Audeze iSine 10 in-ear headphones look funky, but sound fantastic

2017-03-03
this is aa disease I sign ten which is one of the stranger looking in your headphones available but it's also one of the best sounding I've ever heard the reason the headphones look a little like a Star Wars TIE fighter that they use the companies 30 millimeter planner magnetic drivers which tend to sound very coherent and spacious low distortion and until now I've only been found in models that have full-sized ear cups the eye sign 10 which cost $400 has an open back design so it doesn't cut you off from the outside world but that also means it doesn't hush external noise and also leak sound so this isn't the best headphone to use in an open office environment the headphone comes with two cables a standard one fitted with a 3.5 millimeter plug and an apple certified cypher lightning cable that takes digital audio directly from your iOS device and uses the cables built-in digital converter and headphone amplifier using the cypher cable the headphone plays significantly louder and does sound better overall the only problem is the inline remote is heavy and not great to walk around with in the not-so-distant future we expect that a second-generation cypher cable with a smaller inline remote will become available but this is what you get for the time being while the I sign looks a little funky I did manage to get a tight seal using the largest of the buds included with the headphone and I got the headphone to sit securely in place using one of the detachable ear hooks that's also included except for the weight of the inline remote tugging downward the headphones fit me comfortably though they may not fit everyone as well as they did me there's an Aussie DSP app that features a 10-man equalizer that changes EQ in real time but you don't have to use that app to get great sound this is a very clear sounding headphone that goes deep delivering clear articulated bass natural mid-range and very finely tuned trouble it's also a very open spacious sounding headphone it's worth noting that ozzie sells a step up I sign 20 for $600 that is a longer voice coil and other improvements that allow for even more transparent detailed sound in the end this headphones design isn't for everybody it's obviously pretty pricey but the I sign 10 does deliver exceptionally good sound it's well worth listening to if you get a chance to hear it I'm be carnally for cnet.com thanks for watching
