(The Benchmark) Audeze LCD-2C - Headphone Highlight 

The newer version of the audeze lcd 2 classic has a mesh grill instead of foam because the foam had issues with Staying on the grill in the inside Plus it improves air flow and releases Back pressure on the grill of the headphone

Nice review! Just got these today actually. I've had the Audeze LCD XC (carbon) for awhile and those are so insanely detailed it's almost too intense sometimes. These 2Cs strike that perfect balance of detail, smoothness, soundstage, bass, midrange, (treble is fine but don't care that it's average) and as a package it's unreal!! Heard some nice cans but these are special.

What a great review. I have had these for one month and have the same feelings. They are special. I usually have few pairs od headphones and iems, objectively better and rotate them on daily basis. After buying these I listen only them. Today I tried Focal Utopia, great headphones from every perspective but after coming home I immediately wanted to listen these.

I use them in the studio. These reveal immediately every problem, I had to totally recollect my reference tracks. Low-end separation is just unreal. I just goes to a totally headphone setup for mixing with the 2C. Absolutely beautiful piece of gear.

I definitely want to try these, I think I'll like them, good review.

I just got these 2nd hand , absolutely fantastic headphones. granted they won't be for everyone because nothing is. but if you like them then you'll really like them.

Very good and lively review

They are my first higher quality headphones, when I hear them for the first time my life changed because I wanted more. More headphones, more audio tech :), headphones like this deserve a better amp a better dac, even a better cable. Even if I have now many headphones 2C are still my baby

I love mine , 2 weeks happy owner. They came with hard case crate box.

Greetings from tor☕️❄️❄️ I’ve gotten the LCDX 2021 creators edition…and it’s freak’n awesome! I’m looking to add another AUDEZE to my collection..the lcd 2c ( 2021 edition) is in my sights . Thanks for this video.

In the past I've been more in the Hifiman Planar Game, which I really really like, especially the large egg shaped ones. But these Audeze's somehow get to me on a different level. Those badass looks, the rugged and heavy built, man they are just beautiful. Have not heard one yet, but I will definitely get one in the future. Whats also interesting about the Audeze lineup is their comparatively extremely low measured distortion levels, which is especially unique in the bass frequencies, as most headphones tend to distort there quite a bit. This means you basically have a blank paper which you can EQ however you like, without having to care much about increased distortion due to EQ boosts. Wanna add a 10dB Sub Bass boost? No problem :D

Hey I just got my lcd2C and paired it with mojo 2 and they sound good. The weight didn’t bother me that much. The ear pads are super smooth. I hope they don’t compress with time to the level that your ear lobes touch

Mine are on the way, and I'll be using a Schiit modi + magni 3. What did you power these with

Audeze glue their pads on all higher end models so there is no leak causing unwanted anomalies in sound

How does thr Grado hemp compare? What kind of sound do you like? What I like is an accurate sound signature. Just the right amount of lower frequency in vocals without being bass heavy or on the other end not enough. I like instrument vocal separation like live music. I'm an audiophile but lack headphone experience.

If you buy these now they come with a hard case. Cheers

Worth buying over speaker in this same price range?? By the way I enjoy headphones a lot.

Are these the latest version with the 2021 pads?

How do they compare to Hifiman edition XS

Audeze pads are replaceable but they come with some sort of glue on them

Will a Zen dac be good enough for these?

My experience with the LCDs has been that while they are overall really good sounding headphones, however they are very uncomfortable after the first 2 hours of listening and wearing putting a lot of strain on my neck. I ended up selling them.

Did the lcd have an update in 2021 like lcd X

Why do all the reviews tell these are not good for classic and jazz. Can’t it be corrected by eq and All the users find these good 😊

Ring around the cup is plastic

Love your explanation and you are spot on.. LCD2's are real life audio warmth and intimate .. closest to a real good speaker like sound..
