If red is the only color then that tells me this is just meant to be a separate product from the consumer clear, rather than an improved clear

Thanks for the great explanation, i will look into the lz a7. Yea i would like to get maybe 40% improvement and would be willing to pay. I

Thank you I will check out the apex, i am sensitive with certain treble, not sure about upper mids. I would want to look for better seperation and a bit cleaner sound

Couple questions from an Iem noob I bought the t3 and they’re an incredible value. For those who have heard much higher priced iems are they a lot better or just marginally better than the t3? Typically at what iem price point will you need an external amp/dac for iems? And lastly if I like...

Wow that is something if the bass is that ample. I may have to buy these! It looks like a lot of retailers are out of stock however

Will these be a considerable upgrade from hd600? how about in terms of bass? Are these also going to be a lot brighter? I know the 600s are dark. I like my 600s, great value, but its time for an upgrade. One thing i know is that the 600s are bass anemic. I dont expend the 800s to be bass heavy...

I havent, and I admit I am hard headed about not going down the path of tips that I have to replace. I have used foam plugs before and know how dirty they get after just a few uses so ive stubbornly rejected using them.           Thanks I will try the wings.   For a test i found some...

Question on the fit of these. I have tiny ear canals and its hard for me to find any IEMs that stay in for me tbh. I use the small silicone tips and they begin to slide out within minutes. I know all iems have different size driver housings, but are there some out there that have a smaller piece...

Interesting, wonder if our different amp gear has any effect. I have the lowly magni2/modi2 but these still sound amazing. Or if it just personal prefs! I will say the x hits harder. But i def prefer a warmer signature

In case anyone is researching both headphones ...I dont know how some say the LCD-3 and LCD-X are close or a tossup. LCD-3 is clearly better. It is more detailed and polished while being more relaxed. X is a bit brighter and thumpier than the 3, but the character and texture of the 3 makes it...

Whats interesting is the a18 doenst appear to be a current model on their website. There is an a28 which is fully balanced and a couple hundred cheaper. A18 still available on ebay though     http://yulongaudio.com/en/products.asp

i assume this was paired with the lcd-3s? How about the dac?

Is there a consensus on a great amp pairing <1k for these?

everyone here is spot on. The other thing i like is they are extremely airy

Anyone with an idea how these ~$500 amps compare with the gustard h10? Are any of their Dac/Amp all in one s(nfb-28 nbfb-29) worth looking at?

Are people buying the h10 from amazon? shipped from china i assume? Smooth transaction/delivery?

The 560s gave my left ear a terrible ache everytime i listed for 10 minutes. Returned them in a week. My left ear has had problems over the years and is super sensitive to treble. Have the lcd-x's now which some call bright for audeze and i only have problems at really loud volumes or certain...

Update - after 10 hours of burning in, the treble and voices that were recessed are coming forward finally. Rejoice!

Do you all think this would be able to be retrofitted?

in the past week ive demo'd every single LCD model and none of them were as veiled and "all mids/lows" as this new pair 

Well i just got the lcd-x today and the highs seem totally recessed and bass is boomy, so go figure. I auditioned them on a broken in pair/diff amp a couple days ago and they werent nearly this concealed. Totally different sound. I assume its because these only have 3 hours break in? 

The last thing i needed to hear today is that the X is bright and harsh!
