Nope it only came with the 3.5 and bt cable. I'm also one of those weirdos that does EQ audezes. My 10s were good, i3s are great and really only add a little xbass with my ifi Gryphon.

I'm so tempted, though I just purchased the B-Stock LCD-X's and I already have iSine20's. I know they're not in the same league as the i4's but .. maybe next year.
For everyone else (
): Just go for it. Under $1000 it is a steal. The i4's are classical. Not comparable to iSine20. Next year they might not be there any more.
Same. Mine delivered yesterday. I will admit I was under the assumption that it will come with Cipher cable v2. I have written to support as I am not sure how to get those.
Wil probably EQ it and use with ES100 for now.

I meant doesn't EQ lol and pretty sure they completely stopped making the cipher cable. The ES100 is a great little amp for the i3 but they definitely benefit from power.Same.

Ah. Sorry I misread it lol. I got the i4 and honestly I'm blown away. Just can't stop listening to the music. Feels like I'm back in 90s when my ears could gather everything.
Lossless on Apple Music + LDAC 990kbps on Samsung + ES100 gives it more than enough power to enjoy it across different genres. The sub-bass/ bass is just surreal. So much headroom and tinkering ability, almost blew my ears accidentally playing with gain lol. Trying to find right balance of musical and analytical towards my personal preference.
Have to find the right Balanced 2.5mm cable for it (any recommendations?) and then I'm golden
Pick up a tripowin cable on Amazon if you don't want to spend a bunch. They have a huge assortment and some that you can swap connections on.Ah. Sorry I misread it lol.

Personally if I'm paying for a spendy cable I like Viking Weave. Sebastian is awesome to work with and will do his best to make anything you want.

It does not. We have discontinued the cable a long time ago. We have no stock, and do not plan on any stock of those cables.Same. Mine delivered yesterday. I will admit I was under the assumption that it will come with Cipher cable v2. I have written to support as I am not sure how to get those.

If you're interested in trying out some other solutions, there are a plethora of good portable amp/DAC combos on the market that can deliver a very enjoyable listening experience when paired with the Apple CCK adapter. We recommend checking out the Audioquest Dragonfly, Apogee Groove, or Chord Mojo, depending on your tastes and budget.
Here's a target EQ curve for LCDi4s and LCDi3s from our head of signal processing.
I picked up a pair of these at the b-stock sale-- and they sound... disappointing. I'm hearing small peaks all over the midrange. Narrow peaks that give the IEM a honk at certain frequencies. I'm not sure I'm getting a good seal. I think foam eartips may do better, but the bore is too large for any of my Dekoni Bulletz to fit. I'm going a/b with these headphones with the 7Hz Timeless and they're getting smoked. The Timeless sounds smoother and faster-- with better bass response. Am I missing something? I've used the silicon tips and the ribbed tips-- I'll spend more time with them today, but I'm concerned. I'm a huge Audeze fan. I own the LCD-4, LCD-5, and CRBN. I don't want to dismiss these quickly, but they need to get better.
Dekoni tips fit but you have to stretch them over, takes a good bit of effort. I did this with my 10s and i3s but changed to senda earfit crystal for comfort.
Since my i4s are still on the way, I'm curious what your signal chain is?
You shouldn't need to play with tips. The stock ribbed are fine just resting on the edge of the canal. If the sound isn't agreeable to you like it wasn't for me, you may want to consider eq unless you are allergic. I didn't come to love them till after adding Crinacle's auto eq. Same with the LCD5's. Not great stock, but absolutely love them with Mitch's convolution and still stand by them as my endgame.

Eq. These need eq to truly shine.
Computer >> WA11 Topaz >> LCD i4 is where I'm at now. I can change it up. I can also engage the Audeze plug-in inside of Roon to see if it helps.
