Nailed this one in this review. While I like it, it's by no means perfect and kind of a niche product. The timbre cannot match the 650, but treble detail is amazing. It's everything else like the build quality, grainier upper mids, small stage width, and lesser bass dynamics than the LCD2 that strongly puts it in this price category. I actually guessed $299 also before I was told the price. But considering ease of being driven, it's impressive for what it is.

In this case metal571 mentioned "timbre", if you compare any of the sennheisers to the original hd580/600, no hd650, lcd4, hifiman he-6 or even the oldschool akg k240df/k260 high end phones could surpass it. Maybe the have better bass, treble extension or soundstage, but the resolution in the upper mids stays best in the hd600 driver. Its kind of harmonics/resolution thing I guess.

@@redrich2000 not really. People just didn't pay attention to the end where I said I'm not sure it's going to beat the 650 because of timbre. It's still a good option in the price range if you don't have an amp or if you need it to be travelable. I also hadn't heard Sundara yet at that point because it was underwhelming at shows

As a mix engineer my reason for choosing headphones is to hear issues with mixes and sound balance, these do a good job in regards to this and for the time I've been using these, my mixes translate well. For a headphone for listening pleasure, I would look elsewhere personally. Great review.

I tried yesterday this lcd-1 against a Sundara using my Xiaomi Mi8 smarphone and the Audeze sounds better to me. I know it isn't fair to judge them without proper amp but it was clear to my ears: the Sundara is the colder and thin sounding of the two, and less midrange detail than lcd-1. I also compared two weeks ago this lcd-1 to a Focal Elear, AKG K712pro and Sennheiser HD660S using a Chord Mojo out of my smartphone and to me the best ones were the ldc-1 and the Elear. I couldn't choose a winner between them. Maybe the Elear but it didn't convice me fully. The factor of 16 ohm impedance on the lcd-1makes it easily driven by smartphones. I recently bought Sundara H400S and I returned, I didn't like it (using dac/amp). The Sundara sounds a bit better (out of my phone) but the LCD-1 is more enveloped sounding. I see Joshua finds more midrange detail in the Sundara but I found it more present on the lcd-1. Detail-wise I couldn't tell, since I needed more amp. But it didn't convince me, Sundara's profile is thinner. I also noticed a bit of bass bloom with the lcd-1 (out of phone), but I remembered bass also sounded more present or saturate prone than Focal Elear out of Mojo. Sundara bass was deep and clear but more isolated than lcd-1. I see lcd-1 as a terrific headphone.

Pretty damn good review and I totally agree with you 100%. I totally see your preference for vocals being a main criteria for your reviews (not that it's a bad thing by any means, vocals are important!!!). It's like anybody that has ever heard a Sennheiser HD600 or 650/660 is forever tainted and can't tolerate the mids of most other cans, unless they have a preference of instruments > vocals. Please please please don't get me wrong, I have HD650s and they are indeed delightful with vocals, almost unbeatable with the proper gear. But maybe it's just me, but in a 4 piece rock band, I care more about what the 3 instruments are doing versus the vocals. If I'm listening to r&b, folk music or crooners liks Dean Martin, then yes, the vocals should be front and center. I understand it is a preference thing, but some of these other mid forward cans really lack in the clarity and musicality in the upper bass, lower mids and mid treble (Grado 1 to 2K, Beyer Treble, Meze Bass). It's why I tend to use a Rush song when testing headphones. If Geddy Lee's vocals overshadow his own bass playing, Neil Peart's percussion or Alex Lifeson's guitar, I can't listen further. Preferences once again, and perception. 😉

@hazi5961
@hazi5961 4 жыл бұрын
@@HansProbs That is a tough call, I've been on that quest a while. As much as I love the HD650, it gets shouty at times and has sub-bass roll off. As far as separation and vocal and instrumental clarity being equal, that can be hard to do in a headphone. A lot of planars sound good up to 1000 khz, but they reach the "ortho wall" and the treble becomes hard to control. I have a pair of LCD-2C but they are shouty at 1 khz and they have treble roll off. The Sundaras are the opposite with bass roll off at 60 hz. This reason is why I have a few pairs of headphones, depending on what I'm listening to. ZMF Atticus for fun, LCD-2C for vocals and HD650 for acoustic strings. I'm about to pick up a pair of Neumann NDH 20 and if they are more versatile than my LCD-2C, then I will keep them and sell the LCD-2C...

