Отзывы о Наушники Audeze LCD-2 Classic

Это был мой первый продукт гнездо и я могу сказать, я не разочарован. Действительно потрясающий звук и комфорт. Работает она на Мэйфлауэр О2-ODAC и это здорово. Я думаю, что это стоит больше, как и 699$, но тем не менее отличный продукт!

Большой пышный, богатый по звучанию наушники. хороший утешал бас и максимумы. Я купил его на выставке и очень довольны. Это займет мало пользы, чтобы подождать, но тогда ты даже не думаешь об этом, так как звук пышной...

Очень хороший звук, но его утечки.
Для меня это звучит как 500 наушники доллара, но, возможно, это потому, что у меня только сайт FiiO E10k гнать эти наушники, я буду тестировать позже с лучшим ЦАП и усилитель

Уровень звука, тона, разделение инструментов, бас, фантастический тональный баланс...<БР />
он принимает несколько десятков часов обкатки, чтобы развивать все богатство наушников.

Серьезно, покупайте эти наушники, вы думаете, что вы слышали музыку, пока вы не поставите этих крошек. Я был таким скептиком дорогих наушников, никогда. Я люблю эти наушники

Очень теплый, расслабляющий наушники, что я могу сделать с достаточной ясностью

Theses are nice, intended to keep the X pair but they got magically changed into a mystery light bulb on accidental return to the thieves from the jungle !

Top of the class for it's price range. Recommended.

These headphones gets you 90% sound of the flagship ($4,000) headphones from Audeze and almost all the other brands!

Update: I've been using these for several hours a day for the last 10 days. There has been no noticeable change in tone after more burning in. I'm really happy with them, and have quickly grown accustomed to the width of the sound-stage.

These are my initial views after spending several hours last night going through my music collection.
I don't really believe in "burn-in" in general, and these certainly sounded impressive straight out of the box. 20 odd hours of constant playback later there hasn't been any sonic change worth mentioning. I'm going to be comparing them to my trusty Sennheiser HD650s, since many people know how those sound and these LCDs are an obvious potential upgrade from them.

SOUND
Moving from a pair of (very old) HD650s to these it was immediately clear that the overall sound signature is somewhat similar, with enough roll-off in the treble to avoid too much sizzle in snares and hats, or screeching in the high vocal range, but enough to be able to pick out details. That's good, because I like the HD650s slightly soft sound (I also have Shure iems, which are even more rolled off, ideal for long fatigue-free listening periods while travelling) .

That said, there is definitely more treble present in the LCDs sound than the HDs. I think I understand now when people call it "grainy", as it does have a few peaks and troughs in the 2-6kHz range, but for me it is very pleasing in tone. Tone aside, it definitely offers more detail, across all frequencies, than the 650s. There is a small but noteworthy bump in response at 1k, which is perhaps not ideal given this is also where hearing is most sensitive, but it does mean that vocals (particularly more "modern" music-style vocals - Radiohead sound epic on these, as does Nina Simone) tend to be very well-presented in the mix.
I will mainly be using these for electronic music production (Trance, Breakbeat, House etc), so would prefer a flatter response in this critical area, but, the bump is small enough that it shouldn't cause any problems.

I did listen to a few pieces of classical music, and K626 Gardiner Bonney/Von Otter in particular showed that the LCDs are in a different class, though that is as much about the stereo image as the frequency response. Compared to the 650's pleasant but veiled presentation I could really place pick out individual voices from the choir in certain sections. The only downside was that there are a few moments where that 1k hump over-cooks the strong female choral notes when they coincide with that frequency. Note enough to grate however.
What also impressed me everywhere was the transient response. From delicate vocal trills hidden in the choral section of Domine Jesu, to the biting full-on kick/bass grooves and electronic plinks in psytrance tracks like Liquid Soul/ViniVici's Universe inside me and Astrix/Avalon Moonshine the LCD2C delivers them all accurately and with punch or delicacy as called for.
While this headphone is not as full-bodied in it's bass as the 650, this is mainly because the 650, like most dynamic headphones it seems, has a humped and rolled-off bass response. The hump in the 650s is wide, from 800Hz to 70Hz, with a fairly steady roll-off from there. The LCD2C on the other hand is virtually flat right the way from 700Hz all the way down to 10Hz!! Massive Attack sound immense on these things, and the slightly kooky Luke Vibert track SharpA2, which rattle my Senns, is handled with consummate ease by the LCDs.
This does however mean that bass-heads might want to boost in the 100-500hz range to generate the boomy bass that seems so popular. But purists will love the accuracy and clarity of the, essentially bottomless, bass. It has made headphone monitoring bass-heavy tracks so much easier, without needing to cross-reference against my Genelecs all the time.

