Tbf, You have to be some kind of special if you can't hear the difference between them.

You are certainly paying extra for their brand recognition, build quality, and house sound. I find them too warm for my liking though and went with Tr-amp instead. Serbian company, great build quality, and sound as good as Mojo, although not as unique looking and sounding.

Not all Headphones respond well to EQ. I'm not touching them with a 10 foot pole that's for sure (except for Audeze)

The only thing I use EQ on is my Audeze, and that is not always either. For everything else I prefer the original sound.

The magnetic force will create a gentle pressure to your IEM, it's like giving them a massage.

Everything else is snake oil and placebo, obviously.

Shame their cheaper stuff has very contrasting quality compared to their full size LCDs it seems.

Second hand lcd 2c is probably the only way for cheap true and tested planar

Lmao this is spot on

Diy? Maybe. Fakes? Never.

Their Andromeda and solaris are great, Ara is very technical for the price, the rest are very niche though.

I honestly wouldn't touch a website with an interface like that with a 10 foot pole.

Usually burn in already happens when manufacturer do their qc test, but they do need to warm up first before being used. I usually leave the tubes warming up for 10 minutes before using them.

I mean, is there anyone that doesn't know this at this point?

Could be, just like how some of those Topping stuff destroyed some headphones. I would go to someone who has measurements gear to test it if I were you

There's a headphone logo so, yeah.

Thanks for the review. Say if someone is looking for a fun and beater iem to take outside for commuting, would you recommend these or the OG one?

Considering those items are worth like 600 dollars, yeah...they would probably keep it if they know anything about audio.

Idk about headphones but there's definitely a difference between cables when I listen to sensitive IEMs like Andromeda. Sound change by cables aren't inherenly improvement imo, more like slightly different seasoning.

IEMs and headphones have different presentations, so it's more about your preference (I personally prefer IEM even when at desk), although being an open back edition xs will surely have better soundstage and likely better detail too. BTR 5 will run them just fine, heck I even used cheap DC03 to run old inefficient Audeze LCDs. Not sure if headphones respond to cable though.

I play bf1 with LCD2 occasionally, I find dark open back headphones much better for gaming immersion compared to one with brighter sound signature.

Shit

You mean others are allowed to spend so much money on stupid things while Im struggling to buy a decent gear? Absurd!
