TROLL, TROLL, TROLL, TROLL, TROLL TROLL, TROLL, TROLL....
Seems about right.

I wrote above that my universals sounded better with tips that have short tubes. And you can easily adjust the tube length on a universal anyway. I do see, however, that you are desperately grasping for ways to justify the custom.
P.S. To all you customs owners who made a terrible decision to invest in a product with possibly worse sound quality, possibly worse isolation, and definitely a higher price and lower resale value - my universals just came, two days after I paid for them, and they sound awesome.
I'll be enjoying them as you sacrifice your time and lives with the custom cult. Enjoy!!!

I'm ignorant, I'm ignorant, I'm IGNORAAAAANNNNTTTTT!!!!!!! Hey everybody! Look at my ignorance, point and laugh!!!
Well all righty then...
The new cable is working great, I am glad to have a black cable again. like the looks of it better than the clear. I will also be ordering a longer one when they become available, Corbyn said they would in a bit, after they catch up, that is.
So i picked up the Roxannes today, they look great and feel really sturdy. the box is really nice too. I am wondering about the fit though, i haven't owned a CIEM before, so i am not sure what exactly to expect. For example coming from comply foam tip westones, i was surprised at how little ambient noise reduction i was getting from the outside world (without music playing). after putting them in i had no trouble hearing a quiet conversation taking place across the room. after putting the music on i also noticed that the bass seemed a little washed out and the music was lacking detail, if i made earmuff cups with my hand and held them over my ears gently the sound improved dramatically.
do i have a bad seal, or am i just not inserting them right? maybe i have just been spoiled by foam tips and my expectations were unrealistic for these. does anyone have any advice or recommendations?
I'll post some pictures of them when i get a chance, I really haven't been able to spend much time with them yet, i had to go to class straight after picking them up, which could be part of the problem too i suppose.
thanks for reading.
No you're just another victim of the CMC (customs misinformation cult). What's sad is that I bet a lot of them are secretly happy that they caused you to make a bad life decision; not sure why cult members across the world think that way, but they do.
With the universals, isolation is what you would expect from a perfectly sealed IEM that tightly grips every corner of your ear canal via a comply tip. I'll have to see if they're as good as the SE846 (where you can barely hear people talk 2 feet away from you) but there's no way you'll hear a conversation from across the room. I'm also going to order the professional comply tips (these come with a basic comply) and the veritas tips recommendd earlier.
The universals also come with the excellent black wire with the new connector that everyone in this thread is drooling about (and it's a really nice looking and well made wire, I have to admit). Fit is also good as they sit on my ear shelf and actually might be a tiny bit more comfortable than the Shure SE846, which were perfectly comfortable. Not sure if that's just random luck based on the shape of my ears, or proper design by JH.
The only downside is that they have that warm Audeze sound signature. It's not that they can't produce treble (I checked by listening to the frequencies on this website to ensure that the Roxannes are producing treble at an adequate volume http://plasticity.szynalski.com/tone-generator.htm ) but like the Audeze everything is just slightly warmer. I like brighter headphones myself, but that's completely subjective and I can't blame JH for that decision since the Audeze sound is very popular these days.
Are you OK?
What about people like me with narrow ear canals?
I cannot wear universal iem, Roxannes are way to big for my canals, shure 846 too.
Cult? You seem to be the one sipping the kool-aid.
Maybe you should stop polluting this thread with your opinions?
