hey guys how you doing audio head here today we have something we don't usually do but we have a big product that just came in to the lab I want to give you guys a sneak peek or first look whatever you'd like to call it of the new a disease LCD XC that's the LCD line closed back headphone I haven't finished run taking it through all the critical listening and I'm also giving a little bit of burn into so the full review isn't ready quite yet but I did think this is a very big prominent product that just kind of came out into the field so I wanted to give you guys something to look at to check out I'll do an unboxing here to kind of show you what comes with it and hopefully you guys enjoy it and stay tuned for the full review which will be coming shortly as soon as I run through the paces so the plastic shell case you see here is the travel case that comes with the LCD X C it's I really like it I have enjoyed it and it's really you know pretty rugged its snapshot it's a really nice touch I think too for such a nice headphone it really complements it well holds it well it's a it's a great little add-on I think that comes from the company and according to the website this does come with the headphone if you purchase it the retail price of the headphone is around 1800 that's $1,800 so it is one of the more expensive clothes back headphones on the market but they do a couple of nice finishing touches here that come along with it so the case opens up and inside you can see they have a couple of additional things this particular product does come with a pair of balanced cable for pin as well as your traditional single-ended that is very very nice you can buy cable upgrades later but the the like the mini XLR component fits right into the end of the headphone and the other side for pin balanced comes in free comes with it which is awesome because the cables can run through lots of money so if you really want to get going with a balanced set up you are ready to go with this also included here is some wood care oil and a little cloth for your for wiping it down with this this little pack keep it loaded seem like lunch it means a lot I think it really speaks well to the market itself and also the guys within this hobby knowing that they need a balance or they might want to go balance including that in there I think it's a very nice touch inside here we have the headphone itself here looks pretty beautiful it also has this little foam thing to keep the ear pads from getting crushed together let's try that guy so that stays in there and for long-term storage I do like to keep them in there you can also put them on a stand to really get that do if you really want kind of an aesthetic look for them they're very very nice in that regard I mean you can see from the cup here aesthetically they did take some time to really make them look good shine so as you can see that phone itself is very similar to the LCD line the 2 and the 3 with the main difference this time being it's a sealed back design the wood cup here covers the entire thing and helps keep noise out the jacks you plug it in are the mini XLR type very nice the headphone itself is actually a little bit heavier than the LCD three that I have on hand I believe that one reigns in around five hundred and forty eight grams whereas this one the LCD XC actually comes in at 650 grams so it's slightly heavier than the other headphone but as far as the build and the construct it feels very similar to that I really like the headband that you can see here that the Rings are have actually been swapped out from wood to a more of a metal here on the side of these rings I've switched out so the metal cup itself is wood but the rings have been swapped out for metal so there is that change I'm assuming to help kind of even keep it lighter it is kind of a heavy headphone but this you know if you're in the market for this type of a thing you're probably not gonna run around with it too much on your head it is more of a design for a home listening kind of endeavor however the impedance has been lower down to 22 ohms on this so it's actually quite easy it's even easier to drive I wouldn't say that the LCD 3 was hard to drive headphone although it did benefit from an amplifier these headphones actually are getting down to the point where you can drive them from almost any device even an eye device so 22 homes even even easier to drive them before so guys that's just a sneak peek at the LCD X C by all disease I hope you guys enjoyed it more to come on this front for sure but I just wanted to throw it out there let you guys know is coming and I hope you enjoyed it
