The emotion and words you used to describe these is the most accurate representation of what they actually are out of every review I’ve watched or read before and after I got mine, and they are not picky with what I’ve used to power them, it’s gonna take a hard day in hell for me to sell mine off. Being deadly serious, I have never had music sang to me better in my life. *oh and I swapped my pads for Dekoni velours, and they got rid of the whole hyperbaric chamber sealing effect while keeping the sound quality, and upping the comfort imo. I got mine used so it wasn’t hard to justify 🤣

how did you find them mate? considering pulling the trigger.

[@matthew40]

Joshua, this was exactly what I was looking for, to describe these headphones. I have owned them about 6 months now, and the way you describe the mid-range and vocals of this headphone is exactly what I was looking for to say, but couldn't find the words. They are such an enjoyable set of headphones, and if you enjoyed these, I hope on day you can give a listen to the ZMF Eikon. I heard at can jam this year and bought it less than 2 months later. I just think if you enjoyed the LCD2C's, that might be right up your alley. Just wanted to say I love you reviews, came over from Z Reviews, and i have just really enjoyed your approach to the review game.

They work super well with vinyl. The pops and clicks are very subtle compared to my speakers.

I like that you're putting in more b roll, in a lot of previous videos it's a lot of talking head but not much of the product. Mixing in the talking head with either the product in your hands or the b roll makes for a more engaging experience. Nice job.

[@Frank-Ding]

I loved the review and I like the elaboration on the sound of the headphone. One more thing though... I really really don't mean to be rude, I just wanted to point out that you used the word incredible/incredibly very often and it sorta stood out to me.

[@StraightEdgeAlexxx31]

i just got these things a bit earlier than my amp to power them, so i have been running them on my darkvoice with a NOS sylvania brown base tube while waiting for my balanced jotunheim... i have a ZMF aeolus on my current setup and i wanted to chase a different sound by going solid state with the LCD2C and i have to say im impressed. i keep hearing OTL tube amps dont pair well with planars but this sounds pretty awesome. its more aggressive than the ZMF no doubt, but it sounds HUGE. cant wait for the jotunheim to show up, but for now i definitely dont regret picking them up..

[@kesm66]

Wow! Just got a pair today. These are the business! They live up to the hype. I don’t find the build to be heavy-chief complaint (like the days of the old Audeze). The weight is a good thing....in this case...these are durable with an industrial look yet comfy on the head.

josh i just have to say i watched this review before owning LCD-2C's and now after and I 100% agree with your conclusions. The only bad thing I noticed was the imaging was a bit funky, sometimes things are hard left or right when on other headphones they're not so one sided. However, acoustic music and electronic seem to be some of my favorite with this set. God damn they are pleasant. Always have my HD650's for more of a balanced nature or when I'm producing music.

[@Catkat2907]

Okay.

[@sloppynachos4868]

Man this is was a really good review! Seems honest and upfront. I would like to see in your next reviews how some of these high end headphones like the LCD-2C and LCD-X compare to some other planar like the Fostex TRP-50 for games. Keep up the good work!!

[@liyuki2553]

I'd love to see more Audeze comparisons. I have the LCD-4, the LCD-X, and me M1060. I'd say the LCD-4 is as much of a jump from the LCD-X as the jump between the LCD-X and M1060. LCD-X are terrific headphones, but the LCD-4 have better soundstage than my personal pair of LCD-Xs (it was originally reported that the LCD-X had a big soundstage but in the most recent revision to this headphone i have heard the sound very narrow with better imaging and that is in line with my current LCD-X) and just does everything better. Would be interested in your LCD-3 to LCD-X comparison though to see if a LCD-3 may be worth it in the future. Lastly, I wouldn't push on the headphones while they are closed. Most Audeze headphones seal when the earpads are touching meaning when you press them together you are putting a vacuum like pressure on the LCD's ultra thin diaphragms. This is the most common cause of driver failure in the LCDs that I know of.

Sorry - Coming friday now!

