I’ve been interested in getting a pair of JH13…. But due to some reasons (unusual ear canals shape and fear of improper fit) I was thinking if anyone know if JH sells JH13 in universal fit shell…

I’m aware that a few people have auditioned JH13 in a universal fit and I’d like to ask those who have auditioned this, what shape were the shells? Were they like W3/UM3x/Shure530 or more like triple.fi 10pro?.

What would be the main disadvantage of JH13 in universal fit?. I would assume slightly worse sound quality, as for isolation I found W3/UM3x provide almost as good isolation when I had impressions done....
Would the sound quality degrade so much such that it is pointless to make JH13 for universal fit?...

If JH audio can somehow cram 6 drivers in W3/UM3x shell I’d be really really tempted….

The demo, or universal fit, JH13 is in an acrylic custom shell, with silicone eartips. There is no way for them to fit 6 transducers to the 3 transducers housing of the W3/UM3X even if they try.

The universal fit for demo purpose...these has 6 drivers on each side?...what shape were they in?...

pictures of JH demo units

the pictures of the universal demos at Jaben... the JH13 demo sound pretty bright and are kinda lacking in bass a bit, those who have heard it and own the customs said that thats not the case with the final custom.

Thanks a lot for the link.

The silicone tips (hard-ish type I assumed) that were on the JH13 demo were like one of the tips for IE8. When I used this tips on my IE8 I couldn't get proper seal hence lack of bass....

I'm assuming that the tips can be changed with the ones from IE8 or Westone/Shure....

None of us would know whether JHaudio is gonna go for universals. They might, in future, but god knows what the shape of the shell would be like for JH13pro. And of course the sound difference, that's a question mark. Maybe you can ask those who have TF10pro and UE10pro for reference...

Though I'm just repeating what I've heard, I've been told Jerry was asked if he would make a universal, and the answer, at least for now, is no.

Awwww...that just sucks balls!

... thanks a lot for the heads up tho...... I guess my email to them will be ignored... I'm sure there is a market for universal fit JH13 if they decide to make them available.

Can't they do one in the demo style for you? Try writing/calling them to ask. Technically, its a custom as its made for you...isn't it? Haha!

lol. mate, i hope pool start wakin' up soon. shrugs. this season has been disastrous so far.

Considering it will still cost you 1099 bucks to get it I would prob go for the customized edition since you will take a major hit not have that seal that you get when it is sculpted to your ear.
