These have somewhere under 10 hours of use with them. I enjoy the bass but decided to skip this price bracket and am saving for some LCD-X's. Very fun headphones especially for the right genres. Looking for $200 shipped to CONUS, or a discount on some LCD-X's.

Have: M50x X2-HR 99 Classics Want: LCD-X If only I could sell all my equipment and get the X, but then I'd have no amp/dac. :triportsad:

This is exactly why I'm about to sell most of my collection and pick up an LCD-X. I spend way too much time looking at mid-tier headphones when I already know the sound signature I like. I'm stoked to get them as basically my only pair and call it good. And maybe a pair of 1990's

Thanks buke. :) Modius. Too many hifi names floating around in my head lately.

EDIT: Modius! Not Magnius. Thank you for sharing your experiences with your setup, it's so similar to where mine is headed. Very glad to hear gently bumping the lows is a go. :) I ended up purchasing the Fidelio X2HR, Modius, and Liquid Carbon X, but I do want a pair of Sundara's, and I want...

I am loving the selection of books here. You have some great taste in philosophy. :) Also a very clean setup, only what you need.

Interesting introduction snakes, thanks for coming aboard. Welcome to the group. :)

I spent some years in Texas, glad to have you :)

I am excited my friend. I'd love to follow up when I get my gear, so I'll be sharing my thoughts then :)

This detailed of a response is simply amazing. I highly appreciate all the effort you put into helping me. Wow. There is such an overwhelming amount of information that I know I have to just start somewhere and dip my toes in the water. Thanks to your suggestions I looked further into Balanced...
