Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

Did anybody had breakage problems with the new ear hooks? The manual says it won’t break, but who knows? It comes with only a pair of large hooks, so I’m wondering if I should buy spares...

I am very, very careful with my head/ear phones, but still broke 2 clips. If you look back, you will see Frank88 solved the problem, with far stronger horse shoe part, fitted to stronger/thicker Clips. I use mine daily, and never had a problem since.
Did you break the older clips (shiny plastic) or the new ones (matte rubberized clips)?

I broke two shiny plastic clips, within a week, the new one lasted longer but broke where the clip meets the horse shoe part.

One of my small ear hooks broke this morning, without digging through the entire thread, does anyone have any suggestions outside of ordering another set from Audeze? Something more comfy and stronger maybe?
I need spares...

Just got my 20s, upgraded from the LX. Holy crap! @Audeze what kind of wizardry went into making these? The LX sounded great, but the 20s are on a whole new plane-ar of sound.

That is one of the reason I don't use the provided case. It can't accommodate the hook, you will need to remove/put-on every time. I decided to go with the Pelican 1040 case as other member had indicated at this forum. That way, the clips are always on; avoid the need to put the clips on/off each usage.

For those of you, that have not gone through all the thread, Frank 88,( Ask him nicely.) will make you some far stronger horse shoe parts, then on Aliexpress, or eBay, buy earphones clips, which are far stronger, and ones that have the removable shoe, fit Franks part, to the new clips, then you have a very strong over ear fitment. This also applies to the M300, Frank makes a different horse shoe size for them, use the same clips. I use M300/ iSINE 20, most of the time, and have had no more breakages. If you are not sure of anything, PM me or ask on here.

I replace my LCD2C with the isine20 for my office use. Other than the sound stage, everything is here. I am listening using the LG G7 and the USB Audio Player with the Morphit EQ. But this baby still need power.

I use my isine 20's with my galaxy s8 plus paired with the fiio q1 mark2 with balanced cable and USB audio player and I get plenty of power! Balanced makes soundstage tremendously better. Try getting yourself a q1 or better yet q5.

Sad part is that Audeze's own Cipher cable is what gives them best sound, and I say sad because I really am not the biggest apple fan out there, but MAN do those sing with the cipher cable...

Ended up picking up two of these on in 2.5mm SE and one in 2.5mm balanced (4.4mm balanced is also an option?).

We'll see how it turns out. At just under $16 each I'm not sure what to expect, but as long as they are no worse than stock I'm happy.
UPDATE: Found another option. May have to grab one and see if there is a difference:

I broke down and bought a cipher cable for my 20s, and you ain't kidding!
