Which has the Best Sound Quality?
First off, I know that trying to compare full-sized headphones to IEM's is futile. Furthermore, the technology behind both companies reference products couldn't be any more different. Sennheiser's HD800 is an "open-backed dynamic" headphone whereas the JH-13 Pro consists of 6 individual "armature" drivers. How much more vastly different can these two products be? So why did I start this poll? Because they both represent the best-of-the-best in headphone/IEM technology at the time and the accolades for each product are well known by now. As vastly different as these products are, I am sure that those people who have both, or have auditioned both extensively, have a preference as to which of these two choices has the best sound quality. Lastly, I am aware of the pitfalls of these polls; for instance, many people will vote for one or the other just because they have one or the other. Also, because the JH-13 Pro is a custom IEM, it stands to reason that only those with this IEM should vote on this poll. If you don't own the JH-13 Pro, there is no way to make any reasonable comparisons here. Lastly, if you do vote on this poll, please explain to us all why you made the choice that you did. We all want to learn from each other on this forum.
Please do NOT vote unless you have had extensive use of both.
