Hi
@FadedSynth,
Subjectively & personally, I agree with the previous posters, LCD X will depend on your own tastes in sound & extended demos are a must to make a good decision...kind of hard given the restrictions currently in place in Oz.
I also agree there are certainly other options out there certainly more budget friendly though personally, my preferences lean towards Closed despite two of my top three headphones I use for reference are Open & only one is still available to buy,
Acoustic Research AR 1.
See if there is one to demo at Jaben.
Otherwise, my reference Closed Back is the
Neumann NDH 20 so I suggest considering that if you ca find one to demo though given your location, that might be a bit difficult as the only retailer who has one I am aware of is Factory Sound.
While personally not a fan, the 1990 Pro mentioned is certainly a decent choice though as with all headphones mentioned so far, a better head amp is certainly recommended.
For a good affordable head amp, I suggest either
Presonus HP 4 or
SMSL SP 200 or both.
As a side note, not a fan of Schitt gear for various reasons, subjectively & personally, main one I find they don't synergise well with a lot of audio gear...
For a final note, mids detail is highly subjective & personal so as stated, I suggest considering another DAC, that might help to, any Focusrite Scarlett is a better affordable choice or Presonus. Or if still available, if StoreDJ still has them, get a Lexicon Alpha.
Regardless whatever you end up with, the important thing is to take your time during demos & use well recorded source material, regardless of format.
Hope you have a great day !
