Time for customs! ES5 vs. JH13 vs. Miracle - Page 2

Hi there, keep in mind that the part I bolded may not be true. People have been unhappy with high end customs because they don't match the sound signature that they want. For example, even though the UM Miracle is surely very high quality, a few people have bought it and been highly unhappy with it because they were looking for a warmer, fun sound. The problem isn't the Miracle, it's that people thought "oh even though it's not what I want it'll be so high quality that I will like it". That wasn't the case.

 

You should write John Moulton, the wizard audiologist behind Heir Audio (his email is in the heir audio threads or the heir audio website) about the 6.A. Everything he does is very well crafted, just tell him what you want to hear and he'll let you know which of his custom line is right for you.

 

 

Good post,

 

The biggest part of deciding which custom to get is deciding what sound signature you want.

 

That's the natural sound signature. The Westone ES5's are tuned that way in my opinion.
 

 

From what I've gathered:

 

Miracle = Balanced

ES5 = Mid Focused

 

I'm not too sure on the JH13 but those have more impressions than both the Miracle and ES5. 

That is a natural sound. 

Or if you don't need crazy isolation and custom fit, the Sony EX-1000 does quite well when deep, impact full but not exaggerated bass is required. It also does quite well in the soundstage and clarity metrics.

It has been a really long time since I've heard JH-13 though.

Edit: oops sorry, didn't see the last post.

Hi LostmySelf,

 

Finally which IEM you go for?
