    The Dekoni Audio Blog! Content from our website and friends.

    My Abyss ab-1266 earpads are falling apart, and I really want to replace them with a Dekoni pair. Ever think about making a set? They are close to Audeze in size, I was thinking about buying the audeze version, and just removing the magnetic ring from the Abyss. Just a bit worried that once I...

    Audeze LCD-24 LIMITED EDITION - now including impressions and comparisons

    Just ignore the haters - honest reviews are more important than ever in our world of "sponsored" content. What I've found is our hearing is very subjective. A decent short article here: https://sound-au.com/articles/sound-illusion.htm - PM me if you would like some more scientific articles...

    Audeze LCD-24 LIMITED EDITION - now including impressions and comparisons

    Now a couple of weeks in, the 24 has the upper register airiness of the Empyrean - they are comparable..... the lower register detail of the 4's, with a small, but noticeable reduction in the "bass slam" , yet still superior in the lower registers in both detail and impact than the Empyreans.

    Audeze LCD-24 LIMITED EDITION - now including impressions and comparisons

    Since I'm a motorcycle rider, I can tell you my head circumference exactly - it's 60cm, which is a hat size 8. At the top of "large", or bottom of "xlarge" for most hats and helmets. Bigger then average (which is medium), but not quite a melon :>

    Audeze LCD-24 LIMITED EDITION - now including impressions and comparisons

    Meze headphones we're one of my favorites before doing this review. Frankly, I've been a fan of the company for a long time, and my collection goes back to their first audiophile attempt. Here's my three generations; After purchasing the Empyreans I went back to my lcd-3s and hifimans...

    Comment by 'alexzogh' in item 'Audeze LCD-24 Limited Edition'

    I try not to use any EQ or DSP in the signal path when doing an initial review - especially when comparing two different headphones. With that said, I've found the 24's respond very well to a high-quality parametric EQ. I use SSL E and G VST plugins in series, which are about as good as you can...

    Audeze LCD-24 LIMITED EDITION - now including impressions and comparisons

    I haven't used my 24's yet with any of my DAP's. I'll give them a listen over the weekend. I have an Ibasso 220 (with a couple of AMP's), a Shanling M0, and a Pono player (yes... kickstarter edition!). I mainly use IEM's with my DAP's.
