This is a review of a pair of free IEM's I recieved from DUNU as part of a give away contest they recently held here on Head-fi.
When I recieved my package the first thing I notices was...
Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...
Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...
I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...
I think head-fiers in general are just more likely to buy the LCD-2. I would say that Audeze has become somewhat of a "beloved" on head-fi more than Hifiman, whether deserved or not. The LCD-2 inhabits the place that the HD650 did when it was still a flagship.
To put it in perspective, when I go to a Seattle meet, there is about 6 lcd 2 at it but I have only seen 1 he6, 1 he500, and 1 he400 combined at the last 3 meets.
Probably moving up to LCD-3, big expectations for it since LCD-2 was flavor of the month quite a bit. I honestly found it difficult to not like the LCD-2 even though I love my analytical sound.
Lots of LCD-2 out there, so lots of them making the rounds too. I do think HifiMan (especially the HE-500) tends to get undeservedly overshadowed, though in many ways they are just as good.
