Is the LCD-5 better in every aspect (except maybe price-value ratio) than LCD-X for EDM ,electro ,instrumental etc?

I would put them against the MM-500, which is the headphone I’d recommend in that comparison. The LCD-5 is an entirely different beast. While I would recommend a mastering engineer look at the 5s, the LCD-X and MM-500 are both great mixing headphones that happen to also work as casual listening/personal audio headphones.

I love the LCD-X and it has been a workhorse for me. But the MM-500 addresses most of the issues I had with that set and see it as more of a natural upgrade to the X.
