Did anyone know about this LCDi3 which is to be released on August 23rd, with a price tag of $899.00?

INTRODUCING THE LCD-i3

Audeze announces the new LCD-i3, successor to the extremely popular iSINE 20 and "little brother" to the LCD-i4. The LCD-i3 features sonic improvements over the iSINE 20, with Bluetooth, Lightning, and standard 3.5mm connectivity included. By using the Magnesium housing and grill design of the LCD-i4, the LCD-i3 reduces unwanted resonance and offers improved resolution over the iSINE 20.

The LCD-i3 will be priced at only $899 USD retail and will begin shipping on August 23rd.

Looks like an iSine 20 in a LCDi4 magnesium shell? The new ear fins sound promising.

@Wyville I saw this, read till the end, thought this was made for you and in the meantime you liked it.
Well..

Haha! Yeah, these certainly have my attention!

Huh it less than half the retail of the i4. I wonder if it will be closer to i4 or isine 20 in performance.

I think it is good news for LCDi4 users. The contents of iSINE accessarry kit were changed. It includes 'Earfins' which is included in LCDi3. I hope it will provide
good fit.

I ordered an accessory kit to try the new ear fins. The old ear locks are what I have been using. They are comfortable to me so really got the ear fins more out of curiosity, but if they improve fit and comfort, I won’t complain! Will report back once I receive

strange both i4 and i3 are described as ultra-thin, not nano.

That was an error, i4 uses a nano-scale film and will be corrected.

@KMann i wanted to get the i4 version of the BT adapter in the UK. On your website you no longer ship to the UK. Why is this? The UK distributor Scan incorrectly lists only one version and has never had stock anyway. I also wanted to order the new accessory kit but can’t order that either.

Hi there, I'm a super satisfied owner from Italy and, given that I'm usually a silent reader, I would like to share with you one of common cons that goes with the lcdi4 - portability.

I was wondering for a long time if Audeze will eventually come out with a closed back item (I thought it could be the i3 before reading the email) but nothing is on the way (I even asked them). So I started to read and trying to find something portable (under 500 eur) that could "match" (I know that it won't but with similar sound or as close as possible to audeze signature) but nothing (I have the basso it01 but I don't like them and I tried the cl2 and I thought it was the worst deal in terms of cost/performance ratio).

Thank you in advance for any precious suggestion!

I personally find the 64 audio tia fourte quite complimentary. Open sounding deep reaching, smooth, articulate.....expensive . Great iem though

I just picked up a 64 Tia Fourte and agree. I love my LCD i4 for listening at home and travelling when I can listen somewhere quiet. But, when I’m moving around or somewhere I need some quiet (busier office) then the Tia Fourte sounds close- certainly better than most other IEMs I’ve tried (JH Layla 2, Noble Encore and K10). I’d say the 64 Fourte and LCD i4 are all I need for portable audio bliss.

I’m looking for a similar solution, but how much can the Tia Fourte possibly capture of the immense open soundstage of the I4?

 

[paul_uk_81]

It definitely doesn’t sound as accomplished as the LCD i4. However, compared to the others I listed, it sounds closer to the i4 than it does to those.

I use the Andromeda as my closed in ear option. its much more delicate sounding , which isnt necessarily a negative, but the large soundstage and good overall tuning is a good complement to the lcdi4 for me.
