Headphoneus Supremus
Hey Matt and Joe, lovely LCD-3s you have there. Both looks super nice with the new style suspension headbands.
Glad I took your advice and got the headband.

Very nice Matt, how do you like the headband.
I ran across a good deal the other day on a Norne Draug 3 cable, so I jumped at the chance.
The LCD-3 is a superb headphone

Joe, I love the headband. The weight distribution is good now. However being new, the clamp is tight. So I'll use it till it's more relax. The advantage of new pads and band is a tighter and more snappy tone. Love it.
That's a nice looking cable, no doubt it will enhanced the LCD-3 even more.
Agree that the LCD-3 is a superb headphone. The bass is more pronounced than that of the LCD-4 and the mids are lusher.
I don’t know why these don’t get more love. They’re fantastic headphones. It’s like there’s two Audeze camps. The LCD 3 camp, and all the other LCD models. These are more detailed and have a wider soundstage than the 2 or 2 Classic, and they have better mids and treble than the 4. And they’re easier to drive than the 4.
I agree the LCD 3 are really great headphones. I compliment them with the XC's. Recently I've been listening more with the 3s though.I don’t know why these don’t get more love.

I see you have the Meze Empyrean....how do the mids compare ?
I own a pf LCD -3 and it took me awhile to find one that I was happy buying.
I was one of the few who was disappointed with the Empyrean. First of all because my first pair arrived with the right driver dead on arrival. My second pair worked perfectly and Meze shipped them very fast, so kudos to them for excellent customer service.
I had two problems with the Empyrean. First, I just didn’t like the bass as much as others seemed to. I don’t think anyone does bass as well as Audeze. The Empyrean has good bass quantity, but it was a little loose and boomy.
The second reason was that I kept hearing something harsh in the upper mid range. The treble quantity and quality was pretty damn good. But my ears were bothered by the upper mids, somewhere around 3K or 4K. So for the cost, I just couldn’t justify keeping them.
I much prefer the HEKse, Final D8000, and LCD 3 to the Empyrean...and although many will disagree with me, I’m just being honest.
