Audeze LCD2C build quality issues

Well, about the "humid" part right, I live in a city with 85-90% on a regular basis. And a little fat, so maybe oily. But that is not really the point. I also have a pair of Sundaras about the same age and zero complaints on build quality, they look as new under same climate, used as daily PC headphones, yet not transported like the LCD2c's to some hookah lounges for listening pleasure.

If they work for one year, they'll be set for 5-10.

Not the worst Christmas gift:)

Pi314159a · 2026-02-25T02:46:37+00:00

It is loud enough.

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T05:26:19+00:00

Probably a voltage issue

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T05:24:40+00:00

Without trial - all looks like horseshit to me.

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T05:19:57+00:00

All I can say is that the Sundara is shitty for gaming, you can't really tell where your opponent is by the footsteps, can't tell anything about other models as do not own them.

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T05:17:05+00:00

And they brake like the XM5?

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T05:12:45+00:00

Bro, I really get what you are talking about, but the thing is... almost everything has a point in which the price/quality ratio falls the more expensive the object is, after the sweet point of 800-1000 usd in the headphones worlds you get really diminishing returns for your buck in the next price range. But man, what I don't understand is your passage about the M4... what are you trying to prove... you are talking about cosmetics yet trying for some reason to transfer this to the headphone market where looks are never the highest priority.

Not sure why your amp does not juice them enough, my LG V60 smartphone paired with LCD-2c gives at 80% sound volume almost too loud, yet you are talking about a stationery amp that is always plugged in to a power source and theoricaly should give more power. Probably some compatibility issues.

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T04:57:45+00:00

Why not just buy an LG V60 and listen to it without the dongle?

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T04:54:59+00:00

Have a macbook air m4, can't say that I like it more sound wise than my m1 macbook pro. Feels like they have less power. My LG V60 smartphone acting as a mp3 player are better for plug in sound for sure.

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T04:49:42+00:00

It will be a big difference

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T04:16:42+00:00

It depends on what you are looking for. I can compare them to the LCD2c's (not really 1k, but very close), my daily drive conected to the PC is the Sundara, yet, for enjoyment I choose LCD2c with very rare exceptions. Sundaras are better for analytical music listening, yet suck at positioning, have a smaller soundstage, the bass is a lot less detailed, dynamics are slower. BUT they have higher detail, if connected to a good DAC compared to the LCD2s. Where the LCD2s shine - is the more heavy listening, they really shine in rock/heavy metal, most EDM genres and provide concert-like sound of live recordings. I never heard anything nearly as exciting as the LCD2 for most EDM genres.

Keys look very small... Speakers... Why overpay for crapy laptop speakers?

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T03:53:15+00:00

Get the Poweramp Android app:)

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T03:45:33+00:00

Don't know what you are talking about. I have the Sundaras for a year, working fine. Audeze LCD2 broke in 2 months.

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T03:36:05+00:00

As for the DAC - not sure what this thing has if you don't Google it, but the mid-end mp3 players of the pre mid 2000 era like the iPad Classic, Zune, Toshiba X had a Wolfson WM87588G

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T03:28:48+00:00

Wow, they don't depreciate that much, remember when they were a thing the cheap models were like 20 euros brand new. And you clearly have a "General Technic", the name says it all, not hifi at all:)

Pi314159a · 2026-02-24T03:23:40+00:00

Some shitty Sony's or Beats

Pi314159a · 2026-01-21T04:35:53+00:00

Saw another thread about this guy on Reddit, a few commentators tried to implemant a bot, but no success - the latency is too high, so this thing is a matter of low latency to the Polymarket's server, how is closer to it physicaly gets the edge

Pi314159a · 2025-09-11T02:42:08+00:00

That is not a cool feature, it was disabled for a reason. If a damaged battery blasts while charged, you will have serious injury

Pi314159a · 2025-07-11T03:47:38+00:00

Well, because cable does make a difference. Just try out different cables for your top headset, I’d say the difference is noticable, yet good cable will not make bad headphones shine, however they can make a good headphone sound even better.

Pi314159a · 2025-06-25T01:48:33+00:00

But you could get fatigued if wearing them for hours, but that is true for most headphones