[@althewicked]

Hey Joshua, thanks for this Review! I just can not decide between the 1990 Pro and LCD-2C. I have tried the 1990 pro and I like it very much but like you said its a very analytical headphone and its not very relaxed to listening but in the other hand I need a Headphone for checking my mixes without loosing too much details. I have seen that you also made a review about the Amiron. How would you describe the differences between the LCD-2C and the Amiron? Could it be that the Amiron is between the dt1990 and LCD-2C ...that means a good compromise between analytical and easy listening?

[@alexandrosbagkas]

Love your reviews. Would you recommend these, if I love the warm sound of the HD650 and want something 'identical but more" at the same time?

[@brianoh8192]

What an amazing review video.

[@TechnoGuy11]

I like to describe the LCD-2C as being a wonderfully vivid headphone. Compared to my Focal Elear they are much smoother with the same amount of detail. I actually chose the 2C over the regular LCD-2 because I liked the warmer tone and the bass has more depth to them as well. The Fazor does make the regular LCD-2 more resolving but that's it. As far as how they compare to the M1060 it's not even close imo, the LCD-2C is much better in both SQ and build quality. If your looking for a headphone in the under $1000 price range that's warm and smooth with a fantastic bass response the 2C should be on your short list.

[@RaiseYourFamily]

Hey Joshua!Thanks for the nice review!Do you use any eq with this headphone?

[@1_homme_a_la_mer]

thanks for your vids ! i am looking for a nomad amplifier for my lcd 2 but i dont know which one to buy... Would you recommand the fiio Q3 with those headphones ? thanks !

[@bardrich2570]

LOVE AUDEZE LCD2C..TQ BRO..

[@therealharleybutler]

I had my Hifiman XS come in with a buzzing left driver so I've been looking around for an alternative to Hifiman. I don't think I'm alone when I think that I shouldn't have to worry about quality control issues when spending $500 on a headphone. so that's naturally led me to the LCD-2C. I'm still thinking about my other options, but this one's definitely high on my list

[@Yxzjvc]

Wow I finally found someone with the same problem! I returned my XS for repair and got a completely new one. Guess what, the new one has the same problem. They told me to not use it with heavy bass. But I really love the planar bass precision :(

[@FraxXx89]

Amazing review!!!! I know a lcd 2C, 3 and X comparison video is coming and I can’t wait...but which one did you prefer among those? Which one would you recommend more?

[@shadouxg7150]

The X

[@io_metre]

I have LCD2C, Arya, Clear, L300, some others and I guess that today's price of LCD2C is a bit exaggerated. My other remark is that LCD2C is very dependent on the DAC it's connected to. It may sound so low end with a good DAC that you really have to search the right set up for these headphones to get them at their best. Thanks for your review Josh 👍

[@soulfulfool]

D70 + THX 887 👍 they always impress me how strong and well controlled sound can be. Got upgraded cable that also helps

[@B2Rockin]

Hi Josh, here’s a good question for you - if your option were to have the DT1990 pro and the LCD2C or just the LCD-X, which would you choose? I appreciate analytical and hearing all of the nuances of music, and love good sound staging at times, but also like to turn up the volume for enjoyment for some good punch, and vocals. I guess the real question is, do you think the LCD-X can serve as an all in one and cover all the bases that the DT1990 and the LCD2C can cover better than having both individually? Conversely, for the use case of listening to music for enjoyment, do you think the LCD-X is more enjoyable to listen to than the LCD2C as you’ve described in this video? Really appreciate your opinion on choice of those two options and feedback!

[@VvendigO.]

First of all, I absolutely love your reviews. Secondly, I'm completely sold by the way you described these headphones and I wanna buy them, but I wonder, for the sole purpose of enjoying music, are they worth buying if I already have the 660s, what do you think?

[@memberrrberry7282]

I bought these headphones from the Audeze holiday sale, in my opinion this is his best review he's ever put out, spot on with the explanations. Before hearing the Lcd 2c I always thought nothing could ever sound better than my HD 650's, I was wrong these headphones absolutely blow me away. Having a good amp is almost essential in my opinion.

[@poopbusiness4924]

what amp would you suggest to be paired with these?

