Any one has opinion on ES5 Vs Heir 8.A?
Jh13 that good? Can't wait to get mineDo you find the lower bass bump annoying at all? I would have traded the lower bass bump for a bit more lower mid bass but then it is gonna sound too close to JH16.
Even still, JH13 is the most insanely transparent, quick and detailed IEM I have ever stuck in my ears. Almost too much if that is possible. Like they are adding detail to the music that wasn't originally there. LOL...
Highs are emphasized like a snake's tail? I'd say that's the last part of the FR that is emphasized on an ES5, lol.
JH13 is balanced, detailed, transparent. Extension on both ends are better than ES5. Especially the highs, es5's high are emphasized but not extended to my ears, it's like a tale of a poisonous snake, that is like the least favorite thing about my es5. Hopefully they will improve after this reshell.
A poisonous snake, which means =====---- < like that.
If you think the ES5's high is not emphasized, you must have been too used to these, all my friends who got the es5 feel that the highs stands out the most, good or bad.
Did you guys all go to the same audiologist for impressions? Your impression is definitely in the minority here confirmed by the few measurements we've seen. No way is a JH13 less treble emphasized than an ES5. I've even talked to the design engineer who made the ES5 specifically in regards to the JH13 signature. The JH13 is even brighter than the UERM and the UERM is brighter than the ES5. Your fit is bad or the phones are broken or Westone changed the signature without telling anyone. Let me ask around to confirm something just in case.
You should see my sig and profile to see what phones I have or used in the past. Though I stopped updating it about a year ago.
