Audeze LCD-X Over Ear Open Back Headphone New 2021 Version Creator Package with Carry case

This is the “best tuned” Audeze IMHO, it’s the closest to a Focal Clear MG in terms of neutrality and accuracy on the frequency response. However it contains a better wider and bigger soundstage.

This thing is built like a tank, you could use it for self-defense its so strong. Its heavy enough to feel the weight when I turn my head but honestly, I love it. Ive gotten used to it. The weight kinda reminds me to lay back and listen. Its pretty comfortable with the leather strap and squishy earpads despite the weight. It looks like its built to last a century. Its like one of those they dont make em like they used to kinda products from the 1950s. 5/5 durability

Well built but muddy sounding, with little high-frequency detail. Very heavy and uncomfortable.

Love the sound and build quality. What I can’t understand is why they hurt so bad on my ears. Within a couple of minutes I’m in agony. Audeze sent replacement pads to see if that might help but they are exactly the same as the ones that came with the headphone. The pads cave in and have very little foam on the inside. The metal headband sits right on your head. The leather strap is useless because there is no gap between it and the metal headband. I have several Audeze LCD headphones and these are the first to cause such pain.

I have been a headphone guy for the past several years, an audio guy for over four decades and a music lover since I was a child growing up in the 1960s. The headphone craze began for me back in the later 90s while working a second shift job because my wife and newborn would be sleeping when I arrived home and I was unable to immediately go to sleep but didnt want to wake them. Over the years I have amassed a small collection of headphones, all good, but the LCD-X is INSANE!

is a little heavy. With my big noggin Ive literally maxed out the rods to fit on my head. Very comfortable as the weight is well-distributed. However youll feel it after a few hours. Overall theyre sound fantastic, a little dark which Id preferred. Theyre good for any genre of music. Good little investment if youre enjoy music during quiet nights OR days. Comes highly recommended!

These do not sound good at all without correction EQ. But with correction they are very impressive and it is possible to do high end content creation exclusively with these as the monitoring solution. They are also very heavy, but for me quite comfortable none the less. Unfortunately Amazon does not allow pointing to a place to get free correction EQ so those interested will have to search for it on the net.
