I very much enjoyed your excellent, detailed review! I am also surprised so few people have commented. I was particularly interested in reading your comparison of the HEDD, which I have never heard. I do own the Audeze LCD-3 pre-fazor. I am the original owner. I thought the original drivers too...

I completely agree with your assessment! Best portable headphones I have ever owned. Also great for listening in bed without disturbing wife.

I have the first gen. IMO, they is too bright due to a very defined spike at 8k. I equalize the 8k down 4-5 db. This make them among the best headphones I have owned. Because they are light weight, solidly built, they mate well with all of my amps, and they have great base, they get most of...

I found the HD-800 to be bright, but partially due to a peak around 8K. IMO, the Utopia is not bright at all with the except of a similar, but smaller, amplitude volume bump near 8K. I am not a purest and I like to keep things simple, so I equalize down 3 db at 8K. For me problem solved.

If in very good condition, that is an excellent buy, IMO.

I also recently bought a Focal Utopia. Outstanding headphone! Highly recommended it. Around the same time I bought a graphic equalizer to mate with my Audeze LCD-3 Classic. Although I prefer headphones that do not need EQ, IMO the the treble from the LCD-3C is overly represses. Once I...

EDITED 11/2/19 - I just got a Beyerdynamic A2 Headphone Amplifier. It is a few years old and I bought it used (since it was reasonably priced and quality amps tend to last for many, many years). I bought it to have multiple setups in my house and in particularly to use with my Audeze LCD-3...

I use an old Beyerdynamic DT880 soft sided case to transport my headphones that do not have a travel case.

Definitely my Ultrasone Signature Pro. Great sound although slightly base heavy. Great case for travel. Light weight for full size headphone. No sound leakage. Great for watching movies on iPad or listening to music in bed while my wife is sleeping.

Great review. Thanks for calling it to our attention.

So sorry to hear about car mishap. I usually do not think of headfi meets as dangerous. Look forward to pics.

I am an old Dunwoody Atlantean, now in Dallas. The meet location looks beautify, and I found the three Oak Forest Audio YouTube videos. Thank you. Did anyone post more pictures of the meet, people, gear, etc.?

Thank you Nick. Your are a great host that know how to treat old and new friends. I have been wondering about the LCD X and had a great time comparing the LCD 3 and LCD X. I had both plugged into my two jack beta 22 amp for 1/2 hour +. The LCD3 was upgraded by Audeze about a year ago. The LCD3...

I had a great comparison of the LCD 3 and LCD X Sunday at the Dallas meet. I had both plugged into my two jack beta 22 amp for 1/2 hour +. The LCD3 was upgraded by Audeze about a year ago. The LCD3 took move volume to drive. The b22 had no trouble driving either. In my opinion: o Both are...

Great news!  I will be there.
