I've decided to sell my Lola's since I've switched to Jolene. These were originally purchased from HeadAmp on August 2020, and have been used sparingly with very low hours. These really are in very good condition, although I hate to call them like new because I have really high standards...

I've got a pair of universal Lola's. Love the sound, but the fit leaves a little to be desired, and have really wanted customs for a while now. The Jolene's sound like they're going to be like upgraded Lola's from what I'm reading. Looks like they're using the same mid range dynamic drivers, but...

Definitely contact Flare. They have great customer service. I just bent the 3.5mm connector on my pair of Gold's losing the right channel, and they sent me a new cable right away. And didn't even charge me.

Anyone had a chance to listen to these? I'm definitely curious as my ears can be little difficult to fit.

Thanks for the feedback. That helps.

You mentioned using the Hiby R6 pro with the Lola. How well does that work together? I'm currently using an LG G8 to drive them on the go, but really need to crank up the volume to drive them. I have a mojo also which sounds great, but want to simplify to one price of equipment that can stream...

So I just got my new (open box) Lola's from Headamp. Only had them for about 1 hour, but so far so good. They really are huge however for my small ears. Been trying all the different tips I have to try and get it comfortable. So far the best tips I've found both for comfort and sound are the...

SO I've been looking and reading for a while, and really wanted to upgrade my listening experience, and eventually get into customs. Always intrigued with JH Audio and Empire Ears, and the description of the Lola's sounds like my style. I saw some open box on HeadAmp, and finally pulled the...

Anyone else here tried the Flare Audio Gold? I'm pretty impressed with the single berilium dd. Seems very balanced for a dd with the bass not too overpowering but still has a very musical presentation. Of course they just discontinued these with a newer version of their HD line, but same driver.

I just got my new golds today, and am excited to put them through the paces. Still breaking in, but initial impressions are very good. When I get chills listening to music I've heard many times before, it's a good sign!

I pulled the trigger on the Golds after reading this thread. I was torn between the RHA CL2 and these, but when I saw the sale, I jumped on it. I haven't really upgraded IEM's for years, so I'm hoping to be blown away. I'm still using Monster Miles Davis Trumpets (pretty good in there own...

Thank you for the clarification. That does seem to be what I'm experiencing. I'll look to change the settings in my phone, and in the Shanling M0 and see if that is it.

Sorry if this has been talked about already, but has anyone else had an issue with the 3D mode not able to turn on? I've had mine about a week, and sometimes the 3D works fine. But others, the 3D button won't do anything, and I can't even get it to change modes between 2 channel or hi-res etc...

I just saw this today, and realized I'll be in Cary for a meeting on Saturday, and would love to be able to stop by to listen to some gear. I'm a relative novice, but I could bring Hifiman HE-500's, Fidelio X2's, and I got a pair of UE 6000 that I use for my office. I could also bring Yamaha EPH...

Just got mine in today also. Only started listening using an HTC one as the source. Build quality looks very good. I do like the fabric cased cable, as it won't tangle. The comfort and isolation seem to be above average. The buds are weighty, but feel comfortable in with the installed tips, but...

Sorry for the double post, but I got it figured out, and actually have a working cable in the first try. Not the prettiest yet, but functional, and sounds great.

Thank you for the information. I'm a newby DIY, but wanted to build a new cable on my HE-500. I'm relatively handy, and good working with small parts and spaces (I'm a dentist), but just don't have the knowledge base to know what to do. This has been helpful to know how to terminate the wires...

SO, the big question now is, how do you like them!

Quote: I agree. The LD1+ does a really good job with the HE-500. I am also running Mullard mitilary spec tubes to good effect. I did change the gain to high, but I might go back as I thought the noise floor was lower on the lower gain setting. With the higher gain setting, I typically have...

I finally tried the velours also. First of all, I think the velours are more comfortable and don't slide as much. I think I might like the sound a little better with the velours, but it's hard to decide. I think I finally figured out the amp for my rig however. I was playing around with my LD1+...

Nice score on the YH-1000. If anyone is interested in a good beginner vintage ortho, I just posted an Audio Technica ATH-2 on that auction site. I played around with it a little like Wualta described, but found out that I'm not too much into DIY, and just bought a Hifiman HE-500 instead. It...

So I got a chance to listen to some tunes through the LD1+ last night, and it sounded really good, and I didn't have the opportunity to change the gain on them yet. Probably better than through the old luxman amp (of course, the Luxman is not in the best of shape). I also tested it out through a...

OK, finally got them from UPS. Just plugged them into my old Luxman integrated amp with a Sony x-series walkman as the source (no external DAC), and so far I am impressed of course, I have to turn up the amp to about 12:00 to get the sound I want). Dave Matthews Some Devil sounds really good! I...

Thanks everyone for your opinions on the LD1+. My new cans should arrive around noon. Unfortunately, I have a full schedule today, but I'm sure I'll sneak away for a little time to check them out. Prior to these, the best I've had is a Grado 125, and an old ATH-2 orthodymanic that is slightly...

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely try the HP out on my Luxman and see how that sounds. I also have an old Carver pre-amp with a HP out, but I'm not sure if the resistor drop off holds true for a pre-amp. If it comes to buying new cables/connectors, it would probably be just as well to buy a...
