All around me, straphangers gripped smartphones and listened to multicolored Beats, noise-canceling Boses, white Apple earbuds, and, only rarely, Sennheisers and Grados.Read more

            These headphones are suitable only for home use as they are bulky and heavy. The weight of Audeze LCD-4 is 735 g, while the model LCD-3 is a little lighter and weighs 635 g. These devices feel quite comfortable on the head as they have an adjustable headband with soft padding in the case with Audeze LCD-3.May 4, 2020

            LCD-3 has one of the most seducing mids in any headphones I've heard, and while they were such mostly because of the euphonic tonality and flowing nature, LCD-4 keeps them seducing but because of other reasons like realistic tonality, incredible detail and transparency.Apr 4, 2016

            Comfort and design The weight of Audeze LCD-4 is 735 g, while the model LCD-3 is a little lighter and weighs 635 g. These devices feel quite comfortable on the head as they have an adjustable headband with soft padding in the case with Audeze LCD-3. Another good news is that you get these appliances with a carry case.May 4, 2020
