I was going to get UE Ref. next, I should re-direct myself...UM or Noble...

Which UE Ref? I heard the UE capital reference demo, it sounded great, if I were to get another CMIEM, those would be what I'd go for.

OK!!  that's cool...I'm researching on UE Ref. Monitor...it's $2000...we adjust the sound we want, that's interesting.

I'm suprised that put you off CIEM "for life". I can understand that it would put you off UE.

And then live with what you have chosen!

Because one can't be sure what his CMIEM would sound like until they have been made and they will not sound exactly like the demoed pair. I've heard very different sounding UE 18 Pro demos from different shops since I had mine. At least with universals, I know exactly what I will be getting, and that was how I knew my AKR03 were faulty.

Yeah they sound interesting but they don't have that service in Hong Kong. I somehow wonder if it's possible to transfer 100% what you selected into CMIEM in real life.

So while my other pair of headphones are in repair, I thought it would be a good time to try something new. I bought a pair of Universal Roxanne's and am not very thrilled. My initial impressions are as such:
 
Great separation and soundstage, though not an out of head experience. Here is where it gets bad. Terribly lacking in sub-bass until cranking up the dial. Once the dial is cranked up, things seem a bloated. Vocals on some recordings sound bloated too, even with the bass dial turned down. (not a problem but a general observation: when listening to the Roxanne's I felt the the music wasn't presented musically, but rather being able to hear details as sounds and not music)
 
I wanted to like these, especially because of all the great reviews. At times I felt like I was listening to a much cheaper headphone. Anyone have any suggestions on what might be the issue or how I can "troubleshoot" my Roxanne?

First time I hear Roxanne lacking sub bass. With my custom that is what I want to decrease. Even at the lowest bass setting I feel its sub bass is still a bit too strong. With universals, try different tips. It does play a big part in altering the sound perception of an iem

If you noticed, most owners burn in their Roxanne for 100+ hours. Probably you can do so as well.

I initially had the same feelings for the roxanne. I now LOVE them. You need to do your work to put in the right tips. Burning them in actually did help calm the drivers and sound down a bit. They are super sensitive and will draw out a lot of elements you aren't used to. But I would say the tips are the biggest trouble to match, as are with any good universal. I love my meelec double flange. Really sounds amazing.

 

[KimChee]

How much time do you have on them?  100-200 hours run in time.  My JH16 was the same way when I first got it, bloated bass, compressed soundstage, no separation.  Ran some music through it and they opened up very nicely.

I have a universal roxanne and definitely let them burn in for at least 100 hours, mid will clear up but slightly, the bass will settle down and the bass will hit when it is supoosed to hit. Also, I noticed that I actually decrease my volume overtime.
