JH Audio’s Universal Plus program lets buyers put custom artwork, shell colors and faceplate colors on nine of its universal-fit monitors, with no ear impressions required at all. The sound doesn’t change at all, and the premium buys looks alone.
The configurator on JH Audio’s site covers artwork on one earpiece or both, shell and faceplate colors in solid and transparent finishes, cable color and length choices, and case engraving on select models, all picked per earpiece before checkout.
Looks change. Drivers don’t.
The fleet logic is the stronger pitch: touring productions, rental firms, houses of worship, schools and broadcasters can run logos and matched colors across a rack of identical sets.
An engraved case ends the drawer mix-up.

What the money changes and what it leaves alone
JH Audio states the boundary plainly: Universal Plus models keep the same acoustic design, driver configuration, crossover architecture and sonic performance as the standard universal versions sitting beside them on the same page.
So the artwork isn’t hiding a lesser monitor, and the colors aren’t hiding a different driver count in a prettier shell.
You’re paying for identity, nothing else.
Nine models, one flat step up
The ladder runs from the JH5 Uni+ at $449, a two-driver monitor with one balanced armature on lows and one covering mids and highs, to the Sharona Uni+ at $2,549 with sixteen drivers per side and a four-way crossover.
Every step between them, the JH7, JH11, JH13V2, JH16V2, Layla, Sheena and Roxanne, carries the same $50 gap over its standard universal version, so the artwork decision never changes with the budget.
Fifty dollars is the whole surcharge.
JH Audio JH5 Universal (Black)
2 balanced armature drivers · 2-way crossover · The standard universal, no personalization
Price: $399.00
Where to buy: Buy on Amazon
Buy the Uni+ version if your monitors work in public, where a name, a logo or your own colors mark the pair as yours in a shared kit or a rental case. Skip it and buy the standard universal if the shells live in your ears and a drawer, because the $399 JH5 and the $449 JH5 Uni+ are the same monitor wearing different clothes.
