Got mine from Jaben for $1600. They did a price match to Addicted.

Roxanne cable jacks are the piece of ****. I had 2 of them died in 2 months. I sent them to Moon audio and they replaced the jacks. I have no problem since.
I might be wrong on this, but i've heard that burn-in doesn't make too big of a difference for BA drivers compared to dynamic ones?
Most of it, is just your brain adjusting to the sound
It can be either, and depends on the drivers used by the manufacturer. My JH13s, when they first arrived, had a very poor bass response. It wasn't a matter of my brain at all, they literally sounded like utter crap. Suddenly after some hours of use, the bass appeared. Later on I asked another manufacturer about burn-in and they said the drivers they use don't change with use.
On the other hand, my experience with "brain burn-in" is that if I use a pair of IEMs or headphones exclusively, I get used to the sound. It is changing to using another pair after having spent time listening to music that I find causes the most problems.
So overall there isn't a universal truth about this. Probably the advice to give a new pair of IEMs or headphones some use is going to be the best, regardless of the possible reasons.

Thanks for sharing this. My uni Rox has been burned in for over 48 hours now. I'm not sure if its brain burn in, but I feel that the bass has tightened up a little bit and sibilance has reduced slightly. I'm really enjoying them so far, they are very enjoyable to listen to and the sound just completely wraps around your head. Bass is punchy, fast and clean yet still so much clarity in the mids and highs.
Just out of curiosity, for those who have the Tralucent Audio 1Plus2, how do they compare to the Roxannes? Thanks
IMHO, sound wise 1Plus2 does better job. Especially, soundstage and instrument separation. With Uber cable it is. I sold mine, just because it wasn't comfortable and didn't isolate well enough for commute. And uber cable is to fragile to take outside.
Interesting, but you have kept the Roxanne's instead. Admittedly, I find my Roxanne's a bit too bulky for outside use. How does the bass on the 1Plus2 compare to the Rox?
My Uni Rox now have close to 200 hours on them and any sibilance issues I had are now gone. Don't know if it's due to burn in or just my brain and ears adjusting but they sound incredible now, loving these.
