After eight months, finds the LCD-5 exceptional for clarity and resolution once the pads broke in, but unforgiving of poor recordings.

Upgraded from the LCD-X to the LCD-5 in their mastering studio; imaging, low-end clarity and detail are unparalleled and it feels feather-light by comparison.
A headband yoke screw fell out of their LCD-5 and the other was loose, though they rate the materials and craftsmanship exceptional otherwise.
Did not find the LCD-5 heavy before selling it, but the shallow pads let their ears touch the drivers.
Owns the LCD-5 and HE6se and finds both punchy and forward with an engaging sound, without needing to EQ down the midrange.
Bought the LCD-5 at launch but liked their LCD-X more stock; only with parametric EQ did the LCD-5 separate itself, and they would steer friends to the LCD-X.
Bought the LCD-5 at an Audeze event discount; can follow the most delicate parts of an ensemble and is making new discoveries in their library.
Within five minutes of unboxing their LCD-5, the glued cable connector came out when unplugging the cable.
