THE JERRY HARVEY SAGA OF SOUND
How it all went down.

Years ago, JHAudio founder, Jerry Harvey, was touring with the band Van Halen as a monitor engineer. In-ear monitor technology was still in its infancy, so when drummer Alex Van Halen considered giving it a shot, Jerry began to investigate. After trying (and quickly discarding) the available in-ear options, Jerry funneled his experience with large arena sound systems and engineered the first 2-way, custom-fit earpieces.

Van Halen couldn’t have been happier with the result, and word quickly spread to other artists and engineers. Before long, Harvey founded his own company, designing and manufacturing in-ear monitors for musicians and audiophiles alike. By focusing on cutting-edge design and exceptional audio quality, his IEMs quickly became the industry standard in reference earphones.

Next, Jerry set his sights on the skies — and that’s where his new company, JH Audio, got its start. A pilot since 2003, Jerry rocked the wild blue yonder with his groundbreaking custom earpieces. His designs fit snugly, offering effective, comfortable ear protection, clearer in-flight communication and unparalleled sound — because no pilot should have to be airborne without his favorite jams.

Next came his new endeavor in IEMs: The JHAudio Pro Series — a collection that left the world of audio without excuse, providing a direct hookup to incredible, unadulterated sound as it had never been experienced before.

So the Jerry Harvey saga of sound continues. And who knows what he’ll throw at us next. But whatever it is, there’s one thing we know for sure: It’s going to blow you away.

Are the JHs still the latest and greatest? What with Fitear and SpiralEars and UM and Westone and etc.

The original JH13s were my first (and only) customs. If I didn't work in an environment where people were always trying to talk to me, my musical journey probably would have ended there and not led me back to universals. Such an amazing enveloping sound with a great soundstage and always sounding so balanced...

Dunno, didn't try their demo set.
But the real thing is amazing.
Excellent value for $1199.
Only the Fitear can match Miracle's treble and soundstage performance.

Heard from another miracle user that the demo was not even 50% of his actual one

There u have it then.

Miracle is a very acquired taste.
The mids is crystal clear and uncoloured.
Still, can't understand y people say Miracle got recessed mids.
Crystal clear and uncoloured doesn't means it's recessed.
