Reddog Looking forward to a detailed comparison between the isines and other TOTL IEM's if possible.

I only own the one IEM so far and that is the iSine 20. But I will see if a friend can loan me his IEM's.

So, how big was that fish, @joe ?

I did laugh once I saw that this image got used, as I was just goofing around. While this wasn't my first time in an anechoic chamber, it's always a cool experience, and even moreso to do the testing we were able to. I wouldn't mind setting up my desk in a chamber like that....

will be most interesting for side by side comparisons of the i20 vs these new $$$$ models.
what does the 4-5x price increase bring to the table.

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a pair I'd the LCD i4. This will be my last purchase this year. And if these puppies do not impress me, I have 30 days to return them. But odds are I will fall in love with them. Now to wait for mid June delivery date.

congrats And you have the Aeon too.
Me, I'm patiently trying to sell back the Aeon to get the LCD-i4.

What do thinks about the Aeons? How much?

Yea, but I might sell a amp to help pay for the LCD i4. I will do a comparison of the iSine 20 and the i4. I have 30 days to decide if the i4 is worth the money

Obravos?

They are decent...just decent IMHO, but sound is subjective though !

Well everything is subjective. I compare to (1) the best 2 channel systems and what one can hear there, and (2) live music, especially classical and big band jazz. It is quite a difference. Then again people like 12 armatures firing down and then traveling around poorly made casings and through tiny (and poor sounding) crossovers, so its true that opinions are subjective. But good sound isn't. Single driver well designed and often open iems will most likely be best. With the exception of Final. I dont get their stuff. Way too dark.

 

[Mihalis]

I have been much more focused on 2 channel systems but since now I have the headphones that were referenced and run them via good equipment from 2 channel setups its a pity for people to leave with the wrong impressions. All three of these by the way are my preference vs any multi driver atrocity.

Oh I'm sorry I thought you were asking reddog.
I've no clue how they sound actually. I haven't opened its box. The pre-order was non cancellable and I had backed it since January or so. The firm news about the LCD-i4 only came way after. So here I am, stuck with an Aeon and a toxic €185 import tax which I so far can't recoup ^^

My local Audeze retailer has only 1 pre-order inbound and I'm just crossing my fingers I'll get to scrounge the money in the time. Cuz boy I boy after hearing the iSine 10 &20, I don't feel like listening the a boxed in presentation of my Zeus R; even if it's my top iem so far.

I also decided over the weekend to preorder the lcd i4's based on how much I like the iSine 20's and very positive impressions from Jude and the others who have had a chance to hear them. I just got an email from Audeze today that they should ship sometime late next week or early the following. I can't wait to hear them! These are definitely my last headphone purchase this year (and likely for the foreseeable future), so I'm hoping they will live up to expectations. Will be able to compare them to the iSine 20's.

 

[howdy]

I believe the only way I could get these is to either get divorced ( which is what would happen after she sees how much) or win the lotto. Wonder where the odds lye.

Man its crazy how far portable hifi has gone these past few years. I remember starting out with an iPod classic and a pair of UE superfi 3. Now we have portables rigs costing £6,000+

The Aeon is one sweet closed back headphone. It isolates quite well. The bass is good the mids smooth and the treble is good. These cans are pretty natural and resolve sounding. The sound stage is ok for a closed back headphone. Also the Aeon is very comfortable to wear.

Okay, Jude, get on it.
