“Comparing the IE 800 with one of my custom-molded in-ear references, JH Audio’s $1,099 JH13 FreqPhase, was interesting. First, the IE 800 was more open and relaxed, but the JH13 was more detailed, faster, and more dynamically alive”
“Having faster transients, the instrument separation is very good. At first I thought LCD-3 has better instrument separation because of the more laid back sound and better instrument extension. However LCD-X betters the 3 here because the instruments are better contoured and their position are easier to pick because of this”
