WOW I don't know what makes me more envious..the JH16 or having a girlfriend on to customs/high end audio..mine don't even know or imagine my JH13's cost..she was lecturing me the other day for spending U$ 350 on an amp...

No confusion here, mate... I have found my perfect match and it took 8 drivers per ear to satisfy me. LOL

Happy Easter, everyone! Are those edible? Yumm! Please tell the GF that it's time to bling the HifiMan, 'cause now they like, don't match so y'know, send it to Zac to transform it into a giant pink Soap.

Along with some rhynestone treatment. Paris Hilton, eat your heart out...LOL

I must say my 16's sound very heavy in the low end almost to a fault right now. Still tweaking with things.

I do have some fit issues (they go a hair too deep in one side) but the seal is fine.

Oddly I have to almost use Treble Booster in iTunes to enjoy most songs.

Something must be wrong. Will call JH on Monday.

Tell us more about this once you talk to Jerry, please. I'm interested in how this turns out, primarily because I'm planning to buy a JH16 but am a bit worried about the increased bass emphasis. You're the second person to hint that the treble might be a bit muted. Let us know whether this gets resolved, or there's actually more of a low-end emphasis than you prefer.

Zac did an awesome job translating the idea and concept. To be honest, I'm seriously impressed with how JH has improved their artwork quality!

Well i'm just grateful she is supportive of my hobbies thus far including photography too.

It's priceless when you see someone you cherish be genuinely happy to have received her customs and listened to them and go " They are awesome!"-That is something I seriously think money cannot buy or replace!

Will do steaxauce. Electronic music is almost the only genre that is really workin for me with EQ off. Chemical bros/Crystal method etc.

I know that the headphones "will only sound as good as the recording" and whatnot, but it seems disheartening to think I would have to "restart" my whole library just to listen to these things.

Find out for yourself with an ABX test. But my bet is that you will have difficulty telling the difference between V2 and V0 (or 198 and 256) much less 320 or lossless. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and find that lossless and 320 cbr are just a waste of space.

Jxk: 320 waste of space? Maybe with your headphones, but not a case with Jh16/13.

 

[JxK]

Perhaps. Most people I know who use top tier universals find 192/V2 to be transparent. And I've never met anyone who could ABX V0/320 vs FLAC. Maybe the JH13/16 are revealing enough to find flaws in V0...but honestly I'm skeptical. That's the point of the ABX test. Until you try it you are only guessing. And I will say that I know that the majority of users who claim to hear a difference have not done a true ABX. If the test isn't blind then the placebo effect comes into play.
