Les_Garten Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 I kind of want a Jolly Rancher now. Don't tell me.... You have a Hankerin' for GRAPE!
Dusty Chalk Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Uh...no. That feeling started several posts ago. I'm actually thinking watermelon (unsalted) or green apple.
recstar24 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 They have arrived! Pretty good fit. I downloaded the sensaphonics bass seal test and it seems ok. I also have some other bass frequency tracks and they sounded fine. Nothing crazy when I move my head, but when I open my jaw really large, I hear a pop in my right ear, which might be more attributed to a very slight case of TMJ then seal or fit. Isolation is great and the music is rocking so far.
Iron_Dreamer Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 They have arrived! Prepare to have a large portion of your time consumed every instance you put them on. Addictive isn't even the word for it.
manaox2 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Sadness. Guess I'll have to stick with neon green on one side and pink on the other if I ever get them.
recstar24 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Man the midrange richness is freaking ridiculous. Really nice seal and very comfortable, I am glad I got my impressions from Jerry's guy at CanJam rather than some random person in Chicago (though I am sure Sensaphonics would have done a similar good job with impressions, though they charge a lot extra if you don't go with their IEM's). I am surprised that the universal demos weren't too far off in terms of sound signature for me. Very clear, focused, detailed sound, nice full bodied sound through the mids and the bass is right where I like it to be (the 16 demo's bass was just a tad distracting).
veloaudio Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Nice Colin. Anyone have a caliper and JH13's handy? I need the diameter of the base of the plug (circle of plastic). Best I can get with a ruler is ~8mm.

bhjazz Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Grab a piece of thread, wrap it around, mark it with a pen. Then measure the marks. After unwrapping, of course.
recstar24 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 I am going to play with them a little more but My right side might need some slight fit adjustment. When turning my head extreme left or right the right ear opens up a bit without losing a seal. Jaw movements seem to do the same with the same kind of popping/squelching that elnero reported as well. I've got some major commuting next week and then will probably hit up adam about fit stuff.

I've got some major commuting next week and then will probably hit up adam about fit stuff. lmk what they say. with some facial movements i can also slightly pop out the right side, slightly reducing bass and reducing high frequency isolation. it's pretty minor. i think the tip just needs to be dipped to increase the thickness slightly
recstar24 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Sounds good Justin. I would say it's minor as well but enough for me to at least propose a fit adjustment.
jinp6301 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 If you guys dont want the hassle of sending it back and forth, clear nail polish should do the same thing
dallan Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 I asked them if i could do a minor adjustment, my dad is a dentist and has polishing and diamond drills ext and i thought i needed a minor one-they said it would void the warranty on the earphones so be careful. I ended up sending mine back and they are better but I still have a slight issue on both sides though i do have a seal and no pain. Many say that you should barely even perceive them being there and if you notice them there is a fit problem. I more than just notice them but the sound is great.

I think if you're not used to an IEM that inserts that deeply it's going to take some time to adjust regardless of how good the fit is. At first my left ear had a very full feeling, no discomfort or anything but I was very aware of it being in my ear. I noticed just before I sent them in that they were starting to disappear much more so than when I first got them.
adktitan Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 i think the tip just needs to be dipped to increase the thickness slightly That’s what she said.... Also after sending them back twice for refit's for the same exact symptoms as elnero and justin (right side) and they still didn't fit quite right, Brit told me to re-shoot my right impression and send it back with the monitors. So I did, and now am waiting to receive them again, hopefully the third and final time is the charm. I thought I had a perfect fit at first, then I gradually began to become aware of fit issues while walking, etc.
blessingx Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 F*%k it. Just ordered the JH13 too for DSP-free listening. Time to dismantle the K1K rig.
Sherwood Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 F*%k it. Just ordered the JH13 too for DSP-free listening. Yay! Time to dismantle the K1K rig. Oh Noes!
Voltron Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 F*%k it. Just ordered the JH13 too for DSP-free listening. Time to dismantle the K1K rig. Rock star fucking move, Ric! You can be our tester/comparator between them. That is very cool.
Iron_Dreamer Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 F*%k it. Just ordered the JH13 too for DSP-free listening. Wow, you're down for the count on that one! It'll be interesting to see how they compare for you.
