Take the earhooks off and stuff them behind the box in the case. I didn't want to but I eventually got used to it. Just make sure to grab them by the base, if you grab the stem, they can break.
Is there any instructions on how to store those away on the carrying pouch it comes with? I just got the isine10's and it seems like it is built to wrap the cable around the foam block but the IEM itself doesn't fit because of the earhooks. Am I supposed to detach the earhooks everytime?
I just bought a couple of inexpensive case from gearbest and banggood. I didn't bother with the included case, as I didn't want to have to remove the clips or break them by not removing them. I don't think it was a well though out case.
Got a smaller case that fits the iSine and a larger one that fits the iSine and the Shanling M1 DAP.
From what I've heard you are supposed to place the ear pieces in the foam and wrap the cable around it (like the image below) and it make sense since there is a slot on the bottom of it but it's weird that the earhooks sticks out... I wonder if someone found a better solution to that.
Does anyone know of a good place to get a replacement cable for these headphones? My analog cable is already breaking at the 3.5mm connection. I've looked around online for 2 pin connector cables and the only ones I could find that had the little notch in the middle of the connector like the stock iSine 2-pin connection has were like $100+. Will any standard 2-pin westone cable work with these? I didn't see the center notch on any of the westone 2-pin cables. The Audeze site says that the iSine 10s use a standard 2-pin connection, but I don't want to buy something only to have it come and not work.
Contact Audeze. I cannot emphasise that more. Mine had cracked at both the 3.5mm end and one of the connectors even though I treat my iSines with kid gloves. They replaced the cable without hesitation - superb customer service there.
In the meantime I also picked up the veclan.com espresso cable that some people have mentioned, simply because the stiffness of the stock cable was annoying me and I wanted a softer, more flexible cable that didn't have a mind of its own. Also, it's fantastic value. I have to say I wasn't keen on its sound when it first arrived - it came across as being drier and harsher than stock - but seems to have settled in since. Or maybe I got used to it. Whatevs.
Has anybody used these bicycling or even outside on a windy day? Is wind turbulence an issue? Currently cycling in the city with UERM and the isolation can make for some dangerous moments.
TIA
I finally auditioned isine 20 + mojo with a friend of mine in my local audio shop.
Both of us had the same "impression".
It doesn't have a sound stage like a good full size headphone (HD 800, Audeze, hifiman) or the clarity + accuracy of a good iem (jh, ue, um).
Still, that's just our "impression", personally I prefer more sub bass and sweet mid like angie but with a little more sparkle high.
My friend likes analytical, micro detail and metallic sound so the isine 20 sounded very neutral an average without over emphasizing any of the frequencies.

Well, it a very open sounding in-ear, at the level many open headphone. BUT you really can't expect it to be at the level of the most open of open headphone. Few things, if any, are as open as the HD 800. Some would even call it artificially so (though I personally have never heard one).
Some of the most highly regarded headphone are known to have a relatively narrow stage for open headphone (HD 600/650, Focal Utopia).
Being a Semi open in-ear you also wont hear the same detail as of isolating IEMs, and really I wouldn't expect to. I can understand someone preferring the isolation of IEM.
It's somewhere in between more open than typical IEM, but still offering some intimacy in the vocals. Like anything else, it may not please everyone, but I think it's pretty darn fantastic for the money, particularly the iSine 10. A lot of those headphone/IEM you mentions are fairly pricey (the 20s are a bit pricey as well).

I should add that I think the bass improves with burn in. They do benefit from bass boost. I find the iSine 20 to be very addictive. The sound-stage is large with good dynamics throughout. The mids have that wonderful Audeze naturalness and smoothness. Treble is good and bass, when boosted really comes alive with impact, slam, and richness.
When I first listened to them I instantly had buyer's remorse, but a week in, and I can't keep them out of my ears. Using an iBasso DX200, on high gain.
Agree that they lack TOTL detail, but for the price range that they sell at, they are just fine.

You both went to audition the wrong ieh if you were after those technical abilities. Lobby your audio shop to get the LCD-i4 to demo. Then come back to your post
see you in the other product thread soon
