Hi AJ, hope you are well. Hey what happened with the dynamic/ba/estat that was being talked about with the pearl? I was hoping for a jh with an estat to add to my jh collection.

I'm doing well and hope the same for you! The Ruby Universal-fit IEM comes with the Pearl pack! https://jhaudio.com/iem/JHA-UIEM-RPB

Hi everyone! New to this forum but glad to see lots of candid sharing on Sharona, very helpful! I'm a big fan of JH and currently own a custom JH13 and a universal Layla II and struggling if i should get a Sharona given this is a hefty amount of investment and as I'm based in Hong Kong, there isn't any outlet i can try a demo.

Honestly im very comfortable with the sound quality of Layla II but just the universal fit doesn't quite "fit" for me. I wonder if any of you have a Layla II and share your thoughts if it worths the upgrade in terms of sound quality otherwise this is just a difference between custom vs universal fit for me. Thanks!!

That’s a tough one. I haven’t heard the Layla. I do have a Roxanne and a Jolene and I think, for my ears at least that the Sharona is a pretty big leap forward in sound quality over those two. Mind you they’re all great. But the thing I notice about the Sharona is just how natural it sounds. Music and instruments just sound like music and instruments. I don’t know how to describe that, but it’s less like you’re listening to a headphone and more like you’re just hearing the recording and the music. I think the Sharona is truly special that way. It just sounds right and true. Great impact in the bass, stellar detail retrieval. It’s just really excellent. They are expensive, so I think it’s just kind of a personal decision based on finances and how important those types of relatively small gains are to you. I do believe it is the best earphone in the JH lineup, based on the ones I have heard of course. Wish I had experience with the Layla, might be a little more help there. But I will say I think you’d find it to be superior in sound quality to the ones you have. But taste and preference is so personal and singular to each person, it’s hard to say. I do really love the Sharona, for what that’s worth.

AJ, hope you're doing well! As I'm understanding the advertising here, is Pearl a DSP or is it like a Bluetooth "belt pack" DAC/Amp?

It's a pack that connects to a PC and allows the user to choose from presets or create their own sound signatures via the GUI software!

Hello! The Layla and The Sharona are two totally different earpieces, sonically. The Layla offers a flat, accurate response while the Sharona offers a powerful low-end response along with an airy top end. The super-tweeters used in this piece allow for an extension all the way out to 25kHz. Sonically, the user will notice separation, clarity, and extreme detail, making it an excellent choice for hi-fi audio.

Thanks for clarifying AJ! Sounds interesting!

I am just checking more info about pearl & ruby.

for the spec of ruby, it is quad high quad mid quad low (BA drivers?) that showing on JH website. But Jerry did a youtube demo last year & said that there was a tribrid prototype that will be shipped with pearl. So ruby is not that tribrid prototype right?

I am so curious about the auto-tuning of tribrid iem with pearl, cant wait to hear the outcome.

Just realised that JH audio filed chapter 11 for bankruptcy Dec last year. Are we still able to place orders for custom IEM? How can we ensure delivery not impacted?

That's tough...Hope JH survives this.

A tribrid piece is in the works to offer a lower price point to entry on the pearl pack!

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a reorganization option for businesses. It is designed to keep businesses alive and pay creditors over time. It is also a way for businesses to seek relief. It would not generally interrupt product manufacturing or lead time.
