Audeze SINE Series

[mammal]

I've just noticed that Audeze is probably going to be announcing their new headphones.
 
They call it SINE Series and this is their description:

The SINE headphone is the next step up for many listeners. It’s lightweight and folds flat for easy travelling.​

 
The only picture I could find:

 
Let's wait and see how they sound, I guess this is going to be their product page

They look like a direct competitor for the Oppo PM-3.

I really hope they do it right this time, the EL-8 was a let down.

 

[YtseJamer]

Yes the EL-8 was a mess.

Travelling and double sided cable? Not in my 2016. Or I am interpreting the image wrong, but it looks like it will be another double sided deal. I guess it's not that inconvenient, but I really think a portable headphone should be single entry.

The EL-8 Closed sound absolutely horrible, IMO.

 
Hopefully, these will be better, but that seems pretty unlikely.

 
 
They sure look nice, though.

Subscribed!  Hope they sound amazing.

@XERO1 Looks like you are based in SoCal. Want to come by next week and check out the SQ on Sine ?

 

[PETEREK]

Who would pass that up?!

Do you have any place in Chicago where I can go and hear it? Thank you in advance. And Happy New Year!

I think this is portable and as such, the thread would perhaps get more appropriate attention in the mobile headphone sub-forum.
 
It'll be interesting to see, if they've been able to fix the fazor QC issues now for good.

Absolutely!

 
While I may not be a fan of the EL-8 series SQ (but I love their industrial design), I consider the LCD series to be some of the best sounding headphones available.
