    Audeze LCD-2 vs Grado GS1000i

    I think it's because some people rely too much on graphs rather than feel and sound. They are skewed by a review before they listen and the effect dominos. Then again, some may really love the lcds. None of us hear the same though. Matter of fact, I use smaller ear pads on my gs1ks which some...

    Bummed.. I may have to sell my gs1000i's :(. What a sad realization. I just bought the things too. Wahhh I friggin love these things so far. The way they make my piano sound is just unreal. I'm gonna listen to them to death before I put them up for sale.

    I'm a Bach whore.. Ha kinda like he was himself. And Rachmaninov, tons of rap, tons of classic rock, tons of everything. End of the day, it's all about that Joplin and Bach. Beautiful minds. Music is music. I don't understand what "real music" is lol. Edit: Scott Jolin. I don't know anything...

    I've always had issues with high frequencies and knew it was bad, but that was an eye opener. Low level listening for me that's for sure lol

    You know what? I think the dragonfly is a poor match for these gs1000is.. I actually prefer the sound straight from my phone. It's funny because the dragonfly was magical for the rs2s. But I still say, out of the piano. Oh my god. Dat sounnnddddd is dreamy.

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    I picture a piano as a speaker at times. Do all pianos have this notion of "flatness?" Absolutely not. We can alter and change it to how ever we want. So some people don't like a flat sound. Some can't tolerate highs, and some lows. To tell someone they should hate beats because they don't...

    Haha well I'm 28 and I have no issue with it myself. On a YouTube test with audezes, I couldn't hear over 4,000hz. I know it's not a legit test, But other people that did it with me Could hear up near 15-19,000!! I'm doomed

    Have you guys ever listened to akg k44s? They are only 19 bucks right now... I highly recommend you locate them in the store, scope them out, and walk in the opposite direction as fast as you can. See a therapist after to erase the thought of ever seeing them. Just saying.

    Gs1000s came in today. The difference between the lcd2s and the gs1000 plugged into my Roland piano is massive. The gs1000s are miles ahead in piano performance. I was tempted to buy a nord piano 2 because I felt bored of my pianos sound, but it feels like a new piano all over again. Sound is...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    You have to be an audiophile to have an opinion? That confused me lol. Someone was wearing my sr80s backwards last night. They put the vent over their ears instead of the ear pad. They probably sounded pretty decent anyways so I let it be.

    I thought they would compliment my grados perfectly and in a way they did, but there was an "a" factor about wearing them.. Okay no more lcd2 talk. I'm disappointed they didn't work out for me and my needs. Starting to make me wish I was born a different person all together ha

    The solo in "miracles out of no where" is one of my all time favorites (Next to riders on the storms and hotel Cali's solos lol)

    I flat out love how these are made. <3. It's why I'm such a supporter.

    Pretty close. I don't consider myself an audiophile. The lcds do sound fantastic. I mean they are a seriously impressive headphone, but my personal taste didn't enjoy them. They delivered beautiful bass, but the way grados do it is so nice. It's almost like when the bass hits, they are hopping...

    The weight and how it felt in general. I was so used to forgetting I was wearing anything. Also, the sound too muddy for me. My hearing isn't very good. The better option would have been hd800s, but as I mentioned above (kinda), it's a psychological thing. A piano is a crafted instrument. To...

    I I tried the hd598s. Very comfy, but something about the grados feel very organic. The resonance feels fantastic. If I wasn't going to play a real piano, the experience had to be as organic as possible meaning the action and the sound has to be just right. The rs2s brought me extremely...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    No ones ever cared about what my headphones sound like. They get used by everyone cause they just sit at the computer. I don't think anyone's ever noticed anything exciting about them.

    Maybe it's just me then. I've mentioned before that these get a lot of piano time. With the lcd2s, I found it hard to focus on practicing even after a short period of time. With the Grados, I forget they are even there.

    I thought the 325s were very uncomfy, but when you go wooden grados and feel their comfort, there's no getting away from it.
