Warm and simple are the two best words I would use. These are not going to be as articulate and detailed as say the 13v2 or 16v2. Not have the power of a Roxanne or Lola, just enjoyable to listen to like a nice record over a digital file.

The Lola does have a "bigger sound" over the Jimi, but can be a little bloated in the mids to mid lows for some. Now those can be turned down of course. The Lola was originally designed for on stage guitar use while the Jimi was designed with a more vinyl-like sound signature. Both are fun for...

Have you thought about the Jimi? I prefer that over the Lola personally.

Head-fier's, We recently discovered that there is a potential issue that affects some of our UM2 and UM3X with Removable Cable. A component inside the earpiece may become dislodged and cause a “rattling” noise and decreased sound quality. The component in question has now been modified to...

OK so with the coloring.... swirling the acrylics does not always come out right. Since these are literally hand-poured into the cast the color starts to blend when we attempt the swirl. There have been a few that look OK, but honestly most do not. The colors get all muddled where they meet and...
