Wow, that's crazy expensive. I'd bet you can find someone on the forums will to ship to Japan . . . I sent my i-3 to Russia with no issues.

Having gone from isine 10 to 20 to i-3 and then i-4 I can say it is definitely worth the money spent. Each step was a noticeable increase in performance and worth the upgrade cost. In my opinion a used or b-stock i-4 at around $1K is easily the best value in today's market. Whether or not...

I would just go with the suggested headroom adjustment for the EQ settings you are using. Most important is that you are adjusting the headroom :) I don't end up using my i4 with portable players, I find that when I'm using portable it is usually in noisy environments and it is just frustrating...

Yeah, in my experience that's about as fast as you're going to get with a tool like Audacity. I think at the least you'll need to point it at your set of files (ie dragging them into Audacity), you may be able to further optimize by setting up a step in the macro to save the files. Something...

Yeah, the plugin definitely matters for quality, and a couple db really make a difference. Looks like in the latest Audacity you need to create a macro, which will have the EQ in it as a step. Then you can run that macro on a set of files. There should be examples on how to create macros, let...

Which programs have you tried ? Are you Mac or PC ? Audacity will batch process with any tweaks, though a dated UI. Adobe Audition has some batch processing as well. And yeah, I hear your frustration. When I started using portable players I was surprised at how few have proper EQ. I find I use...

Wow, that is an amazing deal, congrats !

There's some comparisons and discussion on the Euclid thread. For me they are complementary but quite different quality. And while the Euclid sound good w/o EQ they sound even better with some tweaks, the Roon preset is great...

Absolutely agree. I keep the Euclid for travel and noisy environments.

Yeah . . . and the i4 and Euclid are even further apart :) That said, I haven't found anything that I find to be a good complement to the i4. For me the coherence and technicalities of the planar drivers just sound better than any multi driver earphone I've tried.

IMHO the i4 is a significant and well worthwhile upgrade, especially b-stock prices. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on how the MEST compares to both the i4 and Euclid . . . those are currently my daily drives for home and travel listening. The MEST is on my short list of...

The cable itself will have 4 wires, 1 positive and 1 negative for each channel. The included, single ended, 3.5 mm cable has the 2 negative leads (ground) soldered to the single ground on the 3.5 mm plug. A balanced plug will have separate grounds, 1 for each channel. It would be straightforward...

Great, thank you, this is very helpful and exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. The Turii is now on my list as the nest IEM to acquire :)

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on comparison and/or use case differences between the Turii and i4. I have currently settled on the i4 and Euclid as my 2 iems, for me, they are a clear divide into quiet environment/private listening and travel/public. And while I really like the...

Great to hear, I've just been looking at the SP2000T as a portable tube solution, my DX220 just can't provide enough power with the SE tube amp.

I have both and consider them to be the perfect pairing to cover home/studio use and remote/noisy environments. I have some more detailed thoughts over on the Euclid thread. For me the i4 needs EQ. I was using a HiBy, but couldn't figure out how to use the MSEB system to EQ. Ended up with an...

Good point, sound signature is the incorrect term. It is more like almost the absence of a sound signature . . . amazing technical ability, super clean and linear, as you say a reference headphone. I have tried others and haven't found anything to rival the i4. Some sound better with certain...

Depends how much you like the planar sound signature. For me there is nothing else that equals the precision, detail and natural sound of planars. I think the i4 b-stock is one of the best values in the market, for me end game at what is currently seen as a mid-level price

I'd say mine are down pretty deep, kind of at the end of the nozzle. And when I first got them the right side was near the top, left side was deep. To me, the right side sounded much brighter, in particular cymbals and high hats seemed to be really prominent. I sent Audeze support a note, they...

Ah sorry, sold already and forgot to change the listing

This is a beautiful cable that came with my i4's, I already had some cables I made for my i3's and just never used it. Paypal fees and USPS priority mail included in price

As shown in pics LCD-i3 including BT and Lightning cables. In excellent shape, I bought these about a year ago and listened to them for 4-5 months, then ended up with a pair of i4's. They are B-stock, the only thing I can see is a slight bit of glue residue on the right piece. Paypal fees and...

I bought these in December directly from Linsoul. Listened to them off and on for about a month while doing some traveling. They sound great, but I'm just not listening to them very much, they need a new home. The other ear tips are included, I can take a pic if you need. Price includes USPS...
