    Introducing Lotoo PAW Gold

    I don't have the JHA Roxanne II. I do have a CIEM Roxanne I with Black Dragon TRRS that I use to pair with the HM901S Balanced Card. IMO: a 'warm' HM901S with a 'warm' Roxanne is fantastic sounding but left me wanting a bit more for the bite of trumpets, cymbals, high piano notes, etc. Again...

    HM-901

    So... I'm seriously considering buying a SanDisk 512GB sdxc card that has been recently released and using in my 901. Anyone tried this card yet in a 901 and what do you think? Recommended or no?

    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    Your comments are very insightful! I also own and listen to an HM-901/Pure II combo with my carbon fiber custom Roxannes. I ordered my Roxannes in October 2013. It took 4 months for JH Audio to deliver them, then 8 1/2 months for the multiple refits to seal properly and for there to be no pain...

    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    Eternal Phoenix is correct in his assessment of my post in that I was really comparing the UF Roxannes to the CF Roxannes. In any event, I think I should have said higher value end headphones - I listen to and own the following (in no particular order): Denon AH-D2000, AKG 702 Annie's, Fostex...

    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    I have both the Roxanne UF and the carbon fiber CIEMs. IMO while the sound quality from the UF is 9.8 on a scale of 1 to 10, with the UF I always know I'm wearing 'earphones'. In addition, I haven't found any tips for the UF that don't begin to make my ears itch after an hour or two. The SQ is...

    I also use the vorz pure II with my 901 and find it to be an extraordinary match. With the amp card removed from my 901 I get approximately 8-10 hours of battery life vs the 4-6 hours I was getting with an amp card installed. The pure II lasts about 10 hours as well so I just charge both at the...

    HM-901

    So you're saying the 901 even beats the RWAK240 in sound quality? How about the synergy with your Roxanne CIEMs? Do you prefer the 901 over the RWAK240 with your Roxannes? If so, when do you decide to use your RWAK240 instead of your 901? Just curious if it's worth it to you to own both the 901...

    I don't think they've invented the sarcasm font yet. Or have they? lol. Btw, have you received your refitted custom Roxannes yet? I'm really interested in how synergistic they might be with your RWAK240 vs. the HM-901. Cheers!

    Hmm... Thanks! My wallet will be very happy, unless the Roxanne's are a wonderful synergy with the RWAK240. However, I sure do find the UI of the 901 old and very cumbersome. I wonder how Fang will eventually address this since the competition is years ahead IMO.

    Thank you much for your insights! My Roxanne's are just a bit dark and with the dual bass pots dialed beyond 9am even more so. Me thinks that the RWAK240 with its speed, clarity, and very small tilt toward treble could be a match made in heaven for the Roxanne's. Because the RWAK240 is so...

    While I'd love to help you with your dilemma, can you help a brother out with his? I own an HM-901 and am using it 95% of the time with Roxanne's. Sound quality is by far the most important attribute to me. However, I am very interested in the RWAK240 because of its fantastic UI and overall...

    Thanks for asking! Yes. I do own the IEM card and used it for 6 months. The balanced card is volume detent 1.7 or 1.5 with my iem's. The IEM card is 2.3 or 2.5. For my listening taste both cards are either too loud or too soft though the IEM card does offer greater volume adjustability. Thus, my...

    I listen to my HM-901 with Roxannes (both UIEMs and CIEMs), RE-400s, and SE530s. I also listen with TH-600s, PM-1s, and Alpha Dogs. I own the balanced, iem, and newer standard cards. Unfortunately, I have been very frustrated with the 901's lack of sufficient volume control. IMO, I find the 901...

    MrSpeakers Alpha Dog Revealed! - The World's First Production 3D-Printed Headphones

    The ADs are also just as "fun" but not in the same way as the TH600s IMO. The TH600s are a bit more fun with Eminem, Nelly, Black Eyed Peas, etc. The ADs are more fun with Lourde, Adele, Jason Mraz, Take 6, etc. IMO both are great, high quality cans. It just depends on what I'm listening to as...
