Hello Head.fi!!   Long time lurker, first time coming out of the shadows to post. :)  Maybe just a brief intro?  My name is Trevor, been into audio for a while, but its time to make that jump: Custom IEMs.  I am now playing out enough that I am/can justify the cost of custom in ears...

So I'm really considering the jump from Westone 3 to at least using the UM56 with them, if not jumping ship to the ES3X or the UE 7 or UE10. However, seeing as how head-fi has such a diverse community of audiophiles, I'd like to ask: In your opinion, what company produces the best Custom...

In the midst of all the Kickstarter madness, JH reflections and so on, I thought one flagship IEM has been a bit neglected. The Legend R. Competitive prices aside (I try not to consider price, since that doesn't quite help to keep upgraditis at bay), I think this is one of the best sounding...

So I've had my jh11s for a while now and I've been more than happy with them, though I've been out and about more often than before and would like a bit of an improved portable setup. At home I have a simple fiio e7/e9 combo which I use with either my hd600s or the jh11s and it works fine, and...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the world of professional audio and would love for someone to clear this up.   I'm on the fence about a few different JH IEMs.  They will be for live performance and casual listening through my iphone 5 / Ipad without an amplifier.  I've read that the 10x3s will...

Hello all,   I have 5 year old TF 10 remolds from Unique Melody, and I still love them. Only problem is, after 5 years old, i have to use putty to keep the connectors in as the holes have gotten loose. This has been an OK solution, but it seems like it might be time to move on from them soon...

Guys, I just ordered my JH11 pro today. I was going to play music from my iphone 5 with spotify, but I appreciate that I wont get the best out of my JH11 pros. Im looking for and mp3 player with built in amp for about £160 ($250) to start using flac files or at least 320 kbps. Any suggestions...

Hi In your opinion what is the best portable amp in the world for JH 11 pro. Maybe something with strong bass but do not comprimise the mids and trebles also.   Thanks Matthew

I want to purchase my first pair of customs, preferably quad-driver ones. The UE11, JH11 and UM Mage seem to be the obvious choices, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to choose... The UM Mage seems to have (reputably) the best build quality, and it's also the least expensive of the...

Hi there   I was planning to get the westone ES5. however I live in the UK, so I will have to pay 65% extra to get it. Therefore, i started to look for other custom earphones @ about $800.   Many people suggested that JH11pro is a very good CM at it price range. i would like to know how...

Hi all.     First of all, I would like to make clear that I am not familiar with any amps or DACs or anything. I purchased my JH11 IEMs about 1.5 years ago, and am currently wondering whether there are any amps that would suit the JH11 for portable use (or even home use), but I prefer...

how does it compares to UE11 which is 300 bucks more than JH11.   On the website, JHAudio says that JH11 pro are the real ones.XD

I've stuck with my trusty Audio-GD NFB-12 for almost 2 years. It's outlasted a Schiit Bifrost and Schiit Asgard. I like its sound and price such that I sold the Schiit stack and kept the NFB-12 for primary use. I currently am using Fostex T50-RP and I'm very happy with them for the minimal...

Hi guys, I'm looking for some new iem's but was wondering if these: http://www.minerva-hearingprotection.co.uk/mi-1-custom-headphones.html are worth the price tag or if universal iem's (such as the ue triple fi) would sound noticeably better? The problem is I need to be able to wear these for a...

Hello,   Several years ago I bought a pair of Shure SE420's. While I'm pretty ok with them (lacking some bass imo) I'm considering replacing them with some higher end IEM's. The Westone 4's currently have most of my attention.   But I wonder: is the difference in sound clearly...

As the topic says,   i have been hunting around for a Custom for quite sometime to replace my Superfi EBs...   but i'm having a hard time in finding the correct replacement(upgrade)...   Could anyone point me in the right direction?   As i really love my EBs, the sub bass rumble...

ok im kinda new at this and I'm looking for a good IEM for drumming, I'm looking at the 11Pro's and the Quads and haven't found anything good really as far as comparisons go. So with price not being an issue which ones would best suit me? Im a big fan of the low end but don't want to sacrifice...

My portable source is a MacBookAir 11inch 2011 playing ALAC via Decibel. My portable headphones are Earsonics SM3. I listen most to Rock, Hardrock, Progressive, Pop, HipHop and Jazz (relevance descending order)   What should I put between the source and the headphones to improve sq and...

It seem to me that both are equally tempting.   Should i get the Reshell TF10 or JH5? I quite enjoy the TF10 but I heard wonders about the JH5... So was just thinking which is a better one?

This is not a sarcastic question. Not at all. I am really curious. One less mid and one less high driver than the JH 13 Pro. 18 ohm instead of 28 ohm. Also 3 khz less at the top end - 17 khz versus 20 khz. (This is not necessarily a bad thing. I believe that the UE Triple-Fi's roll off at 17 khz...

I have narrowed down my collection to my Westone 3s, which I have determined have the right amount of bass for my music (rap, dance, rock) and tastes (exciting but capable of being laid back). I am looking to customs now, but need some with similar bass. I would like to stick with JH Audio or...

i need Extremely Fast and Tight and Articulate bass very good Transparency the sound is full of feeling of layers Detailed and articulate, hints at emotional intensity in Midrange nice Dynamics most time i like Electro pop 。Trance and chill out 、dance Club Techno House rap...

This is my first review on Head-fi and till this day I do not possess the audio vocabulary that many others on this forum have and for that very reason, I will try to keep in simple here. This was at that point in time and still remains, my only foray into the higher-end universal IEM category...
