Conversely, for the price, I'd say the build is excellent.

I would say it's weird to use records for display.

There's a lot of people saying "yeah it's cool bro, your money your choice" but coming at it as someone who listens to vinyl;

Fuck off. Prices are already sky-high, if you aren't going to be listening to it, then you're just artificially pushing the price up so you can put it on a shelf. Go buy the CD, buy some merch, buy some tickets, do something with utility, don't blindly consume just because you like the aesthetic. Leave it for someone who will use the record for its intended purpose.

And yes, I take the same view with every "collectable".

I picked up a pair of LCD-GX during the B-Stock sale last year! I use them at my desktop with a Topping DX5, and they are certainly the best all-rounder headphones I own. The imaging and general directionality is a godsend in games, and the tuning is perfect for music listening. Plus, they're light enough to be comfortable for hours of use! My old LCD2s are not comfy, at all.

If you haven't already, you should buy one of Apple's Lightning to 3.5mm dongles. That would be the best way to listen from your phone. Plus, these are super efficient headphones, so you will have no problems driving them off it.

Why remove the cable?

I grabbed LCD-GX in the sale a couple weeks ago. There is some very small cosmetic damage, I had to get real close to find it.

You just need an amp that can drive headphones louder.
