    JH/AK Janis

    Still can't find it anywhere on their site. I wonder if this project was cancelled? Seems like they are due for a DSP based earphone after their early experiment with the JH3A.

    Why not a Dual BA from Etymotic?

    Etymotic is testing a multi driver IEM now. https://www.facebook.com/EtymoticOfficial/posts/10158925399053180 You're welcome for the necropost.

    Genelec monitors - what headphones sound like them?

    An Etymotic with a tiny downward tilt, and more bass. The XR series perhaps. The Mc5 is very even sounding like my Genelec 8260 from a frequency response perspective besides sometimes bass being a little thin. That being said, it was my JH Audio Lola that let me to shopping for over a year for...

    JH Audio Lola Impressions and Discussions

    Are they more comfortable? Felt like having rocks in my ears and even though I sent them back a couple times to get redone, once I had them replace it with the universal, damn they were comfortable. Wish they did a softer material that could move and adapt... Moving my face at all broke the...

    A tie clip should be large enough. Amazon has many, and they look nicer than a plastic clip too.

    JH Audio Lola Impressions and Discussions

    Moving on to speakers. Built a pair of HiVi DIY 3.1 speakers, and upgrading to a Genelec 8260 next month. If they are as good as the Lola (no audible issues to me, excellent extension) then I'd probably rather have a Rythmik sub which the Lola would help pay for. But yes, I love them, and don't...

    For anyone curious: if you're spending money on a cable, there is a three band EQ module available to tune the treble and mids, as well as the bass. I had one made and it behaves as expected, though the cable was too "springy" and didn't stay looped over my ear. Hopefully at some point JH Audio...

    Guess not. Apparently my ears are so bad in speaker forums that I can hear hiss where others can't. I'm just happy you have an upgrade path for everything via upgrading the cables. Don't forget the internal cables and circuits too!

    Aftermarket cables for speakers or headphones don't make an audible difference: -In my opinion and subjective testing -Proven a null test that objectively measures this -According to blind subjective tests

    I imagine the purpose of a resistor would be to veil and turn down the treble and mids... Not sure how else the treble or miss could be turned down without making it sound more veiled. It doesn't sound bright to me though by default, and any less treble would sound veiled I think, but to me...

    There are already separate circuits for the lows, mids, and highs. I have a cable that can adjust each of them separately. JH Audio simply hasn't released one that does that yet. A seven pin cable would allow six way electrically isolated circuits that could be turned. Unfortunately, I don't...

    Introducing LUNA by DUNU, the world's first pure beryllium rolled foil diaphragm flagship dynamic in-ear! (Page 18: Loan Tour Announcement)

    Yeah, I wish more companies used the four pin connectors JH Audio uses... Tunable bass is nice. Technically they could also do three way tuning or have an active crossover and DSP correct for each circuit/set of frequencies if everyone started using that.

    Introducing LUNA by DUNU, the world's first pure beryllium rolled foil diaphragm flagship dynamic in-ear! (Page 18: Loan Tour Announcement)

    It's expensive... But you'd be looking at a nearfield setup of $7,000 plus some sound treatment to approach flagship IEM performance.

    JH/AK Janis

    I'm curious if it's the Janis or if it's their new 3D printed models that are 30% smaller with 3D printed sound tubes.

    JH Audio Lola Impressions and Discussions

    The nice transition from bass to midbass and midrange in Tron Legacy, Solar Sailor sealed the deal for me with the Lola. That and "Down to the River to Pray" having just the right vocal quality. It reminded me of the Etymotic Mc5 vs HF5, and I liked the cheaper, dynamic driver one specifically...
