Mine placed on Nov 29. Status shows In Production since Dec 20. Keep waiting... I am also waiting to receive IE900 which is ordered about 2 months ago.

Anyone had any issues with the sockets/cable? Or quality control in general?

My socket has failed (loose) over time. What I thought was an issue in my ear when I turned my head was actually the socket, and then I saw bent and broken pins when I unplugged it!

And to think I mainly bought Jolene over UM MEST MKII because of concerns about a non-recessed 2-pin socket!

So... my loose socket failed and damaged one of the connectors. Very disappointed to be honest.

I would understand the cable not being covered after a year or if a dog had chewed it, but this is damage because of the socket.

I'm tempted to just cut my losses at this point. Have you ever heard of a broken socket not being covered by warranty?

It's a pity that mine accidentally fell and cracked.
But the future is really damaged, I will use high quality wood to Jh production project
And like to give my opinion to challenge more possibilities with them
Although my friends think I have the best looking
Each piece is unique and always creates new art
grateful

So... my loose socket failed and damaged one of the connectors. They've quoted me £400 ($550) for the repair and a replacement balanced cable, saying I've twisted the socket and that the socket and cable are not covered by the warranty. Very disappointed to be honest.

I wouldn't say the Jolene is bad, and with some genres it was very good, but I don't really miss it. I bought blind and it wasn't amazing either, compared to my old A12 from memory, and W60, IE800 it’s not a huge upgrade, and PowerBeats Pro beats it for lows.

Have you sent the IEM’s back to them to check or the quote was based on emails/pictures?

I don’t think any brand cover socket/ connectors under warranty. We had quite an extensive discussion once on Noble’s thread about that and they were adamant about not covering it, 64a also doesn’t cover it.

Yes, sent it back.

UM definitely covered a socket repair for me, many years ago. It was 2-pin socket that just too loose.
ACS and others too from what I remember on here, when T2 BaX cables were being problematic.

Thanks for sharing, didn’t know UE would cover. I like the classic brands and still want to get something from UE.

Mate, I had my Apple Music in full shuffle mode yesterday and I rediscovered so many lost songs in my favourites that were not heard in ages. They sounded like another song in the Jolene…

Quite a pleasuring listening session last night. As I told another friend here, Jolene weird (different) sound signature is addicting. Everything else I put in my years sound boring and more of the same.

Keep those impressions coming, eagerly waiting for mine... should be not too far in the future hopefully

well, after a couple of days the bass really came alive for me. I switched to the foam tips and the bass really opened up. the Jolenes handle everything I throw at them, from rock to metal, EDM to ambient, classical and opera. the sub bass hits deep, there's plenty of impact on percussion, and all other instruments/voices are clean, nicely separated. and theyr'e so comfortable to wear, i've listened to them for hours at a time. i sat through all of wagner's valkure the other day which i havent done in years, just out of the pure enjoyment of it.
i'm very satisfied with them.

FYI my custom Jolene just shipped. I ordered right away on 11/23 and had impressions already on file.

 

[bigbeans]

Exciting! Looking forward to pics and your first impressions. My Jolene should be shipped out first week of Feb

I should give the foamies a try… I always neglected them with all my IEMs.
