Thank you for doing this video on the tech behind these instruments, helps put your other videos into perspective and gives context. Another thing that was very interesting was touching on the limitations of current tech helps one understand when someone is overcharging without added value.
Very informative video. I own the iSine 10s myself and I love them. In regards to the EQ, Audeze released an upgraded Cipher cable that conforms to the new MFi standards that Apple implemented. Audeze says it just allows for more power from the lightning port, but I also noticed they tweaked the EQ to be much more balanced at base level (without adjustments). I don’t think it’s on their website, but if you email them they will sell you it. It’s also much lighter than the original, the DAC being plastic instead of metal. On another note, the me1s were far too mid-forward to my ears for enjoyable listening. They were very detailed, and incredibly well built, but I just couldn’t hear much past the mids. I’d like to hear what they sound like after some EQ tweaks.
Thanks. I am a Android based person so I walk the EQ jungle because I have to. The ME.1 are much improved by a reduction at 1Khz and a boost at 4Khz and some bass ( for me)
My first and best pair of iems are Sony Xb90ex's that Hawaiibadboy on headfi recommended me for bass on a budget but they turned out to have pretty great mids and soundstage too 😃
Interesting video, thanks. I have the iSine 10's. I'm not a huge fan of them with my Shozy Alien+ but watching this suggests I could get a better result by using the EQ options on my Android DAP and/or phone. I'd be interested to know how you tweak yours for the iSine 20?
Post #1250 has a good start point visually. bass up maybe shelved 250Hz and a dip from 500-1kHz and an big boost around 4Khz. I will do a video review and share my own eq but until then here is the postwww.head-fi.org/threads/audeze-isine-10-isine-20-audeze-releases-two-new-iem-planar-magnetic-earphones.818870/page-84
Great review - how’s the comfort on those Audeze? And where to use them I mean not outside since they’re open and inside might as well get over ear for the same price..
Comfort varies from person to person. They where ok for my but the driver housing touched my ear causing discomfet after extended use. I recently picked upsome SYMBIO W Wide Bore Silicone+Memory Foam Hybrid ear tips and the now sit further our so it no longer touches my ears and are more comfortable for me. Yes, they are open but not they are small (relative to normal open headphones) and I use them outside and at the gym with little issues. Of course at low volumes you will hear more of you environment that with traditional isolating IEMs. Leakage on this small drivers is also generally a non-issue, you have to be in a very quite environment and have high volume for other to be able to take notice. Even indoors at my desk I will often use the iSon's because how easy they are to wear vs my larger planar and other over-ear headphones.
a million reviews out there on this iem, that iem - but I found your review the most helpful so far - BTW - I personally prefer IEM's to full size over ear - more accurate, more detail - also I live in a hot, humid climate and I find full size cans become hot & sweaty after wearing them for a while and the ear pads don't last long and can be expensive to replace - how would you compare Sax SRS 002 to Audeze i-sine 20 ? - thnx' for upload - greetings from Philippines
Hey ! I saw your review for the fiio fh1 then almost fixed it.. but then I bumped into this video... This has got me confused once again.. will it me too much of a compromise in mids and treble if I get the fiio fh1 ?? I already own two pairs of earphones now.. and the reason that I'm looking for an update is that I'm really looking forward to listening some high quality detailed music..
No the quality of hybrid tuning has gotten a lot better recently. If detail is the biggest point a set of U.M. ME.1 would be best. More money though. I actually like the FH1 very much.
Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews woah ! That's a lot of money !!! Maybe I'll get isine lx someday.. I'm just getting into the audiophile grade music now and really liking it .. but just can't let go of the bass yet :D Anyway great reviews man ! You've been really helpful !! ..Should I get a fiio a1 or a3 amp as well for the fh1.. I'll be using it on the OnePlus 3T ?
do you have any idea on what third party ear tips are compatible with isine 20? i got it last week but the tips are too big. hmmm maybe its the tunnel itself which is big. thanks!
I am using the groovy tips. Try some small comply for comfort. Not sure which brands are being used as an alternative? Head-Fi has a thread on the Audeze and asking in there would probably yield some info :)
I believe the nozzle is 7mm so you can use anything that works with that. I have tiny ear holes so I use small comply 600s. Groovy tips work well too. Unlike most other iems, you don’t have to push the tips deep in your ear, just get a good seal in the opening.
I've used the groovey tips originally but recently switched to the SYMBIO W Wide Bore Silicone+Memory Foam hybrid. It's a tight fit but it works I don't find them to sound much different, but find they provide more comfort to me. Because they don't slide in far on the nozzle and keep the driver housing further out so they don't touch my ear and don't cause discomfort.
I heard that at a shop so no real impression besides it sounded lean and thin but it was playing Jazz and i had no control or way of seeing if it was being processed in some way
K thank you, i'll listen to both the isine20 and the stax in a bit, while i got them here. since im debating buying one of them and i'll also have a pair of shure kse1500 at the same time so wish me luck i dont end up buying those... ;P
Also try the monoprice planar. My job is just talking about items and giving good rec's. Saving money is always a good rec. Never heard them myself but cheap and maybe awesome? Try em if you can
yeah i'm aware but i dont like the design or the audeze-imitation. dont rly care how they sound. thank you for the tip though i saw a review about them and the guy said they were better than the audeze's who knows though
I am not a fan of the blatant rip off but i have no idea what companies own who and sometimes rivals are not so much. However, it seems on it's face a blatant rip.
Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews I’m still a novice to EQing but the cipher cable seems to solve the issue on the iSine 10 listening to tidal on an iphone like everyone else says. I’m planning to get some 2-pin to mmcx adapters to try the cable with the m300s which seem to share the same issue. It would be nice if Audeze had designed a cipher cable that could be programmed with a usb cord to the remote by computer with a 3.5mm connector and include the 3.5mm to lightning connector for ios or usb connector for other devices. Then you could lock in the EQ settings internally and use it with almost any device, not just ios. In general, I agree with your overall assessment of the different types of iems. I also own a pair of sony 7550s which I like a lot. I’m still learning though.
You are living the high life :) I'm a droid user and we are in the jungle right now. The Sony EX 800/7550 and 1000 are the finest dynamic driver IEM ever made IMO. Sony makes lots of crap but the team that made that earned their money...unless they made the cable too...then i take that back. Such awesome IEM and such crap cable. I got customs for both my EX. Like a bucket list item crossed off.
korling99, and how about the sound quality of the M300? I'm almost buying one, but the opinions are all differents. Some say that they are incredible, others say that have many problems and only became nice with eq. Can you compare it with your iSine?
Frederico Silva Vieira Veloso I’m still a beginner audiophile, but they sounded good to me out of the box playing high res files from an Aune M1s player - rock and jazz. The biggest problem with the m300s is the fit. As others on head-fi, I bought the groovy kit from Audeze and it worked, not the most comfortable, but not bad. With an iphone using Tidal, the isines with cipher cable (built in eq settings) sounds better than the m300s. If you aren’t using an ios device, the isines will require eq’ing also. For the price, it’s worth a try depending on your playback device. Should be easy to sell if it’s not your cup of tea. I’m keeping both for sure. Biggest issue with m300s is fit, but if you look on head-fi, there are ways to fix it with minor mods or get the groovy kit from Audeze.
I have designed a Hybrid which has solved this problem:) I have a custom IEM which I have worked out with my friend the killer IEM. I am testing it now. Listening is believing. We started with the dynamic drivers (5) and added BAs to reach a good treble. I am now tweaking the bass. I wish I can send it to you to hear it.
@@greaterbayareahero1401 never heard anyone do such a thing for their own personal use. Sounds interesting man! Are you an engineer? You should probably make a UA-cam video or something.
Danu makes on and it has a switch to go strait planar or go planar and ba driver together but when you run both it can get fatiguing on the treble side of things but if you are older and have lost some high frequency hearing they are spectacular
So do any of planar beat the crap out of the head like the ASG 2.5 did? Or what would be the best value under 700$ with an iPhone. I know that may sounds stupid, but I just don't want another bulky EQ device in my pocket. Thanks for your reviews, I'm realy hangig up on your channel now.
I just bought Pioneer SE-CX8, and I wonder if I should purchase EX1000, XB90EX, or used 2.5 too. Just looking for the best allrounder with massive bass, to use with iPhone.
Recently purchased Shure 846 and sent them back after a week. I was never more disappointed. Even my RHA T10 sound more emotional and has groundshaking bass, than this sh*t for 800$...
Did you have the 2.5? They shake ear wax out pretty good. Radius NHR21(?) also have excellent sub bass kick. I would get used 2.5 for best BANG for buck. The others are good and have quality but not quantity so much like the 2.5 with dials open
I have only RHA T10, and had Shure 846 and Rose Cappuccino MKII 2. RHA T10 is still my favorite for trap and deep house listening. I found some 2.5 on ebay in my favorite Brushed Nickel exterior, for 1000$ + tax shipping to Germany... Is it worth it? putting that money once and be happy with perfect sound forever? Or I may look for some newer up-to-date IEMs, available in stores with the same thunder bass, and the clarity... I have also a concern if my iPhone is enough to kick ass with 2.5? May I better buy Kicker that don't require AMP so sound good, or else what... I'm fkng frustrated man, but I want great sound, that's something that enhances your life quality, I belive. And you seem to have huge experience and a similar taste as me. Thanks man, you are making great content and I appreciate your feedback!
Just tried my new Pioneer SE-CX8. That's a dirty dynamic driver, a lot of movement, very loud. Just club beats, like 99% of porn... Zero emotions... Not for my taste. I still prefer my old RHA 10, they are amazing...
Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews haha you got me wrong buddy ^^ I was referring to Ali g movie where he tries to spell respect and ends up with restecpe or something x)
FYI the iSine 20 is $549 and $599 with thy Cipher cable (you get both the 3.5mm and the iDevice Cipher cable). The iSine 10 is $349 and $399. PS I enjoy my iSine 10 greatly for their quality linear bass, but I do like to add bass quantity with EQ. I do wish Audeze will eventually develop a cipher cable and app for USB-C devices (but I understand having one that will work universally across Android manufacturers is an issue, hopefully in the future that will be remedied). PSS FIRST!
Thanks, i musta been thinking about the i10? whoops ;) I'm cool with eq but a refinement of the tech will be a welcome event. Clarity is #1 in the IEM market (planar)
Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews I'm a big fan of planar bass. The iSine's have a big brother in the $2495.00 LCD-i4. I'd really like to hear what those sound like and hear what they bring to the table relative to their iSine little brothers.
Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews the iSines do have excellent clarity, but I’d be hard pressed to say they are the best in the iem world, clarity-wise. It could just be that I have young ears, but I hear an audible step-up in clarity with something like the Noble Kaiser Encore.
I suppose (I've never heard them) but the Noble Kaiser Encore cost something like $1200 more. So I'm ok with that. I can't afford $1850 IEMs. I've had some Shure SE846s and Jerry Harvey Roxanne's (picked up used due to cost) and I still think I prefer my iSine 10s. I just really like planar bass, it's so Clean and extend.
My Sony EX1000 are my fave's until I can figure out the tweaks fr these Planar. I come from Car audio and am surrounded by DD all the time so i love em too.
Sir, I love your video, it's more informative than most on yt' - you explain complex details in simple terms - but please Sir, keep your barking dog out of it - it's very distracting
"flagship don't mean shit to me"

