Looks like I'm becoming more and more popular by the minute.

I have heard flaws and have been unsatisfied with all of these headphones. This is a frustrating situation for me because, the westone guys recommended that I should get the um3x, and wait until I'm older to get a pair of customs. so that's what I did. I got the um3x and am still not completely happy. The reason I've gone for iems over full sized phones is mainly because they get used MUCH more, making them a better value and also more practical. What then would you recomend that I do? Are you saying that I'm not old enough or experienced enough to appreciate high-end headphones?
Are you telling me that I should be satisfied with what I have now? Do you think I can't hear or appreciate the differences between different phones? I find it rather immature of you to make uninformed, generalized posts like this one. The main concern for me with customs is obviously that I'd grow out of them within 1 to 2 years, or else I'd by them in a heart beat. So for now I'm torn between building my cd collection, or building a setup that will support my future jh 13 purchase.

Just because you father always drove a Ferrari and even let you drive it yourself since you were 7, doesn't mean you should be able to get a Driving Licence when you're 12, buy a house at 14, marry & have kids at 16, become a shrink at 18.

Well, yes -- it would teach you, amongst other things, to appreciate certain things in life now AND at later stages of your life. Being spoilt at such a young age is (likely) a recipe for disaster in the future.

I may be a younger head-fier but unlike a lot here I have been a audiophile for most of my life growing up with top end speakers in my home since I was born (literally) so I am going to say that age has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to understand what you are listening to.

Joining head-fi a few days ago, 3 months ago or 5 years ago has nothing to do with it. There are new members who are more mature (behaviour-wise) and who already know quite a bit about hi-fi. There are members who may have joined 3/4/5/6 years ago who may be quite immature, even if they know a lot about hi-fi. And equally, members who are quite mature and know very little about hi-fi and come here seeking advice.
Although not ALL young people are irrational and immature, chances are the younger you are the less rational & less mature you are. Obviously there are people in their 30's/40's/50's/60's who may still be immature but it's less likely stistically.
Why do you think car insurance is more expensive for younger drivers or older drivers with fewer years of driving experience?

Nevermind. Everyone's ears are at different levels. Some may never reach it.
Anyway JH13s seem to be catching on in Singapore... We had demos come in and JH13s were definitely stunning to everyone. Nothing had ever come close. And these were DEMO units, with the highs peak and the not so great seal and you don't exactly get the full sound.
I think that it's plain to see, that not only the people who go to shows, know and believe that the JH13s are quite plainly the best in terms of quality. (No talk about subjective things like "musicality")

Did you miss what he wrote about immature "newer" head-fi members? I was pointing out that he is sort of a hypocrite for attacking a league that he himself belongs to.

I said
"Many young, innocent and understandably immature new members" I don't think I quite belong to this 'league'

Sorry I missed out who you were talking about. It was Music_4321, not ok_computer. Sorry for the mix up. As your post came right after ok_computer's. My bad. I would agree with you on that part about Music_4321.
The second part of my comments in my previous post was talking about him. His ears not hearing the difference mean that others don't. It takes a lot just to sit there reading such arrogance.

You don't know what MY ears hear nor do I know what YOUR ears hear. What is clear is to me is that the UM3X are not that far from the ES3X and I'm pretty sure the ES3X are not that far from the JH13's.
However, people describe things very differently even when their experiencing of something may be quite similar. You might say "God, I absolutely love The Beatles, they're awesome, just so totally out of this world". I might simply say "I like The Beatles a lot". Perhaps in the end I actually appreciate their music more than you do. Or perhaps we pretty much like them the same, yet your description gives the impression there is, there never has been & there never will be anything as good as The Beatles.
Some of the descriptions seen hear give the impression that the JH13's are like a solid brick house, and other pieces of gear are described almost as houses built of plain cardboard. So, that leads to some wanting to do all they can in order to get a brick house because all the rest are simply rubbish or nearly rubbish.
