PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, TURN BACK NOW. YOU DO NOT WANT THESE.

ALMOST EVERY HEADPHONE HERE NEEDS WORK OF SOME KIND AND MOST HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES. DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS LISTING IF YOU ARE NOT BOTH DIY-INCLINED AND SOMEWHAT INSANE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

ALSO, HEAD-FI CHANGED THE CLASSIFIEDS SYSTEM. THANKS. PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT WHILE I ACTUALLY FINISH THE LISTING SINCE THE "SAVE" BUTTON ALSO POSTS THE LISTING FOR NO GODDAMN REASON.



For those foolish enough to still be reading this, congratulations. You have happened across your chance at owning a piece of my own personal hell.

The headphones in this listing are "extras" -- things I had seen floating around the internet and was curious about, but did not actually have a need for. Eventually, I happened across a cheap unit, bought it, and after having my fun left them sitting in my house unused for a period of time variant between a few weeks, and several years. The intention was to fix any issues, and resell them individually when I had the time.

The reality is, I've given up. I will never have time for these. I have been complacent in my own suffering for too long. They will leave this place forever, by the end of this month.

There is a lot of rare and/or good sounding equipment here, and I would make more money selling them individually. I no longer care. These are getting out of my house, period. If you really want something to be separated from this lot, DM me and let me know what you want. Anything that doesn't sell within a week is going onto eBay into a single lot.

A staggering majority of these headphones HAVE ISSUES and are NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL, hence why they have sat around for so long. I will list every headphone and it's KNOWN issues below -- THIS IS BASED OFF OF MEMORY, AND IS NOT AN EXHUASTIVE LIST. I will describe every issue to the best of my knowledge, but don't come crying to me if I missed a random scratch somewhere.

Is the Cipher cable that comes with the iSine10 offering the Lightning one (meaning, not the Bluetooth cable), and if so is it the three button or four button version? And is it fully operational? Please advise...

I really only want/need an iSine Cipher lightning cable, but I'll take all of the iSine10 offering ... tho only if it is the 4 button version. How much are you asking for the iSine10 item?

Hi, I am interested to buy the iSine but only the rubber/plastic think it is called concha something. Have the 20 and it is a flange/wing thing looks like a railing and holds them in your ear so you don’t need to use the hook. You can keep the rest! I pay via PayPal and shipping to FL
