$300 Headphones VS $3000: What's The Difference!?

In this video, I wanted to talk about my experience working with the Audeze LCD-3, in comparison to my previous pair of headphones, the AKG K-702. This is not a review per se, but we will look at the frequency spectrums for both, some of the build characteristics and my overall appreciation of both pairs.
But more importantly: what should you expect from audiophile-grade headphones, and what's the main difference with mid-range headphones such as the K-702?
Enjoy and share the video!

Side note...there’s a contest now going on where someone can win LCD-1s. I’ll tag you in the post on IG

Awesome, I love the LCD1s and LCD2s. Not quite as warm, rich, and full as the 3s but hey: they’re Audezes.

[@dafingaz]

@@producewithjt yep. My ears haven’t had the pleasure of hearing audio through a pair of Audeze headphones yet.

The AKG is 139 euros now here in EU

[@producewithjt]

Get them! Still my favorite brand 🏆

[@drydessert4198]

new pads for the AKGs cost maybe 20 to 30 bucks or so.

[@producewithjt]

Good to know, thanks!!

[@drydessert4198]

​@@producewithjt There are also velour replacement pads for the Audeze, since you don't like the (fake) leather. 3rd party vendors produce ear pads for various brands/models with different outside and inside materials (fake leather, velour, ... , memory foam, gel, ...).

[@dafingaz]

Yep. Use what you got if they are acceptable. I used the apple earbuds for years. Still use them if that’s all I have. LOL.

[@producewithjt]

My iPhone earbuds are probably my toughest test when evaluating a new mix. They are the new NS 10s 😆👍🏻

[@dafingaz]

@@producewithjt I never thought of it like that! Plus, a lot of people are still listening on those (or other consumer earbuds).
