Greater than one weekI spent some time listening to and comparing my current multiple conventional dynamic headphones, all with broadly similar sound, in the $99 to $350 price range. This activity inspired me to wonder what owning better headphones might be like.

> 3 dayThese headphones sound great with the Schiit Bifrost 2 and Magnius along with balanced set up. The definition on the high end is insane without being sibilant. Vocals sound intimate.

> 3 dayHad a hard time deciding between lcd x, Arya and focal clear. Super happy with these, amazing sound quality. They’re def heavy, so I need to take a break after 4 hours or so. I’m sure I’ll get used to them more as time passes as it’s only a minor discomfort after the 4th hour. Bass hits perfect and the detail in every instrument is surreal.

Greater than one weekThe Audeze LCD X 2021 are the BEST HEADPHONES FOR VALUE OF MONEY, Period! The Sounds coming from this headphone r the most truest to the music! It produces a common copy of the actual recording w/o any coloring to the music. If there’s a lot of bass in the recording, then these cans will produce you a lot of bass. If there’s little to less bass, then it’ll feed you little to less bass.

> 3 dayI have been using Phillips X2s and Fostex T50RPMK3s for the last 5-7 years. I decided to test out a couple of upgrades. I bought 2 new pairs of headphones: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pros, and the Audeze LCD-X.

> 3 daythese new 2021 with Audezes eq on roon are amazing the best headphones ive ever heard and even better for electronic music. yes theres better but this is best price point to buy headphones at anything more and youre going to need expansive amps and dacs to make a difference. even though these have low impedance i still recommend a good amp for these. something like the Schiit audio asgard 3 is amazing for these.

> 3 dayLcd x headphones were everything I expected. The only reason for the 4 star rating is their price.

> 3 dayDefinitely an improvement, with a bit of weight loss and some actually decent tuning, making the LCD-X competitive with higher tier and more expensive cans. Their still the heaviest in my collection but are sonically weightier then most along with its better dynamics, instrument separation and sound stage.

> 3 daySounds transparent a bit different though compared to traditional cone based headphones. I didn’t find it to be bass heavy as some reviews suggest. Important to take a listen before you go for it.
Audeze"s exclusive Planar Driver design has lower distortion
Diaphragms thinner than a human hair
We use space-age materials in an ultra thin diaphragm four times larger than typical headphones for fast response times, dramatically reduced distortion, higher resolution and improved imaging.
Near zero distortion
Double-sided magnet arrays delivers a uniform driving force across the entire diaphragm for near zero distortion.
Internal waveguide
Patented Fazor Elements guide internal headphone soundwaves to avoid resonances for a more accurate waveform.
The Audeze story
Audeze started in 2008 in a garage (of course!) when its founders came across a revolutionary flexible circuit material developed for NASA. Realizing this could be a great advance in planar magnetic technology, they first started to make pro audio PA speakers, but dropped this project and started making headphones!
Taking this first headphone to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, it was a tremendous hit, and that success launched the company. Hanging on that garage wall was the 2001 Space Odyssey poster, and that inspired the company’s name. The founders wanted a name that had something to do with a “journey through audio,” so Odyssey would be perfect, and that’s how the name Audeze (pronounced “odyssey”) was born.
