HEADPHONE SHOOTOUT - Audeze LCDX vs HEDDPhone vs FOCAL Clear Pro

[@Streaky_com]

Would love to know your thoughts on these 3...do you agree with my summary?

[@adamkok3728]

Thank you for making this video. I was one of them that requested for this comparison. I've personally tried the LCD-X and I agree that they are a little warmer in the low mids. Hope to have a go with the other 2 headphones soon so that i can make a decision on my future purchase for mixing.

[@taks359]

Hey Streaky, what do you think about EQ and crossfeed for headphone ? I don't think you mentionned that before. Like i'm curious if you think it's necessary for those 3 headphones.

[@Streaky_com]

Takeo S you don’t need on hedd but the Audeze sounds great with sonarworks not tried the focals but they sound a touch flatter than the Audeze...

now, dont you think also Headphone Amp should benefit a particular headphone depending on the headphone amp???

[@rasmusfaber]

Hi guys. I've carefully tested Focal Clear Professional vs Sennheiser HD800S vs HifiMan Arya, which where the 3 last contenders in a test consisting of 20 pairs. HifiMan Arya: They sound very similar to Audeze LCD-4, i.e. better than LCD-X, but at the same price as LCD-X (whereas the LCD-4 is much more expensive). But they have the same sound, which is that planar sound where the clarity and punch goes all the way to the bottom (where on normal headphones they get progressively more "big" but also a big "slower" as you go further down the frequency range). They are amazing headphones and they are the ones I ended up with. Also, they're light and comfy compared to Audeze. HD800S: Amazing, very wide stereo field. They're not at all like the old HD800 or the HD820, which are both quite terrible sounding. They are the most hifi sounding of the bunch, but its a subtle difference. Focal Clear Pro: Also amazing headphones. If someone were to buy a pair without being able to test them, I'd recommend these. They're the "can't go wrong with these"-heaphones. Slightly bigger bottom, but in a very subtle and nice way. I tested these 3 pairs intensely for several hours. I would have been happy with any of them, but in the end I felt the Arya's had a vibe that was a nice compliment to my speaker setup in my studio (being planar I guess), and offering both a very pleasurable experience as well as a LOT of detail. Very little masking, etc.

[@zeissiez]

Thanks for the write up

[@rasmusfaber]

@@timlukas1 Assuming we're talking about the same Focals: Clear Professional? I dont think they're more accurate across the board, but I can see how they'd be well suited to pick up overcompression with their huge soundstage. Personally though, I would say that the Clear Pro's are possibly a bit more allround in their accuracy. The HD800s soundstage is so huge it could be argued that isn't really accuracy per se, but the opposite. But hey, like I said, I would have been super happy with HD800s or Focal Pro's, but settled for HifiMan Arya, because they offered me some things my speakers don't have. All 3 are absolutely fantastic headphones. Btw, Focal Clear (not Pro) is a completely different story, nowhere near as good or accurate.

Hi mate, I'm familiar with your work and glad to see you posting on this channel! What were your thoughts on the LCD-X 2021 Edition (Creator Edition, I believe it's called). They revamped most of the issues Streaky mentioned back in November of 2020 with their new generation model, so I wonder if this review would change as a result.

[@RyuMasterEX]

How do you find the LCD4 to sound in comparison to the heddphone, since I find it to sound a lot better than the Lcd-x

[@erbndub]

manish maharjan heddphone is super clear. The tops are beautiful. Less lows than LCD4 but I think the lows are over hyped a little with Audeze. I produce and dj for a living and the clarity and transient response of the Heddphones is game changing. It’s really speeding up my workflow. Producing and mixing on heddphones is ace! Audeze are great headphones don’t get me wrong, but for me they are starting to sound a little dated.

Sound is flat, totally agree with you Streaky, but with more body (probably because of its weight), true to the instruments, wow, its quite an experience, just need to hear it for yourself.

[@menachemelkayam153]

Listening to this vid with my hedds 😁😁

[@vm6038]

Here in Canada, the HEDDPhone retails for 2500 CAD. Focal Clear Pro and Audeze LCD-X are roughly similarly priced at around 1700 CAD new. On the used market here, the Clear is by far the cheapest. I've recently seen a pair sold for 800 CAD in good condition and they often go for right around 1k CAD. Cheapest LCD-X used is usually around 1200 CAD from what I've seen. The HEDDPhone is barely ever sold used and when it is, people usually ask north of 2k CAD for one. So clearly, here in Canada at least, the Focal Clear is the best deal of the 3 if you are willing to buy used, while the HEDDPhone costs at least 700-800 CAD more than the other 2 used and new, so there's no way it is worth it here unless it is definitely a step above the Clear and LCD-X in sound quality.

