Audeze launches new headphone – Sine-DX

Audeze – the US manufacturer of audiophile legends like the LCD-2 (and LCD-3, LCD-4, LCD-X, LCD XC, Sine, iSine, etc. etc.)… has released a second on-ear headphone utilizing their proprietary planar-magnetic driver system. The Sine-DX. According to Audeze customers have been requesting an open back version of the very successful Sine on-ear headphone. A headphone that not only sounded great but also looked the part, as it was designed by the BMW (yes, the car maker) subsidiary DesignWorksUSA.

The Sine-DX is based on the closed back Sine but features grills in the earcups. Thanks to the open-back nature and slightly improved and redesigned drivers, it is supposed to sound more spacious with a wider and deeper soundstage that also offers more separation between instruments/performers.

Audeze also promises a “hugely deep and driving bass” and “gorgeous midrange”. That sets the expectations for this $600 US headphone quite high. Good news is that with 18 Ohm and 100dB sensitivity, these headphones can be easily driven from a smartphone without using extra amplifiers.

As usual the hallmarks of Audeze are followed and the sound produced should be fatigue free and smooth. We can’t wait to hear them. Stay tuned for updates.
