Audeze LCD-XC Headphones | 2024 Creator's Edition

Great build, reasonably comfortable given size and weight as well as easy to drive. But, really, very thin sounding, nor bass. It's unfortunate as it is easily EQ'd and you can add tons of bass but stock tuning is too bass thin. If you EQ always then you can have really exceptional sound as the drivers are very very capable. If you can't EQ always or don't EQ I would pass. I ended up selling because I have many headphones and was just not using. I hate that this sounds soo negative because these are very capable just not tuned in a way to avoid needing a lot of bass shelf.

I am a mixing and mastering engineer living in NYC, I recently moved to a new apartment where there is outside noise or noise from my Roomate. I am unable to blast my studio monitors and didn't want to do super complex acoustic treatment in the apartment. For these reasons closed back was ideal. If my mix sounds good in these headphones, they sound good on literally any speaker, AirPods, headphones, anything! If you looking for the most accurate pair of closed back reference headphones. Look no further.

Great experience, fast delivery. Very pleased w/ how responsive customer service was.
