Noticed something a little different about my set.... the cups cable housing is black rather than chome like I see on most pictures online of the LCD-X.. the inspection date is 4/12/16.. Anyone else's look like this?

Nice, you've got the all blacked out version!!!
 
I still prefer the original prototypes which had a gunmetal housing:

Yeah nice. Black is better than chrome. The chrome shows every finger print. Black is far more practical.

Enjoy your new cans.

  Got the headphones today and have to admit... They do sound friggin amazing right out of the HA-2!!!

 
It honestly surprised the hell out of me, man...it's a ridiculously good pairing.

Just upgraded my system.
 
Previously I was using:
 
  1. Schiit Asgard 2
  2. Schiit Uber Bifrost
  3. LCD-X
 
I bought the 4490 upgrade to my Bifrost.
 
And I bought the new Ember 2 amp from www.Garage1217.com.
 
The Ember 2 amp makes a serious difference with my LCD-X's. Really opens them up. Big difference.
 
The price is more than right. And it is far superior to my ears than the Asgard 2.
 
I wrote more extensive thoughts about this here if anyone wants to check it out.

My LCD-X's sound like they have reached a whole new peak. And the amount of money it cost is... well, my wallet is happy and my ears are having eargasms.

Anyone here have experience with the fiber suspension strap headband?
 
Is it worth $200? Does it make a big difference - meaning it makes the headphones more comfortable?
 
Can it be in leather?
 
Any place we can see a pic of it?

Ive had it for a while now on my X...it makes a big difference yep. I posted some pics a few months back in this thread (or may have been the lcd4 thread)...ill PM them to you if you like.

I cant say whether the price will be worth it for u, but I find it a fantastic upgrade.
