About this deal
Even though the weight is fairly well distributed by the suspension strap and ear pad design, it could still be problematic, especially if you like using headphones for long durations.

Additionally, the newest version is tuned differently, and it’s meant to eliminate the flaws of the original LCD-X, its uneven midrange performance. The two Fazor elements are placed just outside the two magnet structures that surround the diaphragm in each capsule.
The midrange is just miles ahead, as the CZ-1 has this weird reverberation to it, that simply doesn’t sound right. IntroductionAudeze LCD-X was originally released back in 2013, and has since then it has been the best-selling Audeze LCD series headphones. In fact, apart from a marginally brighter mid-range and a fractionally less confident and full bass, I’d be hard put to pinpoint exactly how they differ from the LCD-Xs. However, just as there are other transducers that can convert sound into electrical energy, so too are there other ways of designing headphones. But I can tell if the bass is too boomy or the high mids/lower treble is too hot (for my preference).Pop/Soft Rock – Ed Sheeran, Adele, Taylor Swift, OneRepublic, The Script, Gavin James, Magic Man, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Charlie Puth, Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, Oasis, Panic! Because the electrostatic diaphragm is not burdened by the mass of the voice coil, it can be thinner, less stiff and more responsive to transients; and because it is driven evenly over its entire surface rather than from the central ring where the coil is attached, it is less prone to distortion.
For me, the Audeze LCD-X are everything I want in a headphone in terms of packaging and accessories. 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. Personally, after getting my pair custom EQ'd by Sonar Works around five years ago, I never felt they gave me anything to be unhappy about.Whereas making your own EQ provides you and us with the clarity of the equalization parameters utilized. The class-leading resolution and impressively low distortion makes the LCD-X comparable to high end speaker systems, without requiring large, expensive acoustic room treatments. Planar magnetic drivers are also a lot more durable than dynamic drivers as only the diaphragm actually moves in the headphones, so the drivers wont degrade as they get older.
They come in a ruggedized carrying case in which I would have no problem transporting the headphones. Using Audeze's patented engineering techniques and state of the art laser-etching technology, Audeze put great care into each step of the manufacturing process to ensure all headphones meet the exacting audio and production quality standards. As the magnetic field is distributed across the entire diaphragm, it can move faster, reproducing the waves much more accurately and also reduces distortion. For these premium headphones, Audeze have revived an old but under-used driver technology — and the results are astonishing.Both are also significantly smaller and lighter than the LCD-Xs, and very comfortable for long periods of use.
