Hello everyone,

I recently sold my headphones and I’m currently undecided on what to get next. I’m considering the Audeze LCD-2C, Meze 105 AER, or Meze 109 Pro. I already own the Aeon X Closed, so I’m now looking for a comfortable pair of open-back headphones with a good soundstage.

My primary uses are gaming and music listening — with a focus on old-school rap, jazz, and a mix of other genres. I tend to prefer headphones that are on the darker, warmer side rather than bright or analytical.

Comfort is very important to me, as I have some neck issues and can’t handle anything too heavy or clampy.

My current setup includes the iFi ZEN DAC V2, ZEN CAN V3, and Chord Mojo 2 (which I mostly use as a DAC due to its signature).

Unfortunately, I don’t have the chance to demo these headphones locally, so I’d really appreciate your thoughts, especially if you’ve tried these models.

I’m also open to other suggestions that might suit my sound preferences and comfort needs.

Thanks in advance and have a great day!
