When you have heard the 13's balanced, then you have heard The music.

Thanks in advance...

If you're a true Brit, you're not supposed to smile broadly unless you come from the north (or from Wales), that is.

^^I expect you are right Jamato; i'm waiting impatiently for my case to arrive and the wooden front/back panels to be laser-cut. I may sneak a peek with it on a breadboard or in a cardboard box in the meantime; you guys will be the first to know.

along the same lines, should i be worried about sweat getting into the electronics, especially the cable connection to the ear pieces themselves? thanks

I think you'll be fine. I use my sensaphonics while I run on the treadmill. I don't believe your inner ear has sweat glands so I wouldn't worry.

My JH13's are finally back. I missed them so much. Listening to them as I type this post.

Bad news... I have sent out the impressions two weeks ago and the tracking number indicated that they have received the package on 17th. I wanted to check up on my order so I emailed Brittany. I didn't get any reply for a week, so I emailed again. Now, I get a reply saying that my impressions are no where to be found. I guess I need to spend another $50 on impressions and send them again.

I wasted $50 and 10 days of waiting time, so I recommend you guys to call up and check on your order if you didn't hear anything after sending out the impressions!

If you have a signed receipt that they received the impressions but they can't be found, I am sure JH will make it good with you. Since you have a receipt indicating they were delivered I would ask them to check again.

Before any flaming is thrown (again) my way, some of you might want to check my latest post on the ES3X thread today where I suggested someone whos's having issues with their ES3X's might want to consider getting some JH customs.

HOWEVER, having a world recession at present and seeing that currently JH Audio seems to be doing pretty well, is it not possible, I wonder, to hire a temp to do some much needed admin work? For weeks on end now we've been hearing about poor communication and other issues which seem to be caused by being understaffed. Considering these products are certainly not cheap, I simply find this whole admin side of things quite unacceptable. I can't imagine hiring a temp for, say, 3/4 months would be that difficult. And this certainly becomes an even bigger issue for those living outside the US.

I am listening to some Blues Traveler, not my favorite music by any stretch but on the 13 it is, well, interesting. The 13's sure do nail all of the transient speed and textures of "Four".

Well, actually I am enjoying "Four".

I agree completely... Customer service should be priority. Always. No matter what. Same-day responses to emails is a must, and they have to operate under a policy of something like "the customer is always right" - within legal boundaries of course.

due to the head-fi flu, i might catch this Jh13 pro virus as well

how does the JH13 pro's SQ compare with big brothers : HD800/650, Grado GS1000/PS1000/HF2/RS1, JVC Dx1000, denon d5000/7000, AKGs etc?

[I understand that this might have been discussed already, but the thread is too long ]

I was rather nervous after hearing about lack of response from JH Audio so I called them after sending my impressions last week. They confirmed they got it yesterday and sent me a confirmation email that my order's being processed. Brittany told me it's a good time to order now. Perhaps, they are not backed up now?? Jamie said 2 weeks but we shall see..
