Audeze iSINE 20

Unlike traditional dynamic drivers that use a cone, the iSINE 20 uses an ultra-thin diaphragm with a voice-coil covering its surface. This design allows for faster, more precise movement, resulting in significantly lower distortion and a more detailed, lifelike soundstage.

Because the iSINE 20 features a semi-open-back design, they do not provide the same level of noise isolation as sealed, noise-canceling earbuds. They are best suited for quiet listening environments where you can fully appreciate their spacious soundstage.

The CIPHER cable is an upgrade that includes a built-in DAC, amplifier, and DSP specifically tuned for the iSINE 20. It allows you to bypass your device's internal audio processing and use the Audeze iOS app to customize your sound profile in real-time.

The iSINE 20 comes with a variety of ear hooks and silicone tips to help you achieve a stable, personalized fit. While they are designed for high-fidelity listening rather than intense exercise, the included accessories allow for a secure hold for most users.

With an impedance of 24 ohms, these headphones are efficient enough to be driven by most smartphones and laptops. However, using a high-quality external DAC or the optional CIPHER cable will provide better power delivery and clarity.

Each earpiece weighs 11 grams, making them lightweight enough for extended listening sessions. The ergonomic design helps distribute this weight comfortably across the ear.
