@KMann I don't see support for AAC, just aptX and aptX HD. Does this mean the Cipher BT cable only supports SBC with the iPhone?

It does support AAC/SBC/APTX and APTX-HD

Does the bluetooth module work well with phones having BT 4.2? How will the sound quality be affected? I am wary of wireless and "high audio quality" claims.

Also what's the point of wireless if the iSine are open and not meant to be used anywhere but the quiet environment of your home?

Would that BT module work with any 2-pin 0.78mm IEM? The over-ear fit might be weird because the buttons are close to the connector, but if the fit/compatibility isn’t an issue, would be interested in trying this with my Samba.

I'd imagine the DSP they use is geared toward the iSine series IEM's.

Hmm, I’m intrigued to give the iSine another look with the Bluetooth module. I think the design of the iSine would be well-suited to truly wireless in the future.

Is it suitable for gym environments? I’d consider replacing my AirPods. I like the open-back form factor but am concerned about sweat and the sound leakage potentially being too much.

@MICHAELSD Not much sound leakage out, but you can hear your environment .

Can’t see using the isine in the gym. Fit is too fussy for movement and I can’t imagine they’d play well with sweat. Love the bt cable however.

I actually find this desirable in some environments, like a gym or office.

Can the bluetooth DAC be EQ-ed with the “Audeze HQ” app?

Pardon my ignorance. Any Audeze insider... is this the much wished for solution that mates the Cipher world to the Android world? I'm so in if that's true. But please advise.

 

[Vitandus]

Yeah it’s a good fit for Android. Avoids the crazy USB-C issues albeit at a cost of possibly less fidelity.

Right now I put my Sony NW-ZX300 into BT receiver mode and can EQ on it for streamed music from either my iPhone or Android phones AND get the benefit of 4.4mm balanced power.

Also for iPad Pro 2018 and later (usb-c).
And Mac/PC.

I’m on the verge of impulse order it...if only Audeze would setup automatic import duties payment (pretty sure fedex/ups offer this service as other sites do that) for international buyers instead of forcing me to wait at home and handle notes and (euro)pennies to the delivery guy, possibly during a snow storm..

Or at least make your products (all of them bar none, including accessory kits) day-one available on Amazon US with international fulfillment by Amazon and they’ll take care of duties and everything..

Hello, head-fi friends!

After analyzing many iem to accompany my recently bought Sony NW-WM1A dap. I had thought to buy the iSINE 10, new condition, at an irresistible price of € 199 (I do not want to spend too much on an iem) in Amazon. My main headphones are the DT 1990 Pro and the iBasso IT01 iem. I mainly listen to jazz, electronic (IDM), classical and some progressive rock and pop of the 80's. Do you think it will be appropriate for me? Should I accompany it with a balanced cable?


Thank you very much to all. Greetings from Spain.

Short answer is yes! Both the Isine 10 and 20 work great with any genre of music. That's the beauty of them, they adapt to the quality of any source of music. They have excellent frequency range capable of picking up all types of sound with very clear transparency.

You won't be disappointed. Regarding balanced cable, you don't need it as they are very good with the cables they come with. But if you want more power then I suppose balanced will be fine.

They have some of the best sound quality, especially the Isine20, but the Isine10 at that price you've found is absolutely a no brainer. Buy them, mate.
