    JH Audio Layla vs JH16v2

    I snipped this paragraph from a post by @kernel8888 from some time back. It's about all I've been able to find of anybody that's compared all the JH stuff: "JH AUDIO JH16V2- these have a slight treble spike but they are truly like a layla and jh13v2 had a baby- a great compromise with the...

    Love the Fiio FH-5. Where do I to go from here?

    It has begun. And as the the story often goes... I quickly went from checking out some cheap chi-fi stuff to buying the FH5 to scoring a used set of FH7’s and now I’m researching the JH Audio stuff. Sorry wallet! it’s different for me as I work in the audio industry and after doing A LOT of...

    JH Audio Layla vs JH16v2

    Anybody had both the 16v2 and the Layla and could offer an A/B? They look really similar on paper and by the FR graphs and I'm wondering what the major difference is for the extra $1,200. I've also read that the Angie sounds a bit like a little sister of the Layla. Anyone?

    Love the Fiio FH-5. Where do I to go from here?

    I do consider it an upgrade. I like it quite a lot actually. The lack of the upper mid-forward sound and the way they resolve much higher is all-around more pleasant. If anything, I'd appreciate a touch of the midrange back and a bit less of the 10k peak. But overall it's an obviously better...

    [FiiO FH7] Flagship 5-Driver (1DD + 4BAs) Hybrid In-Ear Monitors, Knowles DFK + SWFK Composite BA Drivers, 13.6mm Beryllium DD Driver

    @JaZZ Curious what your thoughts are on the FH-7 vs the Andromeda or the 846. I was considering trying the SE846 as well, but It didn't seem as though it sounds that much different/better than the FH-7

    [FiiO FH7] Flagship 5-Driver (1DD + 4BAs) Hybrid In-Ear Monitors, Knowles DFK + SWFK Composite BA Drivers, 13.6mm Beryllium DD Driver

    Well, yeah that's not even apples to oranges. It's more like apples to a transmission rebuild kit for a 72' Pinto hatchback! The V-Moda is a modern bassy, full size can with a big dynamic driver and the FH-7 is a 5 driver hybrid IEM attempting to please the audio obsessed listener who's willing...

    @addicted2music I would think either you've not found the right tips for your ears, or you just don't like the bit of "sizzly" top end in the FH7's. Also, make sure you've tried the red filters. I personally DO NOT believe in burn-in with BA drivers. Just got my FH7's today and here's a quick...

    Love the Fiio FH-5. Where do I to go from here?

    Got a set of FH-7’s on the way. Should I consider the Shure 846 as well?

    Love the Fiio FH-5. Where do I to go from here?

    Love everything about these except the FR bump in the upper mids. Wouldn't mind a bit more extension above 8khz either. What should I try next? The FH7?

    How do the upper mids compare to the FH-5? I'm really enjoying the 5's but they upper mids are a a bit forward.

    How to introduce EQ into a headphone system without a PC?

    Any EQ you buy would need to go between the DAC and the amp. Pay attention to connector types and make sure they're compatable. Also, be aware that graphic EQ's can be very noisy things since they're introducing up to 31 new op-amp based filters into your signal chain per channel. For that...

    Pro Audio Guy Seeking New Affordable IEM for Live Work

    Hello in there... It's been like 10 years since I posted anything here! And now I feel old having realized that... I'm on a quest and I need help. I'm a live audio engineer and I'm wading through the vast sticky quagmire of all these new IEM's from all these different companies trying to find...

    UE Customs vs. Future Sonic Customs. JoeShambro, you around?

    I think your the only one here that's had both. I think I know what your gonna say but I'll ask to make sure. Which do you prefer? I bet your gonna say you like the Future Sonics on stage and the UE's off. Anybody else heard both? I'm thinking the UE 7's or 10's or 11's vs. the...

    IEM's on stage. Why?

    I too have a love hate relationship with IEM's. If your not careful you can feel isolated from the crowd. You gotta put up crowd mics and use them. You can also have a hard time communicating with the other musicians. The more you play with the band the less you have to actually talk but...
