Perhaps you've seen my other threads, quick recap: Have had UE TF10 for 3-4 years, wanted something with more bass, but the same or better mids/highs.
Tried 5EB, mids/high completely inferior to TF10, realized that I don't want to sacrafice mids/highs for bass. Thought about getting IE80... then just decided I'll do it once and be done... time to go custom.
UM Merlins were my first choice, upon further reviews I read that although they are a different type of bass, I fear they may be TOO unbalanced for my liking.
But honestly, there were two things that really shifted me from the UM Merlins to the JH16.
So, I'm posting this here because I'm going to the Audiologist next week for impressions, then sending payment and impressions off to JH.
Does anyone have a reason why I shouldn't buy the JH16 other than "they are over priced" or "I want them you jerk, i hate you" =P
My biggest flaw so far is the lack of a VI cable for my iPhone... the cable JH sells is ugly... the mic is huge... I'm going to try and modify my TF10vi cable and make it work.

- Reviews said the UM Merlins bleed. They are vented for the Dynamic Driver, and though it isn't bad, at high volumes people around you can hear it. I travel... while on the plane I like to rock out... I don't want to be "that guy" who everyone around him can hear his music. It pisses me off when others do it.
- If I'm going to do customs, do it once, then be done. JH16 are the best... go big or go home. (is this really a valid reason? I think so).
