Audeze LCD-X

Thanks! I'll be running it with the O2+ODAC for the time being until I can afford better amp.

In the mean time, I'll just keep annoying my family by listening to my JBL LSR305s

Thought up a new question. I plan to baby these headphones. Like, they'll either be on my head or on the stand, 100% of the time.

That got me thinking. Wouldn't it start to collect dust?

Do you all have any suggestions on any sort of cloth or cover I can put on it that will look GOOD and prevent dust? I was thinking a nice high quality black satin sheet to cover the stand and headphone. What
Do y'all think?

I got the following wooden storage box from a 2nd hand shop (or maybe it was an auction, can not remember exactly as it was years ago).
 
$2 was the cost.
 
In the base of the box I placed several pieces of cloth (cotton), about 2 inch thick , effectively making a pillow for them.
 
Prevents dust when I'm not wearing them, also humidity changes (not that I have a real problem with either).
 
I also cut out a small inlet on the left side of the box, so I can close the box without crimping the headphone cable.

Oh wow, that looks really cool! Very unique. I'll have to get creative and create some sort of upright coffin than in cases both the x and stand. Who knows..

What about a solid glass dome? Condensation would worry me..

I keep mine in a drawer or on the stand, covered with a dish towel.  Well, kind of a nice dish towel...

I use a McDonald's paper bag. It is very light and easy to put it on/off, works great. Just ask them for a new one so it doesn't smell like a Big Mac.

Something about using a McDonalds bag seems so wrong. Five Guys or Shake Shack, maybe.....

10/10.
 
Best post today.

I love ya work.

I have a Krispy Kreme bag here next to me..  That'll probably work even better

 

[Travis9]

Looks like my Xs come in tomorrow! I'll be stuck listening without an amp until a day or two after because the seller decided to ship the headphones quick as hell. Lol

That is stunning.

You'll get some sweet sounds from that.
Seriously though, I just store mine in the travel case.  Inconvenient-having to unhook the cable-but safe.

Honestly that is a great amp and dac for the x. I have that as well as a highfi m8 and notice little to no difference between the two until I start playing with the treble and bass settings on the m8. The odac combo is a nice neutral presentation with low distortion and plenty of power for the x.

ARRRRRRGGGH!!!
 
Apparently while I was in the shower, the mail came and gone and didn't deliver my package because nobody was at the door! So I'm left with this note saying "Sorry we missed you!"
 
I have never screamed so loud..
