I'm a big metal fan too... try the eq i have above and tell me what you think, when I listen to some stuff that I really really know accurately (killswitch engage for example) once i add the 500hz in it sounds "correct". I just hate having to do that eq. 

Hey Guys!  I've been on the search for the perfect pair of headphones to use as reference for tuning PA systems when I am gigging (I'm a monitor and FOH engineer by trade)... To me the Shure SRH840's sound PERFECT after this EQ in itunes is applied (which is funny because I usually never...

Well guys, here is my update: After ordering the 16s I freaked out and called Chris and had the order changed to 13s. After talking with some colleagues in the business we determined it would be smarter for me to grab the 13s.  I received them today.   First impressions: Wow, I don't...

Hey guys! been a while since I posted here! When I last posted I was probably in college for audio engineering and only had a pair of JH5s.    Anyways, I was working for Carnival Cruise Lines recently as their Sound Tech and they got me and the production cast some IEMs on their dime. The cast...

How do JH7s compare to JH16s?? I'm pretty sure that if I go JH Audio route again (which I always have thus far) that I will probably get the 16s...

I currently own JH5's and JH7's. My JH5's are great for the gym, and what ever. My JH7's work well for doing monitors for now. But I am looking for a pair of IEMs for FOH now.   I have found that a well tuned PA system tends to sound very similar to my Shure SRH 840s and because of that I...

I would like to spend $250 or less on a pair of on ear headphones, could you recommend me something?   They have to be: Comfortable Closed back design (don't want lots of leakage... these will be use for the gym and on planes) Sound signature: For the most part I enjoy a very natural sound...

It's been a while since I've been on here. I currently have JH-5's which were a great first IEM and now that I'm doing more monitor engineering locally (and might be doing touring in the near future) I want to upgrade to at least 7's.   My questions are: Would you recommend the 7's or 11's...

If I were you I'd get JH5's or w/e model of 1964ears that you want.

What does the BA stand for again?

well I generally can take 1/2 way up on my ipod so i guess a little more than that.. might even just stay at half way....

(I'm mostly curious about the volume part too...)

Do you have that saved? Can you send it to me perhaps?

I just got the BURN IN app on my ipod touch. You guys probably all know about it, if not and you DO have an ipod touch or iphone would you be able to tell get the app (free) and tell me a good volume level to let mine burn in at? I just started 1 hour of pink noise and the volume is a bit under...

Since you have EQu I will also ask... I saw that you can make many different eq curves... for each one you do it's represented by a green circle, how many of the circles can you have going at once? I will most likely want to eq very tediously

Didn't know about the EQ apps! Thank you. and "grossly scooped" could mean anything but i said "grossly scooped mids" as in the mids were scooped out... it's a term mostly used between guitarists. Black and yellow as in the dumb hip hop song that's on the radio lately... Rap sounds decent is...

About the sound signature of the iPod touch 4g? Too much bass and the mids sound grossly scooped. Great for listening to "black and yellow" but everything else like my rock or metal generally sounds too big... The old Rush records sound good because they're kinda thin and get beefed up but I...

Hey boys I'm back after a hiatus from this site for I don't know how long (nor what for!). I didn't have to get a refit... upon playing drums to a cd with these on I used the high hat as a great seal indicator and realized when twisting the IEM's all the way back to insert, after that my left...

Wow... I thought the whole "not sounding center" thing was just me... now I HAVE to get a refit :(

I've found what works good is wearing the cable behind my neck like rockstar style instead of ipod style and tightening the plastic strip up very tight... pulls on the left ear into position ahhaha And the seal like never breaks.... can open my mouth REAL wide it just has less isolation... but...

If I push where I circled the sound quality increases slightly and the isolation problem is fixed, but it's only while I'm pressing... i just hope if I tell JH audio all this it will be enough for them to know exactly what the deal is just because I've heard of people needing multiple re-fits...

I might have to send my left IEM for a refit.... it's a strange story. When inserting the right IEM I can feel it LOCK right in. and the isolation is great, with the left it doesn't exactly lock in just kinda goes in and the isolation isn't as good. (tried the finger snap on both ears test)...

These JH 5's seem to sound best to me during long listening sessions... good or bad thing? idk... because as I like it, I don't remember me liking them this much when I first put them in every time. Maybe I just hit a big hump in the burn in process and they'll sound this great to me every time...
