What price do you think Buysonic will be selling the Audeze LCD2's for? They say they are releasing the stock on midnight PST Sunday.

I remember them being between $700-800

I wrote an in-depth comparison between the two for another head-fier here (post 11):

The HE400 is fantastic and $199 is such a killer deal, to widen the soundstage you can do the grill mod or completely removing the grill as well.

this debate is making me not want to sell mine! :S

OK, decided to give them a shot.  If nothing else, I can A/B with the Beyers and ditch one or the other.  I already went down the rabbit hole with portables (now own the AKG K167, V-moda M-80, and Logitech UE6000), not going that route with my at-home setup...

I agree. This is a fantastic deal on a magnificent headphone. It's one of my very favorites. There are really only 2 areas where the 990 beats it: video games and aggressive genres. In every other way the HE400 beats it.

Although that site is listed as an authorized Senn retailer, it has a really low rating on ResellerRatings. I probably wouldn't buy from them myself.

Outstanding! They are really a great compliment to one another. If you want a more aggressive sound than stock, the FocusPad flattens out the recession in the upper mids, giving them some awesome bite!

It's funny that after successfully resisting the urge to join the K7XX Massdrop buy to give AKG a try, I ended up giving in and re-buying a headphone I got rid of quite a while ago. But at this price, I'm ok with it and not afraid to mod until the sound and comfort level are more to my liking.

Very tempting.  I already own the DT-990-- but am always up for trying something new.  For those of you who have heard, both, can you offer a quick comparison?  I love the comfort on the Beyers with the velour pads, and from the reviews it seems the HE-400 might not be quite as easy to wear for long periods?  Will my E17 drive them adequately?

 
I have the 990s and my son has the 400s. The 400s are harder to drive, but sound very detailed (he has a TubeMagic D1). I think the bass on the 990s is a bump more forceful. I find the 990s more comfortable. My son loves the 400s. Only way you will know is to get both!

I have both and love them both for all their glory and flaws

Will def keep that in mind.  Thanks for all the arm-twisting, my wife loves you guys...

Haha! I was not able to resist said Massdrop! But I think you chose wisely. I'm excited for the 7XX, but I'd be surprised if I end up liking it better than my HE400's. I just wanted a new "big soundstage" can for work.
