LCD-X Creator Edition New : Wonderful sound but quite colored, and they're heavy!

3 years ago

I got these both for listening to records and using them as reference headphones when mixing in my studio. They are excellent for ONE of these uses.

For listening to records I simply LOVE these headphones. Compared to most "reference" headphones in this price range they have a less analytical but warmer/fatter sound. They kinda make digital sound analog. They're a lot more fun and also give me less listening fatigue than some of the more analytical/neutral headphones out there.

As a reference for mixing I find their rather colored tone less useful and prefer more neutral/analytical sounding headphones like Focal ClearMG Pro or maybe even the much less expensive Sennheiser HD600.

Still, I don't regret buying them as they makes it so much more enjoyable listening to music than ANY of my other headphones. The only downside is the weight but the wonderful, warm yet detailed sound quality is worth it.
