Just figured I would toss in my experience with these little guys. I'm somewhat new to higher-end audio stuff and although the JH5s are not obviously the best IEMs on the market or anything, they were certainly a huge step for me having come from cheap Best Buy buds run through my iPhone. They just got here earlier this afternoon and I have been listening to them non-stop since I pulled them out of the box. Compared to where I was before, these sound absolutely incredible. I can only imagine what the 13s or 16s sound like...maybe in a few years when I escape the "poor college student" lifestyle. =P The fit is, as far as I can tell, very good. If I contort my face in a way that's completely unnatural I can get the seal to break, but I really have to work at it. That seems good enough for me!
As far as sound quality goes, I don't really know enough about audio to be as specific as most people on this site. However, bass response seems awesome, loud and thumping in songs where it is supposed to be and nicely refined at other times. Vocals come through nice and clean, taking their place at the front of the sound. Highs are perhaps the weakest out of the three so far...still sounding good but not as separated from the sound as a whole as bass / mids. Overall though I am so impressed by how good they sound and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a killer sound on a budget.
In case anyone is curious, here is my timetable in terms of how long it took me to get them.
Ordered: July 26th, molds shipped out the next day.
Earmolds Received: August 2nd.
In The Lab: August 4th.
Shipped: August 6th at the very end of the day.
At My Doorstep: August 11th. (Those 5 days felt like forever!)
So a little longer than two weeks from start to finish, slowed down by shipping speed and things of the like.
