bass sound a bit anemic or lacking in substance
wear glasses
dark or somewhat dark-sounding headphones
The LCD-X does not fold for storage in any way
The height or width is not very far off
stereo width is a bit narrow
The Harman Curve is too bright for me
only makes planar magnetic headphones
the driver construction is otherwise the same
Defeats the purpose of being suspended
Equalization The sound out of box is quite boring and bland
headphone measurements are less exact than speakers mostly in bass
very sensitive to how the pads fit your head
lock the setting into place and cannot be slid
it doesn t feel delicate or prone to tears
lack of coloration in the midrange and treble
the headband had not yet assumed a suspension design
of the human voice or audio signals of distorted instruments ever slip into the foreground when
do without slick wooden housing and polished metal accents
headphones seems rather high
personal preference and limited experiences

It may not display this or other websites correctly
Hi-Fi lies a very awkward price range
Headphones simply cannot adequately mimic surround sound speakers
The headband adjustments are a bit odd
LCD-X breaks this trend to some degree
Headphone manufacturers are really weird
not cheap plastic but real carbon fiber
Nothing feels cramped
congested
not class it as overly dry or shallow
LCD-XC 2021 mold does not incorporate the connector housing
it is no longer a silver metal finish
LCD-X is a bit more expensive than the Ananda
the lack of mass on these new headphones
this bass hit just as hard
lack of visible screws holding the gimbals in place which are now
LCD headphones were simply too heavy to wear for long periods

Audeze LCD-X headphones

I well remember my first "real" headphones: a pair of Koss Pro4AAs that I bought back in 1970. The Kosses were relatively expensive, but, like headphones today, they allowed an audiophile with limited cash to get a taste of high-end sound that was not possible with a speaker-based system. I bought the Pro4AAs because I had become fascinated with how the images of the instruments and singers were strung along a line between my ears inside my head. It seemed so much more intimatea more direct connection with the musicthan playback through loudspeakers.
