I have to stop reading these boards.

The JH10x3 are superiour to the ES3x and tend to have a slightly cold signature. Hence not real an equivalent. About the rest, I don't really know... seehee |

Overall there's some lack of precision I expect from a premium custom. After some comparism with the UM3x I came to the conclusion that there's not such a big difference to justify the extra money. Don't get me wrong the ES3x are really good cIEM but I think they can't compete with any three-way model of JH-Audio. |

But we recently had a meet here with generic (test) versions of UE4, UE7, UE11, JH10x3, JH11, JH13 and almost any relevant universal. Since Westone doesn't provide gernerics we had a custom ES3x which fitted me perfectly. Bottom line I was really dissapointed about the performance of Westone's custom but really surprised what Jerry has to offer with his line-up. I think he really knows what he's doning and seems to be a nice guy at least mail-wise. |

I don't mean to offend you - this is more of a lesson to some of the others here from a previous incident. You speak like an authority on the matter, when in fact you have only heard the universals vs a borrowed ES3X. You made it clear to add that it was your opinion, and I can accept that. Many of us have posted before that the universals may not be an adequate representation of the finished custom's sound if the fit is not just right. Even then, Jerry admits that the 6Khz treble peak I heard in the universal JH13Pro would not be there in the final product. In fact, other people blasted Blutarsky for trying out my three pair of flagship customs and reporting "his opinion" that the ES3X still beat the JH13Pro and UE11Pro - the peeps here were saying that his opinion is not valid since the customs were not made for his ears, even though he also thought his personal ES3X sounded similar to my borrowed ES3X and he got a good seal with them all. SO WHERE ARE ALL THOSE SAME PEOPLE, now that someone has tried ES3X that were not made for their ears and compared that to the universal JH13Pro and JH10x3, and said the ES3X were not as good? Shouldn't that be an invalid comparison too, according to the previous standards set in here? If that's acceptable and Blutarsky's post isn't, then it's a double standard I tell yah... Now, Blutarsky may be right and seehee2k may also be right in their interpretations of what they heard in their demos - but will what they heard with "demos" and "unfitted" customs also apply to the rest of us? If you guys say either one is valid then you need to apologize to Blutarsky. I will be posting a review soon, comparing my personal ES3X to my UE11Pro and my JH13Pro, and I do have a favorite - but there is a second place and third place custom that both sound great as well, and ALL 3 still stomp most full size dynamic cans. The one I pick as my preferred custom is because it suits my tastes better, because in this case they are all very capable. It's my job in the review to explain what they do well or poorly in an objective manner, and how they do it differently, so that others can use that data to help them decide if that is the right custom IEM for them or not. But in my review I also get to explain why I prefer one over the others subjectively, based on my preferences or based on their faults, or their price, or whatever criteria I choose to use in that decision. And my conclusion does not match Blutarsky's if that matters. I am sticking up for his right to have his comparison declared valid. The sound of these custom IEMs is different enough that it may not be decided for a long time which is king by general consensus, no more than the K701 vs HD600/650 argument will ever be settled either. |

As well out of curiosity I haven't seen a price listing here for the JH-13 Pro's? How much are they, I assume somewhere close to the 1-1.5k CND range? |
