Pros: Hefty, deep, awesome bass. Liquid mids. build quality
Cons: Lacks a bit of air in the upper frequencies. Soundstage can't compare to HD 800 or Stax lambda Pro. Clamping force is a bit high.

Kick-ass sounding headphone! Deliciously smooth sounding but with temper. It's like a hard-core, badass professional army soldier with the voice of a god. Grain-free, hefty, enjoyable sound from these.
Compared to the HD 800, they fall short in terms of sound staging and comfort (though these are still comfortable) but the upper midrange/lower treble peak (unnatural presenting of "sss") simply isn't there with the LCD-2. The HD 800 has much more air though, and sound a bit more balanced to me. LCD-2 really comes to life at higher volumes, while the HD 800 really works best at medium volume levels. The LCD-2 is slightly dark, wonderful and masculine, the HD 800 is neutral, airy and spacious. Both are great in their own ways and complement each other nicely, but I simply LOVE the LCD-2. Next headphone buy for me!
One side note; the HD 800 and LCD-2 kick equally hard to my ears, it's the heft and deep notes that separates them.
