I supposed next year they will have a new flagship Sirens model?
Don't break my heart... My Roxanne is already running towards me in my dreams...
And boy, does she look good in that CF outfit!
I don't want to hijack this trade, but just to share a thought. I actually wanted to buy the Roxanne, badly, but then I remembered the jh3a debacle, and the testimonies I read about customers who received defective products with crazy delays etc... So I bought from Noble instead, and I'm beginning to think that I did right, all things considered... I mean, COME ON!... I'm amazed to see how patient and understanding some headfiers are. When one pays a premium price, shouldn't one expect a premium customer service? I've waited only one week for my ciems to be made and shipped. One week
:rolleyes:

At the end of the day, people will make sacrifices to get the best. From first hand experiences, indications are showing that the roxanne is more complete than the K10, among other things.
At the end of the day, I think wether a product is superior or not to another is irrelevant when you have to wait an eternity for it, and when also, from first hand experiences, this product has some flaws and defaults.
I don't want to bash anyone or slander JH audio ... But I think people should begin to ask themselves if everything is normal here...
Beside, could you point out where you saw the comparison you've mentioned ?
I'm like him only mentally speaking... I do have ears, rest assured lol
Lets not forget that there are bound to be some people on the list because the Roxanne is the first (and only at the moment) CIEM available in full CF. You can buy your Nobles but if you do, you won't have a CF CIEM... If the BA and crossover of the Noble was comparable to the Roxanne and also available in full CF, I think a lot more people would listen to your argument. To be fair, for pure audio - you may have a point. You may not. I don't know... and even then, it's all down to opinion.
In short, people's reasons for buying may not be all about the audio experience. Some people will want CF bragging rights for example, or the custom box... or simply insist on having CIEMs with JH's name on them. At the moment, there's only one place you can get full CF with JH's name on... and maybe that is the driver for some people.
I just hope that mine come faultless - because if they don't, they are going back.
As an aside, I think people are passing the time by posting in this thread - that's cool, whatever makes the days go faster. We all just want our Roxannes... and rightly too!
