Audeze LCD-X Over Ear Open Back Headphone new 2021 version Creator Package with carry case

Product Information

They both have equally good detail retrieval but HD800S has stronger, more forward instrument definition. Nothing crunches, or honks, or sizzles; instead, the music is just delivered to your ears with more authority and power.

Clear on the other hand is the more comfortable headphone since it is substantially lighter at around 450g vs LCD-X 2021's 612g. So, the original LCD-X wasn’t really a comfortable pair of headphones, mainly because of its weight and headband construction. Going back and listening to my work that has been done since starting with the Hifimans, I only heard about 25% that I wouldn’t go back and change something on now if I could. This comparison is very similar to the XTC-O vs RAD-0 comparison, which shouldn’t be surprising since Audeze and Rosson are related.It features a suspension headband for even weight distribution, and highly-cushioned premium ear pads for support. Headphone measurements by definition are approximate and variable so don't be surprised if other measurements even if performed with the same fixtures as mine, differ in end results.

Since most mastering engineers introduce a minor sub-bass roll-off below 35Hz in most songs anyway, LCD-X 2021's sub-bass roll-off isn't as perceivable with a vast majority of songs. Case - LCD-X 2021 comes in a really nice heavy duty hard shell case which fits the headphones as well as the cable really well in a stable foam cut out inside.LCD-X 2021's midrange is much better than the previous LCD-X but it still does not have the tonally accurate ear gain peak rise post 1kHz and is therefore recessed in the 1. While the LCD3 is still a great pair of headphones for people that like that warm, dark, and very lush sound signature, the LCD-X is simply better in technical capabilities, and its tuning is more universal and neutral.

Audeze’s innovative, patent-pending Fazor elements improve clarity, focus and the already spectacular holographic imaging.

The HEDDphone is far more fatiguing to wear over longer periods of time, mainly because of its headband construction.Even the noise that sneaks through gives you an indication of this, and I think that it’s only possible for that to be the most jarring part of the transition because of how flat these headphones are over the full human hearing range. If the song has slam and rumble mixed in, that is exactly what you will perceive with the LCD-X and if the song doesn't have much bass mixed in, don't expect it to boost any bass from its side. Most products come with a 1Y manufacturer warranty (or 3 months for B-grade, open box, refurbished, ex-demo and second hand items). And in principle, planar magnetic designs offer numerous advantages over conventional dynamic and electrostatic headphones.

If the idea of spending a four-figure sum on a pair of headphones seems ridiculous to you, these might just change your mind.The LCD-X’s were stunning in presenting the range and sonic transparency of what we needed to hear for confidence we were on the right track. It is still a rather heavy headphone, but the overall design and the weight distribution are spot-on, as this is the most comfortable heavy pair of headphones I’ve used.

So much so that the experience of listening to them is initially a little disconcerting, simply because we are so unused to hearing completely unhyped sound from a pair of headphones. Impulse response measurements with Fazors clearly show our planar element settles faster with less ringing.
