I just placed my order as well and they are an authorized dealer. Super pumped and the 25% discount clenched the deal!!

Hi all,
 
 
Can any of you confirm if the LCD 2f has the same type of glare in the higher frequencies that the LCD 3f has?

Hi all,

I found the LCD3 to be a better performer in this regard. The LCD2 feels darker, but has more vocal glare and the treble is a little tougher

The LCD3F has more resolution everywhere and is smoother imo

There is enough variation in units that it could just be luck of the draw.

I have loved both LCD3Fs I've heard though. The only time I've found the 3Fs 'glaring' is when I first heard them out of my droid max to a WA7, with the expectation of them being super dark

While i have not heard the 3F, unfortunately, I have the 2F and the treble is not what i'd call glaring. The headohones are not as dark as i would have imagined but its far from bright/glaring. Highs are still smooth and unfatiguing IMO

Is the lcd-3f heads and shoulders above in regards to resolution? or does it barely inch past the lcd 2f?

LCD3 resolution is definitely better, but not ridiculous like the difference between LCD2 and HD800. LCD3 sounds more refined, detailed, but smoother. Cleaner, with slightly bigger soundstage. I've listened to it a couple times, but the LCD2 is still really competitive. I don't really miss the LCD3s even if I would like to own them

I don't think they're heads and shoulders more resolving though

​Never spent so much on headphones in my life (even with the $250 discount [total $750]). The LCD2s better blow my ******* mind. I really want to like them, and I really don't want to return them.
​
​Edit: and I don't think the weight is going to bother me (motorcycle helmets ftw).

I wouldn't go with "blow my ******** mind" lol, but you will definitely appreciate the obvious improvements more and more IMO

The LCD-2s are a lot brighter than I imagined. I have to turn down the volume to not be fatigued. Seems like $1000+ hi-fi headphones have sacrificed technicality and analytical sound over enjoyment.

That's why I keep the HD650 in my collection for when I want to listen to music without being analytical about it.

Honestly, the major thing $1000+ headphones have over mid-fi ones like the hd650 is hearing the artist breathing, or other miniscule sounds in the background like noise, which doesnt do anything for you as a consumer. It might be useful for the the sound engineer. You are basically paying like 3x the price of mid-fi to hear redundant sounds in the recording, like hiss.

How many $1000+ headphones have you heard?
 
I've never heard the LCD2 described as a good headphone for production