Great barking sound...the mids are well barked.
Very informative video. Great work.
I love headphones and iems. I love your channel
Thanks!
It would be great if you could make an update about this
Great Review!
Thank you for the education!
@bad guy, what do you think of flc 8s vs isine 20/10
I saw your new "Basshead list" video and now this one. If this video is still correct, I guess the planars will be really high on the basshead chart.
Them doggos though!
Do tribrids compete with planar for that separation?
Very informative video. I own the iSine 10s myself and I love them.
In regards to the EQ, Audeze released an upgraded Cipher cable that conforms to the new MFi standards that Apple implemented.

Alex Darger cipher cable makes all the difference in the world.
I thought a single full range would sound better than using separate drivers with crossovers.
"Flagships don't mean shit to me." True reviewer shit right here.
Thanks for a very detailed video. Been trying to get myself into IEMs but without any success so far, since there are so many possibilities....
There is tons and tons of crap...metric tons produced daily. Some great stuff but mostly crap IMO
My first and best pair of iems are Sony Xb90ex's that Hawaiibadboy on headfi recommended me for bass on a budget but they turned out to have pretty great mids and soundstage too 😃
Just a question are you the guy on headfi that recommended me the XB90EX Sony iem a few years back? If so thanks they are amazing 😄
Yup, Bad Guy Good Audio = HawaiiBadBoy.
Yup that was me. I got mine re-cabled..cuz I love em.

Excellent, thanks. I'll try that when I get home. I'll keep an eye out for your video on it too.
Great review - how’s the comfort on those Audeze? And where to use them I mean not outside since they’re open and inside might as well get over ear for the same price..
They fit awesome. Those earhooks could use some foam or rubber tube for better long term comfort though. I use at home.
Comfort varies from person to person. They where ok for my but the driver housing touched my ear causing discomfet after extended use. I recently picked upsome SYMBIO W Wide Bore Silicone+Memory Foam Hybrid ear tips and the now sit further our so it no longer touches my ears and are more comfortable for me.

Even indoors at my desk I will often use the iSon's because how easy they are to wear vs my larger planar and other over-ear headphones.
between the fiio f9 and the kinera h3 which do you think i should choose. these will be my first hifi monitors. ps i have the fiio 3 sec gen
I would say the F9. For an almost perfect balance sound delivery use the 8Khz EQ slider and lower it 2-3dB and it is excellent.
can you write every iems in your video please
8:33 what kind of IEM is in the center?
Thanks
DugDugi 22 that looks like the shozy hibiki.

I agree completely - I just recently bought the iSine 10 and m300
What is the main weak point in the frequency of the 300? in your opinion.
