LCD-S20 Closed-Back

The noise isolation is exactly what I needed for a busy office—outside chatter just disappears once I put them on. Even at higher volumes, the bass keeps that tight, clean punch instead of turning into mud, which caught me off guard in the best way.

Bass response on these is seriously addictive - the punch stays tight even when I push the volume on tracks with heavy sub-bass, and the isolation is enough to drown out my noisy office entirely.

The closed-back design really locks in the sound, so I can crank the volume without leaking noise into the room around me. The bass stays tight and clean even when I push the highs, which is a pleasant surprise for a planar.
