I enjoy you very good grammar and yes the human ear is similar in shape but there is also a depth to the earphone shells. Some do protrude more then the other. Futuresonics universal and Westone 3 are not flat but yeah they are not customs. I will be receiving a new customs soon which from what a customer had on was not as protruding as the JH.

Does anyone here have the Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo, The Continental V2 and Jh13 Pro and wish to comment how it all sounds together either with an iphone or ipad/ipod?

Ask Zarim? Since he recommended them to you.

Bulky? In-ears?
 

He may mean the shell itself is 2-3 times larger than a universal housing since customs engulf your entire ear cavity, not just the canal.  So they are certainly bulky in that nature. 
 
Personally I thought JH16 had quite a bit more bass than JH13.  A generally much fuller sound.  Very far from neutral...more fun than anything else.

I agree with you that the JH16 has a bit more bass when compared to the JH13. Comparing them to even the Weston 3 they have much less bass impact and depth.

The JH16 has way too much bass for me. The JH13 is just right

Yup, agreed! Have been enjoying a pair (JH13's) with various cables and amps. Never fail to satisfy, even after a couple of years of use....How many phones have the average Head-fiers owned, that after a few short months still offer satisfaction? Not that many I'd wager. They scale so well with good gear and are fairly, evenly neutral...probably the secret of their longevity (for me).

for good bass, you need
 
1) a good fit
 
2) a good dac
 
3) a good amp
 
with those, you can easily have too much bass.

Great gear mated to the Harvey's won't go with out rewards (IMO).

Ok, Zarim, have you tried the Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo, The Continental V2 and JH13 Pro with an iphone or ipad/ipod?
