My Xs of 7 years died this past week (RIP old buddy :sob:). I ended up ordering a current-year XC from Moon Audio and a couple days later I'm listening again. The difference in sound signature is pretty incredible. The reduced, closed soundstage doesn't bug me nearly as much as the reduced bass...

After a few days of listening I've got to say that these things are phenomenal. I actually prefer them to the X's, even straight out of my macbook pro, for certain types of music (so far this includes Jazz, Blues, and some Alternative Rock). The mids are so much more forward than on the X's. The...

Just picked up a pair on the way home from work. I look forward to comparing and contrasting them to my X's and HD25-1 II's. They're really meant to be my daily drivers, replacing my IE80's at work, but we'll see how that goes. Very initial thoughts are mostly positive. They've already...

I'll be keeping a close eye on these. Looking to find a nice closed headphone to wear at work without spending TOO much money.

  Approximately where are you located?

Woohoo, got mine back from Audeze today. They replaced both drivers and attached new pads. Excellent customer service! As stupid as it sounds I'm rather proud to support companies like Audeze and Schiit. It is rare to come across companies doing the right thing these days. I'll make sure to...

Uh oh... I've stopped getting sound out of the left side.  I've tried two different cables and both of my dac/amp setups and there's nothing.  Does anyone have any ideas before I contact Audeze support?  I'm getting sick thinking about it.  Not even had them a year. 

I used my HD650's with a cheap FiiO E9 amp for a year.  It technically got the job done.  It provided enough power to make them loud enough, but it wasn't driving them to their full potential.  I upgraded to the Schiit Lyr (and Bifrost DAC) back then and I couldn't believe it, they sounded like...

  They're expensive, not overpriced.  They cost about as much as other TOTL headphones.

I don't know what's more entertaining- the people commenting about things they know nothing about or the Apple fanboys who think their iPods are irreplaceable... I think this is the coolest audio gadget I've seen from CES this year so far, at least in the "realistically affordable" category...

  I completely agree.  I'm definitely one of the crazy people who prefer the look and style of the LCD series over these.  These seem like they're trying too hard to look like Sennheisers.  Both flavors of veneer look incredibly tacky on top of it.

  Pfft.  You'll have to pry mine off my cold dead ears.

I've spent the evening listening to the Wyrd I got for Christmas and I've not gotten any USB weirdness from my Macbook Pro, so it seems it is doing its intended job. (woohoo!)  I am trying to convince myself that it isn't making any noticeable changes to the sound, but as several others have...

Still hoping to run across more interested people, especially those north of Madison and Milwaukee.  It is not worth the effort to try to get a local meetup going yet.  I guess living in/near a big city has benefits...

Been enjoying the LCD-X and Mj (and Gu) combo for almost 6 months now.  I couldn't possibly be happier.  I cannot really compare it to any other amp in a similar price range, but mark me down as another happy customer.  It sounds magnitudes better than the Magni, but it also costs magnitudes...
