The l3000's soundstage is bigger then most in height and width due to the large size of the driver- but the depth is nothing r10/he90 level. But how ever the soundstage has "the best" imaging creating this very natural sound- very realistic with live stuff. They are very balanced, large mids but yet great bass and treble.
Out of less expensive headphones, the only I think that may have a shot at having superior features would be the grado ps-1. I haven't heard it my self though, and someone said that the bass is comparable so who knows. It doesn't have any down right flaws but there are some areas which aren't strengths either (maybe soundstage depending on what your looking for). Strengths would be- Speed (but compared to some others 010, omegaII this could be a weakness), midrange, bass, high end , high detail

In what areas are less expensive headphones such as the HD 650, CD3000 or DT 880 still superior? How suitable is the L3000 for mere background/falling-asleep listening? If it's possible to sum it up, what are the L3000's major flaws/strengths? Sorry for the many questions but the weak dollar, all the praise surrounding these headphones and its availability from bluetin makes them really interesting. |
