Others who have heard the 16 demos didn't note that it sounded much worse than the 13s. It seems that demos of the 16s are hard to find right now, at least in my part of the states.

I would not read to much into it as my personal gut feeling after been dazzled by all the demos i heard today it just did not sound right from the word go with the 16 demo's and just hope and praying that even with the good QC at JHA i hear about it was just an honest mistake them escaping the fold with all the mega busy rush they had on since the 16 orders went mad.
I just thought the sound i heard from the UE18's was like the JH13's with added bass emphasis and can only imagine that is how the 16's should of/ are meant to be like not the recessed narrow, congested and non layered distorting bass reproduction i heard even with the fact it is primarily meant for pro musicians on stage with more headroom, i am guessing this is not even how stage performers would want to hear them sound.
I am confident these are unfortunately not quite right somehow, and the rest of the guys at my UK dealer had the same conclusion about them as i did and guess when a customer concurred that same experience as they had they then must of felt, well if the customer agrees it sounds off then back they go and await an autopsy report from Jerry on them.
If they are fit and healthy and are meant to sound like i have heard them, then fair enough i am the first person to slag the 16's off! lol
but again i am confident with also reading all these field reports that the sound of the 16's should maintain a lot of quality's of what i heard in the 13's just with more headroom and i am pretty sure Jerry himself would not trade clarity, soundstage, detail for a quick fix of deeper end bass presence alone.
I hope i am right as i am very cautious about going with Logitech and their customer service side of things and for that reason alone do not want to go down the Logitech route, but have to say i forgot that though whilst listening to the UE18's which really dazzled me and have to say i was impressed with them, so i really do hope and pray the 16pro does sound more like that which would then make my decision very easy
Just means i've got to wait another bloody week or two before i can put my order in!
It really is torture now. lol
