    Looking for IEM around $400 USD

    Looking for a pair of IEMs for the bf, his Shures were stolen a while ago.   I'm looking for the best quality for less than $400 USD or so.  Universals only, he doesn't want to consider customs.   My personal favourites have been the JH5s for that price range, as well as the previous version...

    TWag OM no sound in one ear

    I have a 48 inch TWag OM cable for my JH13s but yesterday, all of a sudden there's no more sound from my left ear.     The IEM is fine because I tested it with the right side of the cable and it works so there's something wrong with the TWag.   Since they're pretty expensive, can I get...

    JH13 UM Remold, is this a cracked shell? Or air bubbles?

    Hi everyone,   Recently I cracked one of my JH13 shells and sent the whole thing to UM to be remolded.  When it came back, right now it has this problem.    I can't really tell if it's air bubbles (in that case it doesn't bother me), or the inside is cracking.   I've done one remold...

    Durable replacement cable for JH13?

    I love my JH13s more than any pair of headphones I've ever had but I have a problems.   The cables that come with them are not the best quality.  I have a pair of JH5s as well and I was using that cable on the JH13s after my JH13 cables broke but those are starting to go now as well.  ...

    Worried about UM?

    I've been sending UM emails to get my JH13s reshelled.  At first they replied promptly, about 1 day after regarding the cost, the specs, etc.  The first 3-4 emails were very quick and after that they became slower and slower to about 4 or 5 days per reply or no reply at all.   I then...

    Driving JH 13 vs Driving JH16 with just ipod?

    I've noticed that the JH13 Pros and JH 16 Pros have different impedances.  Jh 13 is 28 ohms while JH 16 is only 18 ohms.  Correct me if I'm wrong but an ipod Classic is supposed to be 32 ohms so would there be a difference in terms of how the ipod would drive either pair of IEMS?   Is it...

    Reshelling JH13 Pro with Unique Melody

    I've had the JH5s for almost a year now and I'd like to try some JH13 Pros.  I'm planning to buy them 2nd hand so I went to Unique Melody to enquire about price for reshelling.   I thought I read that it costs around $80 USD on this forum?   UM is giving me a quote of 159 USD.  Is that...

    JH13 worth the money with only iphone?

    I just sent in my earmolds for a JH5 pro 2 days ago and I'm wondering in the future if I want to upgrade(in the next 2 years or later) is it worth it to get a pair of JH13s or UE11s just to use with an iphone or ipod 5G unamped? I used to have the HD600s and HD650s and I realized I use them...

    Better sound isolation?? JH customs or SE530 squishy tips?

    I travel a whole lot on the plane and I'm basically sold on the JH5 pros for my new pair of IEMs. How's the doing isolation compared to the black squishy tips of the Shures? I've heard some say customs are a lot better and people that say customs are worse. What have you found? Edit...

    SE530 vs. UE 4 custom vs. UE 5 custom vs ?

    I'm looking for a new pair of IEM since my SE210s finally broke after a couple years of abuse, getting sucked in by the automatic vacuum, chewed by the dogs, etc. They were a great pair of headphones for the ipod or iphone and now I'm looking for a replacement. Currently I have my eyes...

    Shure SE210 vs. Koss Porta Pro

    I currently only own the Shure SE210 and Koss Porta Pros but my Sennheiser HD600 and HD650 will be here within a week. I really like the SE210 because they sound detailed and very clear to me. No muddiness, no excessive bass. Although the soundstage isn't huge, it's decent. The midrange...
