I have been playing around with cables on my ciem Layla’s and cables and tips on my iem Noble Encores all weekend. I must tell you on my Encore’s rolling tips made a bigger difference then cables. While I’m on the cables do make a sonic difference team I think it’s more subtle. For my portable rig I use an A&K 320 into a Hugo2. I played a lot this weekend with tips, from spinfit (hate them) to Symbio (better) to foam tips. Your personal preference is most important. From other blogs guys would chime in that comply boost bass and attenuate treble... i feel comply tips without wax guard and turned so they do not block the ports work better for me. The spinfit really attenuate the bass and cause woodwind instruments like my sax to sound more like brass instruments in tone. Piano’s took on a steel like texture as mallets struck the strings. Symbio tips were better for me in most of these areas. Bass moved a little more forward, but still too far in the background, I found myself pushing the tips further in my ear canal. While woodwinds sounded more natural they still had a brassy texture and I found it a little difficult to distinguish between a bass clarinet and a tenor sax (which I have played all my life). The comply round sans wax guard seemed to clarify things better. This is one man’s opinion and I may stand alone.
My layla ciem have a great fit as I sat in their office for hours as they worked on making my fit as good as possible. After playing with cables I fell in love with the sound of the Effect Audio EOS cable on my Layla’s. Especially on my home rig; PS audio Direct Stream, Antipodes DX and Rupert Neves RNHP. The EOS seems to add more air, and separation among instruments, etc. bass instruments seem tighter not more in quantity. Vocals again more air and more natural in tone.

Small Comply Foams + Deep Insertion are probably the best way to go for the JH Siren Series!

I highly recommend moon audio silver dragon

Have you tried anything like beat audio/plussound?

Hi there!
I use my Layla go to sleep and some of the small plastic tape wrap between the faceplate and shell loose and come out, is there any way I can glue it back?
Thanks!!!

I have the plussound x8 in silver+gold. It is slightly better than the silver dragons in terms of staging and resolution. Silibance is less of an issue with the x8s compared to the silver dragon. Plussound however is much stiffer(they use a new shielding now). Im selling my plussounds for the price of a new silver dragon if you are interested.

The Layla Signature series Bacote wood is stunning. Now our review was with the stock cable but I also found a cracking cable today, the OC Studio Orpheus MK5 24awg 8-wire. I think its not that expensive around $250 from Taiwan but very impactful and more extended highs.

Not too far off though to be fair.

Did anyone has been sent jh layla v1 to fix at Jh audio officice before?

And how it look like after when it’s comeback is look like carbon shell is difficult to open did they change it or just look like already open before?
