> 3 dayLove 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.

> 3 dayIve started to notice after several hours of listening time that my right ear is now touching the right fazor (plastic grill) on the headphone and causes great discomfort. Ive looked online and this is a known issue with audezes LCD line. Its surprising that people have had issues with the exact same thing and yet dont fix their pads. Ive contacted support and was told that there was nothing they can do. I dont have giant ears and they are quite normal. When I glance at the pads the right padding seems thinner than the left pad. Also not to mention that the pelican case that comes with the headphone is missing a rubber foot so when its placed on a flat surface it wobbles.

> 3 dayI used to think typical good value audiophile headphones all sounded decent (beyerdynamic dt990 250ohm) but they all sounded the same to me. The day I put these on after they came in was the day I felt my hair crease due to my inability to take these off. I have never heard something so close to a live concert experience wearing headphones or listening to speakers. With these, you wont need to research 192kb lossless, because mp3s on these sound better than lossless on any other headphone. Adding lossless to these and you feel something magical. The sound quality of the mids is surreal and the bass is extremely fast with no bleed due to the amazing planar magnetics, not to mention the highs are bright enough but never overwhelming. Soundstage isnt insane, but with the clarity and paring of balanced cables, good dac and amp, it will show through. Build quality is extremely good, all metal build feels very sturdy but can be much heavier than expected. Some people say they cant have these on for more than an hour but I can easily wear these for over 5 without a need to take them off. Sometimes it needs adjustments due to my larger ears touching the fazors on the inside but nevertheless a great lounging or chilling headphone. Watching movies with these feels better than an actual movie theater where sound intimacy is at the highest. Make sure you EQ these if you get them, theres quite a few EQ settings for these and they all make it better than new. The cables it comes with are expensive and seemingly fragile so keep them from kinking or pulling, otherwise opt in for some balanced XLR cables off amazon or somewhere else. Dont believe what other reviewers say when these arent endgame headphones, I dont ever see myself spending 5x the price of these for 5% more quality especially with the advantage these have over typical 500$ headphones. If you ARENT a hypercritical audiophile, buy these and dont look anywhere else, you will find yourself in a rabbit hole spending money like a kid in a candy store.

> 3 dayis 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!
