I used to own the LCD-X (now sold) and I do own the Auteur. Hope this helps....Hello, anyone here that owns both the LCD X and Auteur, could you please share your thoughts on how the 2 compare? Specifically the bass.
Thanks!
The LCD-X has a very impressive bass response. Its probably one of the best bass producing hp i have ever owned. Its punchy, dynamic, and often rumbly if and when needed. The huge 105mm drivers are very capable of producing even some of the lowest notes.
The Auteur, on the other hand, is very versatile hp. It can produce bass, but in a different way. While the LCD-X can get bass heavy on certain tracks, the Auteurs keep everything under control without letting the bass take over the sound. The auteur can sound bassy without letting the bass over power the mids and highs. Also, the bass of the auteur can be tightened and even increased with some pad swaps. From my memory, the Eikon perf lambs make the auteur sound really bassy by sacrificing soundstage and air. But it still sounds really good.
I would say this....if youre looking for bass, then the LCD-X is your choice. PLain and simple. If youre looking for anything else, the auteur wins hands down. Theres something about Audeze bass that is yet to be matched by any other company, IMHO. I sold my LCD-X because it was too heavy for my neck. I kept my Auteur because its so darn beautiful and sounds like a ZMF headphone, LOL.
PS. if bass is your thing, then i might also recommend a Sony Z1R. These arent as heavy (actually really comfortable) and will give you thumping bass. But then again, Audeze bass in the best bass, IMO. Let us know what you think.
