Then it should be fine!

Cute,
can you ship him to the UK for my isolation testing! ; ) No, but you can get your own barking fleabag when you're trying to sleep...
p.s. can he do mind control yet?
Firstly how many days can it take for the soft tissue to adapt to the acrylic shells, i am on my 5th day today and have noticed a slight difference for the better, but if i push them in on the face plate and exert some pressure on them the sound closes off and then is muffled.
It should be OK by now. It didn't take me more than 2 days. When I push the faceplate, there is no change in sound quality, but if I push it hard, it hurts, so I don't. A quick twist and it just kinda snaps into place. Perfect.
If i then lift the bottom lobe (think it is called that, longer pointed bit at shaped like Florida at the bottom!) it then opens up the sound again and does not feel so seal tight, pressure wise.
Have you tried listening to it while standing on your head? I'm asking because your bottom lobe would become your upper lobe and the sound stage would increase along with your blood pressure, John.
I'm joking of course, but it could be part of the break-in process, only you'd be the part that's broken eventually.
My guess is that the tubes potrude a little longer than optimal inside your ear canal. That may not be the only issue, but one of them. The lack of seal maybe another. My recommendation would be to take detailed notes of your impressions and put them in an email so you can refer to it when you call to follow up. Place your order number in the subject line.
If any of your sides is tighter than the other I would send them in for a refit. They will always bother you until you have both sides just right.
whats the best portable amp to get with the 16s? I would be my first amp so i was looking for opinions. Also, should i go with twag or amp 1st?
I have included the mock up Zac done and the actual faceplate.
I am not an expert and not sure of the process but it is not quite the same as the photoshop mock up have included.
Sent Zac a email, so will hear from him next week sometime if it is a technical thing and whether it can be tweaked or not. I have confidence in Zac! ; )
Actually looking at it, i'm not sure if the flying lady needs a tweak as well as the head seems to merge into the wings with no separation between the two.
Here they are;
Looks like a scan that has been cut out and stuck under the faceplate i think?
So how does that look to you Midoo?
What process does that look like do you think, as again i'm no expert on the artwork side of it.
I would nott know my arse from my elbow on the technical aspect of it! ; )
I can't even hear a ferrari zoom past me when the music is on in moderate volumes!
I have not noticed sibilance from the JH16s, but I also do not use it directly from an iPod/iPhone HP-out. An amped iMod would be a much better choice as a source if you prefer the Apple platform. Remember, even the best headphones are subject to source limitations.
I just turned the HiFiMAN's EQ off because the added bass was getting annoying and I'm not sure whether EQ screws with the sound quality or if the addition of sub-bass messes with the clarity. But, I'm loving the neutral sound signature of the JH13 Pro's again and the clarity is slightly better. What??!?! The JH16 Pro's better blow me away because it would piss me off if I wanted my JH13 Pro's back after awhile. I guess this saying applies " The speaker that reproduces all frequencies evenly and doesn't emphasize anything is the speaker that you'll love in the long run ".
For some reason, the right IEM cable won't go all the way in. It feels like there's something blocking it.
Since it has three bores instead of two, simply plug one of the bass driver bores if you want to turn them back into JH13pro.
