I want to share an experience with you that might help some people avoid investing in a pair of headphones they don't like:
After months of research, reading every review I could find, watching every video there is on YouTube I decided to buy the LCD-2C's. I was really sure they would fit me perfect.
But then again, how could I have been without hearing them?
So I went to a HiFi shop that is located a few hours away from my home, to try them anyways.
Listening to them, I knew immediately that they don't fit my taste. It was even more obvious when comparing them to other HPs. I was really happy I didn't buy them already... I would have wasted 799.- for a pair of headphones I don't like.
In conclusion; Try headphones before buying. You might have luck and have the same ears and taste as the reviewer, but IMO, for expansive headphones the risk is just too high. Even if you have to drive a few hours to the nearest HiFi shop, it's worth it. The internet is no substitution for a real life experience.
P.S. I don't think the LCD-2C is a bad headphone, it just doesn't fit me.
