In case you are wondering who Jerry is: He is the co-founder and ex-CTO of Ultimate Ears. After leaving UE around mid 2007, Jerry started his own little business on custom molded airplane headset - Now, he is back to making more awesome custom IEM. His new company, Jerry Harvey Audio, just announced the JH 13 Pro, a three-ways six-receivers custom IEM, on CanJam '09, joining 4 other models that have been previously announced.
