I just ordered 97, their entire supply, so no one else can have one till end of November. I will be selling them for $5000 on the sales forum. Look for my ad.

LCD-X will comes with which version of leather pads? LCD2 or 3?

Why is the closed headphone more expensive?

Aren't open designs usually better?

It looks like the LCD-2 black pads.

Ah, makes sense

Hi Sweden : I agree; very good points aka LCD3; better treble, better soundstage needed and less bulky phones (big driver  is fine). My HE6 (much cheaper, poorer connectors) is preferable to my LCD3 here to my ears (jazz, classical), though LCD3 does sound very natural and in-ear sound presence cp airiness of HE6 which I like... Interested in a closed LCD XC so waiting to see how reviews go.

  Okay, everyone stop puching jibzilla in the face!

 

   
LCD-2 pads stink?  As in smell bad?  Huh.
 
The LCD-3 is a "balanced headphone".  What is that exactly?  Please explain.

 

  I dont know if this post was sarcasm, but... I thought that's exactly what an XLR cable it does.  Furthermore the LCDX still terminates into 4 pin mini XLR...

 

  I'm the most misinformed person on head-fi. 

 

  It's $5 to re-terminate the cable.
 
The LCD-3 and LCD-X both use mini XLRs so stop goin' on about how the X is not balanced.
The LCD-X does not come with a 4-pin XLR cable. That's the difference.

 

Yeah, think I'll keep quiet too.

  Lcd-2 pads stink, since when are the balanced cables $5, and the lcd-3 is a balanced headphone which these look like they won't be. You know a balanced cable does not make the headphone itself balanced, that's not cheap. Your kidding right?

  If you have something to say then please say it.

Pretty much every headphone out there is inherently balanced. It's simply a matter of whether or not you tie the two channel's grounds together or not. That's a decision that is cheap.

Hi Guys,
 
This is my first post and as a Audeze dealer in the UK this is the first I have heard about the LCD-X and XC, as a LCD-3 user I can't wait to get a chance to hear these, any idea on release? be interesting to see where the prices will sit in the UK.
 
Think I need to send a quick mail over to the Audeze Distributor over here to see what he knows

 

[Dubstep Girl]

Now i wanna buy one, might sell the he-500 for it...

  Didn't mean to say that. I was in a rush for work and what I meant to say is that the lcd-3 driver greatly benefits from being run balanced compared to other high-end headphones, it looks like the x's may not. The 2's didn't benefit that much either imo.

 
Yeah... no, just stop.
 
You should probably say "LCD2 pads don't work for me" instead of just saying they suck if it's the case.

  has to be a typo...it happens

They replied to typo in under 2h and amended the page quickly - my esteem for Audeze increases, even though I might never own one...
