Interesting. What other phones would you equate the JH5s detail retrieval to?
Just in terms of detail retrieval, perhaps SE535. Good but certainly not best in class. I thought my W3 had better detail. While JH5 is aggressive and punchy it is also a little bit unrefined sounding to these ears. Still good for the price and it is a 2-driver entry level custom but my opnion could be skewed by owning the JH13 as well which is light years ahead in terms of transparency, detail and overall refinement. Yes, I DO find it a $600 difference.