[@vm6038]

@@timlukas1 Maybe if you mod or EQ the 1990, then it can sound pretty accurate. Otherwise it has too much treble. Focal Clear isn't perfectly accurate, but it's more neutral than a stock DT1990. Perfectly accurate headphones hardly exist anyway. I can think of only one actually - the Sonoma One electrostatic system for $5k. Most deviate quite far from the near flat response of a good monitor speaker in a well treated room. Hopefully that will change in the future when more headphones will have DSP correction to flatten their response.

I own the LCD-X phones. When I mix with them, I use Sonarworks SoundID for correction of the upper mids. The X's are a bit scooped out in the high mids, which gives them a smooth sound, but at the cost of accuracy when mixing. I would like to try the Hedd and Focal.

[@rickyhunt8194]

Streaky, any chance you can review the new Focal Clear MG professionals against the HEDD phones please?🙏🙏 legend, cheers 🍻

[@EstaticX9]

Yeah, Heddphone on Nr. 1👍 Very nice Review and comparison. And as an owner of the Heddphone, the Clear and an Lcd-2 I share your ranking with one little difference. I'd see the Clear on Nr. 2. Ok, an Lcd-2 is no Lcd-X, which might be an explanation for that as the lowering in the mids might be a less for the Lcd-X, so the tonality of the Lcd-X might be a little bit better for my taste than the Lcd-X. Resolution and transparence of the Hedd tops the Audeze and Focal easily.

[@fizywig]

I am torn between the HEDD and the Clear. I am anxious that the HEDD weight and lower build quality in the long term will disappoint me. But looking for audiophile hope for my BArtok headphone amp.

I think you need a different category for looks 'on head'. The HEDDs look ridiculous haha so massive. Clear Pros win, LCDX second. I'd love to hear all of these (especially the Focal/Audeze) and one of these is in my future for sure... Audeze have EQ presets for the LCD-X and seem like they'd be amazing for neutral studio use, mixing etc. The 2021 version is a bit lighter weight also.

The replies are here listed as a year ago (2021), so I'm a bit confused since the video was done in 2020.. Anyway, I really enjoyed this presentation, very well done! However, the reason I'm talking about dates is because the Audeze LCD X had a new version released in november of 2020 that is know as the 2021 version. Most reviews have said that the 2021 version was by far the best version of the X that has ever been released. Which version was used in this review? Thanks again for this great review!

I had the Hedds and I got rid of them for he Focal Clear pros. The Hedds are bulky and not near as comfortable to wear over a long period. I find for mixing the Focals are awesome . But you must break them in first to get the best sound out of them. They are worth every penny to me.

[@spencermartin8993]

+1 for your thoughts on the Sennheiser HD800S -- I'm a little butthurt that they weren't included in the shootout! After thoroughly comparing them to the Focal Clear, I went with the HD800S for the neutrality/clarity, soundstage, and especially the weight/comfort of actually wearing them. They're a little tilted towards the highs, which is good for surgical use, but after modifying them to match the Harman Target curve, they're all-around perfect for immersive listening in my opinion. Haven't heard the other two models though! EDIT: Your review of the HD800S was absolutely glowing, so I'm just curious to see where they'd fall in comparison to these models using a similar rating system!

@@soulfulfool I am the same I owned the Clear MG and sent it back because they are terrible in build quality. I have the LCDX 2021 now only owned for 24hrs and already I prefer the sound. I don't know why everyone pushes EQ with these. With the Mojo 2 Dac and crossfeed with a -2DB on 125hz base as crossfeed makes it boomy they capture the emotion in everything you listen to. I also think the soundstage is wider than the clear my too. The mojo 2 isn't a warm dac though so maybe it's a good pairing so doesn't need EQ.

The stereoimage can be compared with Phonitor 2 with matrix activated. The LCD X exist in 2 rev´s. The older (before ~2018) sound much more brilliant and lively. The newer rev is darker and more "boring". They are too bassheavy for making good mixing decisions because they mask the picture. Here excelse the Focals!
