what is up guys it's BT back here again with another review today we are gonna be taking a look at $1,000 headphones say that with me $1,000 are they worth it do we even need $1,000 headphones who can benefit from having them and what do they sound like I mean I think we all want to know what do $1,000 headphones sound so I will be the guinea pig for you guys today and I'm gonna be testing out some thousand dollar headphones are they worth it can they replace my hundred other headphones we shall see in this review so the headphones that I'm gonna be reviewing today are the LCD twos by Audis hopefully I didn't butcher their name it's a company they're based in California I'm down with that so a lot of the headphones that we see today are dynamic headphones whether it's beats Bose Sony they're all gonna be dynamic headphones for the most part I don't like to bore you guys with a bunch of tech specs and all that but I just want to give you guys a brief overview of what it is that differs from dynamic to planar and why the cost is so much higher so in dynamic headphones they have a coil with magnets that sends an electric current to produce the music in planar headphones they have magnets but more of them in a flat sheet so instead of a single little coil they have a flat sheet so there's more surface area for the sound to be conducted through tiny wire flat sheet so that is one of the main differences and because of that the sheet needs more magnets to power it so that's why these LCD tubes are a lot heavier than you would find in a dynamic headphone so now that we've gotten that little introduction out of the way let's get on with the comfort and design now at first like I mentioned the just a pure size and the heaviness of the LCD tubes it weighed heavily on head but I got used to it after about a day or two I'm used to the Sennheiser 598 and they're super light super plush and lightweight and I just move them around these on the other hand are like giant bricks on your head not quite as extreme but it feels like that when comparing them they have these nice leather cups which I love they were huge gigantic it makes you feel like official you know it makes you feel like you you just bought this thousand dollar pair of headphones because they're so huge and they're so plush it's like putting two pillows on top of your head the band I do wish they put a little bit more cushion on the top but the band hasn't really bothered me honestly it feels nice they have a couple of cushioned off sections up here which aren't so bad but a little bit more why not I never heard any button on both sides you have these adjusters which I really love they're metal they have these little ridges that keep them in place I've never encountered headphones like this before so that's definitely a change and I like it it feels very very premium now I picked up the aluminum one so they have this nice aluminum casing around the ear cups which I really like all I know the comfort is great on these I love them I love them a lot it takes some getting used to don't get me wrong but after you get used to them it's just another day putting them on one thing I will say is when you do put them on you can't really move it to the back because this part really like it really clamps down on your head so just be aware that if you are a person that likes to do that a lot like go like this no this is like you're either wearing them or you're not so now let's talk about the sound one of the most important parts of any headphone these did not disappoint I will just start off by saying that but I want to tell you guys in my experience now when I first put them on I noticed one thing I noticed that they didn't have as much soundstage as my dynamic headphones it has some soundstage but just not as wide there's a lot of separation there's a lot of clarity which I love but it's not as as let's say a even my 598 $100 headphones they're not as wide but with the sound quality increase you get with these I'm willing to take that cut now let's talk about everybody's favorite subject base now I'm not gonna tell you guys I'm not gonna stay here and tell you guys that these are gonna be rumbling off your head and that they're just gonna be thumping they're not they're open-back headphones so they're gonna be a little bit weak on the base but with that being said these are the best sounding base open-back headphones that I've ever tried it's very accurate I would say if you're a person that just enjoys clarity separation it's all there it just sounds great that's the best way to explain it it's very accurate it's very fast there's no Distortion one thing Planner headphones are known for is since they have that sheet and since it's so fast add conducting the sound it's not gonna get all that distortion when those highs get so high when the bass gets so low it's going to stay nice and tight and accurate and fast that's what I mean by that the vocals I feel like are the main star of these headphones and guys it just from j.cole to opera to Frank Sinatra listen to it all and these sounded great even the fray do you guys like the fray I love the fray where there's rap rock classical I was listening to Christmas music because it's that time of year and it handled everything great it's just very accurate that's the best way to describe it there's no extra fluff like the base of beads or anything like that it's not artificial like some of the Sony's can be it's just very nice and tight the highs are great these are the first headphones where I haven't experienced any kind of distortion at the high end it is insanely good overall if you're a bass head if you really really need that artificial bass if you need that bass boost you gotta look somewhere else but if you want something that's gonna sound accurate and something that's gonna be gonna sound like the music is supposed to sound damn that's exactly what it is it's gonna sound exactly at how it's supposed to sound so lastly I just want to quickly go over the accessories that came with just because I feel like it's a nice touch for that thousand dollar price tag so it comes with a very very nice cable which plugs into the underside of both ear cups and it plugs in and it allows for it not to be ripped out you have to press the buttons on either side for it to come out which is really nice I like that touch and also too it also comes with a nice case a nice hard shell case and you know me I love when companies help you protect your investment and these are definitely a big investment so you're gonna need to amplifier for to not distort so and to get the most volume the most clarity out of these headphones because something like an iPhone that while they still sound great you're gonna need something to power it to get it up to levels that you want whereas a dynamic headphone they're very easy to drive you can plug them straight into your iPhone and just be done with it so there's kind of one more thing in the way of you getting to your music but hey if you're a music lover you do what you got to do to get some good music right so are these worth a thousand dollars I'm gonna tell you guys and I'm not gonna tell you guys oh wait well it depends on who you are what you're gonna be using them for do I Brandon think these are worth a thousand dollars plain and simple yes I do if you have the money if you have the extra cash you know April's coming up tax returns are coming up and you just want some amazing sound and you have everything taken care of you have your responsibilities taken care of go out and treat yourself to a great listening experience and you know what these are gonna last you for a long time this is it that's all you have to do you won you won the headphone game just invest in a great pair of headphones for home listening you can watch it movies you can play games whatever you want to do with your headphones it's really up to you but I can't say that I am glad that I took the plunge it was long overdue for me so now I see what the hardcore audio files are talking about when they say you need a thousand dollar pair of headphones there's plenty of great sounding headphones I'd love the HD 5 9/8 those are a great entry-level open-back headphones that i really recommend there's just so many headphones out there you guys be the judge but that's my opinion on these and I hope you guys have enjoyed this review and have learned something today I know that I have I learned that I love Oddie's
