JHAudio may not be familiar to a lot of readers, but it will be soon. The company was formed by the founder of Ultimate Ears, Jerry Harvey.
[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]Harvey has a number of new products on the market, including seven models of in-ear monitors to serve the pro audio industry. Harvey’s in-ear monitors aren’t just for the pro market, but rather anyone that wants quality sound, whether you’re mixing or listening to an iPod.
The JH5 Pro is the starting point for Harvey’s monitors and cost $399. These are designed for the consumer that’s looking for a quality in-ear monitor for listening to music on their iPod, iPhone or iPad.
On the high-end, the JH16 Pro costs $1,149 and offers a frequency response of 10Hz to 20kHz.
You can find out more information on all of JHAudio’s products on their Web site.
I can wholeheartedly recommend his in-ear monitors.
While I don’t own a pair of them myself — having listened to many IEMs, I’m still in love with my Westone UM2, thank you very much — I’ve had the chance to test the JH10pro, JH11pro and JH13pro extensively.
I was sent these IEMs by Mr. Harvey for an IEM-meet of the German hifi-forum.de
They were in every way superior to their equivalent models by Ultimate Ears, if I may say so. The only other IEMs that played on the same level as Jerry Harvey’s products, were those by the German company Compact Monitors.
These things are pricey, but the sound quality is well worth it, if you’re a music lover.
