that last line made me think of how somebody would recact if they put their JH13 into the washer....

also ambient vent is to let in a little in some out side, mainly meant for stage performers (so they can hear whats going on outside their monitors, such as the audience 'n' such)

SHIPPED!!!!!

Wow. After hearing nothing for a while, a shipped notice comes out of nowhere.

Now the nervous wait begins.....

@ slattikarma

I'm in the same boat as you. Received about 8 working days ago, heard nothing since then. And today, a pleasant surprise in my email

Very much looking forward to these!!

Can someone peer into their tweeter sound bore and tell me what color their high-frequency filter is? Mine is white but seems to be a little darker (grayish) towards the center. I'm wondering if this is just an effect produced by the shell. I got a color change to transparent smoke on my recent remold.

Which, by the way, I love the most because the comfort level for both ears match up completely. I had problems in the first two fits in that one ear was snugger or more secure than the other (left the first time, right the second) which nagged at me constantly. This time around, both ears feel exactly the same insofar as neither feels more or less secure than the other, and thus they're even more easy to forget than ever before.

Man, I'm going through JH13 withdrawls...I have a feeling the shells are made with melted heroin, not acrylic.

No, they rebuilt it completely. They keep permanent earmolds of every customer that they make using your latest ear impressions.

So for any of you who might be wondering "Am I getting enough isolation?", as I have been, reading such reviews as this one: JH Audio in-ear headphones: Worth $1,099? | The Audiophiliac - CNET News wherein the author claims to have not heard a subway train behind him, the JH13s are only said to have -26db of isolation. 26db of isolation, from what I've been reading, lies somewhere between a mosquito and a quiet whisper. As long as you have that much isolation with no music playing, your isolation's probably fine.

At least, that's what I've deduced.

I know Steve personally, but I totally disagree with him.
I can still hear the announcements on the plane and the airport. I can hear people talking behind me. This is a 23-32 dB of isolation not 90. You are going to hear some ambient noise, which is fine, especially on the motorcycle, because you can hear the cars and horns and sirens and yet cutout the wind noise.

My ER4P's foamies isolate more than the customs, but we are talking apples and oranges. You don't need to totally isolate your music world. Playing music at a reasonable level, deep into your canal, is exactly what you need to have a great musical listening experience.

I liked the review, and with the right music going (something with no lulls) I get really great isolation, but yeah, it's less than you might imagine from an IEM.

And I agree with you, I don't mind a little noise getting in. I just wanted some confirmation on my isolation, now I have it. I also figured others might be wondering the same thing.

Now if my left fit can just get re-made so it's comfortable, I'll be set

 

[relishmalice]

Just received confirmation that mine are shipped.

Wonder how long UPS would take for international shipments
