sound would be a big departure

big lack of presence in the upper midrange
bulky and heavy build quality
not portable and do not have a control scheme for mobile devices

unstable and not suitable for sports or to use outdoors
The noise isolation of the LCD 2 Classic is poor
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
There s not enough flex in the band to really support extended listening
lack of wood cups and a hard travel case
word gets overused a lot in the audio world
the height adjustment brackets are clunky and annoying and stupid
height adjustment brackets are still very difficult to use
the pads are glued on
it would be a highly repetitive affair
spectacularly low harmonic distortion
lack a little aggression for faster paced music
needn t have to turn the volume knob down right away
The overtones of some instruments and vocals are noticeably reduced
no bells or whistles in any shape
no carry case included
no second cable
no adapters
the headphone starts to sound way too bright
the headphone is simply less bright
freakishly heavy it is
2014 - Infinity Home Studio Basics
too large and bulky and end up just being a bit
bass-focused music
a bit heavier which is another factor in the increased weight
