Hi all, my lovely LCD-2 one of the drivers gone faulty. The out of warranty repair with Audeze is expensive. Is there any cost effective way to get these fixed? Or is it time to say good bye to these?

Thanks for your help.

What do you like and not like about them? Music you listen to? Equipment?

I love everything about these. The sound signature is to my liking as well. I mostly like rock, psychedelic rock and sometime easy listening. I have tried few different sources but the Colorfly U6 beats them all and these headphones shine with this lovely player. The only thing I don't like is the repair cost. I can pick up a second hand headphones for that price hence asking if there is any cost effective way to get these fixed.

Would u buy used or use EQ?

I normally don't use EQ but when I do I use preset equaliser settings mainly "Rock".

No. You pay Audeze to replace both drivers. LCD2 driver replacement is very reasonable all things considered.

The qouted repair cost is around £560 which I think is high as the secondhand ones are available online around that price.

Your out of warranty 2nd hand pair could break the next day for all you know.

That's true as well!

Speaking for myself, I would always recommend the option that guarantees support. When you replace drivers through Audeze, you get renewed 3 years of warranty on them. 1 year on pads (as they have parts warranty, and must be replaced at time of driver repair service).

When you buy second hand, we honor warranty if the original seller gave you a copy of their invoice, which we will go by purchase date. However, if you do not have that, we go through serial number (manufactured date). So both these options like give you much less warranty period.
