You Better buy the Bieber's justbeats. 

 

[slaw slaw]

No one has bothered to say, even though OP specifically asked which one is better, that it would be a complete waste of money on either?  Also, its difficult to compare them, like asking someone if they prefer, say, bacon or milk.  You like them both, but for different reasons.

BTW people i know LCD2 are better by WAY far with amp, but my question was who is better with out AMP

LCD-2, but it doesn't mean you'll like it over the beats.
 
It's not about finding the best, it's about finding the best for you.

wise words

i use the lcd2 out of ipod when out studying.. sounds great actually.. tried the beats out of curiousity due to all the comments here.. cant say it was horrible but i would compare them with my old k81dj which are less than 100?

lcd2 imo

I tried the LCD-2 (rev2) out of an mp3 player, and i had to set the volume at 70% to have a reasonable listening level. The beats are for people who like bass..thats it, only bass.

oh great how loud do they get on the ipod ? becuse when i triad the beats it was very loud

i listen to 2 clicks from max volume so it should be enough? they are not for outdoor use because they dont block sound AT ALL. . yea just something to think about

why did you set them on 70%? 
and the bass is beats better on it? , i heard the lcd2 are good on the bass

 

[Canadian411]

I have LCD2 and had beats (Pro and Studio) at the same time.
 
Since you are comparing beats to almighty LCD2, I bet you are not an audiophile, however you should definitely hear the difference in between LCD2 and beats straight from iPod/iPhone/iPad etc.
 
LCD2, trust me, you don't need an amp you can still hear and get a decent volume. 
Of course by adding an amp and dac will improve the quality.
 
So to answer your question (not sure if this is a joke) but LCD2 is definitely better, in it's a shame to compare these two headphones.
 

 

[fir3dp]

yup love them.. they do not have any emphasis on the bass if thats what you are looking for.. they are more detailed

 

[pigwave]

The LCD2 actually sounds quite good out of ipod in my opinion. (even better than some $300 headphone with proper amp)
The only reason I don't take out LCD2 to the street is due to the weight and the open back design.

Hang on a sec, OP are you gonna use these headphones at home only, or on the go? Because I think the LCD 2 is open, which makes them terrible for portable listening.

mods please block this user. He is trolling and has a attitude problem. He thinks its cool to insult people. Also i tried my AKG K518 DJ vs Beats studio, the AKG's were far better, more controlled bass, forward mids and still good highs, not shrill.

Please watch this user, and block if you think neccessary.
