JH Audio JH-13 PRO impressions thread

Hey for everyone who owns the Sennheiser HD800's and JH13 Pro. Is it worth getting both or are they the same? My first thoughts were the JH13 Pro was a carbon copy of the HD800's in terms of detail and sound quality but the HD800's obviously wins in soundstaging but I'm hearing the JH13 Pro is still competing against the HD800 in terms of soundstaging. I personally don't want to have to go and buy a better amp then the one that I have now to run the HD800s to the max. I could spend less and get the JH13 Pro only. Is it worth it guys?

No idea Jerry just told me they are way under the average for refit's needed per pairs sold.


Great, My second biggest fear about custom earphones is no worries.

They are not the same sound. The HD800 are a little more forward, brighter with less bass, and pickier about the amp you use than the JH13Pro. I think the HD800 have slightly better soundstage being a full size can, but both have great imaging.

Have you heard either of them?

Apparently Adam doing the art for JHA is the same guy that did the beer glass design for Jay Summers of the Rolling Stones a few years ago, which I copied on my UE11Pro. After Jerry and Adam saw my UE11pro they laughed and decided that they wanted to have fun with my JH13Pro during the re-fit, and do something different with my artwork (not the beer). It's going to be a surprise - I can't wait to see it (Jerry gave me a hint but I gave them creative license).
