Then in your DAP: Tap "EQ edit". Drag the points on the equalizer curve side to side to change the frequency and up or down to change the boost. Tap "Save", enter the name and tap "SAVE".

Much thanks for that. That post and the pages after are gold. This thread is huge. If someone hasn't been reading along thru it all, they're not always going to find the gems even if using search.

I just picked these up from a headfi-er this week in basically brand new condition and these things are really spectacular! I was hesistant for a while on getting these but they've become affordable in the used market and I'm happy I gave these a shot.

I have had a variety of planar over-ear headphones in the past and these are right on-par with them with some EQ (thanks Audeze for the eq suggestions) and spinfit tips! I didnt like the stock tips - they sounded dark and muddy, and foam tips were too complicated to put on but spinfits made putting these things on a breeze and fit was great. They also increased some of the missing treble and even'd out the sound a bit. I also tried Symbio-W hybrid tips as well but didnt like them for these earphones.

Overall I'm thrilled with how they sound. I'm using them with SpinFits and the earlocks (which were a pain in the rear to set up!).

They sound great through my Cayin N3 but even better through the Magni 2. I was also able to mod some KZ cables to make them work so now I am using KZ braided cables with them as well as using the KZ Bluetooth (apt-x) cable and all work just fine.

Friday I decided to get rid of the 16gb ipod touch and get a 128gb 6th gen. Right now I'm in the process of filling it with Tidal HIFI which I hope should be around 3k songs .I will say that it is probably the ultimate portable hifi rig. Its a very small and light setup.

These earphones are so hard to equalize, especially without proper equipment. Wish someone with measuring equipment would try to equalize them to something truly more neutral, closer to HD650, but with airier treble (~6KHz)

What software are you using for EQ? isine 20's are more HD650 warm signature but still bit different tho

Use your own preference/ears and feeling with equalizing, don't stare too much blind on what "neutral" sound is.
Everyone's ears are diffent, if you really want to archieve neutral sound you need to measure your ears also first, and then you need to buy expensive measuring sound equipment. but then again: what is neutral sound?

I have the Reveal plugin and I use FabFilter Pro-Q 2 for EQ. I can use the Reveal as a basis for equalization, but I prefer doing everything in FabFilter.
I find the iSine and HD650 extremely different. I can't call the iSine warm or anything before EQ, because their frequency response is so off I can't really listen to anything like that..

If I look at your decription you are using the isine 10 right?
If you want the HD650 signature with the Isine 10's you will need to boost the 250hz - 500hz range a bit for more warm sound
The isine 20's have more warm signature than 10's

Trying out the ifi DSD micro BL today with the 20s, sounds really great so far and plenty of power.

Anyone use poweramp alpha and can show me how what eq is best for these? The Isines a planar magnetic and everyone knows what planars love. They love power, they way these are being sold with just the lightning cable I find is in correct, instead I reckon give us a better quality cable and let us power them ourselves. Using my Fiio Q5 then hooking it up to the Elemental Watson, the Isine 20 sing and thats with no messing about with Eq, the better the source and the more power you give them, the tonality does improve, but still feel it does need the eq fix. So anyone can help?

Anyone know where I can buy a 4.4 balanced cable for my isine20 to use with a WM-1A?
Within the US preferably.
