Yeah I see it.$1945...wow! that's a killer! Did they manager to improve the sound a lot again?! ..looks the same size, same weight as LCD 2.
Thanks for the information on LCD-3. I am going to cancel my order of LCD-2, enjoy my Denon and Sennheiser, and wait for the new one.
You should wait until Skylab can post impressions before cancelling the LCD-2s. There's a lot more information on them, and if the LCD-3 is really worth it you can sell the LCD-2s and Denons for the LCD-3.
I also would easily prefer the D7000 over the LCD. Comfort is a clear knockout for Denon. They're light enough that you can easily forget you're not wearing them. I find the Denons to be a very fun sound overall but not as accurate as the LCD except in the department of drums. For whatever reason no other headphones can create the same resonance of a drum as the Denons. They're quite amazing.
I know elwappo posted this 5 months ago, but I just wanted to thank him. My favorite band of all time is lead by its drummer, and so I find myself focusing more on drums in most songs than any other instrument. A lot of headphones and speaker systems can make guitars sound amazing, but drums?
I just bought my girlfriend a Grado SR225i for her birthday and was on the fence about whether I should put my tax return towards a better car or blow it on some D7000s. Elwappo's post just made me wanna get the D7000s and a motorcycle...
Wait... You can't wear LCD-2 Longer than 45 minutes?
That sucks!
Reason why I will never buy an Audeze in the foreseeable future:
Audeze is screwing themselves over with all the new high priced models they are releasing. In the last few years they've released LCD2, LCD2r2, and now LCD3. You know in the future they'll just release more models. LCD3r2, r3, LCD4, etc.
It's not a problem if the prices are a few hundred dollars, but when people spend $1000 even for the cheapest model, they would want something that is the best, not some guinea pig that Audeze will use to refine their next revision. If I spend $2000 for LCD-3 now, it better be the best sounding headphone I can buy from them in the next 5 years at the minimum.
Look at other high end models. Stax release their SR009. Their last one was SR007, which was a long time ago. Or even Sennheiser with the HD650, which has been their top model for so many years until the HD800.
