Just wanna share my experience with my cf Roxanne. I received the roxanne on mid may. I ordered them via local Jaben and get my ear impression done on 30 October last year. So the wait is about 7 months.
Yes this is the longest waiting game i have done. Before it took me about 4 months to get my amp and 2 month to get the interconnect. So yeah I am getting used to wait. They are killing me but once you get it, they are actually worth it, I guess I just appreciate for all their work and time to get each of their item produce. They sounding may not be your cup of tea but it is their passion that you hear.
First time I listen to Roxanne, oh no.. they just sound like my 215se, they kinda emphasize in bass. But of course with much better sound quality and separation, like my earsonic sm64 v2. Vocal and treble is not as present and airy as my grado, It is kinda dark at first really. So first impression they are not bad, i kinda understand the sirens naming on this. They really does sound like sirens on the pirates movies that can lure people to the sound, It is not really engaging but it is so beautiful so that you hardly take them off your ear.
After more hours burned in, the sound just keeps getting better. vocal more present, Bass getting tighter (i set them at 12), cymbal sounds crisp and details, electric guitar sound real, trumpet also sound real. But what i really like is the bass. They are really filling up all head with all the detail and vibration.
So final word I am really happy with my roxanne, I am thinking to get a new cable from dhc once Peter get the connector. Yes they smell kinda odd, but I am getting used to it after a while.
So guys you may or may not give them more time to finish their job. But for sure jh does beautiful things on the Roxanne,
Cheers!