Sound Stage
So good that it was actually off-putting. I spent the first few hours listening to a wide variety of 60s-00s "pop" music, and so much of it was to the left in the sound stage that I thought maybe I had a badly-matched pair and the right earphone was dodgy. Turns out that just seems to be the way many tracks were produced, and I'd just never heard it so vividly before!
The 650s are very narrow by comparison. So much so that I think it will take some time to become fully accustomed to the very real width provided by the LCD2s as it is a totally different type of presentation. The kick and bass on all the EDM stuff I listened to was dead-centre with everything else dancing around it nice and symmetrically, so it there clearly is anything wrong with the right headphone...!
This width is part of why the sound is so detailed and you are able to pick voices out of a choir. The separation is excellent.

Comfort
Big, heavy, tight, but not uncomfortable for me even after 4 or 5 hours yesterday. The headstrap should be further from the metal headband when on, or padded, as this would improve the comfort. Ymmv though, as I believe comfort depends a lot on head size/shape. These leak noise rather a lot, and don't really cut out any background noise either. They are open, though, so that's to be expected.

Amps
I plugged straight into my RME Babyface headphone output and it does the business. I'm pretty sure any non-mobile amp will be able to power these. They're only 72 Ohm impedance, and also twice as sensitive as the HDs, so should get plenty loud with even basic equipment.

Overall
Expensive, heavy, but definitely a fine pair of headphones.

Like: Detailed, with great transient response, super flat bass response, and pleasant overall tone, nice wide presentation
Dislike: Bulky, 1kHz bump could be smaller, high freq response could be flatter, expensive but quite possibly worth it

Firstly I never thought I'd ever spend this amount on money on a set of headphones. I had tried a number of sets over the years but always felt something was missing. I had luckily came into some money so treated myself. Upon delivery I found out the postage box was the headphone storage / protection box. Possibly not the best idea but Audeze seem to have pulled it off. Taking out of the box they seemed unnecessarily heavy but they fit really well and even after a couple of hours you do not notice the weight. They are brilliantly & professionally made using high class materials that will last. On first using I admit I was not overly impressed & wondered if they were really worth the money. Subsequent plays have slowly bought out the outstanding quality of theses headphones. I can't wax lyrical about the openess of the mids, the depth & fullness of the bass, the sweetness of the highs. The techies can do that. I listen to classic American 70's & 80's rock, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue & my weapon of choice - Kiss. Ultimately it does to matter what you listen to, you will hear things that you never heard before & more importantly hear your music the way it was meant to be listed to.
Yes the phones are expensive, but as my header says (for me) these are end gamers. I look forward to the phones developing over time.

I'm happy with this headphones

Es díficil escribir una opinión sobre estos auriculares, porque intervienen muchos factores que son subjetivos/personales y muchas veces el matiz de pasar de unos cascos de 200 euros a otros de 900 es mínimo, pero ya digo intervienen otros factores entre ellos una pasión irracional por querer tener un poquito más de calidad. Digo esto porque he leido alguna opinión que decían que estos cascos no eran para rock, pop, etc y no estoy de acuerdo, en mi opinión, todos los cascos tienen una firma sonora que los puede hacer más idoneos para según que estilo de música, pero no hay una correlación género musical/precio, en mi opinión.

La música que escucho es Metal, practicamente todos los subgeneros, pero sobre todo, black y death, en estos estilos la presencia y rapidez de los graves es fundamental y por ese motivo me incliné por estos Audeze, son el modelo que más se asemeja al LCD-2 original, y al no llevar los fazors, tienen una mayor presencia de graves y ahí está el punto fuerte de estos cascos, ¿unos beats? no, no, no, esos son calientaorejas de lujo, estos audeze aparte de darte unos bajos llenos, tiene buenos medios y unos agudos que ahí están, simplemente están. Tienen una buena escena sonora

He notado un cambio radical, porque hasta ahora usaba en casa los AKG k701, que son todo lo contrario a estos audeze, su fuerte están en los medios/agudos, tengo tambien unos B&W P5 y unos IEM, los westone 4R, los dos muy buenos para el Metal, sobre todo los segundos, pero prefiero unos auriculares abiertos para estar en casa. Hace tiempo que estaba deseando un cambio y quería unos planares por su rapidez, al final despues de leer sobre mas de 6 modelos, dudaba entre los hifiman sundara, un sonido más neutro y estos audeze, pero no había leido opiniones buenas sobre los controles de calidad de hifiman, así que todo me empujó a los Audeze.

Lo ideal hubiera sido poder escucharlos todos, pero desgracidamente no todos tenemos esta posibilidad y no te queda más remedio que guiarte por opiniones e imaginarte como puedan sonar. En mi caso he acertado.

Son unos cascos pesados, pero comodísimos, los he tenido puestos hoy durante un par de horas y sin problemas, no se si es pasión, pero diría que son hasta mas cómodos que los akg (que ya es decir).

Da der Kopfhörer ja immer gegen Monatsende hier verfügbar ist hab ich dann nach langem überlegen ihn doch Bestellt.

