Posted this in the other multi-customs thread too.
Still deciding on what to get as my first (and probably last) customs.
I've heard UM Miracle, Mage and JH13 demo sets.
Have yet listened to JH16, UERM and ES5.
Of the three that I've heard, I love the JH13 the most.
BIG treble fan here. Coming from the DBA02s, the JH13s were the first pair of phones that outclassed the trebles of my beloved zebras by a margin that made me uncomfortable with the 02s after just 1 hour of listening to the 13s.
Trebles-wise, I LOVED the 13s. The detail, the energy and the non-sibilant nature of the highs.
For the mids, it can do with more smoothness. But details wise still superb.
Bass was tight and controlled. I loved the speed of the bass. Details were also good. Could do with just a little more body. IMO, these are just a little (I can't emphasise more how slight the difference here is) below the sweet spot for bass quantity.
It's hard to find an ES5 demo unit here, or so I was told.
I've heard a few Westones universals and are convinced by their mids. No qualms there. What I need to know about the ES5s is regarding their treble and bass. Do I get the same energetic and detailed treble I get from the JH13s? Bass quantity wise how do they compare to the JHs?
I would find some time to try the JH16s out to really confirm my stance regarding bass. Didn't have the luxury of time to do so today, unfortunately.
Definitely a toss-up between the ES5 and the two JHs, though.

That's solid right? Have you tried the CAT5 'patch cable' which is stranded? That really worked better for me while the solid wires didn't really made any difference after all those braiding. What I'm using now in my home audio is just two pairs of patch cable for each speaker. I hope I have some left to test for the EM3s.
^Better pricing than UM, hmn...
real edit: and SG is 'more accessible' for me![]()
just to clarify for average_joe, the prices for Stage 93's customs are in SG dollar, and they prefer to ship within SG too, though international customers are welcome.![]()
Thanks for this bro... they already replied and said they can reshell the EM3pro...
Confirmed all prices are in SGD. I'm really tempted specially with that group reshell
