Some quick Impressions source are my AK100 MKII and Chord Mojo for the moment.
Fiona Apple the Waltz, Miles Davis So What, Rush's Carnies off the Clock Work Angels Album and Smashing Pumpkins Oceania are some of the tracks I played so far. 24/96 except for SP Oceania and Fiona Apples which is only available at 44.1k.
Mosts of my listening is done on full size cans, Senn HD800 and HiFiMan HE400i so these are really my fist set of high end UIEM.
After adjusting the bass pod to 1 O'clock I settled in and started listening the first impression was WOW the bass is impactful and controlled, I could discern all the bass lines in the music agian very detail and very musical and tight.
On Miles Davies So What, man this track was really killer, horns sounded so detail and with lots of air very extended,
On the Pumpkins Oceania the guitar details were brought to attention with micro detail like never before. I am delighted with the way this phone sounds and if going up the Siren line is exponentially that much better, i will try and find a way to audition the the Angie next. If high end IEM are like these I've been missing some music, back to lisetening.
I think now that you've bought the Rosie, and you're happy with it ... you really shouldn't try the Angie now .
I will and if they sound better than ill exchange them, no big deal. The place I purchased them from has a great return policy so no issue. The issue will only be if the difference is worth the difference in cost to me.
Hi everyone! I just took the plunge in my very first over $1000.00 headphones/Earphones, those being the JH Audio Angie's @ $1099.00. This is nuts for me and my sweetheart is not too happy about it, but.....music the way I want to hear it completes me. So as I am awaiting delivery I will be tenaciously awaiting fellow Head-fiers impressions between the Rosie and the Angie iem's. Any input will be helpful. My preferred sound signature is one that is natural, extended, and with a hint of some vocal forward presentation while keeping sibilance at bay.
Is the metal Roxanne have stainless tube bore? Are there any changed in sound?
Thank you very much.
those really are lovely.
only thing holding me back is some of the CS issues i've read of on here.
and a fellow headier i know said they had QC issues with 2 sets of iems
(faulty first pair, the a return for a replacement...think they were the angies).
and that he'd never again do business with JH....so i'm still reviewing, deciding.
I have to admit, I have been following these new offerings from JH Audio here on head-fi. I previously owned a pair of Roxanne Universals and found the fit to be rather fussy (not that it was about looks, but basically a coupla Frankenstein bolts sticking outta my ears), it was plagued by a coupla QC issues, and the sound never wowed me, strangely and sadly. I bailed on them with the help of eBay and bought a pair of Shure SE846. I did notice the new Universal models do seem smaller and hopefully fit better, and I would love see them get the fit-n-finish and customer service issues sorted out. For all their weirdness, these new models hold a strange appeal to me!
Anyone listen to the Roxanne II? I'm very curious as they aren't supposed to have the sibilant issues which were their main flaw to me
