These are sweet.

I rolled the dice on these because I usually buy good headphones used, but when these are on sale, it's worth it to buy new. Sound: Absolutely wonderful with the cipher cable. There is an immediacy with the sound compared to the more laid back, but equally detailed sound of the HIFIMan 400i. The 400i is a more comfortable headphone, but man, the sound on these is addictive. These don't have the kind of open, airy soundstage that the 400i has, but again, the sound quality and punchy, lively sound really is a treat. I tried the headphone without the cipher cable and it's still good, but Audeze tuned the DAC/AMP in the cipher cable really well to give the headphones the sound they have. The built in EQ is really good and very easy to get what you're wanting more of. Kind of like the way THX car systems keep you out of trouble and from clipping the sound, it seems like Audeze gave that characteristic to the EQ. I also like how EQ settings stay with the DAC/AMP cipher cable, so when I switch to listening on the ipad, the settings come with me and are not married to the device. Sorry for sounding like a damn ad, but these really are solid headphones despite the on ear/comfort issues you might have. They're not the most comfortable, but they're not awful either, and the tradeoff in value and sound quality is worth it. Highly recommended with the Cipher cable!

A real Audiophile headphones

The best headphones ever head for audiophiles and I have quite a few. I have connected them To an A&K KANN player and the sound great much more than my sennhiser momentum, my beyerdynamic DT770, DT1770, DT990, custom, AKG AK712 and the list goes on. I finally found my favorite headphones which are satisfactory to my taste.

Poor sound on iPhone and uncomfortable fit

Poor sound on iPhone 7 (the reason why I bought it). Just ended up being soft, despite supposedly containing an amp. My good ole $60 Sennheisers sounded better. Very uncomfortable fit, couldn't wear for longer than 10 minutes. Also glitched out on me a couple of times, made a wry loud squealing noise for a couple of minutes in the right earphone, or sometimes no sound at all. Overall was a very poor experience, not at all worth the high price. I'll stick with my old cheap headphones.

Really good headphones!

I really like these headphones. I can hear all of the nuance in the tracks and they have a great sound. The ear pads are comfortable for about an hour and a half before they start to hurt. I would compare these favorably to my Sennheiser 580 and 600s, Telefunken, Grado, Klipsch, Sony and Beats. The newer technology doesn't cost much in the tonal quality and they have more resonance. They help you separate your good music from your mp3s. I had to upgrade my Apple library to make the music acceptable for these!

quality full range yet compact planar magnetic head phones

I love planar magnetic speakers like Magnepan and headphones like my hifiman he-500 so I expected to like these. the audeze sine headphones have amazingly broad response, very low and high, very quick. build quality and design is awesome. the closed on ear sine approach is not as "airy" as the hifiman he-500 but they are much more compact and cost me ($) less. they also would not bother the person next to you. I tested them with players and formats of greater resolution than CD, not my iphone or ipad as yet so I could only speculate on the lightning cable with built in DAC. nice to have extra cable with typical format.

this deal was too good to pass up

I have more experience reading reviews of headphone as opposed to listening to a lot of them. However, this deal was too good to pass up....given the reviews. They would only be better if they were wireless. I have a Woo Wa7 tube amp/dac and nothing has ever sounded better....from my otherwise not so audiophile system.

Fantastic sound , compact on ear. Great customer service

Arrived on time. Good customer service. The Audeze sine is a great sounding on ear. Sound stage is a bit small, but precision accuracy and detail are unbelievable . Clamping force on ear a little high, but not uncomfortable

The world's first planar magnetic on-ear headphone, the SINE DX is a blend of striking modern industrial design, top-quality build and leading-edge planar magnetic technology. It's engineered for top-quality Audeze sound in a lighter, comfortable, on-ear headphone. Its sturdy aluminum frame and fold-flat design make it perfect for travel. The SINE DX shares the industrial design of the original SINE by our strategic partner DesignWorks, a BMW group subsidiary, but with a different driver and open-back sound. This new driver has improved bass response (lower and flatter), wider soundstage, and re-voiced midrange. While the regular SINE was geared towards Lifestyle and Apple users, the SINE DX is truly the audiophile's on-ear headphone - the best sounding on-ear in the world.

The SINE Series headphone is the next step up for many conventional headphone users. The world s first on-ear planar magnetic is a blend of striking modern industrial design, top-quality build, and leading-edge planar magnetic technology. The SINE is lightweight, folds flat for easy travel, and available with our optional CIPHER Lightning cable with integrated DAC/AMP with DSP. Its accurate sound makes the SINE popular with creators worldwide at home, in recording studios, home studios, editing bays, and working on the road.

Near zero distortion
Patented Uniforce voice-coil technology delivers a uniform driving force across the entire diaphragm for near zero distortion.

Nearly double the magnetic driving force
Patented Fluxor Magnet Arrays focus the magnetic flux nearly doubling the power driving the diaphragm for even lower distortion and greater accuracy.

Internal soundwaves
Patented Fazor Elements guide internal headphone soundwaves to avoid resonance producing a more accurate waveform.

The world s first 24-bit Lightning cable for higher-resolution sound
Immerse yourself in sound with Audeze s one-of-a-kind CIPHER cable for a significant upgrade to your listening experience. It features an inline system-on-a-chip that drives your music to levels you never dreamed of by bypassing the iPhone s internal DAC and amplifier and streaming high-resolution audio to our high-quality DAC with DSP for significantly better sound quality.The Cipher cable also features a SIRI-compatible microphone for voice calls.

Customize your sound in real-time with the Audeze iOS App
The Audeze DSP app features two presets to personalize your music playback. It features a 10-band equalizer that changes EQ in real time. Refine the bass levels and tamp down the highs on peaky recordings you still love. Save two EQ curve presets that travel with the cable when switching devices.

The earcups are handcrafted with smooth, flawless genuine leather with carefully matched, hand-picked earpads for best sound and maximum comfort.
