I’ve wanted a set of LCD-X for a number of years now and finally saved up enough to get my hands on a pair.

They’re my first serious headphone so I don’t really have a point of reference to other offerings on the market, but they’re just as enjoyable to listen to as my Neumann KH120 which is saying something.

They feel beautiful in the hands, and despite my concerns over weight, they’re incredibly comfortable to wear. The distribution of the weight works wonders.

I’ve paired them up with a SubPac for tactile bass, and it’s mind-blowing how enveloping the sound is when they’re both dialled in.

I still have mixed feelings on the Oratory preset, but the more I listen, the more my ears adjust.

      The weight is over exaggerated. While they are hefty, they are very comfortable. You’re more likely to be uncomfortable from the clamping force of many other cans out there. If you’re considering them, just realize you can’t jog with them and you’ll be fine.

      You’ll get used to the weight. I upgraded to my X’s years ago when my Sundara’s broke, and you could definitely feel the weight after a few hours. After a week or two, you won’t notice it at all if you use them as daily drivers, and they’re honestly incredibly comfortable with a few mods.

        That is very assuring to hear. What mods would you suggest? Im bald if that matters regarding the headband area and not that big of a melon.
