Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
Heard the Roxanne's today (universal kit). They really sounded great. First, a bit of what I am used to listening to. I started with IEMs about 10 years ago with Etymotic ER4s. They lasted for a really long time. Then I moved on to Shure 525s. They were somewhat eh. After that, I was upgraded to Shure 535s. That is what I have generally been listening to for the last few years. I generally listen to the headphones on the subway using an iPhone 4s (with some amplification on occasion) or at home on my main rig. The front end of the rig at home is a mac-mini to a Meitner MA-1 with a litany of headphone amps (unbalanced as the balanced connections go to my main preamp).
Anyway, I went to see Dr. Glick at Musician's Hearing Solutions today. I had impressions done and than got to sit in the lobby and listen to the Roxanne's while she saw other people.
The Roxannes were an immense step up from my Shure 535s in every way from the point I plugged them in to the second I took them out of my ear. The sound from the Roxanne's was unbelievably clean and clear. The separation from the Roxanne's was almost indescribable. The only time I have heard so much distinct separation is at concerts. You could hear everything in the recording (which is good and bad). I would say that these were unforgiving to a bad recording from my limited listening. That said, the treble got under my skin a bit on some songs and seemed a bit fatiguing because of this. I cannot fault the IEMs. I think it was the recording for the most part. There was just some sort of hiss (siblance?) The bass response was terrific. I found 2-3pm was perfect. It was clean and not at all boomy. It's response reminded me of a sealed sub. With these, you will never vibrate from the bass, but you will hear it clearly and cleanly. Well, those are my impressions. I am hearing a pair of Noble K10s in the next few days. I hope I don't need to order both...
How is the fit and finish?
So far very good. Still getting used to it but I'd say fit is very good esp if I dont move. When I walk I sometimes have a small click in the ear. Finish is perfect. I took them black/black with nothing on.

The click in the ear is normal, since your ear moisture\juices (hehe) build up.
Common let the person be happy will you. Not cool to say it's not worth it after somebody just spent 1200 .
On them. Hey man the wait will go fast and most likely not be 3 months. What color combo did you get ?

Wow they will look cool. I went with the CF. And not my best move in this so far. Today is judgement day I hope.
