Hi everyone. So im quite new in the community but has sort of gathered a couple of headphones and been trying out some stuff recently. The third IEM (IEH?) I thought I would try out would be the Audeze iSINE 10 Planar magnetics. Heard pretty much mostly excellent things about them (soundwise) and I gave it a shot. Bought them on ebay used and got a great deal on them and they arrive in perfect shape. Went on to try them and well..
They sound AWFUL! I dont know what it is. I tried both the cipher cable and the stock cable and NOTHING made them sound any better. I tried the EQ settings some provided (even audeze themselves) and even then they sounded awful. So I decided to try some other tips that had better isolation; a muddy mess. I tried the tips that came with the FH7s that for me are perfect. Yet they still sounded bad.
What do I mean by awful? Well.. muddy? Not clear, clean? Like theres a layer of grease between me and the iSINEs. I compare these to EVERY other IEM that i own and all of them are more clear. ALL OF THEM. Here's an interesting point aswell. I tried them, just for giggles, in my ear without any tips on them, and even though the bass was not present at all, and sound was just sort of far away, there was more clarity? And what was there, was awesome.
Am I the insane one here or is my hearing like superhuman or something? Cause not one person mentions this. Anyhow.. if anyone could PLEASE tell me how to get the sound, the CLARITY, from these IEMs i would love that.
Sorry for long thread.
