Looks like the 7pin adapters are available now

Awesome! It looks like there aren't any bass attenuators, which is understandable. It also isn't a huge compromise in the Jolene's case, since I usually use them with the bass dials at (or near) full anyway. Hopefully, the pins have the same level of QC. I'll give them a go in January; after the craziness that is shipping in the holiday season subsides.

Will the bass pods on 4pin cable work if i use the 7pin adapter on it?

There will be 3 pins less

Well, the pins needed for the bass pod are in those 4, so it shouldn't matter if there are 3 less pins. That is a good question though. I wonder if they've been able to wire it to work that way.

~70h playing for the ghosts… looks like Burn in is a thing (at least for the Jolene).

I can hear a bit more mid bass and less harshness in the upper mids/lowhighs.

Keep going… not having much time for the new babies anyway.

From what I’ve been told, today only 4 of the 7 pins are used today.
The remaining 3 pins are reserved for some other future additions. What these will be I do not know.
The folks at JH Audio did confirm for me why my request to build my Jolene’s with the older 4pin connectors could be honored was for this reason.
So it seems like the bass pod should work.
Hope this helps.

All the magic of the Jolene…

I pingued JH about my Jolene, ETA is around mid January, nice way to begin 2022

FWIW I ordered my Jolene (custom, not universal) on 11/23 a couple hours after the sale went live. I had impressions on file already with JHA. They finalized my order on the 24th and it showed as “in production” on that day in my account on their site. I’m still waiting for mine to ship.

It seems Jolene must have have a considerably longer production time than other models, with the metal work and such that is involved. I can’t recall a custom from JHA ever taking this long to get made for me. Oh well, I’ll just keep waiting patiently. I know Jolene will be worth waiting for!

In the time it’s taken to get Jolene made, I’ve switched my iem collection to customs

My Layla took over 2months.

Edit: my 3 customs took over 2 months to be built.

Edit2: JH guys mentioned that the build time is about 20 business days for the Jolene, that’s why I didn’t get Custom, I needed it before.

Here it goes another win for Jolene:

Jolene > Layla

The openess, 3D soundstage, instrument separation and clarity. Made this album a new experience for me.

Read through all of this post… yes all 66 pages… and some of the insight has been very helpful. I bit the bullet on a custom pair of these during Black Friday sales and using my JCrew membership discount (I got my first JH16 v1 more than 10 years ago!), and now patiently waiting.

One of the first customers to order from JH’s new London office, with Graham here doing my impressions.

Had the same dilemma as many of you regarding what design to use of the two free ones… so ended up going for Jupiter on the left ear and Hyper Black on the right ear. Job done!

Well I've had mine (universal) for a few days now and in all honesty I've never heard anything like these before.

They sound as beautiful as they look and that's quite some achievement.

The soundstage is amazing, I've seen holographic used several times to describe iem's (some of which I've owned) but these are the first iem's I've heard that I find to be truly holographic.
