Sometimes you just got to listen to that little shoulder devil and go extra-big treating yourself to the very best. For such rare, wonderfully demanding listeners, Jerry Harvey Audio has realized your wildest audiophile dreams. Compared to the already incredible JH Audio 13PRO model, the 16PRO engineering further ups the audio driver ante to 8 per side (yep, that's 16 precise, individually tuned drivers, folks) and increases the sonic punch and low-end impact while maintaining the same level of musical detail resolution at all frequencies. For music fiends wanting the in-ear version of the most fully extended, authoritative sound in the headphone world, the 16PRO offers you a lifetime of in-ear reference listening bliss. We consider the JH Audio 16PRO as delivering a slightly 'warmer', richer tonal palette versus the more neutral, analytically accurate presentation heard in the equally-excellent JH Audio 13PRO. In recording studio terminology, the 13PRO would be your 'near-field' speakers for maximum resolution power; the 16PRO would represent the large room monitors pumping out huge life-like sound. Both models inhabit the very pinnacle of advanced in-ear audio design achieved by Jerry and his team. And the fully customized audiologist-molded fit also ensures the best comfort and an easy wearing experience even during the longest of listening sessions or while on those endless transcontinental flights. So if you've got the dough, here's where big joy can be found for oft-traveling audiophiles and critical personal listening mavens needing absolutely the best sound anywhere they find themselves.
Jerry Harvey's highly advanced, 100% proprietary / patented precision balanced triple-bore armatures in the JH 16PRO contain two sets [four in all] of tuned dual low drivers, dual midrange drivers, and dual high drivers/micro-speakers with integrated, patented 3-way crossover arrays that are not only completely seamless but beautifully transparent too. Expect a dead accurate response of 10 Hz in the lowest lows to 20kHz in the uppermost highs and around minus -26dB of ambient noise-blocking ['isolation'] ability. The JH 16PRO are amongst the most power-hungry models in the entire JHA line at 18 Ohms impedance (ideal design for lowest possible background noise floor levels) so they'll hugely benefit from dedicated amplification to fully maximize their intense musical performance capabilities. We suggest partnering your customized JH 16PRO earphones with a HeadRoom Portable Micro Amp or HeadRoom Portable Desktop Amp and your lossless or uncompressed music source for the most satisfying in-ear listening experience possible today. Serious music lovers and the most demanding critical listener will NOT be disappointed with the JH 16PRO custom earphones.

DESIGN:

SOUND and FIT:
What more could u ask for a perfect fit that provides a -26DB sound isolation and can wear for hours on end with no discomfort. At first if you are not used to having it deep in your ears it may take some getting used to as do all in ear headphones. By far out of any headphone i have ever tried, Monster, Shure, Bose, weston, JH AUDIO destroys the competition when it comes to Headphones in general. You are talking about per IEM 8 speakers Double dual low, single dual mid, single dual high for a total of 8 armatures per ear for a sweet 16. Allowing even more headroom then the JH13. A word of advice the JH16 with the double dual low does have more of a low end kick. The JH13 are by far Jerry most balanced headphone ever made. But if you like the extra low end response the JH16 is the way to go. Allowing even more headroom and virtually NO distortion at all. Crisp highs with a sweet tone of warm mediums all blend with the double dual lows with a triple bored system for each set having its own bore system for accurate response. True 118DB bumb at 1mw, and 10hz-20khz. These are truly an amazing product worth every penny. You will hear low ends that you have never heard before that high note that you never knew was there thanks to the built in Integrated 3 way cross over that is in the JH16 and JH13 for even more accurate sound reproduction. If I could Give the whole world money to buy these headphones i would. This is truly and investment and not for the average user. Get your hearing checked and make sure it is worth the invest and that you have the hearing response that is needed to truly enjoy what the JH 16 have to offer.
I hope this review was helpful for those who read this.
