"Leather-free earpads"

What!? I swear it was advertised or assumed as leather all this time. The 1/4 to 3.5mm also seems to be removed as being included.

Interesting...I was hoping that they would come with leather, (as it said before) but if it comes with leather-free earpads I also wouldn't be too dissatisfied.

I guess we'll see when people start getting a hold of the LCD-2C's. - If they could get them out tomorrow I would have my pair Friday (overnight shipping) to confirm which earpads they sport..

Curious about the case as well, as I thought Audeze's site plainly said no travel case included.

Not even an adapater, geez. So the pads are not the same as the current LCD-2. I don’t care much if it’s real leather as long as they are comfortable but it sucks that they clarify these things after taking preorders. I knew it didn’t come with the travel case.

Does anyone know the size of the LCD2 pre-fazor soundstage? Also how did the LCD2 pre-fazor compare to the LCD2 w/ fazor in general and soundstage specifically?

You think they would have shipped the damn things by now. I ask when they said direct orders late this week and the rest next week.

They are protein earpads. No idea how that feels/sounds myself.

Protein? Is that something new? The one on the website looks like leather. Is that actually the protein?

 

[LaCuffia]

Protein leather - usually more durable and easier to care for...I guess it’s entirely new for their headphone line. No idea how it will feel or how it impacts sound. Probably a negligible difference with original pads.

Protein leather....leather free...I don't compute.

Will the protein be made from isolate or concentrate?

 

[blargman]

Protein Leather is synthetic leather made with a special type of resin as well as egg shell protein.

Wondering if anyone here has a comparison between this and Aeon Flow open. Thanks in advance

Found some information about protein leather (pleather) vs leather:

Are we putting too much energy into this topic?

 

[LaCuffia]

Nobody has them yet so can’t make comparisons but the Aeon open would be a direct competitor.

I was hoping that someone who's gone to the last canjam could shed some lights on this
