Anyone knows if the default transparent black in the order form is like edwood's black,

or is it like this?

double post

 

[relishmalice]

Lol so many repeated posts.

Edwood's one is light smoke.

2nd picture is darker translucent black.

Neither is the default translucent black.

If you're burning for a certain shade of black just send them a photo or image depicting what you want and they'll get you somewhere in that area.

I've had to send my 10X3s back to JHA as the plug connectors were impacting on the left and right tragus. However, by earpieces got lost by FedEx on the way back to me...

Unlucky I hear you say? Not at all! I'm getting a new set remade, but instead of getting 10X3s, I feel that fate has intervened and I'm paying the extra for a set of JH13s!

Will soon be joining the club!

live musicians dont use a more highly neutral sound at all, most will be tune to reveal their particular part more clearly. singers the mids, drummers the bass and highs, bass players the bass and maybe a little highs for click track. so they may have more headroom, but I do not think this automatically means they will be neutral, in fact i'm thinking quite the opposite, but hey its all conjecture.

My impression is that JH is approaching the IEM market from a different perspective than most of the other competing companies. He seems to be on the cutting edge of trying to improve his business and generate interest in his products. Offering discounts and developing new models at a pace that far exceeds what we're likely to see from Westone/UE. I would feel nervous if I were one of those companies. Jerry could end up seriously undercutting their market if he has TWO different monitors that exceed anything another company has. Just price the JH11's at the price of the ES3X and the JH16 at the UE11 price. I could see UM and JH taking a lot of market share over the next couple of years.

yes and if he does it too quickly, he will piss people off and it may backfire.

yeah I just spat at mine, threw them on the ground. honestly these last couple of pages are ridiculous. a few words from the guy and y'all have it all worked out

Don't get me wrong, I'd still pay $6-700 for a pair of new JH13pro's from Jerry, but any more than that and you might as well just go for the JH16's, which offer 40% better performance with the new drivers he's using for them.

sarcasm? I hope so, 40% at this end is just a silly number. there is not even 40% leeway IMO, if there was, even if these new IEMs were 100% which they obviously arent, this would mean the JH13 are only performing at a maximum of 60% which for anyone who has heard them is a crazy number

I got the transparent black on mine, but they're away for refit so from memory I'm going to say it's more like the second picture.

 

[cujobob]

I assume he's being sarcastic. At most, there's probably a 2-5% increase in performance unless the drivers were improved upon significantly, which, at this point (the JH13 are still a fairly new design), is unlikely.

If the price of the JH13 dropped significantly, that would suck for us new buyers...but it happens.

 

[shigzeo]

considering nearly all the drivers come from the same company, and unless more always equals better (no matter the implementation or the manufacturer's intent), I wouldn't even bother losing sleep. the jh13pro is the best, most neutral iem i have heard and will likely remain that way for a long time. adding driver, subtracting drivers, paying marketers, or headfiers for different opinions will not change that.

the jh13pro is king.

 

[midoo1990]

so,i assume that anyone who bought the jh13pro would have no reason to buy any other iem or headphone because he reached the peak of the mountain?that sucks man,where the fun in that,i mean you always buy new iems and CANS and discover new sound signatures and sell and buy what you dont like or like and all that stop in a second!thats why i will never get the jh13pro

 

[cujobob]

Adding more drivers will increase efficiency (perhaps not a good thing with IEMs always) and lower distortion, but could alter the Impedance in a bad way. With IEMs, its possible you'll see nothing but benefits by adding more drivers...with fullsize speakers, that's not the case, always.

No, THAT sucks.
