gorgeous！Is 1 plus 2 better than JH13？
can you compare freshly baked bread and charcaol grilled prawns? both are food... wonder if this approach would be applied to food what we would be eating then? as much as i like prawns i would not consider them for my daily ration, while bread is something you eat almost daily.
that's said i never could care less if 1+2 or JH13 better, what i care is musicality and listen joy, if both sound great i could live happily with both.
also check high-end reviews, do you find many professional reviews which start telling you this bests that and that bests both that? except shootout reviews this is not common standard to base one's experience on the assumption who or what bests what :-D
i love 1+2 but i can happily listen to H200 with some warm acoustic material or to RDB+ V1 with small chamber and vocals. every of them has strong and weak points but none of them can beat 1+2 for dynamic and analogue like sound. for me 1+2 was like inserting high-end speakers into my ears, amazing how small earpieces can create air moving impact which only loudspeakers can emulate.
besides preferences are all subjective. sonics are important as is fit issue, some people liked H200 sound but could not find comfortable seal with them. on the other hand Klipsch x10 is perhaps the most comfortable IEM but i would not choose it for sonics. there are many trade offs you need to consider when choosing gear.
in my case i am casual listener using IEMs while taking some rest or using computer, i do not listen while excercising or walking, so for me seal and comfort are less damanding ... but for people who use IEMs while being active the comfort and fit issue will outweight some minor sonic differences.
