I bought a custom @PLUSSOUND cable which had terrible range (If my phone was in my pocket, it would cut out) so I am going to wait for impressions of this cable. Let us know!

Really interested in how the address the bass pod eq on the wired version.

Yep, I'm interested in hearing how well they work.

Waiting on reviews for these too. Had the Plus Sound BT Cable but sold it as the cable was quite stiff and didn't sit very well.

The design on these looks a bit better, hopefully decent BT connection from 4.1.

Out of curiosity, what made you guys pick 4.1 over 5?
I was under the impression that 5 allowed more and faster data xfer, thus allowing better sound?

 

[stacey]

Bump, no one here has taken the plunge yet?

I have a friend that received the JHA Bluetooth last week

pros - easy to connect to phone
Great clarity almost as good as wired to the iPhone
Good ergonomics
Cons - bass is pretty high I’m sure it’s at the max level. The quality of the sounds is still great but I’d like to roll the bass back a touch.

Overall a thumbs up and good purchase

Doesn't seem to have much reviews on this cable online. I'm waiting to see if they'll do any black friday sales on it before giving it a go

I actually asked JH Audio about this on their instagram account when they first announced it, but noticed they've done a dirty delete on my comment a week after, along with other comments regarding this.

Range and Battery? The Plussound one sucked for range (aka had to have the phone int he same pocket side as the bluetooth dongle)

 

[stacey]

^ That’s bad considering how high PS can be optioned to. That’s why I like sticking with OEM stuff.

I have had one of these cables in my drawer for about six months, and just fired it up today:

It took two tries to pair to my iPhone X, but the connection seems to be solid now. I can walk around the house and maintain the connection.
The Smoky Litz cable is excellent, and the memory wire provides the right combination of stiffness and flexibility.
I would agree with the above comments on clarity. Most bluetooth connections have diminished clarity versus wired. This one is very clear.
The bass is pronounced.
I will give the combination of the JHA BT cable and my 64 Audio U18T iems a bit of time for acclimation (brain burn), but I am tempted to EQ the bass down by a few db

Is it as good as my wired connection (Lavricables Master)? No.
Is the SQ difference worth the convenience of wireless? So far, yes.
