Sonic Defender
Headphoneus Supremus
I'm trying to decide if I should keep these headphones and get the shure se846 or buy the audeze LCD-2 and get the shures at a later date. Such a challenging decision!
I really enjoyed the few times I was able to listen to an LCD 2. I'm not sure for me if I would stay as happy with the sound, but it is initially a very nice sound signature. Like the HD 650 has going for it, but even more so I think, the LCD 2 is lush and euphoric. I didn't have enough time with them to say whether or not the level of detail they provide would float my boat or not, but based on the impressions I have read that is where the LCD 2 is somewhat polarizing with some thinking them just the right balance while others seem to feel they give up a little too much detail in order to be forgiving and warmer. Ideally you get to try them first. Based on my limited experience the LCD 2 does not put the 400i to shame at all, but that is ultimately highly subjective.
