About this deal

As a result, Clear has more forward and stronger instrument and vocal definition whereas they are pushed a bit back in LCD-X 2021, which kinda helps with a more spread out soundstage presentation.

The lower-treble tuning is mostly neutral, while it is sparkly post 10kHz with good air and extension up top. When the amplified audio signal is passed through the plates, the membrane is alternately attracted to one and then the other, moving in and out and thus generating sound. Audio Venue Ltd, t/a Audio Venue is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 738562).This isnt a downgrade of the LCD-X itself, which still comes with a premium braided quater inch cable, but the flightcase and balanced cable are now not included as standard, but of course can be bought separately if required. They both have equally good detail retrieval but HD800S has stronger, more forward instrument definition. So after a pretty gut-wrenching reality check of my work as a first impression of the LCD-X, I left them alone for a couple of days. If I worked in a studio, they’d recommend 10 minutes not working with sound every hour to maintain good hearing all day, and I find that I can only work for about an hour to 90 minutes and make accurate decisions anyways.

These are angled so as to direct the sound slightly towards the back of the ear, and are more than an inch deep at their thickest point. HD800S is similarly recessed in the 1k-2kHz range of ear gain region but then has much more ear gain and presence in the 2.The open-back EL8s add to this mix a frequency response that is as flat as any dynamic headphones I’ve ever heard, making them a compelling choice for mixing duties. The Creator Packincludes Audeze's new economy travel case and standard single-ended cable making these an affordable option for budget-conscious users. For artists and audiophiles that want the most flexibility, the Premium edition comes with both a 4-pin balanced XLR , and our single-ended 1/4" braided OCC Copper cable, a 1/4" to 1/8" stereo adapter, and our premium travel case for the toughest protection.

This is one of the most known aspects of a typical Audeze sound, and I’m really glad that it’s present in their newest iteration of LCD-X. For one thing, although listening on headphones will never feel exactly like listening on loudspeakers, the LCD-Xs present a very believable and involving stereo panorama. They offer very good isolation, and are in fact significantly better at keeping external sound out than most of the moving-coil ‘phones I’ve used, while being more comfortable than ‘phones like the Sennheiser HD25-II or Focal Spirit Professional, which do offer better-than-average isolation.On the other hand, that same plastic construction makes HD800S much lighter and a much more comfortable headphone.

In fact, apart from a marginally brighter mid-range and a fractionally less confident and full bass, I’d be hard put to pinpoint exactly how they differ from the LCD-Xs. There’s an effortlessness and power to the transient response that simply makes other headphones sound two-dimensional by comparison, and drums have the sort of punch and depth that you usually get only from large speaker systems.Patent-pending Fazor elements guide and manage the flow of sound for improved frequency extension and a more enveloping soundstage. It could have never been achieved with a dynamic driver, as you really need that typical planar resolution and highly-textured sound to achieve that kind of treble response. If the idea of spending a four-figure sum on a pair of headphones seems ridiculous to you, these might just change your mind. Both the HD800S and LCD-X 2021 have an equally impressive design but it is the LCD-X 2021 that has the more impressive build quality since most of its appointments are made of metal, unlike the HD800S which is majorly high quality plastic. As described in the ‘Planar Magnetic Headphones Explained’ box, Audeze’s headphones are based around a fundamentally different technology which, it is claimed, escapes many of the compromises inherent in conventional headphone design.
