Audeze LCD-XC Best Headphones Ive Ever Heard
I never thought headphones could replicate the same sense of feeling and emotion that good speakers via a good amp can provide - I was wrong! These LCD-XC headphones have a fantastic sonic signature with a great and very controlled Bass. I now listen through these headphones almost as much as through my $30,000 Floorstanders and Amp!

LCD-XC Audeze
Exceptional headphones for the studio. A little heavy but so is a tank. The isolation is great when used with microphones. The low end is there all the way without being tubby or fabricated sounding. Worth the investment if you want to hear the truth.

The Ultimate Headphone
"Overall Packing is better. Now they comes with 2 cables. One is 1/4' plug and the other is large XLR plug. Audeze also gives you 1/4"" to Mini plug converter just like Grado. This is my first impression of LCD-XC Extremely well extend and Tight bass. Bass is even deeper than LCD-2 rev.2 that I have. Well controlled and really have tightness. I would say this headphone delvers the best quality of bass. Full, Rich, Juicy Mid-range. One of the main differences between XC and any other LCD series is Mid-range. I would say it is lightly forward where I felt X, 2, 3 was neutral but yet laid back around 5kHz. However, XC delivers Mid-range amazingly accurate. It is very detailed and juicy!! Crystal clear and well extended High. One of my main problems with LCD-2 was extension on high. It was somewhat restrained. Now with XC high are Crystal clear and you can hear a fantastic extension without getting rough. It is truly amazing how audeze delivers high frequency range with XC Amazingly accurate Imaging and Wide stage. The other problem with LCD-2 was small Staging. Although imaging was accurate, sound stage was very compressed. Yet XC has extremely wide stage. I would say a little bit smaller than Sennhieser HD800 but still bigger than most of open back headphone. Imaging is even more acutate then LCD-2. Now when I listen to audio track, I can feel where the instrumentals are located Even though LCD-XC has so many good modifications on sound, they have critical problem. It is extremely heavy.. It is 100g heavier than LCD-2 Rev.2 So it is total of 650g... After wearing them for hour, I had to take it off and rest for few mins in order to maintain listening. But LCD-XC is Truly well built Headphone. Of course Their Sound is Outstanding as well!"
