Mine just died after 5 years.  Pretty sure it was due to the heat.  Seems like the new heat sink on the a5+ should solve the problem...Not sure if I'll try to get it repaired since they will inevitably fail again due to the heat sink problem.  

you can get the denon d2000 for $199 if you call J&R and ask for that price

Is it possible to get reshells done in silicone? I noticed on their order form the only option is acrylic. 

I love the earphones, but does anybody else think JH audio makes subpar cables? I got in on one of the JH specials so I received a replacement cable. When I tried the replacement cable after storing it in my drawer for a couple of months, it was defective. I said to myself "tough luck" and...

  Quote:   Nope...turns out the cable is defective...if I slightly touch the plug part the sound changes drastically. I guess I'll try contacting JH audio about it to try to get a replacement. Thanks.

  Quote: hmm, I made sure the dots were on the right ear piece and facing the same way the dots were facing on the black cables. I didn't consider JH audio messing up and placing the dots in the wrong place however. I'll try out different configurations and report back.

hey, do any of you guys have both versions of the JH stock cable? I have both the silver and the black version that I got from a deal, and I tried switching to silver from black today, and it sounds like utter crap. I couldn't stand listening to them for even one minute. They sounded worse than...

Quote: Hate to say it though, doesn't it kind of state the obvious? I like my JH 13 pros plenty, but it wouldn't replace any of my full sized cans. Wasn't obvious to me. Up until this post, I've read a few posts where people stated they preferred it to their high end full sized cans...

Quote: He also was willing to discuss the JH13 vs JH18 question to my satisfaction. His opinion is that for audiophile use, the JH13s are better. He states that the JH18s will be about 2dB louder in deep bass, and that this really is only useful in monitoring in the live settings. For...

I remember I read on a thread somewhere where a shure rep said they will take care of se500/530's having cable problems even if it's out of warranty. It's in this link near the middle of the page http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/shu...ml#post3124505

Quote: Seriously that tagline "you can fake multiple Auralgasms" is even dumber than the JH13 one what's next for the JH20 "nothing gives you a better Aural climax"? Agreed. I don't think marketing did a good job with this one....

How did you guys know if you needed a remold or not? My right piece fits perfectly but I feel a small bit of pressure on the helix? area of my left ear. I'm not sure if a remold is necessary and am afraid the fit might get worse. I can wear these for hours but the pressure on the left ear is...

Quote: Dont make me laugh ^^, the difference is far from subtle. Laughter is good. Glad I could make your day better. I'm not saying there is no difference. Based on what people have been saying (some even comparing them to $4000 headphones while top universal iems are never expected...

This is news to me. The general consensus in a previous thread seemed to be that iems have 1/3 the value of full sized headphones (e.g. shure se530's would only give you a sound quality that rivaled full sized headphones that cost around $100).I tend to agree with this sentiment. Case in point...

When you guys say "detail" what do you mean exactly? I noticed I definitely am not hearing some background details I used to hear with my westone 3 (e.g. audience cheering in Crazy by Gnarls Barkley used to be much louder I thought) while I hear other details I did not use to hear (e.g "ahh"...
