Audeze LCD-3 Headphone Unboxing and Review

2012-07-30
hey guys how are you another review from audio head here we have the new Auto Z's LCD three flagship headphone these guys have really burst onto the scene recently with a LCD - and now the LCD 3 I'm going to give you an unboxing and a quick review at the end here so I can show you guys you know really what we got going on with this package it comes with this excellent um Travel this is the travel case version there's also a wooden box that is very svelte it has a nice wooden outside exterior with a silk interior more for presentations but this one if you're traveling is really the way to go the build quality is outstanding on this box it's got a little bit of weight to it you feel safe with your treasure inside so to speak so I turn this around open it up for you guys you can see here you can also lock it with a lock if you're so inclined open it up you can see there's a nice soft foam padding there some of the accessories is really where these headphones shines you can always get aftermarket cables you can see here from the removable cable which is a very nice touch solid connectors but it does come with both an unbalanced connection and also a balanced connection here that is a four pin stereo if you can see that clearly which is pretty darn nice if you don't want to throw it out an extra change you have your balance connection all ready to go considering some of the prices of the aftermarket cables you know that's a it's a pretty good thing to have included as you can see from the headphones here more padding in the case they come with a divider here so these ear pads don't get squished and transportation so it comes with a some oil for the pads and this cloth as well they are completely interchangeable very easily they just click in and out right here I can show you the most solid you can see here the lambskin cushions very nice in the full review on the website I go into more detail but I'll tell you these things are super duper nice on the ears very comfortable as far as just feel and overall I guess you could say firmness is great and this is wood here excellent build quality all around you can kind of see from here my hands that this is a driver itself is quite a bit bigger than some of the other ones but this is the planer magnetic technology that makes the headphone sound so sweet um clamping pressure inward this way is moderate but due to these and I think the overall shape it does feel like much less than that that I wouldn't say that the pressure coming in this way is all too unbearable by any means the other the other thing with these headphones is that the due to the size of these drivers and the technology of all the weight downward is a bit more than you're usually used to on a headphone so the overall weight is high but the clamping force is not so bad they have your typical well I guess not so typical in this case but adjustments this way all the clicks are good everything is very solid to the touch which is nice the other thing that these headphones come with is some literature here warranty documents literature this is kind of neat and unique to audas Auto Z the LCD III s they come with a unique graph to each headphone so they measure this specific headphone here and this is the frequency response curve for this headphone and you as you can see here This Is It this is excellent I mean normally you see this kind of drop-off for a lot of headphones and this is this base is just phenomenal so this is a this is really good measurement and you can see from some of the other resources online too that these headphones tend to be one of the best measuring out there and it is reflected in their son they're just amazingly clear coherent you can really tell um bit rates we really start to make them so they're not that they're not super forgiving in that regard like if you want to have pull the best from these you're really going to need to have a good source good amplifiers they will run right out of an iPod not extremely loud but they can they're not to the point where they're really really hard to drive I would say there's like moderate powers needed to drive them but as far as clarity in the top-end amazing very liquid mids which is really nice but where they really Sparkle is is the base the base on these is unlike anything I've ever heard clear extended very very low and just very pleasant and not a lot of all the reviews to this but I feel like it's a very natural sounding bass a lot of times bass can get really bloated big you just can some very unnatural DS it sounds like you're it's like a step closer to listening to speakers they're not it's not like exactly like listening Spears I don't think that's physically possible giving just the very nature of headphones but when it comes to like speaker to like presentation these keys are starting to get a little bit closer to that and and that is just an astounding leap I really gives you a great sensation of natural even sound across the field nothing is overextended nothing is over emphasized but base extension bass trouble through both ends of the spectrum going out are just amazing clarity is amazing um and by my measure and I've heard some of the top top systems out there these are one of the best if not the best headphones out there available right now which is pretty amazing say one of the downfalls is they do carry a similar price tag to being the best they run around I think 1949 I'm not $19 1945 $45 for this pair of headphones but oh my goodness if you got the money to spare it's definitely one of those things you need to check out because they're quite a unique thing so I've been saying for these guys have come out with some really great stuff in a really short time period so I can't see where they come out with next but as for right now this is one of the best because of any questions feel free to leave a comment in the comment sections visit the website WWE and we're on Facebook so talk to you guys later have a good one
