Are you guys preferring the hooks or the locks with them?
I use the earlocks. They fit in my ears comfortably, and although they seemed a little wobbly to begin with, they are actually in there quite securely. Now that my ears are used to the earlocks, I can wear the i4s comfortably all day. I found the ear hooks less comfortable; however, from the isine and this thread, it sounds like the earlocks don't work for a lot of people's ears and many prefer the hooks. Think it just depends on how each person's ears are shaped.Are you guys preferring the hooks or the locks with them?
I use the 600 Isolation. Prefer those over ribbed onesAccording to the Comply website the 600 size designation fits the iSine20 so the 600 should also fit the i4? I am thinking about trying a set of these but wanted to try the i4 with the ridged tips first.

when I tested LCD-i4, Fourté and SHURE, I came to the conclusion that I much prefered the uber-precision and un-coloured sound of the SHURE. Of course the i4 offer a bigger sound stage, but ME i am not so much looking after big soundstage. In fact I quite like "sound in the head".
- direct out of the SP1000; ranking was : SHURE > FOURTE > LCD-i4
- out of HUGO 2, ranking becomes : SHURE > LCD-i4 > FOURTE
Obviously, unless you haver a KANN, the LCD-i4 need an external AMP to shine.
Kse1500 shure is nice and still is the best for instrumental acoustics and recordings which doesnt have lots of post process. The i4 is better it in every other genres to me. The fourte... i wouldnt pay 1000 bucks for that.
Something cheaper that actually impressed me is the inear prophile8 with all the switches turned off. Great value for the performance
One unexpected thing: the included USB stick contained 2 very short manuals: one for iSINEs, one for generic over-ear-LCD headphones, such as LCD4 or LCD3 (why should I care??)! Audeze, are you kidding me?? A 2000+$ product and you are unable to put a LCDi4 specific manual together (I know it's conceptually similar to iSINE, but!)? There's no sign of the LCDi4 in what you included, I can see specs for any possible Audeze head- and earphones but the one I bought, lol! And the support videos about how to use hooks and locks? Why not include them as there's enough space?
Product itself already sounds fabolous and that's what counts, but such choices make me wonder...

The LCDi4 manual will be included in the future shipments. Looks like the USB drive was not updated correctly. Please PM us your email id and we will mail you the manual.
