Audeze Cipher Bluetooth Module

Very happy with them so far, great sound when used with aptX and aptX-HD capable devices.One concern I have is the connectors tend to come off rather easily, I’m a bit afraid I might lose an iSine when left hanging on the neck.

I've had the cipher bluetooth cable for two weeks, and the iSine10 for about a month. I love the 10s, but the 3.5mm connector doesn't sound great compared to a cipher connection. Thankfully, the bluetooth cable solves this - I'm quite impressed with the quality, especially over aptx/aptx hd connections. The battery life seems to be longer than the 8-ish hours listed - I haven't fully drained mine to test it, but based on the drain I'm experiencing, it seems to last 10-12, maybe more. I appreciate that there is a unit on both sides of the cable, as it feels much more balanced than similar setups I've used on other headphones. My only complaint is that the cable charges via micro-usb instead of usb-c, but this is a minor issue, and not enough to detract from my overall 5-star rating.

Using with a set of Moondrop Blessings and the sound quality is on par with that from my Fiio X3. No hiss or noise as present on other cables I've tried. This cable has no problem driving them; bass through highs sound as they should for the headphones. My phone detects it as AptX-HD 24bit 48kHz. Build quality is great, nothing to complain about.

While this is incredibly helpful to be wireless with my ISINE 10s, one of the best parts about using the cipher cable was the ability to use the EQ. These headphones EQ better than any headphones on the planet and not being able to utilize this as an option is a drawback. Hopefully, they will create a separate app at some point.

These sound great! They paired quickly to my iPhone and Astell and Kern SR15. But.... the left connector keeps coming unplugged from the the IEM. Very annoying. I believe it’s due to the weight of the inline controls that could be contributing to this happening. I do not have an issue with the wired option. Thinking about returning them

If it were not for one quirk, I would give this five stars. It's comfortably light, even if its connected nature is inherently less convenient than true wireless, and the music sound quality on my (entry level) iSINE LXs is great; concise bass, clear midrange transients and decent treble, none of it overboosted. I haven't had occasion to make a call with them, so can't comment on quality of phone use.The quirk is that you can't use the iSINEs as standby, always in, earphones with this module, as it shuts down and disconnects after about five minutes of non-use, and apparently this cannot be disabled. I wear my Air Pods without necessarily playing music, in case I get a telephone call, which I can then answer without having to manipulate the phone; in addition, I can make a call on them when in standby, just by engaging Siri by touching the earbud. The auto-shutdown "feature" renders the Cipher module completely impractical as an all-the-time use product, unless you listen to music/podcasts/whatever every minute that they're in. If you do, then five stars for you. If not, and you use ear buds for hands-free calling, e.g. while driving in your Flintstone-era non-bluetoothed car, these simply won't do it.So, preliminary judgment is that for those times I'm going to do nothing but listen to music, it's great, but it makes little sense to me to carry two sets of ear buds around, one for general use and the other for music, and to switch them in and out depending.So two stars off, and three off for value; it would have been a lower rating except for respect for its quality as a music-only device. Pity that such a flaw would cripple it, and especially a flaw that you would assume could easily have been done differently in the design stage.

Like the other reviewers, mine constantly disconnects. Contacted Audeze, they said unfortunately since this is made by a 3rd party for them, they can not change the powersavings time out. So if you stop listening to music or get off a call for say 3 minutes, the cable turns off. Terrible design...But as to the sound, almost as good as the wired cipher cable

I have the isine 10 and 20 and the lcd i4. This is way too underpowered for the lcd i4, which is what I plan on keeping. I'm selling my isine 10s and 20s.
