Let's see what this will offer sound wise and fit wise

I posted my initial impressions on another thread, but here they are:

I have a review pair that I'll be covering and while I'm at work, I'm using the Cipher Lightning cable with them now on my iPhone XS and boy am I impressed! Just loving what I'm hearing so far...they sound very expansive and dynamic.The new ear-fins work quite well too! Very balanced, expansive and transparent sounding IEMs that are easier to drive than the LCDi4 (which requires my Hugo2 to fully hit their stride).

how was the fit with new eartips, as many did have few issues with the fit of isine 20

did anything change in the fit design?

 

[MacedonianHero]

Quite simple, just put them in your ears and you're good to go. I like their design and how well they fit onto the LCDi3s. While I think I'll still use the ear hooks if I'm going for a jog, but for walking or sitting, they fit quite well with no comfort issues (which I haven't experienced with the iSine20 FWIW).

I wonder how they will sound without the lightning cable and going straight into a DAC?

Me too! I’ll give them a quick audition on my Hugo2 tonight.

Yep, EQ-ing (or using Reveal plugin) i4 is a must if you don’t use cipher cable.

The thing is I don't want to tie up my iPhone and would rather use my Mac for tunes when lounging around. I can remember the last time I had the 20's they sounded okay but not great going directly into a DAC.

Hmm not much talk about the LCD-i3? No dedicated threads?