Agreed. And I hate what vocals-forward headphones do to classical music - or rather, what the violas and cellos do to my eardrums. Jordi Savall’s “La Folia” is my own favorite test track for this, and also has fantastic sound staging and air. Greatly appreciate how Josh clearly describes his preferences though - always an exquisitely fair and applicable review.

Of course, those are not quiet environments but it let me listen to music and also interact with the world on the sidewalk and in the lab. Ill wait to see if these are cheaper next year though.

Hi, thanks for such a clear and insightful review. it's so difficult to make a purchasing decision on something so subjective as audio quality/enjoyment. I have some ageing Sennheiser HD340s which have developed an intermittent fault. I appreciate their ability to deliver a rich and non fatiguing and open airy/presentation. Like others, I hanker after "more" and was strongly tempted by these but you seem to be saying that they are weakest in the very areas that I value. I'm worried about the Beyer 1990s due to the brightness and high impedance. I do have a good hifi but would be mostly using headphones driven by a MacBook Pro M1 without an off board amp. I'm now leaning more towards the Sennheiser 660s which I can pick up used or open box in the UK for 300GBP. Do you think the MacBook will power them adequately or would I get a better experience (in my application) with a lower impedance planar?

For anyone interested: the fuzziness that you can hear in the vocals is probably caused by the frequency response of this particular headphone. I used EQs from other youtubers (metal571, Chrono from The Headphone Show), but the fuzziness was still present. To be completely honest I use LCD-1 directly from my phone (OnePlus 6 without any dac/amp, so nothing special) and I use USB Audio Player PRO with the additional plug-in Morphit. I use the plug-in to make my LCD-1 sound like "Generic Studio target curve" with additional boost in the bass region (analog bell 30 Hz +2.0 dB 1.00, low shelf 100 Hz +3.0 dB 1.00). I also decrease some sharpness in the treble region (analog bell 10 kHz -2.0 dB 3.00). I also subtracted 1dB in 3.5 kHz region to make the vocals be more smooth (analog bell 3.5 kHz -1.0 dB 1.4). Output level is -8.0 dB. Using Morphit (even without additional EQ) makes the vocals MUCH more transparent. It's now much better headphone (especially with the additionall EQ). More bass (and punch to some extent), more details, more transparency in the vocals, even bigger soundstage. Maybe it's not that smooth as it was out of the box, but definitely worth checking it out. Hope this helped some LCD-1 users.

@@thetiger3223 I don't think that the sound of LCD-1 is accurate. The treble has a very good timbre (but I would reduce it by about 3 db). On the other hand, bass is too light to my taste. But the biggest problem is the midrange - fuzzy and not accurate at all. However, it all can be fixed with EQ pretty easily. I don't use it anymore, because the headband was not comfortable for my head.

You forgot to mention that these are cold and metallic sounding headphones. The bass is thin and the soundstage is absolutely claustrophobic. @metal571 says the 650 has better timbre. No, it's not just the timbre where the 650 bests the LCD-1. The 650 is a better overall headphone. If you like sharp, aggressive treble, which Oluv described as being like razors, then OK the LCD-1 has better treble.

The 990s would most likely be a more extreme sound signature than what you are used to with the pxc550. The 990 has great base extension with good quantity, a more recessed mid range, and a pretty bright treble region which you may find uncomfortable depending on your preferences. Something like the hd 650 or from Sennheiser is great for classical and has a very smooth sound overall and will sound good with all genres. Its definitely a great starting point for anyone getting into audio. And if you want drop . com has the hd 6xx for $200 right now which is their special partner version of the 650.

metal571 yeah, true, and I’d say the LCD-1 are a little narrower in soundstage than even the 6xx series, but sounding “open” at least to my ears isn’t precisely the same as having a large soundstage, it’s about the lack of weird cup reverberations - an “open” sound to me has a more natural sound to my ears. My Grado SR-325i are very, very open sounding but I wouldn’t say they have a large soundstage at all.

