    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    So I finally found the time to photograph my Roxannes... as I said before, I changed from CF to clear acrylic + CF, which got me a faster delivery and the visual benefits of an awesome looking shell and being able to see the drivers in all their glory. Here we are!

    JH Audio Sirens Series Roxanne Impressions Thread

    I ordered CF on Black Friday, which was taking forever, then changed a couple of weeks ago to acrylic to speed things up.

    JH Audio Sirens Series Roxanne Impressions Thread

    Cross post from the other thread: My Roxannes finally arrived today! So excited, to be honest I'm glad I went with the acrylic w/ CF faceplate in the end - I get the benefit of functionally identical aesthetics and I get to see all the effort's that gone into cramming those drivers in.  ...

    My Roxannes finally arrived today! So excited, to be honest I'm glad I went with the acrylic w/ CF faceplate in the end - I get the benefit of functionally identical aesthetics and I get to see all the effort's that gone into cramming those drivers in.   First impressions: these things are...

    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    I finally gave in. I ordered CF on Black Friday, and after enquiring about my order learned that I could either go acrylic and have it in a couple of weeks, or stay with CF and wait for "months". I guess I don't mind too much, I think acrylic will be better for showing off the driver layout, but...

    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    I'm not sure why everyone is so obsessed with the idea of sound stage in IEMs of all things. If you're worried about that, don't spend silly amounts of money trying to achieve greater sound stage through different headphones, especially IEMs where driver placement will be virtually identical...

    From what I can tell (and this is the only thing that would make sense to me), the bass control is just a potentiometer in series with the bass driver. It shouldn't affect the signal to the other drivers, and contrary to what some people have said, it can only attenuate the bass, not increase...

    Westone Introduces the ES60 - 6BA Custom In Ear

      Ah, I see you're new here - welcome to head-fi! When Buying Things (not just audio gear, this applies to everything), we have a phenomenon known as "diminishing returns". It means that as the quality of what you're purchasing goes up, the price increases exponentially. We also have an...

    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    I'm surprised there's anyone here seriously entertaining the idea that JH would somehow try to demand money post-purchase from existing customers. Do people really think that's a possibility? Not only is it unethical, it's illegal. Step back and think about it... I don't know about you guys, but...

      Where did you find this out? Still $200 on the site for me.

    Noble K10 vs JH Roxannes

    I don't think anyone can answer that very well at the moment. I don't know about the K10, but it's very early days for the Roxanne since they've had some manufacturing delays. The only complete review I've seen yet is Currawong's...

    You guys are reporting all of the connector failures and showing pictures to JHA, right? The more info they have for assessing the problem, the better. This looks like a launch design issue that they would definitely want to address, and it seems likely they may need to modify the mould tool to...

    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    Personally, I'd like to upgrade from my cowon j3 since it doesn't seem to play ball with 24 bit flac files. I want a portable standalone/single unit DAP which will drive the Roxanne happily by itself, can take sdhc cards, and doesn't have a painfully bad UI, for sub £500. Does such a thing exist?

    What DAP is that, anyone know? I assume that's what Jerry uses when he's on the move?

    New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"

    Just wanted to chime in, JH's customer service is really good. I wanted to add in some ER-15 earplugs to my Roxanne order on black Friday, but obviously nobody was in over the weekend. When I got a reply during the week not only were they happy to add the plugs to the order, but they were...
