Verdict

The Audeze Sine is a premium closed-back, on-ear headphone featuring large 80 x 70mm planar magnetic drivers equipped with Fluxor magnet arrays and Uniforce diaphragms for high efficiency and ultra-low distortion (<1% THD). These headphones offer a wide frequency response of 10Hz to 50kHz and a low 20-ohm impedance, making them easily drivable by portable devices and enhanced by the optional 24-bit Cipher Lightning cable with integrated DAC/AMP. Known for a balanced, transparent sound signature with tight bass and highly detailed mids, they are housed in a durable, foldable aluminum frame designed by BMW Designworks. Main pros include its exceptional clarity, industrial build quality, and extreme portability for a planar magnetic design; however, common cons include high clamping force that can lead to discomfort during long sessions, limited soundstage due to the closed on-ear design, and a sound profile that is brutally unforgiving of poor recordings.
