I had previously reported a complete lack of treble on my custom Roxanne's.  I sent them back to JH Audio for a refit and to check whether there was possibly an issue with the treble. I mean, mine weren't just veiled, there was virtually no treble.   Andy Regan committed to me to check them...

Thanks much for taking the time to listen and give your feedback. Your impressions make me feel a whole lot better that it might just be mine that sound like that (currently) and that it is not a systemic characteristic. Mine are back in Florida right now for a refit and Andy said he would test...

I agree. I had already turned mine all the way down and it did improve things a little.

Thanks for the words of hope and encouragement and I am really hoping that the burn-in will make the difference. Of course everyone has different frames of reference so I would like to ask a favor of you to give me some perspective.   One of my favorite test tracks for high-end response is...

No I completely agree that they do play a significant role and I posted that opinion earlier in a different post in this thread. I also stated that without an amp I could not even listen to my UE 10 Pros. But I did also compare the HD 650s and Roxannes straight from 3 sources and through a...

Let me clarify, I did not use any amp with the Roxannes yet. I know that is not a strict A/B comparison method, but I know the music well and I know it well from many sources. The Roxannes just don't present the detail and I doubt any amp will make a significant difference.

While much of it may be pure preference, I do like a more forward, detailed, articulate type of presentation, I feel that the Roxannes are very veiled and dark. While mine have not had nearly sufficient time to have burned in (I read somewhere that someone thought they opened up after 200...

I know I said that I would reserve judgment until I paired these with an amp, which I have not done yet, but having spent a bit more time with them on music that I know intimately and having done quite a bit of A/B with my Sennheiser HD 650 (paired with Musical Fidelity X-Can v3), I think that...

I used to own a set of UE 10 Pro paired with a Ray Samuels SR-71 and the amp made a significant difference to the sound. During one flight I was really enjoying listening and my amp batteries died. I plugged the headphones directly into the iPod and after a little while I decided to rather not...

  I am merely reserving judgment because I am used to my UE 10 Pro paired with a Ray Samuels SR71 Amp (both of which I left on an airplane).   I ordered the Roxannes as a replacement for those but given the wait times I was not going to order a new amp (I'm going with a Ray Samuels Intruder)...

    I'm order # 116xx (you are 116xx I believe). Mine arrived today so yours should already be there or about to arrive any day.   I have listened to them a little but will reserve any comments until they are burned in and I have paired them with a new amp.

I recently left my portable system on an airplane so I am looking for a replacement combo but I find almost no comparison information between my older equipment and the current models.   I had Ultimate Ears 10 Pro connected to a Ray Samuels SR-71 with a Cardas Audio mini-to-mini interconnect...
