LCD-4

Owned both the LCD-3 and LCD-4 and kept the LCD-4, recommending jumping on a used pair.

Six years into the hobby, settled on the LCD-4 as one of their three endgame headphones for its bass, resolution and slam, trading off some timbre.

Inherited an LCD-4 that sounds superior to their Grado 325e, but after three years the right channel died and the repair quote is $1,200.

After a few hours with the LCD-4, finds its bass and sub-bass otherworldly and holographic, unlike any dynamic headphone they have heard.

After five years with the LCD-4, it still blows them away every time, with oratory1990's EQ and a small bass boost.

Finds the LCD-4 the most lifelike, natural headphone they have heard, though it needs far more power than their LCD-X.

Owns the LCD-4 and previously the HD 800; finds both tonally flat, with the LCD-4 having vastly superior bass extension and slightly thicker mids.

Finds the LCD-4 very good and worth the money, and Audeze's customer support awesome.

Owns a 2019 LCD-4 and, with a better source chain, finds it the most visceral open-back they have heard, with big mids and better bass than the LCD-3.

The LCD-4 stays in heavy rotation months later for its dark yet detailed sound, though the weight reminds them after a few hours.

The LCD-4 is their endgame headphone and they adore it, though it's very heavy.

Owns the LCD-4 (and has owned the LCD-3 and LCD-4z): no alternative matches its package of exceptional bass, great detail and smooth treble.

Has owned two LCD-4 units and demoed three others, and all five measured quite differently.

Loved the LCD-4's sound but couldn't get comfortable: it flopped around and its weight made them nervous, so they listened leaning back in one spot.
