Looking for some IEM's suited to hip hop and rap. I listen to Kanye, Lupe Fiasco, Hieroglyphics, Gorillaz etc etc. Want something with clear, punchy bass and good soundstage. No budget in mind. Just want the best.

I've been reading lots of great reviews on the RSA protector, and I've noticed the really sleek Pico Slim recently. I have JH-16s on order in a few weeks and I really want to enjoy true audio heaven =) while maintaining the most portable setup!   However, I'm very curious about this.. how...

Hello, I intend to go custom iem pretty soon probbably in combination with the hifiman hm801 and game module. When my mind was made up about htat I started reading about the rsa protector, the first portable balanced amp. My favourite portable amps until now have been the rs71a and the ibasso...

Hi all, I am looking to buy some decent headphones for home system. I need something that doesn't leak too much sound to annoy my wife watching TV while I listen to music. I am willing to spend up to £500 but may go higher for the right headphones. Initially they will probably be unamped, so...

Hey guys!  I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to try out some of JH Audio's NEW JH-5M line custom IEMs.  They are similar to the JH-5 Pro, but smaller and designed to fit under a motorcycle helmet.  I believe the audio characteristics are very similar, but there are a few differences...

Via their facebook group,   To the first 50 orders, JH16Pro is $975   Use coupon code "XMASINJULY2"   Coupon code went into effect at 4:30pm Eastern time today.

Can someone please feel me in on the differences and pros and cons of each mentiones IEM. I am on the fence between the two and I have been through this struggle with universal fits. I am ready for some customs!!! I have a RSA Shadow amp to power the customs I decide on. After trying all the big...

Hello guys, I read all about iem but i can't find answer. I have an imod with ibasso D4. And i am trying to find best iem for jazz and classical. Seperation and soundstage is also too important for me and i will listen it at hospital or outside. So isolation is important too. Let's say...

Hi!   I need some advice/ideas/help really fast, so I thought I´ll ask you guys here at head fi where the source for info is potentially better and faster than in Sweden where I live.   I need some new headphones or IEM´s and I´m going to a demo to listen to some IEM/headphones tomorrow...

I just received my JH-16's in the mail. And they sound great.   One problem on the fit though is that they go too far up in my canal. They ends of each one is actually pressing on the end of my canal before the rest of the monitor hits my ear. So basically even just touching them with one...

I'm not an owner of either the JH13 or the JH16 but curiosity has seized me.  Right now, there are two JH13s up for sale, both of them hundreds of dollars below their original price, neither of which looks to be in any immediate danger of being grabbed up.  Given the fact that remolding is only...

Just wanted to say a quick WOOHOO!!!   My JH16 Pro's just arrived.  I've been listening to them for about 3 hours and I have to say.  WOW!!!   I've been using Shure SE530's for the last 3 years.  When I got them I thought they were amazing, and I guess they are, but the difference...

Ok,the jh16 impression thread is full of order status and dates scattered around and i thought we can collect all the informations in one thread so that we have a reference and for future customers to know the wait time.   MY ORDER: jh13 ORDERED:5/21/2010 JH Received molds:6/3/2010...

The JH16 Pro: JH Audio Announces The JH Audio JH16 Pro Custom In-Ear Monitor And the high-end custom IEM (in-ear monitor) market continues to heat up, with the release of JH Audio's upcoming JH16 Pro. JH Audio will soon be officially announcing the JH Audio JH16 Pro, an eight-driver...

JH Audio JH16 Pro First Impressions This is a photo of the actual JH16 Pro I'm using. (Photo courtesy of JH Audio) I received a production sample of the JH Audio JH16 Pro last week. And, yeah, I was excited. When something's this new (especially at the level of performance of this...

Hi I'm currently using miracles ( balanced through the clas and sr71b). I would like to try a different type of sound, with more bass and more forward mids. Now, I know there had been some reviews on the heir 8a and the jh16 (read them all), but to my knowledge, none that was comparing the 8a...

Hi guys,   Just ordered a pair of JH 16 Pros, and have started looking into buying a portable amp as well. At the moment it's likely the amp will be driven straight from an iPhone, but I would like to insert it into a home system featuring a Bel Canto C5i, and drive a pair of HD650s when...

I just recently got my XBA-3's reshelled through inearz who did an amazing job. For the past few months, I have been searching head-fi for the cheapest reshell option and at the time inearz seemed to be the cheapest.   The reshell including cable + return shipping (excluding impressions) was...

Since the JH16's First Impressions thread is now 3 years old it makes some sense to convert it into an Appreciation Thread. I'll start off with some pics...                       8 Drivers per side, standard cable plugs for lots of choices for cables and terrific...

I was just wondering if anyone has ditched over ear headphones completely and gone for high end IEM's instead?   I am getting a bit tired of full size headphones because they all have at least one "dealbreaker" such as too bright, not enough bass, poor build quality etc. Until you are...
