Any input or feedback is appreciated from folks that can help steer me in a direction
Have the 13s v1 and always yearned for more bass but never jumped on the 16s. Just got the bug again and got some Layla demos and am wowed by the bigger soundstage and more impactful bass BUT the universals are so big in my tiny ears that they won’t stay in and get painful. Going to go custom and already have molds but need to choose between Layla and Roxanne. When I do listen though, I actually prefer the Layla from my iPhone via lightning connector vs my WooAudio tube amp/Dac. It sounds cleaner with better highs and more crisp on my phone and a bit muddy and recessed on the tube amp. Now my 13s are the opposite and sound boring on my phone and amazing on my tube amp. That aside, some questions for anyone that can help:
1) I have small ears so universals are out.. are the Layla customs bigger or smaller than the Roxannes?
2) if I found the Layla’s to be a little muddy and recessed with my tube amp, should I not even entertain the Roxannes?
3) I love a big soundstage and separation but also enjoy fun and pumping music from time to time. It feels like the Layla’s are like the 13s on steroids minus the forwards highs I get on the 13s. If I miss the highs on the Layla’s, does that mean the Roxannes would be even more recessed?
Thanks so much in advance!! Want to hear the Roxannes before pulling the trigger but the Layla’s sound so good, I’m tempted anyway!!
