The one thing I'm loving most about these is that at $399, I think they are the least expensive "Made In The USA" headphones now available.

God bless good ol' American ingenuity!

You're probably listening to total crap like the M1060 then lol

No, some of the Audeze stuff actually... Hey don't get me wrong, I love planar. Rocking CL2, and planning on getting a planar set of cans, but I'm planning on getting a used pair of the Arya. That's the sweet spot for me...

OK. But I've heard several planar headphones below 1200 and they don't sound that great..... Bass Is usually a mess.

Don't know what you listen to but for YEARS the HFM HE400 Rev. 2 was beloved for its fantastic bass section.

Or MrSpeakers stuff. There's plenty out there that do quite well and you don't need to spend a large amount of money for. Part of the experience should be to find these lower cost options that put higher cost things to shame at times. Like the DT880 being a headphone some people would still choose over any higher price Beyer teslas. Over even AKG K60x series being preferred over the higher prices K70X series to some.

My bathwater is warm. I use this term often by myself, but it´s not really precise to describe a sound signature.

He's talking about the EQ presets. Those are the actual names of those presets in Mobius and I've tried them all

Good to know. This next Canjam NYC I'm going to focus on headphones and desktop source. I'm set for IEMs and portable for now.

To me, the LCD-1 sounds like the LCD-X but with a more exciting treble response. For an Audeze headphone, it's extraordinarily lightweight. I can see this headphone being a great for working out with, or for bringing to a meetup easily.

Who works out with wired open-back headphones made out of genuine leather?

I use warm for sound signature a lot because I think it's self explanatory to anyone that's been around long enough to grasp the audiophile definition of what warm is. You can have a sound that is warmer, softer, thicker than neutral, or dry, sterile, lean...cold signatures.

I dunno. Warm is just fine to me.

Yeah if you're liking the Hifiman tone then Audeze might not be your thing at all. The "big" LCDs are the polar opposite FR from the Hifiman stuff, on the warm and syrupy side instead.

Just look at your own explanation: warm, cold, softer, thick and sterile... . It provides a lot of room for interpretation.

Exactly, that's what I heard...

Maybe for you, but I haven't heard anyone prize of this thread that wouldn't know what a warm headphone is next to a cold one. Unless you're an absolute rookie to the headphone game.

This is music after all, not math.

What is a cold headphone? Is it analytical or what? What´s the opposite of analytical to lively?
Our winters are cold.

Can`t find the term cold!

Edit: softer and sterile too!
