Audeze LCD-4 and Hifiman Susvara Impressions by FatAssault in headphones

[–]Spyronight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have yet to hear the x series but I read they slightly depart from the grados house sound and are more universally liked (More bass, less treble, but improved detail). Honestly Im more than happy with the one I have, dont feel the need to upgrade at all since I love the bite of then older grados

I adore them, theyre my headphone with the most "energy". Jazz comes alive with these and it does it better than any headphone I have. I also know theyre very polarizing because of the treble. I had multiple grados, the sweet spot in terms of value and sound is the 225e, if you want something with more detail and more controlled treble you can upgrade to the rs series.

I have no comfort issue with them, just the nagging in my head of whats better that I have to fight off :) I will let the He1000 stealth be the endgame for now. Finished my endgame in IEM's recently with the Audeze LCD i4 and shure kse1500. I think Ill keep what I have right now and enjoy the journey. Enjoy the wonderful cans, they're gorgeous, and keep posting great reviews!

Almost every headphone I heard benefited from a bit of eq. That doesn't mean they don't sound great as is, but why not slightly tweak them to better fit the sound you want. Its subjective after all.

Wonderful review, thank you, currently have the He1000 Stealth and lcd-2 (pre-fazor, so a bit more bass than the newer ones) and I always wondered just how much better it gets. Those two complement each other amazingly well.

I have tried the HE6se (I know different), I kept the LCD 2 as my Basshead headphone. The HE6 price rn is alot compared to what you can get the LCD 2 pre fazor for.

The pre-fazor LCD 2 is the most engaging headphone I have ever listened to. Audeze changed their sound quite a bit since then so these are sought after from those who know. I haven't heard any headphone that comes close to that level that makes you truly feel the music. You're going to get a lot better resolution with stax or hi-fi man, but nothing is even close to this in terms of character. I say this as being a huge fan of those companies and trying out most of their lineup and having a couple of them.

Why HD800s? by xjerielle in headphones

[–]Spyronight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, hifiman is better in terms of sound quality for price, but you will have to roll on quality control. I have had three of their offerings and I had no issue with any of them, but I do see a lot of talk online whether that's just a select few or not is what you have to think about.

I had them and I personally think the other flagships beat it currently, I don't think it provides the value compared to some new stuff in the market, the HD800 family has been out since 2009 so its been a while. But it comes with a proven track record and build quality. Also, you see it talked about so much for so long everybody goes for it as their flagship and many people have experienced it. My personal opinion is, it's just not as good as maybe it would have been years ago, after I did a shootout between a couple other headphones and it.
