Voltron Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 The interview with Jerry was pretty cool though
The Monkey Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 Agree. I thought the interviewer was surprisingly knowledgeable and Jerry did a great job of explaining the earpiece and its audiophile appeal without dumbing it down or being condescending. Jerry is pretty cool.
Spychedelic Whale Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 Jerry seemed shy but he did well and.. he has some cool ink
Hopstretch Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 Gents, hypothetically, were you buying today -- 13s or 16s?
GPH Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 Based on Jude's review of the JH16, I'd recommend the JH13 all the way, but I'm not familiar with his tastes and I don't know if his reviews are to be trusted.
elnero Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 Based on listening to the demo's at this very moment I don't think I'd want more bass than the 13's.
The Monkey Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 'Stretch, would there be an amp in this scenario? Hypothetically, that is.
HeadphoneAddict Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 Well, I think if Jude is correct that the extra bass in the JH16Pro doesn't intrude on the mids or seem boomy, that I might prefer the JH16Pro. Eventually I'll have to try them for myself.
blessingx Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 Gents, hypothetically, were you buying today -- 13s or 16s? It aligns with other feedback, but I asked @JHAudio last week on Twitter which they recommended for "audiophile listening" and they responded JH13s.
dreamwhisper Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 It aligns with other feedback, but I asked @JHAudio last week on Twitter which they recommended for "audiophile listening" and they responded JH13s. audio... file? ?? Both. Dew et. Seriously--JH16. better listen to him, he has a gun,
elnero Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 For those that have heard the demo's and then went on to buy the 13's or for those fortunate enough to hear them side by side how does the bass compare between the two, do the demo's have more, less or about the same?
GPH Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 I'm not 100% sure, but I think the demo had about the same bass quantity as the customs, but as I already said I had a hard time achieving a good fit. The bass quality is way better on my customs though; the texture, especially in the lowest registers, is damn impressive. If I had to complain about some things on the JH13, the bass certainly wouldn't be one of them.

This could very well be true, but I almost feel like they kind of have to say that regardless, or risk having a bunch of upset JH13 owners.

The universals give a pretty solid idea of the final performance. What the universals don't do, imo, is recreate the sense of absolute immersion that the customs achieve.

By the way, I fiddled with the tips and insertion technique a bit more last night after we talked and I managed to lose that bit of harshness in the treble I was hearing initially, now it's just smooth and detailed, absolutely gorgeous. My wallet is really going to hurt after finally getting to hear these.

My wallet is really going to hurt after finally getting to hear these. That is pretty much exactly the difference I could remember between the two times I heard the universals. First time was harsh and bright, second time though was just lovely.

First time was harsh and bright, second time though was just lovely. From what I can figure I had the foamie pushed back a bit too far and I don't think I was getting the best seal even though the bass seemed pretty good. My second attempt I didn't push the foam back before inserting them, just rolled it in my fingers a bit to compress it but all I got was muffled jumble. Third time I pushed them back a bit but not right to the tip, then rolled them a bit to compress them, that's seemed to do the trick.
