Now this is not something you see everyday!

So...how do they sound???

Not too bad to be honest. I was a bit concerned at first. How loud before drivers start breaking up? When distortion starts kicking in? Can drivers not really designed for CB handle it? You know, basic concerns.

To answer your Q. At low listening levels..... say 65-70+ dB it sounds very nice. Impressive bass, good speed and imaging. Soundstage suffered a bit. Which isn’t great since LCDX aren’t strongest in that department.
Pushing it above 75dB creates some issues tho. There’s not enough space/dampening to control drivers the way I would like. Piano sounds compressed. Clarity suffers. It gets busy and less coherent. But there’s potential with different shape/tuning IMO.

Overall, it seems like it didn't go too bad at all. Likely not surprising that, at volume, the drivers lost control on this, but it sounds like there's more than enough tweaking and tuning potential.

As a CB design, did it provide any isolation from outside noise, as well as outside isolation from the headphone sound production?

@OctavianH , I think that you recommended me one song (Sleepwalkers) of this album "Draconian - Under A Godless Veil" and I think I said you that I didn't like the grunts - I have listened today to the same track and I still don't like the presentation of the grunts on that song-

Today, I listened to another song of this album and absolutely love it. Was the first song: "Sorrow of Sophia". I will give another try to the album, that song brought me to the best times of bands like "Theatre of Tragedy" with a bit of doom



Right now, I'm listening to "My dying bride - Evinta". Sometimes, I put this album that captures all MDB best songs in a melodic way

It´s curious. Yesterday I downloaded the Draconian album and listened to it with the Denon AH-D9200s (almost all my metal albums sound very good with them) and it sounded hazy, with no detail in vocals (I love the detail in the vocals with the 9200s in most of my albums).

Now, I'm listening with the Senn HD 800s and, althought I miss a little the bass punch, sounds exceptional (except the grunts in Sleepwalkers, but with these cans remain at background )

A lovely album, thanks again @OctavianH.

I am glad you like it. That album is quite good and one of the best in 2020. Now, in the same area, I listen at the moment (exactly now) to Marianas Rest - Fata Morgana.



There is so much music, we just need 200 years to just sit and listen.

Love the music and the video, so strange

Wife was happy so headphones didn’t leak too much noise I guess.....
Can’t say the same about noise from outsides, leaking in. It’s OK but not great.
I’ll certainly explore CB conversion option with LCDX. Swapping “cap”process needs to be more convenient tho.

These pads are just NUTS. IN a good way.

 

[Relaxasaurus]

Wow, like an echo chamber in there

 

[shofilm]

Used Abyss Diana V2!

Yeah. It’s freakn weird in a good way. There’s nothing between driver and ear drum. Soundstage became sort of 3D. Detail, realism increased from stock. Which is crazy.

Abyss are on my radar. But maybe when they come out with closed back version.

I'm listening to Arne Domnérus today and you post this Three songs to end the album (What kind of fool am I) and time to drastically change genre

Edit 1: Ok, I watched both videos. I love the first, it remember me something that Youtube recommended me after watched the "Hellblade II" trailer in the announcement of Xbox series X. The second video is unclassificable for me but love to find new things.

Thanks for sharing.

Edit 2: I found the band I was referring:

Just some random music that catch my interest. Sound that I'm not very familiar with but I kind of like it. Listening to classic music on mega pads right now. I think we found hybrid baby of Verite Open and HD800s.lol

I know those guys as well. Nordic tribal influences. So is this:
