My LCD-XC (2019 Burbinga) are my reference headphones. I run them balanced, without EQ. I like acoustic bass and jazz trios, as well as some pop (Billie Eilish .Hey guys, I am considering a TOTL closed-back, and am zeroing in on LCD-XC, but have a couple of questions:
1. I have HD800s which I like, would LCD XC or D9200 be a better pair for it?
2. I always EQ my headphones. Is it safe to say, that with EQ LCD-XC would be on par with DCA Stealth?
I am sensitive to harsh treble so no horns or whailing saxophones for me.
I deal with the weight by leaning back in my recliner chair.
Note, I am in my 70’s, but have decent hearing for my age. I produce earwax, so I have my ears cleaned out about every three months (and especially before I audition any new equipment).
Because everyone’s ears are different, it is useful to look at the measurements to see if they match the weaknesses we may have in our hearing. Anyone voicing an opinion on these threads, it would be useful if you let us know how old you are, and what hearing deficiencies you may have.
