I was also planning on the JH5s, but went with the 1964t instead. It gave me a triple driver with custom art and tips for the same price. I will say that the triple isn't bass-heavy at all. It can definitely handle whatever you throw at it, i.e. a bass-heavy mix, but my drummer is about to order...

That's probably the best bet. I love my customs. But as a guitarist, I tell other guitarists that ask about the switch to go ahead and do it. You WILL hate the the tone, but just tough it out and you'll tweak and adjust over time. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages.   Which brand...

I disagree. While a better IEM will offer better sound overall, it won't fix your problem of bad guitar tone in your ears. First off, it'll take some getting used to, and you'll warm up to the IEM idea over time.   However, as a guitarist, I find that most of our tone comes from air moving...

Sorry for steering off-topic. I was just pointing out mine and others experience in the same sort of situation. The guys over at Prosoundweb will be more than willing to offer the same sort of advice for that situation.   The 1964 t's were definitely an improvement over the e2's on stage...

Anthony,   How big is your room? We have a space about 80ftx40ft and hold about 200 people in a service, and 4 powered 18in subs and two 1x15 powered tops have plenty of power to put 92dB in the back of the room, all while still feeling the low end in your chest. 80-90K is alot of money. Our...

Well, most headfi'ers won't like my answer, but here it goes:     I come from a long musician background, with a pretty strong experience in live sound. What you are describing is a stage that is wayy too friggin' loud. Getting everyone on ears will help. Put amps offstage or just have...

As for my experience, I thought the build quality was excellent. Not a single bubble, mirror somooth finish with no scratches at all, and a true light transluscent black (no brownish tint going on), and the artwork came out great. The ports were fine.   I know that I ordered mine in the nick...

Think about it. These things go for roughly the same price as Livewires and Hearyourself, yet offer features and build styles that are up there with Ultimate, JHA, and Westone. They're roughly half the price of those competitors, even with upgrade options, and they have a decent turnaround time...

As I've said before, I haven't had a bad experience other than the wait time, which was around 20 business days. The build quality is great (no bubbles at all) and the sound is great. Shoot, they even fit right the first time too, no matter how much I move my jaw or shake my head.   To add...

Alright. Here they are. Pardon the cruddy Macbook shot, but theystill turned out great. No bubbles or anything. Great fit too.  

Triples came in today! They look INCREDIBLE. I'll post pictures of them later. The custom artwork came out bada$$.   As for sound, and yes, they're my first customs, they're very detailed, yet not harsh. Very deep low end but not overbearing. I'll let y'all know how they work out on stage...

Quote: Thanks for letting it be known. It was that listening which alerted Aleksey of a mistake for which he promptly emailed me. I haven't used customs before, but decided to use 1964 over JH, Alienears, and Livewires just because of the sheer value. They should be coming any day and...

Aleksy just emailed me apologizing for the wait. They accidently sent the order confirmation to the wrong email address. In that email it said that they were also shipping custom earplugs. I never ordered them, but thought that they were sending them as an apology for the increased wait times...

They are taking a while. Still no T's yet. 1964 said they should be here today, yet nothing. I'll give them a day or two more.

For my e2's, I used some foam earplugs (purple Walmart ones), scissors, a candle, and a paperclip to make some new foamies. They are great! I don't think there's anything fancy going on with a piece of foam. In fact, I like them better than the original Shure tips.

Alright. Day 12 since I've sent in impressions, payment, and artwork. Getting antsy. When will they ship?!

Hey guys. I just got my impressions done yesterday and am sending them out tomorrow for some triples. I'll let you know how things go.   Sil3nce, what was wrong with your impressions?

My first HeadFi post! (Longtime lurker and longtime Gearslutz'er)   I'm a bassist looking to upgrade from my Shure E2's. With lots of research, I've narrowed my decision to two choices:   JH5 Pros Alien Ears C3   These will mainly be used for live monitoring. Hearing bass, kick...
