My review of my reshelled JH16 - Coming in the near future
Subscribed.
Joe, do you think I should post pics of my X1 in this thread, or the other..... or both? At some point when Joker and I have full reviews of the X1 you can add them to the main post here, but I'm not sure about initial musings/pics.
Anyone know if I have some um2's which do not have replaceable cable, will they reshell it and make it into a RC version?
Wow kudos to the OP for having the balls to reshell JH16.
Look forward to your impressions. Pretty cool that there are so many affordable customs available now.
I don't really like this idea of an Executive option, it creates 2 versions of the same product confusing consumers more. The Executive option includes an upgraded driver? Do they upgrade all the drivers or just one of them? They also don't say anything about what "upgrading" the driver does; how does it affect the sound signature and frequency response? Why are they using inferior drivers in their main design, will this affect the crossover implementation? During development did they tune the IEM using the upgraded drivers or the inferior drivers? My understanding is that it's not just as simple as just a plug-and-play swapping out drivers like that.
I'm betting the upgraded one have vented drivers. You can only do that in a hollow acrylic shell and not a solid silicone one. Supposedly the vented drivers sound better, but I haven't seen/heard/read too much independent conformation of that.
