Well, this is turning out to be quite the thread. So... views so far - 1. Its not an audiophile piece 2. Its a piece for onstage monitoring - guess, I'd be the ideal candidate for checking that then... unfortunately it looks like that I won't be able to test that without taking a leap of...

UE Lives should help with battery life then when on stage I guess.... which is a good thing from the point of view of that particular application. Funny you should mention the sibilance issue - one singer I work with, the Roxannes really pick up on his esses! I thought it was an EQ issue at the...

One of my main points of interest with this piece is that it is partially DD - maybe this will give me something a little extra/different to the Roxanne. I've never owned a hybrid so don't know what quite to expect. I think the last time I heard one was the UM Merlin. Funnily enough, not that...

This sounds very interesting. For me, the reproduction of the bass is very important- if doesn't have to be amazingly accurate I guess, just exciting - and the wording of "very addictive bass slam" coupled with lush mids has has certainly got me raising my eyebrow. It sounds like that its...

@twister6 - additionally, could you confirm theres no external venting for the dynamic driver? As you can see, I'm really anxious about learning about the bass response in these drivers - especially compared to the Roxanne which is my current benchmark for bass. I see you have 18ts also, have...

Really interested in getting some solid feedback on these - especially for anybody who can compare them against the JH Roxanne. Tempting stuff...

Meh.   Can't keep up with technology. But at this price, I wouldn't want to. JH Audio business practice is going to lose them a lot of fans I'm sure but I'm sure the profit margins in Layla and Angie alone will soon offset that.   Bit disappointing as others have remarked, given that Jerry...

Mine has zero smell - and everybody who has seen them hasn't mentioned a smell (maybe they are being polite! :p)

Not a cool move for those with existing expensive cables... would be a bit of a shock with a set of IEMs turning up with a different connector! Not a cool move when replacement cables aren't readily available from JH themselves... Not a cool move for those that don't want the bulky cable...

Perhaps I should clarify, I only eq on stage, not when listening. I would be very, very surprised if when Jerry is engineering bands he didn't tweak the eq to each individuals taste. My demands out of an IEM for live use is very different to just listening to music.

I'm not really sure why he has gone away from the U shape... but with EQ, I'm pretty much convinced you can get whatever you want (within reason) from the Roxannes. There is literally so much headroom, even some crazy boost (as opposed to your standard cut) will not pose a problem. I was quite...

OK, I've had mine for quite a while now, so I thought I would share some of my thoughts with you. These are probably the best fitting IEMs that I've had... so top marks for that. I was a little concerned that the CF would have an impact on fit (combined with the fact that my impressions were...

  Oh jeez. :-/

Well, the weave follows the complete shape of the monitor... Make of that what you will...

  If it's not real CF, then they have done a great job... my CFs certainly have the moving 3d effect that carbon weave has when it is moved under the light. It certainly looks like real CF to me. I think if it came to light that the CF was printed and not real CF, JH would find themselves on...

  I'm not quite sure how much truth is in that email...

To me, the Roxanne Universal does look a bit goofy in the ears I must admit   :-/

Just been listening to India Arie and her track Brown Skin. Defo a track that shows off the lovely warmth of the Roxannes. The backing vocals sound sublime. Close your eyes and wrap yourself in that! Anyway, my fit is similar to the above. Certainly not the smallest custom but certainly not...

Just a note...   Quote - "12/2/13 (JHA already had my impressions from a previous order) Arrived 4/30/14"   This is where JHA need their bums smacking. I refuse to believe that a CF order that was placed in October should arrive AFTER an order in December.   Remember... ABSOLUTELY NO RUSH...

Drumroll please. They finally came. Yes, I've been bummed out about the whole experience and I've never had such a hair pulling out purchase in my life due to the crappy comms and constantly changing ETAs... but here they are, a pic as promised. <- Ooh! Look, real CF Roxannes in the wild!  ...

  This was never about patience. I've got that a plenty. It was about the BS communications and the fact that what I was being told did not resemble reality.   There's patience, then there's being given the runaround.

I'll get some pics up for you later... I am out and about at the moment!   Rest assured, they look great, sound great, fit great - in fact, scratch that, they are the best fit I've ever had (which was a worry given the time that the impressions have been sitting at JHA) 

And so starts another week... ...this time with CF Roxannes!! (October order) Looks like Andy is making a difference.

Jeez, I leave this thread for half a day and it turns into clown central. Get outta here you guys, the big top is that way.
