Jh Audio Jolene Impressions and Discussion
Jan 31, 2022 at 5:47 AM Post #1,066 of 1,253
So guys, I had a very emotional moment with the Jolene last night, I had never heard this recording like this before... it sent shivers down my spine, it was that good!

Jolene is a special IEM indeed... Guitars were again so amazing... but the whole scene imaging was out of this world good (with that huge stage everything is so easy to place), I felt like being there really and Kurt's frayed voice was just as intense as I ever heard it. Vocals are special with Jolene... tessitura is realisitic and lifelike...

Beautiful... Anyone with Jolene I highly recommend it!

On pairings... Jolene is much fuller with FiiO M17 over Shanling M9 so if Jolene is a bit on the thinner less organic side on mids for you, sources do make quite a difference!

The unplugged nirvana sounded glorious on the Jolenes. I'm driving them with a Hiby R6 2020 and I think my quest is done in the IEM world. the combination is perfect for my tastes.

SO GLAD to see others enjoying the Jolene's!
For a while there thought it was just a very few of us, and only Deezel177 and Headfonics with reviews
Enjoying your comments and enthusiasm. For a while was starting to think "is it just me?"

I can never say end game in this hobby, but for now as far as IEM's go, not searching....

I think I said before, I was waiting for the universal version since they announced it back last february i think (a whole year ago now). Many times I was tempted to go for the CIEM but glad I waited in the end. With the Layla's as my "other" IEMs I'm pretty happy with what I have now.

Honestly the black friday deal made me took the jump, bit crazy expense but well worth it!

FedEx delivered the Jolene today after somehow stating I wasn't available for delivery yesterday (I'm currently working from home), but regardless I wouldn't have been able to really listen to them until today anyway. These were so worth the wait. For some reason I had assumed that the bass dials would by default be turned up to max so at first I was underwhelmed with the bass. After peeling off the sticker though it turned out it was only set to the 12 o'clock position. At 4 it was a little too much, but set at 2 is the sweet spot for me; authoritative enough where it isn't just all about the bass. I've only listened for a few minutes as I had a long day at work, but oh my gawd I'm loving the staging and sense of space on these. I had my DAP on random while I'm burning in another set of IEMs and the first track up was AWOLNATION - I Am.

It's like I'm floating above the stage, or back at MSG watching them perform. Going to need some more time with them (darn it if I didn't have a family dinner tomorrow :sob::grin:). I will say they're the largest IEM/CIEMs in my collection, they stick out of my ears a good 1/4".

Don't mean to derail the thread, but i just wanted to find out if anyone has been having issues trying to get ahold of JH audio? I have an issue with a new IEM I purchased from a dealer at the end of December 2021. My dealer has sent multiple messages to JH Audio, and we haven't heard anything back.

Mine came defaulted at 4. Good that you liked it.

Have you tried @nedplimpton here? He is really helpful. Shoot him a PM with your story.
