I have the LCD X, and have had LCD2s. Thought both were perfectly fine for long sessions. The whole “audeze are so heavy you need to do neck workouts” meme is super over exaggerated on this sub.

Audeze is on a different level

Final e5000 begs to differ

Good shit. Didn’t expect something like that from apple tbh. I have it on my iPhone and windows. I don’t see any indication of my music being lossless on windows which is why I made the comment.

I thought lossless is only available on iPhone as of right now?

Give all back except the AirPods and get a pair of E-MU teaks

DT990, AD700x are really good open backs for gaming

Looks really nice man

Genuinely speaking: no.

In a more technical sense: fuck no

The LCD2 is absolutely not “mid fi” lol

I keep up with dudes who review chi fi stuff, but I’ve never bought any because the Z1r, e5000, and ie600 exist

I’m calling cap on the first part… no chance he “avoided listening to headphones” in general lol

Sweet desk and system though 🔥

Properly eq’d LCD 2Cs and LCDXs are some of the best headphones I’ve heard at their respective price points. The LCD series in general responds very well to EQ.

Solid take. A lot of headphones don’t respond well to EQ.

Wishing more people could just have this take and we could all move along lmao. I’ve seen so many posts about EQ during the 15 years I’ve been into the hobby, and it’s crazy to me how controversial it is.

Nobody is offended. Saying eq takes the variety out, and that it messes up what makes a headphone unique is just completely untrue. You’re never going to get one headphone to sound like another and there are more factors than FR that affect this. Proper EQ is mostly used to slightly smooth out anomalies and issues from the factory tuning, and sometimes even bring out the unique qualities the headphone presents. While it’s not the “end all be all” some people think it is, It’s a very useful tool if you have the time for it. Try giving it a fair shot when you have the time 👍

Also, people seem to think you have to use someone else’s preset eq for the best results. This is also false. EQ is an art imo (which is why it’s so time consuming). You have a great amount of freedom to make your headphone sound the most enjoyable if that’s the route you want to go.

That’s why you EQ how you want (or not at all).

EQ doesn’t really change what makes a headphone unique. Properly EQing a headphone makes up for anomalies and shortcomings in the FR. You’re never going to get an LCD2 to sound like an hd800, if you get what I’m saying.

I may pull the trigger on the elites too. They sound awesome!

The LCD-X really is great. Definitely not for everyone due to their analytical signature. It becomes way more coherent once you eq though. From what I’ve read and experienced they’re some of the best responding headphones to a proper eq curve.

If you’re only using them for near field, they’re very good. You’d be hard pressed to find better for the price. If you’re still worried you could save up for the tier above these and get the 6.5” model too, but I’d just go with “the ones” series at that price tbh.

The 305s were a nice monitor for the price. Looked cool, got very loud, and stayed coherent when playing at high volumes. The imaging was so good, it’s the main thing I remember even after years of not hearing them. I didn’t hear the mkii model though, but I can assume it still kicks ass for the price.

Crazy you’re still on here lol. Saw you commenting all the time back when I started using Reddit around 2012 (had a different account)

They’re damn sexy in their own way. They look uglier in pictures, but they’re a really nice piece of kit once you see them in person.

Adams are really nice though. Love the A7x! Very dynamic monitor.

No worries:)

And yeah, That Scandinavian design aesthetic is always on point 👌

Haha yessir, Sewerslvt is the shit 🔥

(I will also continue to love lain)
