My JH13s got sent through the washing machine yesterday and despite my best efforts to revive them, they need to get fixed.
Before I send these back to JH to get fixed (if they can), I thought I might look into upgrading to something else. I have had these for about 4 years now (I think) and am not too familiar with what has come out since so I spent the morning reading through threads/reviews and the following seem to pop up as being potential "upgrades":
- JH Audio 13 Freqphase -- the JH16s seem to get somewhat mixed reviews and might be a little too bassy for my needs. The freqphase models seem to be getting favorable reviews compared to the older models like mine.
- Heir 8a. Promising reviews but shipping ear molds to China and the long wait time seems like a pain.
- Ultimate Ears Personal Reference Monitors -- Not too crazy about these. I think Logitech makes crap products and I don't think the whole fine tuning to my preferences would be worthwhile. They also seem overpriced.
I use my IEMs unamped. I listen to mostly rock, edm, rap. No classical music at all.
The choices since I purchased my JH13s seems to have grown exponentially. Am I leaving anything off my list that are considered "better" then what I have listed? Are the Heirs that much different to the new JH13s, and based on my music preferences would it be a smart choice?
Thanks for any help.
