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.

    I loved their punch and slam but the loose grip made them too uncomfortable for me. That and the fact that everything above the bass was like covered by a dark fog.

    I don’t exclude buying them again for the times I’m in the mood for something like that but the Arya stealth are on a whole new level on every other aspect besides punch.
