Headphones for Electronic music (Mainly UK Hardcore, Freeform, Gabba) ~ Less than 200
Aug 12, 2012 at 2:41 PM Post #16 of 26
I didn't like LP2 personally for the price I paid, I thought it was more like $75 (but maybe $130 with optimal EQ settings) worth of sound but perhaps it's because I like lower volume listening and LPs are meant for louder listening due to very recessed highs. For me I had a problem with the recessed highs (needed +3.5dB boost at 8kHz and like 5.5dB at 16kHz to appear evenly with the mids) but then I also noticed an annoying resonance/shouty upper-mid prob around 3.5kHz region and the bass wasn't textured & controlled enough for my liking. M50 are definitely better sounding pair of headphones but it also doesn't have anywhere close to the bass quantity of LP2.

Ugh i am so new to all of this stuff.. All this technical stuff about highs, mids, and lows.. :/ Since I will be getting my first pair, I wouldn't know what any of the technical things you guys talk about. I know impedance and ohms, I just don't know what you guys mean by soundstage and what not.. Is there a guide somewhere to learn all of this? Because I want to know sound. I don't want to be the guy who doesn't even know what he is talking about :p

I am hearing that if you burn them in for a bit that sounds balance out. Is this true? I also hear that the crossfades leak? Do they? and if so, how badly?

I had burned in them for the suggested +20 hrs and didn't hear enough improvements. The Crossfades leak a bit, nothing too major but I never did any exact investigations on this personally as it's not a concern for me personally.

Sorry for another question, but do they creak? People when giving reviews are complaining that a few hours in, the screws or something start to creak when you move your head.. ?

Haven't been using them enough to be able to give an accurate answer on that.
