Without doubt the best headphones
Posted by Shameless Gear Head from Unity, ME on 2012-08-02Posted on Audeze LCD-3
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Incredible sound
Cons: expensive; headband rests on top of head
I own the following headphones: T1, Ultrasone Edition 8; Dennon D5000
The LCD-3 is a better listening experience than any of these. The range is broad and to my ear all regions of the sound spectrum have great clarity. I am using a Cambridge Audio DAC and HK stereo amp. I use nothing but high-end cables such as Audioquest. Given all of this, the LCD-3 is like hearing my music for the first time.
I am totally ruined. I see no reason to ever again pick up any of my old headphones.

Old Headphones - Denon AH-D7000
New Headphones - Audez'e LCD-3
Wow, it's amazing to hear this thing, it needs plenty more power to drive than my old Denon. My amp is going to get real work to do. With the Denon's volume used to be:
35% on amp
20-25% on pc
lol... Barely breaking a sweat. But with these 'phones i had to feed the amp 50% and 35% on pc. OMG, hear that bass. what'd BBQ! Money well spent! And the headphones haven't even been fully broken in yet. I've heard it will have to hit 100hrs before it sounds "good" and minimum 200hrs before it reach its max potential.
:D
These LCD-3 headphones sound like a speaker on your head, but with all the clarity and quality of a headphone. OMG! i just put back on my Denons, what the hell was I listening to for the past 2 years? It now sounds thin and lifeless. Was this the same headphones I've been using all along? Was this the best sound my ears ever heard? I can't believe, this is the best thing my ears ever heard.
I didn't expect the difference to be THAT huge, 'cause like all change in quality (Audio or Video) one doesn't know how much better it is until you go back. So I said, ok, time to go back; my face got a very confused look. WOW, the D7000 was sounding soooooo good before, what the hell!
I put on 90% bass and this old headphones still struggling to keep up with the LCD-3, wow! This is a very very very very VERY! addictive and DANGEROUS hobby. You know why? Seeing that i'm pushing my amp to 50% to drive this monster, now I'm wondering what a more powerful headphone amp could do .....teary eyes....
WHAT! D! HELL!, Transformers 3! *eye pop* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Speechless, Wow, Amazing! (tested @ 1.05.39 and 1.38.00)
Jeeze, these headphones are amazing. Truly truly amazing and it's fresh out the box, no burn in? Wow. The Denon D7000 is a great headphone, truly epic in its own right. But the Audez'e LCD-3 has taken the bar, and destroyed it, it exists on it's own scale, in it's own corner of the universe!… Now to get back to listening!
