I'll be bringing my AK 120 and Roxanne customs to the show. Not sure who might have the universals, though.

I demoed the jh 16 13 and roxanne and found the latter to be significantly more detailed than the other two.

  Hoping to be able to hear some Universal Roxannes in Chicago at AXPONA. 
 
Crossing my fingers. Will be comparing to my 846s. 

 
 

Which vendor(s) do you think will bring Roxanne's? I'll probably go for a day also.

So, just noticed that JHAudio is now on the latest list of vendors at Axpona, so you would think they would have the universal demos with them...

I wonder how the K10 and Roxanne will sound driven only by an iPhone 5S.

The Roxanne's make anything sound great, that being said, they sound so good, that my iphone5 is not good enough sounds wise for me anymore, I ordered the Ibasso DX90 on the 7th and anxiously await pairing my Roxanne's with that

The 5 is perfectly adequate, I don't know if the 5s uses the same chip or not, but "adequate" is not good enough for me

My iPhone 5S sounds very good without an amp. Of course, they scale well with an amp or improved DAC, but I do enjoy the Roxanne's straight out of the iPhone.

Does the fact they make music sound good mean they are not very sensitive or fast/revealing & detailed?

 

[Currawong]

I really like the Roxannes out of my iPhone 5. Quite a bit of that is that they have a good synergy. Players such as the FiiO X5 and AK100/120 are a touch "warmer" in their presentation, so with the Roxanne (universal) which I think of as being a bit warmer too, it can be too much of a good thing. The iPhone is a bit sharper-sounding in comparison.

No
 
Regarding iOS devices: I don't have an iPhone, but I've plugged my Roxannes into my iPad mini 2.  The sound is pretty good.  Apple's ability to keep noise floors low is best in class.  The biggest loss relative to a higher quality source is the lack of front and back three dimensionality.  It pushes sounds together that would be clearly separated on my desktop source or Pico.

How long did you wait for the earphones? I've waited for 10 weeks and they are still processing the order.

I just email Angie, and she told me the turn around time is about 45 ~ 55 business days. OMG, how can I live with this.

At 116 business days and counting, seems like I'm doing quite well then.

IMO Roxanne is a warm/dark IEM. Very emotional and thick. Fun but definitely far from neutral. YMMV depending on where you came from. My reference is EX1000 and 1plus2. If you compare HD800 signature with Roxanne, you will know what I mean.

 
Hi, can you make a comparison between the 1plus2 and the Roxanne?
 
Thanks!

Interesting. What do you mean by 3d sound (carrying body)? I have seen this mentioned by others but am not aware of what this means.

It's just the illusion of depth. Some noises in a recording sound far away. Others sound close. Two noises might occupy roughly the same frequency range and left right positioning in the stereo field. But if one has a resonance suggesting greater distance, the Roxannes do an excellent job separating it, making it sound as though it's clearly behind the other noise.