[@memberrrberry7282]

@@poopbusiness4924 I have the jds labs El amp and still sounds so sweet and juicy

[@soulfulfool]

@@poopbusiness4924 it deserve amp with balanced connection to dac, XLR headphone cable also is a must to gain maximum power & control, with my setup they only miss larger sound stage with more air but thats the price of perfect bass and I'm fine with that, my Grado headphones are those who deliver air and spacious sound with clarity like no other

[@soulfulfool]

@Tweed Penguin its not a myth that balanced connection push more power to drivers, with that power driver has faster and more accurate response

[@paytoningram6100]

And 2nd question, would you recommend these over the L300's or visa-versa?

[@Muggles3130]

You describe these the way others describe the 650/6xx. How would you differentiate the two? Are these, to you, the planar version of the 650s?

[@erikvasquez801]

Currently have some HiFiman Sundara's and been thinking of upgrading to some new cans and I've been eyeing these, I game a lot and the Sundaras have been great for that and for listening to music but I'm wondering what other cans you guys would recommend that may be a better choice than the LCD 2c's just want something that will make listening to music that much better while keeping the soundstage wide/great to be able to hear footsetps, etc.

[@Appels101]

Have you tested the vanilla LCD2 vs these and LCD X? Thoughts?

[@PaperPlane7719]

[@vangledosh]

Would an atom dac/amp combo work for these? I understand that they have enough power to run them, but would a pair of headphones of this quality seriously benefit from a major amp/dac upgrade?

[@Thevikingcam]

I did found out something nuts on these, i got big beard and i use cap on my head alot. :D Now when i shaved my beard and took of the cap the sound got just bad, narrower soundstage and the bass lost its power. When i lift them just a bit to open up the seal of the pads create inside the cans the sound gets bigger and better and the bass is back, in a big way. These are totally new headphones when the seal is broken and the air gets in the driver from inside. I think this might be why some people enjoys these alot and some just hates them. Can someone test this and confirm this? Don't lift them over the grills but under or side of the pads to create airflow inside the cups.

For me Audeze LCD-2C is the best of the Audezes,but the strange thing is that Audeze LCD-1 is the most analog sounding headphone that i ever had heard,is like listen to vinyl all the time on a Audio-GD - NFB 11.28 TCXO amp.

[@firaaeroman]

How are these for rock/metal? Generally really fast music? Something that wont make the double bass sound too flabby and blend into a wall of noise, rather keep up with them and keep it's accuracy. Also metal isn't very well mixed/produced a lot of the time, is this headphone unforgiving to more poorly produced music? Overall I love going for a more warmer sound, as any cans with slight high top end is a cheese greater when listening to metal, though you said the high end is a little chipped off which is promising. Don't get me wrong, I love all types of music. Especially when I grab new headphones I love to listen to very well produced music and just marvel at the performance, but at the end of the day i'm listening to metal 80% of the time. Thanks.

[@laika25]

What is your preferred music source? CDs? So your "workflow" I'm assuming is: CD player to integrated amp to headphones? I think it's important you (test) guys mention this. I mean, your own personal recipe to listen to music (so we can jump in the copycat wagon). None of what you (clearly and professionally) explain (thank you very much) makes any sense if us viewers/listeners are not coming from similar (audio/music) sources as yours. Other than that, thanks, great thorough review. Peace.

[@kbeau937]

I own both, Elex will give you a better more accurate soundstage and is a more focused pin point sound. Its kinda like the Elex takes a step back from the music and you're able to pick out little details in the music from the 3rd row back... the LCD2C is like youre in the front row and its walls of sound. Both are great to own.

@@kbeau937 I know this is an old comment but, if you had no choice and could only choose one, which one would it be?.

[@kbeau937]

@@WyattOShea oof... the elex. BUT I loved the size of the sound image on the 2c. Enough where I bought the lcd2f

[@JoshuaValour]

James Stevens I would look at 1990 for the best overall.

[@Jordonater]

Do these have more detail than Nighthawk?

[@wichiewichie]

How would this compare to the Focal Elex?

[@user-fk3jp7by8n]

Is there any chance these headphones will work well with a powerful portable player? I have AK Kann and the balance with 7 Vrms, but in theory it should work fine with them, but I have no way to check before buying.

[@mccabedylan]

I ran mine of a btr5 balanced, and it sounded great.
