Neither do I like over the ear design but they won't do that bro.lol I will visit Sony in Japan and demand them to create one that is not over the ear type. I'm sure they will.

Have to agree. Don't like emphasize... exaggerated..., etc..

Funny enough while very simple in structure and no fancy materials used, after living for an extended period with my JustEar (together with everything in my sig and something not even mentioned there) I found my JustEars to be the cleanest sounding and, in a way, the most accurate iem I've got, and in some ways remind me of the Etymotic family of iems despite the obvious advantage of having the DD bass. Matsuo-san's tuning is really fairly subtle - while he may bring up/down something in the frequency curve according to the different model's profile or according to your request, that is done in a very delicate manner in that it would not really overemphasis anything and would not distort the basic house sound. The overall balance is still there, kinda flat kind of response that some may dislike but it is only this kind of response that would reproduce every sound right. It has quickly becoming my most-reached pair of iems since I have got mine.

New collaboration model XJE-MH/nZk tuned with the multi-talented composer/arranger/lyrics writer/pianist Sawano Hiroyuki.
I am very interested to get the MH1 in near future after all this pandemic is over. I love vocal detail and highs detail.
my question is, being this ciem is around 6 years. Is this still very relevant and able to match current gen TOTL?
If you know exactly what sound preference you want and cannot find that sound in another earphone, then the MH1 will always remain relevant.
Because in the end it isn't about specs, it's about getting the sound tuning in EXACTLY - not near to where you still need to tweak it with EQ or cables - but EXACTLY the way you want it. Even if a TOTL phone has the best specs on paper but the tuning is not to your preference, it is essentially worthless.
Thants very true. To me my only issue was during my trip to HK, I did manage to demo the MH2 lisening but did find that the detail/resolution was bit on the lacking side. But it is in a much noisier place and was a relative quick test.
The Listening model has details dialled way back because as the naming implies, it is essentially an "easy listening" model for people to enjoy music rather than analyse music.
If you want detail and resolution you should try the Monitor model, it shows the drivers in the Just ear is capable of extracting a lot of detail.
My own pair of MH1 actually sits between the two models while leaning towards Listening when it comes to clarity and treble sparkle because I want some details, but not to the point of it putting a microscope on every mixing flaw in the music I listen to, that's why the full customisation of the MH1 is simply unbeatable despite what the spec on paper says.
