I just got the Audeze LCD-X. I’ve been using Sennheiser HD-580 for years and was looking for something clearer and closer to hearing the real thing.
On the one hand, the LCD-X delivers what I wanted. It sounds much clearer and more detailed.
On the other hand, these headphones are only capable of moderate volumes with Axe FX. With patches balanced around 0dB on the preset leveler, I can only get to 1 or 2 o’clock without distortion, and it quickly starts falling apart if I push it past that. I can get a reasonable volume for long sessions and it sounds good, but if I want to rock a little bit, it can’t do that. It was hard to find reviews on this forum but I really should have listened to the one guy who mentioned this same problem. I’m planning on returning the headphones.
For any of our headphone or Audeze experts out there... is there a different model Audeze that could perform at higher volume? The LCD-X has a low impedance. Is the impedance the issue or is it simply how much volume the speakers can handle?
