The iSine series has amazing bass, I have the iSine 10, but I'd say if you have a hundred more, go for the iSine 20. I heard it is a step up from the iSine 10 in every respect and at the price it is at right now, I'd go for the iSine 20. But be warned that these will be amazing only if you have an iPhone or an iPad, since they only sound good with the included lightning cipher cable. You can get a Bluetooth cable to get the cipher experience on non iOS devices, but it is an additional $50. But I think anker makes a lightning to usb-c adapter which Audeze says will allow the cipher cable to work with android devices, so you might want to look into that. But I'd say for this price, there's no better IEM that can give you the bass that the iSines can give you.

Hmmmm... last time the EL-8s were $249 for B-stock, it was the titanium version which included a cipher cable. This time, it's the wood version and no cipher cable.

The on ear Sine headphones with the cypher cable are really good. I picked them up the last time they had one of these deals. Not the most comfortable on ear, but man, the sound quality is spectacular. I've owned the THX-00, Fidelio X2 and still have the hifiman 400i, and the Sines are a cut above the others.
iSine20 for less than 3 bills is a no brainer if dont already have end-game IEM.
I know! I am so tempted to get them, but I already have the iSine 10, so now I'm considering if splashing that money would be worth it or not. Can someone here explain how generous Adorama's return policy is?
Audeze Sine headphones suck.
I got a pair and they are the worst in terms of comfort and mediocre in sound reproduction. I had the open-back EL8 and love them.

Depends on the size of your head. Dont ruin it for people with normal heads. Ymmv
I bought the b-stock open back el8 last time. 3 months later the right driver kept cutting out. They sent me another cable to try first and even offered the ios version free of charge but I don't use apple products so I passed. That didn't solve the problem though. I had to send them in on my dime. Like 30 bucks from Illinois so not too bad. They ended up changing out both drivers for me. The whole ship and receive back process took about 2 weeks. Gotta break them in all over again but was happy with the support Audeze provided. But it makes me wonder, what does "bstock" really mean?
