Wow they finally got some professional photographs up.

Mine were from the newest batch released last week and mine came with the brown headband and ear pads.

I've seen some LCD-3's with black around, so I assume they have - correct me if I am wrong

 
 

If you're just talking about this picture, it could easily be the photograph making the leather look black.  I've seen that kind of thing happen with the same lighting

Just ask anyone who has tried buying Stax Omega II headband arcs. Hard to tell whether you're getting the older brown or newer black arcs, depending on the distributor...

I've seen other pictures, but yes - the brown is very dark (at least on mine) and it could be hard to tell. If they're still going fo brown as standard, my guess is that Audez'e might have run out of brown and shipped some units in black, or they made some with black on special order...

Hey, have you guys seen the design update to the LCD-2s? http://www.head-fi.org/t/600884/audeze-lcd-2-design-update I honestly have to say I find the Bamboo more to my taste than my LCD-3s zebrawood though the zebrawood with the brown leather does still look a bit more "high-end"/ultrasone edition-10 esque

 

[ardilla]

Thanks - pasting in a photo

The frustration of my LCD 2 not having the angled connectors is starting to set in...

That looks pretty good, I especially like the little slats but I think the Rosewood looked more elegant overall.  Is it any lighter?  Anyone know?

I am honestly more interested in the upgraded LCD-2's, but the reason I didn't release my LCD-2 R1's is because of it being different.  Scared of the sound profile changing enough for me to not like the LCD-2's, someone convince me otherwise? The design changes look fabulous.

The say it should be lighter in the thread about it.

I couldn't agree more and that's why Moon Audio's Silver Dragon cables get my nods. Very solidly built in the inside too. 

 
I find the SD3 to look boring compared to the Q. That's just me, though...and I usually like plain black!

q cable is now my default cable for LCD3. Sound so nice overall and plus that featherweight, what can you ask for more!

I know, right? I was OK with just the LCD-3s having them, but now that the LCD-2 has them, I'm like

I agree 100%.

I still remember the R1 having more of a 'vibe' about it. Certainly not as clear sounding as the R2, but in the end I'd say it was more musical. Its recreation of drum sounds was second to nothing I've heard since.
 
Also the R2 has a mild upper mids emphasis that makes it less 'non-fatiguing' in comparison with the R1.
 
How's that?

Are the Rev 2's going to be a collector's item now, or what?

 

[ninjikiran]

maybe i'll just get both then sometime down the line.
