How do you know if you have the newer/larger headband for the LCD-5? Mine measures 10 1/4 inches following the headband from one end to the other.

Thank you very much for the link.

I have had these for a few days and wow am I enjoying the clarity and resolution!

Now I need to figure out if I want to keep my VC or not. The smoothness of the VC takes a bit to get used to when going directly from the LCD-5

Speaking of that... Is there a travel-friendlier case out there people use? For road trips it doesn't have to withstand that much.

This track was the first time I felt the bass in my body with headphones.



I mean that completely seriously.
There were parts in my neck that vibrated with the bass...

Ok, but how does it sound compared to something like the OOR?

go to the audio science site where you will be told measurements say it is the best HP amp available and better than amps 20 times more expensive