Awesome review, these headphones are really interesting! By the way I miss the music reviews, are you planning to bring them back, even if only occasionally? You should do an episode about Floating Points - Crush!

Steve Guttenberg compared it to the 6XX and said there is no competition as LCD1s are way better than 6XX. Now, this is very confusing as you call 6XX as the master of mid-range and vocals, plus you pointed these are lacking even when compared to 58X. I don't know if you both are listening to the same headphone or is there a quality consistency issue here?!!

Other than mids, vocals everything is better on lcd1 than on 6xx! And this means that steve doesnt care about mids being forward or not!

LCD 1 about the same price as the Sundara? 399 to 349. That is 50 dollars is 12.5% difference. I would say that is a pretty big difference and you go for a second hand it's 50%. Not really fair but still something worth to mention. Ooo 1 think a bit hifiman fanboi.. sorry! I do like your content!

Too expensive here in good old germany (450€) I bought the Elears for 540€ and wanted to compare them with the LCD-1. But after that Review that would be unnecessary i guess.

Audeze LCD 1 Me pregunto a mi mismo: ¿qué es lo que nos vende esta marca por cerca de 400 euros? Primero que nada saquémoslos de su zona de confort a esta marca. Están hechos y diseñados en China, solo sus oficinas contables se encuentran en los Estados Unidos. No es que uno pretenda hablar mal de la manufactura oriental (que es de vanguardia) pero las normas ahí son de las más dudosas en todo el mundo, ya que no están sujetas a tantos requisitos como en otras partes del mundo. El empaque con el cual viene resulta extremadamente grande para lo que trae adentro. Uno ya empieza a dudar de que es lo que pagamos por los 400 euros. Las pruebas se hicieron en tres diferentes player y con archivos de música FLAC, de alta calidad, sin usar ninguna ecualización, solo el sonido tal como viene. Sonido mucho muy plano, por no decir que los graves se escuchan, pero sin ninguna profundidad. Tienen una buena respuesta en las frecuencias medias pero conforme uno escucha las altas, es cuando viene la desilusión; son algo “metálicas” por no decir chillonas. El sistema que es orto fónico (plano). Pero son con diseño abierto, es decir que los que te rodean también escuchan. Si hay ruido en el exterior, también lo alcanzas a escuchar. El diseño de sus capuchones es casi idéntico al de la marca KEF SPACE ONE y que colaboro en este la compañía PORCHE DESING. Pero en los Audeze LC1, todo es plástico. El cable con el que vienes en de hilo trenzado con una longitud de 2 mts. El cual está bien si los quieres escuchar en un equipo de mesa. Pero algo incongruente es que su impedancia está pensada para ser usada en móviles o player de MP3 (16 ohm, con 98 Db de sensibilidad) por lo que se puede afirmar que tienen un buen nivel de volumen. Pero si uno los compara con otro que también es de tecnología plana como el afamado OPPO PM3; Audeze se queda mucho muy por debajo. Así que uno acaba preguntándose; ¿que es lo que me está vendiendo AUDEZE?

Beyerdynamic (all) is not for everybody. If you have long ears they can be very annoying. Now I don't mean elf ears either. IF you have small rounded ears then yes they are fantastic, but if you have normal shaped med to large ears you might not like them. I have other headphones that touch my ears, but there is something about Beyer that after 3 days I had to return them. Yes they sound fantastic, but only if they fit

How can a open back headphone be portable!? And is there someone that would go out with 400$ thing on his/her head! In my opinion we use these type of headphones( I mean open backs) at home only and due to their wide soundstage that the landscape of audio is rather big and pleasant. I think that dt 1990 and especially Sundara are better deals.

I feel like your disclaimer is redundant. Of course they're not paying you, that's never the risk. The risk is, and i'm in no way accusing you of this, that youtube reviewers feel pressure to give positive reviews to ensure the continued flow of items for review so they can build their channel. There's no disclaimer that will prove that you don't do that. The only way viewers can judge that is if you are critical where it's waranted (as you seem to be here). So the reviews speak for themselves without any need for a disclaimer.
