JH13 is more nuetral than the UM3X but you're using an amp so you probably won't notice it. For example the UM3X may make the bass sound punchy on a song that the JH13 would instead make sound more subdued but deeper and more textured. This is because the UM3X has a mid bass hump and the sound signature just isn't as nuetral as the JH13. With the JH13 you just hear whatever you play, there's no coloring. Of course an amp might change that.

I think natural is the one word I find suits them the best. sure in so far as soundstage they fall short a touch, but the rest of their attributes is for me more than enough to make up for it. besides with iroiver->D10->amp of choice. i'm in heaven and JH13 have got some shoes to fill. though from all reprts that shouldnt be much trouble. JH13 are oirdered, so they'll be dethroned, but for universals they will definitely be my go-to IEM. and i've stopped reading other threads they are that good. |
