Has anybody compared HD800s with HD800 in a detailed manner? Could you please give me the link if they have done it already?
Also, I disagree that the LCD-X midrange is lacking. I find the X to be quite a reference sound (Audeze-style). Listen again.

I am not sure a darkened version of the HD800 would appeal to me, since I already have the LCD-X to rock out and get the full Audeze bass. From reading your posts, the bass of the HD800S still doesn't match the LCD-X.

FYI, the HD800S are listed at US$1700 by the major retailers. I believe that price includes a balanced cable. Same price as the LCD-X.
Rock on, y'all.

Do you happen to have the fr graph of your LCD-X handy? Unfortunately I've seen a good amount of variation from pair to pair, and while I will concede that "neutral" varies from person, I find my pair to sound the way it reads: a 15dB drop from 1.5 to 3.5kHz (which is of course a million times better than a 15db boost, given that out ears are more sensitive in this region...)
I realize a perfectly flat response wouldn't actually sound good either, I would just prefer less of a cut, which requires some EQ compensation for me.
Can you post your graph, for comparison? Thanks.
At that 'supreme levels' it shakes a bit,right?
I did hear some shaking going on tonight, listening to the Alabama Shakes album "Sound and Color" track Future People. But, that may be the way the music is engineered.![]()
Haha...Were you playing it at high volume?
Yea, probably louder than I listen to the HD800...just kinda goes with the LCD-X and the music, ya know!!
Dude,have you heard about WyWires red cable for LCDx? There is a thread on it;they say it does wonders for LCDx.
