They might have lifetime warranty. But they might replace drivers with the latest version, which would sound quite different from a pre Fazor. Best to call them up and ask.
The prefazor im going to buy was in 11/2013, it has no longer warranty, does it??
In a method that the lcd 2 has the driver failure, can i ask the manufacture to repair it or replace driver fazor 2016 eventhought out of warranty date (pay fees, of course) ?

I'd check with Audeze first about warranty repairs, but if you just want the newer drivers you can just contact them and pay $150 (IIRC) and they will replace them with the current Fazors but as @MRC001
noted they will sound different, good or bad depends on what you like.
I see. But if i want the prefazor driver, will they have it to replace for me ?
At this time I don't think they would have the pre-fazor driver anymore, IIRC a few who sent in pre-fazor headphones for repairs got back fazor drivers. I think it would be best if you contacted Audeze directly and get it in writing what they will do for you if your pre-fazor driver needs to be repaired. All these driver revisions has been to correct driver failure issues so I don't think they would want to keep any old pre-fazor drivers in inventory.
Oh i just remember one thing, its about compare LCD 2 with Grado 325is ( is ,not e ). I know sound's LCD 2 are "dark" and 325is are "light" but I'm wonder if the treb on lcd 2 as "sparkling" as 325is ?
Oh i just remember one thing, its about compare LCD 2 with Grado 325is ............
I have only heard the 2016 Fazor version of the LCD's which aren't nearly as dark as the Pre-fazor. It's been a few years since I had the Grado 325is so I'm going off memory. My answer is clearly "No". The current version of the LCD is still not nearly as bright as the 325is. I have never found the new LCD to be harsh but the 325is were often walking that line and sometimes stepping over it. To my ears, the new LCD's have about the right amount of treble. You get the sparkle/detail but its not overblown. You also get a much more full and balanced sound with the LCD's vs the 325is.
I imagine the Pre Fazer LCD's to be a near polar opposite to the Grado 325is. One of the darkest headphones vs one of the brightest. A bass light headphone vs a bass heavy one, etc.
Completely different animals, the Grados throw you in front of the musicians or PA system with super raw (not necessarily harsh) sound, the 325is' sound stage and base is fairly adequate but the sound is slightly grainy....... in contrast the LCD2s are super lush, full bodied, wonderful base and treble wise never to offend with low distortion.
Yep i understand . The fact that i own a grado 325is now and i was curious how different of both (325is vs lcd 2) . The 325is and Rs1i are the two headphone only that i can hear with their treb as not harsh as the others like 225 or 125,80,... And after read what you said, i imagine the treb on lcd 2 is "softer" than the 325is but still detail, isn't it ?
