LCD2 might provide you more bass impact for those big movie orchestral scores. Both are great phones.

choose one ?

I can't choose for you, as I do not  know what type of sound you prefer.  I personally prefer a bit of lushness to the tone of a phone, so I prefer Audeze.

I just compared my LCD-2 rev1 to a friend's LCD-2F, which she bought a month ago straight from Audeze. Seems to me they lowered the bass and turned up the highs? I can hear all the same details in both revisions, but I feel the fazors artificially pushes the highs up way too much.

I thought if you had a fast driver, like a planar, you wouldnt need to artificially raise the highs to show detail? I'm kind of perplexed by this. 


I don't think that was their intention as per https://www.audeze.com/technology/tech-tour/fazor-elements.

Let me tell that I use most of the movies

Who will I?


You know there's only one choice...the LCD 2. HE560 is too unremarkable, there's nothing exciting about it and the bass does not hold a candle to the 2s.

You should also consider that the HE-560 is more comfortable to wear for long periods than the LCD. That being said, the I much prefer the sound of the LCD to the HE-560.

For watching movies I would get HD-700, very comfortable, easy to drive and wide sound stage.  And depending on your music preference they are good with classic rock, some jazz, classical and some pop.

If you're looking for headphones to wear all day long, for everything, I feel comfort becomes the top priority. Even above sound quality. Get the HD600 or HD650. They sound excellent, maybe not as good as the LCD-2, but excellent nonetheless, and they can be worn forever, without fatigue or discomfort of any sort.

How are the 700s with explosions and large cinematic orchestral music?

For my GF and I its great, I like it much better than the LCD-2 for movie watching, gaming, and even classical.  For my GF its the weight of the LCD-2 that is deal breaker, it could be the best sounding headphone but if you can't listen to them for more than a few minutes it doesn't matter.  The LCD-2 just doesn't give you that large grand sound stage that movie cinematic can have.
