Did I miss a post? No one has posted saying that this is a bad purchase. I and a few others just opined that it seems a tad pricey.

Lark Ascending is a classic as the Pastoral Symphony
I put one in my cart but held off as they don't quote USPS shipping and $41 is too much considering they could Priority Mail it for less than $10. It looks like the perfect solution but I don't need it ATM; it's strictly a luxury item.
I got quoted for $12.50 2nd day UPS to Federal Way, WA using the Audeze checkout.

it looks nice but I will hold off for a while as I very much like the metal and foam band of the existing one. If I was finding comfort an issue that would be different. Kind of like that the existing band looks different from the norm.
But good work on Audeze's part. I don't think it too expensive especially as it is a low volume craftsman made item. Just think how much a pair of mass made plastic Nike's cost!

So now the LCD-2 is finished?
I would guess no more tweaks.
Yes Finally the LCD2 is finished! All trace of DIY look is gone with the new headband. I so wish to have more money to buy a new pair with this headband with all the talk that the new one sounds a little bit different. I am telling myself that the sound difference in the new one, if at all, would amount to less than differences in recording variations.

I think everyone is missing that for a $100 you are not just getting the leather pads but the whole headband assembly. Leather pad, steel band and polymer blocks.

that leather headband looks nice/comfy, but with shipping to the UK + VAT and Import Duty i'd be looking at £120+ / $192.

Does anybody know the diameter of the cups?
I would probably just sell the whole LCD-2 shooting match (WA22, tubes, LCD-2, cables) and go with the transportable setup from ALO/RWA before I would replace the headband anyways.
I'm not saying that I will but it's a thought

Now we know where you are
Isn't everything shipped to you extremely expensive?

Not if everything is shipped through the post office, then it's pretty much the same which was my original point.

Now we are introducing revision2 of the driver. The LCD-2s as a model remain the same. Newer LCD-2 shipments from middle of June have revision2 of the driver.
Does the sonic signature change ?
Revision 2 transducer has the same mechanical construction as original transducer, but uses newly developed, thinner and more reliable diaphragm material. Overall sound signature remains similar. Low frequencies stay flat, but are tighter and even more extended (flat to 5 Hz), midrange is smoother and more transparent, while high frequencies are more extended, detailed and more pronounced. With Rev.2 we are addressing concerns of many customers who feel that original LCD2 has darker high frequency signature than many top of the line headphones.
While overall sonic signature remains similar, new revision provides substantial improvement in sound quality (this is no hyperbole), sound resolution and especially imaging, which is wider, more stable and 3 dimensional. If you loved the LCD-2 sonic signature, you will like the new one even more.
