How do these compare to the JH13 or ES5? Next year I'm going for customs but it's just very hard to know what to buy, and I really don't wanna make a mistake.

It's with a little sadness that I realize my search for audio nirvana is over. My wallet on the other hand is grateful for the well deserved rest....

Have you tried switching the cable orientation? It may be a polarity issue, as was the case with mine. For instance, if the L on the left side of the cable is facing inwards, flip the right side of the cable around, so that the R is now facing outwards.
Tried switching cable orientation for both sides one at a time. It sounded weird & spaced out both times and the original position had the most natural sound even with the channel imbalance. Apart from the fit issue in my right ear (nozzle being too long) I have realised that the left is actually is slightly loose. They lose seal when I gently push the upper part of the iem when worn. Is this normal? Could this be causing the imbalance? The right side actually sounded more fuller than the left.
I was very afraid of them not fitting due to the unconventional method of taking impressions of my audiologist... he told me to make a chewing movement for like 30seconds with just resting my jaw after for a few mins , no biteblock were used.
Just got my Miracle yesterday ... the fit is perfect ... its impossible to break the seal without removing them or using fingers while not putting to much pressure on my earcanals. The mold quality is simply perfect ... smoked blacked canals and faceplate with a green shell looks seriously amazing.
The SQ so far didnt really live up to what i expected , they pretty much sound like TF10s to me (first hearing impression) ... Source was a Clip+ rockboxed yet unEQed.
Listened to Brahms - Germany Requiem and some Rachmanioff aswell as some Interpol and Nirvana Unplugged , everything ripped in FLAC.
SQ improved when i got my E11 out with EQ on 0 and gain on high ... no clue why high gain sounds better but it does.
So far iam not impressed but also not sorry about my purchase , i will provide a more detailed SQ review and some pictures asoon as my HM602 arrives.
The HM players unfortunately may offer an interesting twist - having about 11 ohms of output impedance could potentially be extremely interesting (or devastating) with the Miracles.
Hi Samehada,
Congratulations on the fit, also on your color choice- (pics pls). So far ...You have 2 out of 3... ye it aint bad........but now give them some time till these babys open up and you will then have 3 out of 3.
