    JH Audio JH-13 PRO impressions thread

    Just got my pair. I'm happy to report that my fit seems to be fine (so far), and that the hype is justified, to the extent possible... there's really no substitute to hearing these yourself. The bass is perhaps the smoothest and deepest I've ever heard (in my admittedly limited experience). And...

    JH Audio JH-13 PRO impressions thread

    After six months of hearing nothing but praise, I think I'm finally convinced that I need to get myself a pair of JH13s. I do have one question, though, about the build: will they become fragile in subzero temperatures? I walk back-and-forth to work all year long, and during the winter, exposed...

    Reliable, proven audiologist for getting ear impressions in the Chicago area?

    No, I didn't. I did some Googling, and I identified a couple of places in Evanston, but I didn't make a move beyond that. I decided to hold off on the JH13s for the time being... the price is a bit steep. I haven't completely given up the idea, though -- if you end up getting impressions made...

    Reliable, proven audiologist for getting ear impressions in the Chicago area?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did go to the JH Audio website, and I did search for audiologists in the Chicago area, and I did see a list. Unfortunately, in my experience, just because an audiologist shows up on a generated directory list does not mean that they will produce good custom molds...

    Reliable, proven audiologist for getting ear impressions in the Chicago area?

    Can anyone provide the name of a good, proven audiologist in the Chicago area for getting ear impressions? I had some taken for my ER-4S in my hometown a few years ago, and I was decidedly underwhelmed by the resulting customs (I ended up going back to the triple flanges, much as I hated them)...
