Received them just before leaving for work so they’re burning in for the day… tonight is going to be fun :)

Just received 2.5 balanced instead of 4.4 but I’ll contact them about that

Very quick pics

Congrats David!

I’m not a burn in guy, but these ones seems to benefit from it.

Feeling sad now… it should’ve been alright to order Custom. :frowning2:

I opted for the 4.4mm cable as well. Hopefully they send the correct one. Coming up on 7 weeks since they received my digital files. Did you guys receive a shipping notification or did they just show up at your door?

For mine, I never got an email from JHA that mine had shipped. I have a FedEx account set up, so I got an email alerting me to a tracking number for a shipment headed my way from JH Audio. I then logged into my account on JHA’s website and saw it marked as shipped, but didn’t see tracking info on their website under my order info. Hope this helps.

Mine is still showing as "In Production" dated January 13, 2022 even though my order was in a month prior. I have a FedEx account as well, hopefully it's close to shipping. I'll just have to stay patient and play with my other toys.

Very first impressions after a day's burn in... this is a powerful and energetic brand of sound, I went straight AC/DC and Jolene rocks!
But I tried other genres, it's not a specialist IEM either it can do many things right and this is a unique brand of sound as well...

It seems they come with bass to the max level... one thing, I didn't find the setting was easy to read but anyway right now I love them to the max bass level, fuller sounding

Now off to getting to know each other :)

Same here. Didn't get any notification either, it was FedEx email that notified me.

I opted for the 4.4mm cable as well. Hopefully they send the correct one. Coming up on 7 weeks since they received my digital files. Did you guys receive a shipping notification or did they just show up at your door?
I received an email from FedEx the day before... I was surprised!

Didn't even know there was 2.5 option... a bit confused about that I'll sort it out with them...

enjoy them! very balanced version of the jh house sound- love the detail, space, and nuance in their sound.

they seem to have more "air" than many other jh models ive heard

Absolutely, nuanced is an excellent word... Jolene seems to be power with nuances... quite a combo

Bass... oh my I love that bass and it's not even burnt in yet

Listening to Doug MacLeod "There's a time" 24/176 out of the M9, this album sounds the best I have ever heard it on an IEM... I love my blues, that's good news!
Bass on this album is out of this world good... and guitars... oh yeah!

I find lower treble is very very natural, love it.

Analogue feel overall, well with bass pot at the max... maybe as burn in progresses I'll tone it down a bit but right now it's too enjoyable

My situation is similar to yours. Choose 4.4 cable and the status shows "In Production" for quite some time.

I have a 2.5mm here that I can exchange for your 3.5mm. :)

Just shoot me a PM if you want it.

Hey, well I have a 2.5 instead of the 4.4 I asked for... luckily it's still balanced and both M17 and M9 have 2.5 plug but I don't trust them to last well...

Not surprised, since @Deezel177 Jolene review was spot on as usual, but electric guitars are the most satisfying I have ever heard them I think I'll be listening to a lot more Rock, metal and grunge (back to my 20s yeah!). I just went through Nevermind and my oh my.... only thing is, after 3 hours I have to take a break, it's a vivid and energetic listen... not for late night session but well couldn't resist :p
