Can someone comment on the isolation and sound leakage on the iSine 10?

Looking to buy a pair to use at home and during my daily subway commute but I'm concerned they won't isolate outside noises and disturb people sitting next to me.

Found a great price on a pair of lightning cable ones too.

They won't isolate at all and people will hear your music if it's loud enough to drown out outside noise.

If subway is going to be a major use, I would probably not buy these. even if you switch to comply, they are essentially open backed. I like my isine 20s so much, I grabbed a 1More Triple for those times when I need some isolation.

Ya I commute about 1.5 hours a day so isolation is pretty much required. Thanks for the replies!

I use mine at the gym and at my listening level it works fine for me, but in the subway it probably would not work so well.

As for leakage, I think it's not a real issue unless you in a fairly quiet environment. In most enjoyments they would have to be played REAL loud before it was really an issue, and even then you probably blow out your ears at that level.

I use them walking around or in the gym with good results. I do not listen at low volume though, so YMMV. The subway is not anything I have to deal with where I live.

The 1More Triple, as mentioned above, are good alternatives. So are the Pinnacle P1s.

They won't really if at all disturb people next to you. They are open back. Sound comes through. You'll here the bumps "roar" of the road, etc, but the music will still be highly listenable. I've used them in a vehicle with the resonator removed, so there's a loud groan when the gas pedal is engaged. Still fine to me. You won't be doing critical listening in a semi noisy environment, but they are still listenable.

There's very little isolation. Leakage is not that high, but you will hear everything around you, more or less.

This is definitely not a headphone for subway commutes if you want any isolation at all.

they will not isolate outside noise at all...but they will not bother anyone next to you on a subway

You'll need to eq them. I use UAPP and purchased the parametric eq for it.

Yep, I grabbed a pair of isine20's. Now I just need to read up on finding a balanced cable for use with the hiby r6. I'd never even considered them seriously but couldn't pass this up. Any recommendations for a balanced cable?

Word to the wise, for some reason they showed OOS on internet explorer (work computer) and dolphin, but in stock when I opened with chrome. Might want to try the link in different browsers, was kind of strange.

I saw that Slickdeal as well. Glad you got the 20's. You won't be disappointed. Anyone have any experience with the el8 open or the sine dx? I'm so impressed with my 20's that I'm now considering replacing my PC headphones with something from audeze. I prefer open back.

 

[Astonish]

Grabbed the isine 20s also. The lx were super impressive for the price point, so audeze made a new fan
