Went to handheld audio. I listened to all 6 demo units, i.e the entire JH lineup. I spent about 2 hours in total listening and then Nick did ear impressions for me incase I decide to order. He didn't charge for the impressions..well its all included in the price of the monitor but if I decide not to order anything I won't be charged for the impressions. If I do decide to order nick just said drop him an email with what I want, he will sort it and when they come back all done I make the payment.
Some quick thoughts:
JH5: a nice little one, quite warm, big bass, felt it was outdone in most areas apart from bass by the SE530s with custom sleeves. Would be a very nice budget custom though.
JH7: this to me is what a SE530 should sound like. Visceral bass impact and better treble, pretty nice mids too. I liked the 7's a lot
JH10: I didn't spend long with these, maybe 5 minutes, out of all of them I found these to be the most flat and the least amount of bass. They were nice but the sound sig wasn't for me
JH10x3: wonderful. Simply outstanding, it crushed anything I've ever previously listened to. Strong bass, beautiful mids, crisp highs, soundstage better than I've ever heard, detail so fantastic. I liked these so much, I spent in total about an hour listening to them.
JH11: I was looking forward to listening to these. I was a bit disappointed, the low bass hump, whilt not encroaching on the mids was off putting on a lot of songs, this may be good for some but it just distracted me too much.
JH13: after the JH10x3 I thought naa you can't top that. But jesus...seriously, yea I understand there are 3 extra driver per ear but what the hell? These are just...unreal. what really shocked me was the detail, how much they completely pulled me into the music, the soundstage, oh just everything. Seriously, everything, I loved these so much, too much, I felt like I was enjoying the music far too much.
But I will have to see, if I can afford the JH13's I will but the 10x3's are amazing and would be very happy with them.