Und mein Fazit ist, dass ich es schon wesentlich früher hätte tun sollen.
Der LCD-2C ist Klanglich sehr warm und meiner Meinung nach angelehnt an seinen Großen Bruder dem LCD-X, nur wesentlich sanftere und etwas zurück steckende Höhen (Was auf keinen Fall heißt, dass er in den Hochtönen nachlässt, er "versanft" nur alles was er zu spielen bekommt)
Für mich ein absoluter Wohlfühl Kopfhörer.
Es sei nocheinmal gesagt, dass er nicht auf der leichten seite von Kopfhörer liegt (jedoch für mich einer, wenn nicht DER, bequemste Kopfhörer ist den ich je getragen habe).
Seine 70 Ohm mit den Planaren Treibern machen ihn zwar auch vielleicht nicht mobil tauglich aber ich denke, dass jemand der sich in dieser Preisklasse einen Kopfhörer kauft auch einen AMP hat um ihn zu betreiben (ich habe mir mittlerweile auch ein Kabel für den Symmetrischen betrieb gebaut und kann nur sagen, dass er sich dadurch noch ein wenig Imposanter in der Darstellung anhört. Höhen sind etwas dramatischer und die Tiefen werden auch einen tick aggressiver, ich bin ein Fan von beiden Symmetrisch und Unsymmetrisch)

Ansonsten kann ich nur sagen dass ich sehr gespannt auf die Fazor mods der Hifi-Community gespannt bin und möchte auch schon bis dahin jedem diesen Kopfhörer empfehlen.

La contrucciòn es muy buena sin duda todo metal y plastico de calidad.
La comodidad ya no tanto pesan bastante, dan mucho calor y para largas escuchas hacen que te pique la cara por las almohadillas que no traspiran y la cabeza donde se apolla la diadema.
Otro detalle que para cambiar las almohadillas es un engorro vienen pegadas con adhesivo de doble cara. Pienso que deberían al menos tener una guía para quitar y poner y usar las de terciopelo o piel dependiendo del momento o del calor que haga.
Respecto al perfil de sonido es donde más me han decepcionado. Los graves hacen que parezca que el sonido esté comprimido y los medios con voces e instrumentos de cuerda quedan sin definición, solapados. No me parece un sonido natural. Les he dado oportunidades con varios estilos musicales y los he devuelto. ( si bajas las frecuencias entre 60 Hz y 150 Hz el sonido cambia para mejor) Pero con estos precios y nivel de producto no compras estos auriculares para tener que actualizar nada. Es mi opinión espero no molestar a nadie.

In terms of tonality these headphones are on the dark side they're not that dark but the trebel leaves something to be desired especially at the high frequencies, that being said, it's perfect for me. My daily drivers were beyerdynamic DT 1990 pros and they had this piercing ring to them at the 8 kilohertz region. While the Sound Stage is not as big as a DT 1990 pros and The vocals are quiet intimate, it is one of the most beautiful listening experiences I have ever heard from my Monoprice THX AAA 887 and my Cavalli tube hybrid amp from massdrop both of which were fed from a topping D30. This headphone serves as a nice breath of fresh air for a listening experience, that being said, Imaging is not bad, I wouldn't use them for gaming though.

Furthermore while I was impressed by the build quality of them, the audeze blow my dt 1990 out of the water with Comfort aesthetic and material quality. I went ahead and got warranty on my pair of headphones and I suggest you should too once you go into this price bracket and higher since I don't trust myself to not damage these in any way; Since planar magnetics are even more delicate than traditional headphones. That being said if you have an equalizer I would suggest that you ramp up trebel just a bit, not too much. If you don't have an equalizer that's just fine they're great listening to either way. I'm currently waiting on my order of a audio GD nfb 1 amp to see how these LCD 2 Classics behave with those.

Final piece of advice for the future if you plan to carry these or bring them some place invest in some headphone cases for the series otherwise you're going to be paying half the sum to replace broken drivers on planner magnetics.

This is one hell of a purchase to make. A commitment, really. First off, they're expensive as hell. Maybe not stratospheric in the world of audiophiles , but up there for sure. It's a long journey to this kind of purchase. For me it starts with love of music, I'm not an audiophile. But the time came and I could justify the expense but also expected the reward. The Audeze delivers. Truly sublime. Controlled but warm bass. Impeccable vocals. Great sound stage. And for me, toned down "brightness" compared to so called "analytical" headphones from competing brands. A reviewer on youtube called them "a warm kiss full of darkness" - and I couldn't agree more. If you love music, looking for the next level of sound quality and experience, and find that their sound signature is to your liking - this pair is a magnificent and very rewarding luxury.

A couple of details:
- Weight: they're heavy. But for me, overall, the design is thoughtful and I find their heft to be part of the experience. I usually listen for up to 2 hours in a stretch

- Sound neutrality - the LCD 2C's designers bring their own narrative to the sound this pair produces and which I (and many others) happen to like. Unlike other excellent headphones in its class that focus on neutrality, this pair has a musical "agenda". It's a clean, not heavy handed in any way, and feels balanced - but it has a unique "voice" all its own.

Finally, I happen to be shopping for new speakers, and after listening through the Audeze for the past week or so, I now know exactly what sound signature I'm looking for.
