Good to hear from someone that uses the JH16’s.
Regarding the muddy mix, I play in a large band with vocals, bass, keys, drums, congas, sax, trombone, and at times drums samples like 808’s. By far the most challenging aspect is getting the keys and bass to work where I can really hear both clearly. Sometimes my guitar solos sound a little too buried as well. And all my tones have strong mids. I don’t have much of the drums in my mix, I get plenty of bleed through my vocal mic. Sometimes I’ll add a little kick. As for EQ, I set a HPF at around 80Hz and also cut a little at 100 and 240. The instruments are also EQ’d a bit individually. Nothing major, mostly subtractive EQ to avoid masking. in the stereo spread, the only thing that’s hard panned is my guitar. The bass and vocals are centered, kick just slightly off center, keys at 10 o’clock, horns 2 o’clock, percussion 3 o’clock. Would love to hear any feedback about how others might go about this. My thinking was that it might just be too much in the sonic spectrum for two driver IEM. Maybe I’m just missing something...
