The LP2 is like the original LP but it's more for the DJ in the sense of durability. It's like they took the M80s and sized them up. I for one own a pair of the original Crossfade LPs and they sound great and look sleek. Also, here's a repsonse from V-MODA regarding the differences:
"LP2 is slightly refined in the mids/highs -fine tuned like a remaster. it's a rev though, not an all new sound signature and limited edition color/finish. I'll post FREQUENCY responses of LP vs LP2 soon"
This is the best review on LP2 I was able to find in days. THANKS!
I am down with my preference to 3 models and cannot decide which one to get. Can you give me your opinion?
1) Pioneer HDJ-2000
2)V-Moda LP2
3)Technics RD-DH1200
Thanks
I 've only heard stuff about the first two. In all honesty, it boils down to what you're looking for in a headphone and the pricing. I'd say more, but I'm biased because I quite like and enjoy my LP2.
The LP2 is upgraded LP.
I had to correct because IMHO the M-80 is higher quality. V-Moda said something about a 50mm circumaural version of the M-80 in 2012.
Great review, and I'll try to help clear up the LP vs. LP2 confusion (I have the original LP's) The LP2's sacrifice a tiny bit of bass and refine the mids and highs. They aren't a replacement of the LP's, just a different sound signature.
A close friend of mine picked up the LP2's and they sound VERY similar to the LP's, but having said that, mine are broken in and I've heard that these cans really open up after about 24 - 48 hours of use.
Personally I went with the original LP's because I preferred their soundstage to the LP2's, but sound is person-specific so it's really the listeners deal.
Both LP and LP2 though claim to have military-grade construction, and I can testify to that. I can be pretty hard on my equipment, multiple drops/accidents with them (kids!), but they still look new, and sound like I bought them just a week ago.
Whichever model you go for, you'll be pretty damn happy with them. And you can smirk at everyone wearing Beats Studios because you paid less than half for twice the performance.
