Hi,
 
Just some gentle trolling.  I read the whole thread.  Amazing job Flinkenick!  Now review those iems already.
 
And now to address the Jh Audio hate earlier in the thread:
 
I've been listening to headphones for a long time and have some amazing toys, the JHA 13fp remains a killer ciem.  Love it!

I tried Rosie which I think is the Universal version of the JH13FQ. Bass speed is amazing. It is very sibilant and not at all engaging though

I agree, for me it holds up well even after listening to several other TOTLs for two years. A very exciting listen, I can see why it's a good stage monitor. Mine is V1 (with FP) tho, haven't heard V2. I prefer it to JH16, Angie and Roxy, but can't comment about Layla bcos too little ear time.

And then they launched the JH13V2 universal which further adds to the confusion. I heard Rosie in a meet, didn't really sound like my JH13 FP.

and then they changed Rosie from 6 BAs per side to 8. At this point, it's safe to assume anything one buys from JH will sound different no matter what it says on the cover.

Could be a troll tho
 
  The Rosie and the JH13 PH on both versions have always been two different iems. 

I think Jude said in this video that Rosie is the Universal version of the JH13FP

Not to mention that the JH13v2 custom and JH13v2 Performance Series sounds way too different to be the same model.
 
Then I found out that the JH13v2 custom has 6 drivers while the Performance Series has 8. Don't even know what's going on anymore.

The new JH13v2 has 8, the old one had 6.

As they say, if you can't convince them to buy your IEMs, confuse them!
