Audeze LCD X High End Over-Ear Headphones, Black / Leather, suitcases (Electronics)

Customer Review

Whether the price is justified, everyone should decide for themselves - we are in high-end climes, both priced, as well as sound, since you can discuss long, if headphones cost because more than 1000 must / can / must / should.
Then I will not go into here, too.

Delivered the Audez'e in a large, padded Otterbox, which contains a guarantee card contained in a sealed letter, a common connecting cable with 6.3mm jack plug, a breakout cable adapter to 3.5mm, as well as a symmetrical cable with large XLR connector.
Here there is a small point of criticism - can the headphones, when attached cable, not stowed in the storage box, as the mini XLR connector on the headphones are as long and projecting that the Otterbox no longer be closed. Whether the separately sold wooden box is there a better way? I dont know.
Currently I store the LCD X in the outer carton, with a towel in it - not just high-Endig but functional and protective. My other headphones I keep by the way, also with towel in shoeboxes on, provided that (if) provided storage can not accommodate. Visually this is not a highlight, but functional.

The processing of the LCD-X is good and solid, the high weight (after approximately 600g with cable) does not bother me really when worn, but I'm not overly fussy.
Only after a certain time suppressed the headband from the top bit, but what I can handle.
The adjustment mechanism is pleasantly firm and it is very unlikely that the size changes automatically.
The cushion (I bought my LCD X with leather cushions) are very soft and thick and provide the pressure given a good, comfortable grip and enormous comfort.
Always half the earcups there is plenty of room even for my big ears.

The efficiency of the LCD-X is very high and it is also reflected in weak outputs, which can provide only a low voltage, easy to operate.

Sonically the LCD X is more of a hifi and fun handset as a sonic motion. Tonal he goes to the neutral direction, but are not neutral.
He has to tend dark bulky Audez'e character retained, but the counters with a serving of freshness in the treble, what you (which you can request from Audez'e by the serial number) can see my model also on frequency graph.
Poor recordings sound good even with the LCD-X, you realize that it was developed for the HiFi consumption and not for the studio.
Although he thus quasi beautiful colored photographs, he is nevertheless not detailarm, quite the contrary. Fine details are worked out over the entire frequency range well and with a subtle ease - because the Audez'e sound engineers something great is really succeeded.
The stage presentation is also quite well done - although it is not really wide, it offers a good and authentic space with a lot of depth and beautiful elaboration of the individual depths.
The bass range is indeed accurate, but does not have an analytical fast finale, but sounds voluminous slowly, but without drone - an attribute that many HiFi like friend, in the long run is to me, however, too much - for the unsparing truth but I have other headphones.
The bass range is powerful build pressure and volume and has a nice body.
Deeply, he can play, the LCD-X, and also quite linear. Only in the deep bass of the level falls then from something that is due to the new Fazor technology.
Voices have a beautiful melting and tonal unadulterated, convey a very nice authenticity and Livehaftigkeit.
The treble is lowered slightly at the bottom, giving the headphones of typical Audez'e Sounding, but then awaits with an emphasis in the middle tweeter. On the one hand is the headphones though added by freshness, on the other hand this can sometimes, however, the high frequency range by a little too hard.
In Superhochton LCD X extends up very far and does not roll off luckily.

LCD X succeeds, although he did not mercilessly unmasked bad shots, fine display detail what he achieved not by stresses in the frequency response, but through genuine resolution.
However, the stage is indeed narrow, but very fine and multilayered in the preservation of spatial detail and, above all, authentic.
The bass range is from subsided warm, which is crowd-pleasing.
Voices are mapped very vivid and real.
The tonal vote total is balanced, but without renouncing the Audez'e house sound, which is achieved by a depression in the lower heights, but after that he plays quite balanced.

Whether you are willing to pay the price for the headphones, you have to decide for yourself. Fun preparing the LCD-X, however, that is not an issue. Although he was still the most developed in rock recordings playfulness, it has become far more broadband-compatible, as his brothers and sisters and I can also convince with Jazz.
An aural magnifying glass can be found with the Audez'e not that he does not want to be.
As single headphone I could not imagine him, but he is a good addition to my other models represent and bad shots can still sound good, not wishing to take the same recordings in the yellow bag.
