hi guys, please help. roxanne or lola???

 

[KimChee]

Depends on what kind of sound you’re looking for. I myself prefer the Roxanne and have had the custom for about 4 years now. I like the headphone like soundstage, deep bass rumble with texture, lush rich mids, and darker treble, it rolls off sound 8k, but I’ve adjusted EQ and have the Plussound X8 Gold/Silver Cable and have the perfect sound for me. The Roxanne is very detailed, but has a really big, thick sound.

to be honest, i already have two hybrids: fourte and z1r. so i wanted a multi driver BA iem which is why i want roxanne. but the lola looks tempting as well. what did you like about lola?

Just bought this. Bass dial on 1 o clock....soooo nice.

Almost lost hope after trying the 13 and 16..

can i ask are all version of roxanne tuned the same way, or do they sound different

I am surprised no reviews for roxanne aion

can someone list the order of version release of roxanne, is this the correct order

1- Regular roxanne
2- full metal roxanne
3- roxanne aion

I'd certainly say there was a major difference in size between the first run of the Carbon Fibre model and the larger current version. Soundwise I believe they are very similar, but I lost the first set and had the Moon Silver cables with them most of their time.

Hope that helps.

Like John said. I hear not much difference between the Layla Aion and the older metal version. I think it because of the Aion fits better, so I assume the new Rox will be the same.

the performance and newer has the newer crossover, which to me smoothed out the peaky highs in the roxanne. the roxanne performance/aion, jh13v2 and jh16v2 are much improved over the original roxanne/roxanne full metal and jh13/16 freqphase.

the new crossover really ads space in the soundstage and air to the mids, along with smoother highs and better detail retreival in my opinion.

it went from me not liking the roxanne original and fmj, to really loving the roxanne performance.

i have the Roxanne performance and boy this iem rocks

- I have mine at 10-12 o'clock on the bass dial
- mids are amazing and I do find them so enjoyable to have this forward midrange
-details and highs are amazing, how some call it a dark sounding iem is strange

One thing about Roxanne is they need to be played at louder volumes than my other iems to shine.

I tell you from all daps or sources that I tried it sounds best with calyx. I think these iems love power to shine

Now with ibasso dx200, nah its not a great pairing, although you might think that since ibasso dx220 with stock amp1mk2 is neutral sounding but with stock amp it is not getting the Roxanne to the level as calyx.

I wonder which other dap with streaming can make it sound as great as with calyx, as definitely this iem is source dependent. I tried mojo and that was good as well

I also have the Lola that one I am giving them more burn in time to see what it will offer in its final tuning compared to roxanne.

Anyway after I listen to Lola or roxanne I need some time away from iems to be able to enjoy my sony ier z1r, noble khan and encore brass limited edition or shure kse1500

I ordered few jhaudio cable adapters with bass boost adjustment to do some cable rolling and see where that can lead to

I just tried the roxanne, and am in love with them. My question is that how do they compare to u12, it seems that the u12 are a bit leaner, and i would still like the roxanne better because I love the rich thich sound. My second question is iem or ciem?

I tried the iem and they fit pretty nicely, not sure if ciem would be worth the extra?

 

[KimChee]

I’ve got the Roxanne paired with my Copper AK380 and Copper amp and it is audio nirvana. I’m also using the Plussound Audio X8 Gold/Silver Cable. I’ve had the custom Roxanne for about 5 years now and hope it lasts...

i have a question, do u put the tips to sit flush with the stem so that all sound ports are visible, as I noticed a big difference in sound when i put the tip flush with the nozzle compared to non flush fit

 

[thewatcher101]

The level of insertion matters, I am thinking that since these were built for CIEM application. They should go in deep. I found some tips that have worked great and even better than the CSX version of UE. The best-fitting tips were from my powerbeats pro size S, they were thick and narrow and create a perfect deep seal. The other tips that worked were final audio type E tips, but they were a bit thinner.

After some time with them, I love these things. Most IEM on the market sound thin, if you like your music analytical, by all means, go for it. If you want a lush and tonally accurate to what you would experience listening to live music, these IEM are it.
