Regarding ANC, the XM3 have the darkest sounding cancellation. I recently updated the Sony's firmware to 4.2.2 and kept them on my head for the 40 mins it took to update them. The ANC was on but no audio playing through them. Every other headphone, including other Sony models and Bose models all...

Okay, today I went for another audition with a fresh mind and head and tried out both the XM3 and 700 side by side. The sound on the XM3 didn't seem that low-end like that day. It was fine. The comfort, which I originally said was fine on the 700, seems to be not holding up as much. It took me...

I finally got to try the Bose 700 out today at the Bose Store and the Sony XM3 at Best Buy, so two different (acoustical) areas. They were occasionally also playing subwoofers at the Bose Store. Tested with my 320 kbps offline tracks of Spotify Premium with iPhone 6+. I spent 20 minutes...

So far I've been using the Audeze preset in Roon. In Roon I have the option to select between minimum phase and linear phase. Today I downloaded the Reveal plug-in for use with Audirvana. Everything loads perfectly and works fine. I see the option for wet/dry and gain, but no option for...

If you get a chance to audition these before purchasing, please try to use these with the Reveal plugin for the LCD-2C (also in Roon). Set it to 100% wet with the linear phase EQ. There should be a 2-3 second delay in playback, which should let you know that it worked. I also have a -6.0 db...

Exactly.:thumbsup: I stopped using my other headphones with Sonarworks at my desk because of how much easier the LCD-2C's are on my ears in comparison to others.

It's excellent and I use the plugin for the LCD-2C in Roon exclusively. I run it at 100% wet (full EQ curve applied) with linear phase. I still use the LCD-2Cs without any EQ when occasionally watching stuff on Youtube/Netflix, but for serious Roon listening, I definitely prefer the use of the...

It's been 3 months. Please feel free to post your reviews / long term impression of the LCD-2C, or link to other reviews here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/audeze-lcd-2c-classic-reviews-long-term-listening-impressions-only.867954/

I haven't made up my mind on the Reveal plug-in yet vs. the stock, but regardless, these have served me wonderfully since I got them back in December. Comfort is not a concern with these. Overall, I'd definitely recommend them.

The normal LCD-2 EQ on Roon is not suited for LCD-2C. The 2C is definitely better suited for the 2C. With the normal LCD-2 EQ on the 2C, you'll hear differences in bass and midrange response. However, there is something irritating about the sound after awhile. I preferred no EQ over the LCD-2...

For anyone that doesn't like the comfort (clamping force) or sound quality upon getting it, give it some time. The earpads get broken in and you will notice less suction effect. The headband will also clamp less over time. You can also stretch it out if needed. I remember it being very hard in...

Leave them both on 24/7 with something running through them. I'd love to hear how you feel a week or two later.

I only got to put an hour in so far, but I think it's done well with the right approach. Nothing irritating either. I need more time to get used to it. I prefer Audeze's touch over Sonarworks.

I noticed that Roon now has the dedicated 2C preset. Giving that a try now. Linear and 100% wet.
