Just regarding cosmetics, Is that plastic surrounding the cups? Also are they heavy?
 
Thanks for the photos much appreciated

I don't recall feeling anything plasticky however I could take a 2nd look tomorrow. As I was unfamiliar with the LCDs in general, I'd have to say purely based on feel, I do not recall feeling it heavier than the LCD-3's or LCD-2's. If they are, I didn't notice it.

 
Checked about the frame around the cups, wooden (painted?) black.

How heavy is it?
 

 
 
the first question that popped into my mind. considering i sold the lcd-3 because of ergnomic preferences I think this would seal the deal for alot of headfiers who've been avoiding the lcd line so far cus they prefer lighter, less obstrusive headphones! i think it's audeze went that route!

They're still heavy. But honestly, it's hard to really tell. LCD-2/LCD-3/HE-6 all feel about the same to me weight wise.

Any official thread about these headphones? Looking forward to seeing the comparison between this pair and LCDs.

it isn't the weight as is the claustrophobic clamp on the head. i think most of the weight rests on the pate of the head anyway. these just need to FEEL lighter on the temples to be alot easier to use for long periods of time. with the lcd3 i thought they made a headphone that was acceptable in this regard, but that was until i tried stax. even hd800 is way more comfortable for long periods cus the clamp on the temples is much better dispersed.

çhey and about the comfort any improvement over the lcd 2 rev 2 (because in the photo the pads is similar to the lcd 3 pads )?

Gack... of course the price had to go up even further beyond the LCD3s... It would be nice if they did a more accessible LCD2-derived version as well.
