Anyone has tried Dekoni Fenestrated Sheepskin earpads with 2CB?
I liked the look of Dekoni case, but I don't have it or used it. You should look for some reviews...Hi all,
Have an LCD-2 Closed on the way, and intend to use it at work. Does anyone have recommendations for a good transport case? Preferably on the smaller side - big enough to fit it, but small enough to maybe put inside a backpack?
It could be that the pads are putting pressure on your trigeminal nerve; the stock pads on my Audeze LCD2 Closed Backs started peeling off and deforming for some reason, and I had a similar discomfort. I recently upgraded to a pair of AHG sheepskins, and they seem to be doing better, albeit they are shallower, sound hasn't changed for the worse, however.Looking for some advice, I’ve had my LCD 2 Closed back for about 3 months and I love the sound of these cans. However over the past couple of months I’ve been getting ear pain with left ear and it seems to only be irritated after an hour wearing them. I need to stop listening to them for a good few days but any time I go back to them I have the same issue. I also own a focal clear and Audioquest Nighthawk carbon which cause no pain so I’m not sure what the issue could be. I listen to music at moderate levels as well. Anyone else have this issue?

Then perhaps it's not the material of the pad, but the shape of them in general; or are you suspecting it is the sound per se that is causing the pain?I’ve tried swapping pads and I still get the same pain with my left ear. My right ear seems fine. I’m not sure if it’s just planar headphones or Audeze headphones but when I use them the next day that’s when I get really bad earache and and just under my ear as well.

A high pain might be stemming from some sort of developing lesion, it might be worth checking that out with your ORL medic!It’s strange because my dynamic driver headphones are fine and I experience no pain. Mind you the Audeze are a lot heavier so that play a factor in it as well. I do love these headphones and begrudge letting them go but I may have no choice due to the pain I get after using them.
This seems quite enough to me.How much power do the LCD-2 closed need? I have a Vali 2 I'm using with HD600's and am looking for a set of closed back HP's.
Vali 2:
Maximum Power, 32 ohms: 1500mW RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 50 ohms: 1000mW RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 300 ohms: 400mW RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 600 ohms: 200mW RMS per channel
Thanks for any help
I haven’t tried them on the Vali 2 but that has substantially more power than the single-ended headphone out on the Zen DAC v1 and they drive the LCD-2 Closed adequately, so I’d wager that the Vali 2 is plenty of power.How much power do the LCD-2 closed need?
