Audez'e LCD 2 vs beats PRO by dr dre WITHOUT AMP  

Is this a joke and/or trick question? 

Either a simple attempt at a troll, or someone who has done no research.

I will attempt to respond as if you are being serious and not trolling for the sake of it.  By the title of your post you "appear" to be equating money spent into value, simply put if you are considering either of your options you are sadly mistaken.

The ipad2 will not be able to sufficiently drive the LCD2, and the Beats are seriously over priced even if the ipad2 can drive them to their full (average) potential.

I recommend some research before investing this sort of money, and if this thread is a cry for suggestions then I am sure people will gladly offer advice if you simply give more detail on your musical tastes and listening habits.  Simple reading will let you find out if you require open/closed cans, and some idea of your musical taste will allow others to help you.

Almost impossible to advise any further without more information.

lol

Beats for sure. LCD2's are crap anyway. The beats will be just like you had 2 12 inch subs to your ears.

LCD-2 IMO, they'll still sound decent.

But your personal preferences will ultimately decide which is better for you, and that's all that matters in the end.

Let me seee...

Burn money on LCD that cant be driven

Burn money on over priced cans that may not be sufficiently driven either

Your money, burn it how you like :D

What.. Even a tiny Sansa clip+ mp3 player can drive the LCD2 and it will sound good.

You seem to have an amazing attitude.

This question is ridiculous. Buy the Prada headphones!

nonsense! Buy tesla t1's and plug them into the microphone jack on your computer's sound card. best microphone ever.

Depends on how loud you want to listen.

Anyone know what sort of power or voltage the iPad 2 outputs?

Wait...are you also that guy who knowingly bought fake beats?! 

Anyone saying beats pros won't be driven is full of it. They are way to damn loud even at 50% on my iPhone. In the end I think you should look into cheaper headphones. If the sound on the beats pros don't drive you crazy the comfort will. It's like having bricks on your ears. But I think they sound alright if they were under $300. If they went for $250 they would be average.
