This sucks, least I still got the HE1000 & Ether C working great though.
Good luck in finally getting it sorted out. Just dont be jinxing yourself

I could live with one failure, but sending me back a pair of headphones and apparently nothing was done with them?!? How does that even happen. I'm looking at my service request now too and they broke on the 15th of December, so I've been without them for nearly a month now and who knows how long this next ordeal will take them.
Maybe they fixed it and the repaired unit broke during shipment? Go read the LCD-3 Failure thread :-/
As for the people with the X and XC, both of those the and the LCD-2/2.1/2.2 have not had the same driver troubles as the LCD-3 and now LCD-4. The one upside of the the other thread was that it was sort of found that the LCD-3 or 3F can break at any time. Used or unused. Right after purchase or right after repair. But the LCD-X and XC seemed to be a safe bet for reliability.
Good luck, darko.
I contacted Audeze about the suspension band touching the headband and how uncomfortable the hot spot is. They are apparently revising the headband and sending along a new headband in about a week. For those that are having this issue, it's probably worth a call into Audeze. They said that they're behind on responding to support requests because of CES before and now a bunch of them are out sick. Good luck - looking forward to these being more comfortable when I have a suspension strap that actually suspends..
I find the the LCD4 very comfortable. Grado GH1s they are not. But still, for a substantial headphone, they are fine. (And I can't get enough of their sound. A super phone that gets even better--no longer peaky-- w/some break-in. Sweet and natural highs and mids and vocals, incredibly organic well-integrated powerful bass. A dramatic presentation, but good believable drama, not overdone, not overwhelming at any frequency.)
If you truly love them give them one more chance - I'm sure they will bend over backwards trying to help you. Any more failures and I would part ways with the product and the company all together, until they have built up a history of the LCD range being more reliable.
