Thanks for this, sounds really exciting! I only have a Marantz HD-AMP1 at the moment, but it doesn't have problems driving the LCD 2C(70ohm). Actually it drives them louder than LCD-X which has 20ohm, because of crappy high output impedance(90ohms, What ?...I know) so there is a lot of current...

tempted to swap the LCD 2C for these but some YouTube reviewers really trashed them and said they are beat by Sundara

I see you own the D7200 & Arya. I own the D7200 & LCD-X. I love LCD-X, it's such a 3D effect when changing from the D7200, also bigger. They can punch/slam almost as hard as the D7200 (need a bit more EQ to get there, sounds flatter stock). Can the GL2000 be EQ'ed to have decent slam ? I am a...

Interesting. I was wondering if it's worth adding a chord Mojo as a DAC. I have a D7200, LCD-2C and now an LCD-X and I am very pretentious about the low-end always. If the mojo would give me only better bass, it would probably be worth it still.

The only way someone would find them comparable would be if they are using very poor amplification for the 2C. I also think the X2 are great for the price, and very comfy, but you can't compare them with 500-1000$ headphones

Really X2 can't compare to the bass the 2C is able to produce. Not even close, dunno what amps your using for the 2C but this comparison is blasphemy! Out of my 2C, Denon D7200, K712 &K812, I think the X2 has the most muddy bass, with K712 being pretty close. But the others are at least 1 or 2...

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. Still if I do this with my K812 which have muddy bass and low volume on normal mode , it definitely makes them louder and fuller sounding, tightening up the bass a lot.

But i am curious. Can the V30 drive something like an LCD-3 ?

I have the X2, just take the cable out of your headphone and plug it in the v30 then in the X2..and you're in high impedance mode. Works for any low impedance headphone with a removable cable.

The low end on these is really addictive. I listened to these side by side with my K812 and the detail is pretty much there really, just way more relaxed in the treble which is why I got these, to be my "fun, basshead" cans. The K812 also have a 1.5 tesla magnet with a 53mm driver but they...

I am also interrsted in this.

I don live in the US which makes it less so. I read they are more muddy in comparison altough elsewhere I read they are the same. it"s rather confusing. Do the denon not offer more but a different tuning ?

I own the sony mdr1000mx3 and the X2's, I wouldn't say they sound the same but they work fine for travelling. Sony might have boosted bass and decent clarity but soundstage is just way bigger on the X2 with detail. Still, i found comfort and nc very good on the sony, I like it's commands and how...

K712 is hard(er) to drive than X2, also while it has a more 3D soundstage than the 2D sounding X2, the added bass on the Phillips makes for a more fun gaming experience where it involves a lot of lows/explosions etc. I can drive the X2 just fine off my LG V30 without the amp activated, it...

So I can get a 2years mint condition Fostex for 350€ vs brand new 24month warranty Denon for 500€ which I find both to be good prices. I want a headphone to satisfy my bass needs basically. Subbass is my focus when judging bass along with impact/slam. IF bass is really close I would pick the...
