I hated them when I got them no eq for 1 week. I almost return them until I eq them and then fell in love with the music. I always wonder what’s the next big step up after these headphones.
How do you “eq” headphones?
There are few direct upgrades after the lcd-x. From my experience, there's the he1000se, lcd-5 or susvara. Everything else is more of a side grade but for me, I've just found a great pair to complement my lcd-x, the heddphones v1. They have super fast treble extended, even more detail than the lcd x but only average subbass extension. The lcd-x on the other hand are still very detailed, but have huge slamming sub bass for the wub wubs.
I had a bit of a rocky start with them too - although after some tweaking things are better than I’ve ever heard on a set of headphones.
I’m still dialling in my perfect eq, but I have no doubts that these headphones are keepers.
