Anyone heard of this?

I'd seen they were putting out a new triple driver (Diana), but not seen anything afoot the Janis. Unusual looking shape - reckon JH are climbing into the e-stat pool with everyone else?

EDIT: there is a cached page on the JH site for the Janis, but it is a half finished placeholder with text from their Roxanne page. Looks like something new is coming soon though!

I’ve heard rumblings of what’s inside it. If it’s what I think it is, electrostatic drivers won’t be the newest thing it’s got. But, that’s not to say e-stats may not be in there either. :wink:

By the way, the Diana’s ergonomics are pretty great, and its sound is wonderfully unique as well. You’ll get to read my impressions of it and so much more - I really do mean SO much more - within the next week or two. Stay tuned. :p

Don’t worry, I won’t necessarily be announcing anything new. But, the content you’ll see from me soon will be something I’ve never done before. Oh, am I teasing again? Please excuse me. :p

Interesting..it has been a while since I have owned a JH. I liked Angie and could never get a good seal with the Layla, too much like Frankenstein Bolts. I am curious to hear one of the latest by JH.

I think one TOTL investment a year still shows someone that has control....never seems to be just one though

That's what you are saying now about iem investment year :wink:, while 2019 also should shine the light on 40th anniversary edition Sony Walkman flagship and new A&K flagship, and not to forget the recent releases of Cayin N8 and Lotoo LPGT flagship daps :D

@Deezel177 - My uninformed guess: DOME dual dynamic for mids with BA support, small diameter planar for bass and e-stat for highs, with programmable crossover circuits/inbuilt DSP. Am I getting close?

Good to hear the Diana is a unique sound - been looking to pare down my IEM collection but have always fancied something to replace the Angie I had for ages - figuring the Janis will be well it if my price bracket if it's a new flagship. Care to give any more hints on general tuning / tonality?

Well, I literally know only one thing about the Janis (if it’s even the same IEM I’ve been hearing about), so I can’t speak on its tuning. But, I can say you are getting warmer. :wink:

If what you meant by tuning/tonality was the Diana’s, I can say that it’s a warm-yet-articulate IEM with a beautifully wholesome lower-midrange. If your tastes are in grunge rock or any genre for that matter with phat guitars, tom-toms and male vocals, the Diana will absolutely shine. Higher-pitched instruments like woodwinds, female balladeers and violins may sound heavier than usual, but they have more than enough clarity and definition to suffice any listening scenario. A very gutsy, wholesome, bold signature with energy and sparkle to spare - they should’ve called it the Chaka Khan. :D

-BREAKING-

Janis, a truly intoxicating iem.

Jerry Harvey Audio is proud to introduce their greatest flagship, Janis, a soulful, intoxicating iem featuring 27 drivers with a price that would make you choke on your own vomit.
I don't know if I need any more sources of intoxication than I already have.
