I’d be genuinely surprised if that would be an upgrade so much as a downgrade in almost all aspects except build and detachable cables (for L700 MK1).

Loving this song from iFi Zen DAC -> iFi Zen Can -> HiFIMAN Arya Stealth

I bought these back in November 2021 directly from Audeze during their annual B-stock sale. I have used them very little as they seem to fit my head less comfortably than LCD-2 and LCD-X -- so they have maintained their condition very well. Comes with the standard Audeze travel case, stock...

Hold my beer, and I'll DEFINITELY prove you wrong on that count. :grin: I, sir, am not even always successful changing ear pads. :sweat_smile: :beerchug: DMS is one of my favorite headphone personalities -- I've followed him since before his Abyss days much less his Headphones.com era --...

Don’t get me lyin’ now 😂 if I roll into straight answers for those, I run the risk of mangling the truth on the way from those words to my ears back to words. 😂 But, what I would say is full, not sure if in the songs I was listening to tonight had heft in the sub or mid bass - I want to say...

A comfortable snug to me -- ear pads are generously sized -- clamp keeps them from sliding around my head without squeezing too hard.

These are perfect headphones for relaxing in bed listening to music -- which is what I'm doing right now. :D Straight out of a MacBook Air M1 headphone jack -- so easy to drive, pleasant, non-fatiguing sound.

Apos Audio Caspian straight outta MacBook Air M1 headphone jack -- and it sounds delicious.

@TaronL FYI, tapping the last picture of the headphone being modeled does not bring up that picture but the comparison graph to MM-500 -- link might be wrong?

Oh MY, that is literally the ugliest headphone I've ever seen. :scream: But I'd still love if it sounds great! :beyersmile: EDIT: Why couldn't they at least have NOT made that part red? Just awful... :sweat_smile: EDIT 2: But they do look super-comfortable.

Awwww…. I liked these so much better than the X2 - those were too big for my small head, and these have a more delicate sound I like.

Super easy purchase for me, headphones were shipped promptly and arrived as pictured. 👌🏽

Beautiful close-up, thank you! Yes, that decision worked for them for sure -- I have some open-back Audio Technica's (R70x, A900X) that I think are also elegant looking, but no wood-cupped AT's yet, and these are just FABULOUS. What do you think of the sound so far?
