Iron_Dreamer Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 looks great. you're making me want mine even more Does this help? I certainly feel your pain. Just be glad you were waiting a matter of days, not months like those of us early adopters. They are worth just about any reasonable waiting period I can imagine, FWIW. Quote
ojnihs Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Damn you Peter, damn you! I do agree that it is nice that I only have to wait till Monday, but damn, I want them. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Are they really blurple (my favorite color)? Oooh... Quote
knopi Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 I decided between three colours black, carolina blue, clear. I took translucent black. Quote
The Monkey Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 I like the translucent black. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 So when are you getting yourself a pair, Dinny? Quote
Hopstretch Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Nooo Dinny, principled holdouts 'r us. Quote
The Monkey Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Oh, no worries, these things obviously suck. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Oh, no worries, these things obviously suck. Yes, and remember the following cons as well. * Takes time to get ahold of. Since you first have to get ear impressions at a local audiologist and ship these impressions to JH Audio in the US. First then they can starting making and in turn shipping it your way. You can not just drop by a local store and pick them up. * Low resale value. Since they are custom mold to your ears and will most certainly not fit anyone else ears. Someone way be able to refit them, but the selling value will be low. * Possible fitting issues. Some complain about improper fit. Hence they need to be shipped back to JH Audio for adjustments, then hope for a proper fit the second (third, ..) time. * Smaller sound/head stage. Its sound/head stage is not quite on par with some of those full size headphones. Quote
manaox2 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 These also are not going to last as long as something like staxes and are not going to be repairable if something other then the cable breaks. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 These also are not going to last as long as something like staxes and are not going to be repairable if something other then the cable breaks. Just FYI, my post was tongue-in-cheek comment from a post in HF. Quote
jp11801 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 These also are not going to last as long as something like staxes and are not going to be repairable if something other then the cable breaks. actually they are very repairable Quote
manaox2 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 Just saw the thread on head-fi. actually they are very repairable Oh yeah, I was thinking of DIY repair. I'm sure JH Audio could remove an the offiending armature and remold them. Quote
nattonrice Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 I'm curious where he heard the universal demo? Was there a HF meet over there or something? Quote
boomana Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 I'm curious where he heard the universal demo? Was there a HF meet over there or something? I was wondering that as well. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Link please -- where does he say that he has? My guess is, he hasn't. Quote
Augsburger Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 RMAF? All those web zine guys were lurking around there. Quote

Lil' Knight Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 I'm curious where he heard the universal demo? Was there a HF meet over there or something? If I don't mistaken, he heard the demo in the Denmark meet. Quote
Sherwood Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 This MrGreen really gets under my skin. I try my best not to use HC as a place to gripe about HF, but I do hope to ruin this guy. Quote
manaox2 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 This MrGreen really gets under my skin. I try my best not to use HC as a place to gripe about HF, but I do hope to ruin this guy. I was right after you there. I don't know why I bother, really I don't. Quote
Sherwood Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 He's bugged me for a month. I tolerate most folks, because I know that if I met them I would like them. I don't think I would like MrGreen. Quote
rlanger Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 This MrGreen really gets under my skin. I try my best not to use HC as a place to gripe about HF, but I do hope to ruin this guy. Yeah, not quite sure what his motives are. And he`s not just annoying in this thread either. It`s virtually every thread he`s in. Quote
The Monkey Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Would the JH13 work with the Smyth Realiser? Quote
