I feel the pad post are very relevant.

As do I, just wanted to see other posts discussing other topics of this fine headphone as well.

Is anybody offering to print up some 3d plastic adapters for a small fee?

hi
i've talked to vesper audio and the built their pads on request, wih materials , size and thickness as you wish.

so if we have some owner's feedback, we need these informations...

I'm currently running and HM5 angled for a couple of days, confort is way better. I'm still analysing the equalisation modification on my LPG.
+1Db bump at 200 and 500 hz, size 0.3 for the moment.

and a big down at 10500hz from -2Db to -5Db, size 0.5 depending on recording taste and quality.
0 to -2Db at 7500.
I do that even with the original sine pads.

Do you used the adapter for pad change?

 

[flegendre]

no. I didn't.
I'm french so it's too complicated and doesn't seems necessary to keep the pad in place.

Maybe better sonically but I dunno

 

[Audio-MCFly]

and how do you like them with the new pads?

 

[flegendre]

Very mutch cause i can have long sessions now but I have the versatility of the lotoo paw gold with the best equalizer I've ever used.

Without equalization the SINE is way too bright.

Bright? That's surprising. Maybe because of the pads?! Audeze sine and Lotoo Paw Gold...a bit of a mismatch

 
Has anybody tried shure pads?

 

[Draknodd]

Just bought the Sine. I really love them but after 2hr. they become uncomfortable. I think i Will order pads from vesper audio because they do not need any adapter

 

[Asspirin]

Exactly. I'm the most treble-sensitive person on earth, that's why I chose the Sine in the first place.

Hello, Quick question from a less experienced user. I have just bought Audeze Sine which I absolutely love. I am pairing it with Colorfly C200 + Aune B1 combo. Sines are very current hungry (like all planar magnetic headphones) and even Audeze recommends output power of 500 - 1000 mW. Does it mean my amp is not good for it? Aune B1 delivers just 50mW@32ohm and accrording to Audeze I would need 10 times more. o_O It's strange cause B1 is a really strong amp, driving tricky AKG K612s with no issues at all and my Sine doesn't sound like being not driven properly. Am I missing something here? Thx for help.

I think that you are missing the fact that 50mw 32ohm is the power in class A mode and Low current mode . The Aune b1 can work also in AB class and high current mode. So don't worry (sorry for my bad english)

Class AB means lower current so even less power?

 

[Draknodd]

No

Class AB means lower current so even less power?

. You have two switch on the B1. Class A- Class AB and Low gain- High gain.
50mw are for Class A Low gain. In their website there are no Full specs but in High gain mode you will have a lot more than 50mW (considera that sine are 20ohm Not 32ohm so there will be more mW compared to 32ohm Output)

Trip report
 
I spent a total of 10 hours flying on an Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. Both were showing about 80 dB of ambient noise seated mid cabin. With the stock pads I would say the sound isolation is fairly minimal compared to my IEMs. Assuming the -26 dB isolation of my IEMs is accurate, I would say the Sine reduces maybe 12-18 dB. This was less than I was hoping for and don't like the thought of listening to the Sines at high volume to compensate so I would not recommend these for any quality listening on flights. I normally listen to the Sines at about 40% volume but found myself around 60% on the plane so that's not good for my aging ears. The difference between listening at 80 db versus 90 db is 25 hours versus 2.5 hours of recommended maximum exposure per day to avoid damaging ones ears.
 
I will likely just keep this for the office.

grab bose.  though bose sucks sound wise.
