Thanks for the quick reply Ed. I'm going to see if I can get my color changed. That picture has convinced me, I hope you don't mind.

My inital reactions to the JH13's were that it was too much bass. But it's probably because I'm used to the most bass light of full sized headphones. As I'm getting used to them, I really can't go back to my other headphones. The only other headphones I'd like would be a universal fit version of the JH13's. So I can give a taste to anyone I meet of what the JH13's sound like. Did I mention the how awesome the JH13's are with the Smyth Research SVS Realiser? |

It doesn't feel good/fair My parents will kill me if I will say that I am about buying another pair. Even if I will wait a year. They thought that this pair will last for 5 years or so. I must work and save money for this! I am already on the half of the way! |

By all accounts it's an exceptional IEM. It really seems that you're caught in the trap of obsessing over the differences between products. Consider unplugging from head-fi for a few weeks. |

I must resist to my commitment to not buy any custom IEMs, but it's hard to sail among universals when finally a supposedly perfect Custom IEM has come out. I wish there was a European dealer that made JH-13. Maybe in future? |

Originally Posted by antonyfirst /img/forum/go_quote.gif No. I didn't even consider getting that. Suboptimal treble, from what I gathered. If I ever get a custom IEM it has to be something that "stays" and does all right. It's not price alone to hold me behind, but rather the overseas shipment, customs+taxes, involved risks and especially the possibility of needing refits an indefinite number of times. Westone has an European reseller, but I am not interested in their custom products. |

From Classical music to Electronic to Rock to even Video Games and Movies. It is the best I've heard thus far. It is even a perfect match for my Smyth Research SVS Realiser system. |
