[FiiO FD7/FDX] 12mm dynamic driver with its diaphragm using pure beryllium, with an outer-magnet field, up to 1.5 Tesla magnetic flux.
Look forward to it and sharing the opinions on here. I believe the cable would have an affect but we will only know when we get together. Suggest a time via PM. Either yours or mine or a spot in between. Regards Sceptre- Sceptre

I'm obviously in the new toy honeymoon period with the FDX, however with 100+ hours on them now I can also say that I am choosing them to listen on more that the JHA Roxanne's. I'm driving them most of the time with a iFi GoBlu and am as amazed by the available quality whilst remote, almost as...- Sceptre

I believe the construction to be the same save for 24k coating and some external bling. I think they have a different cable though with copper silver and gold. I'd expect the cable to have an effect on sound, and I also believe in the effect of burn in from personal experience. Regards Sceptre- Sceptre

First purchase of 2022. FDX incoming. I've enjoyed the FH7 since Duncan recommended them and have enjoyed reading all of your reviews and comments. I was waiting for IE900 listen as the IE800's were fantastic save for the cable issues - cracking and Y splitter designed for v small heads...- Sceptre

Live Q&A: IE 900 with Jermo Koehnke
Hi Jermo, Axel mentioned that burn in effect was 'noticeable' on the IE800 but was not 'measurable'. What is your view of burn in on the IE900 and has measurement tech managed to detect the differences that an ear can hear? Regards Sceptre- Sceptre

Still waiting for the promised release of the Apple cable release (ACS800 was it) for my IE800's !! I'll wait to read some reviews of comparisons and hopefully get a listen to the IE900's some time. CanJam was always my go to for finding out first hand about new products. Regards Sceptre- Sceptre

JH Audio Sirens Series Roxanne Impressions Thread
can someone list the order of version release of roxanne, is this the correct order I'd certainly say there was a major difference in size between the first run of the Carbon Fibre model and the larger current version. Soundwise I believe they are very similar, but I lost the first set and had...- Sceptre

Ultrasone edition 10 "THE BUTTERFLY" initial impressions
You absolutely have to burn these in. Harrods had a pair playing 24/7 and then liked them. When I bought a brand new pair, I understood why they got all the hate from Tyll. They were unbearable but I knew what they would be. I’ll not sell my Ed 8,9 or 10. Enjoy!- Sceptre

Ultrasone edition 10 "THE BUTTERFLY" initial impressions
Just burn them in !!!! I have a pair from new and the early tests were ' `just like Tyl said'. However, they tamed to keep all the positives and to my ear, lost all the negatives. please just give it time and keep them playing in a draw or something. I promise they will change more than any...- Sceptre

Ultrasone edition 10 "THE BUTTERFLY" initial impressions
Mine are a few years old and have lost all that made others cry. It is amazing how these change and absolutely confirms the burn in theory. These change from unbearable to, IMHO a fantastic headphone. Enjoy the journey! Regards Sceptre- Sceptre
