LCD-4

After three years with these I still catch myself just staring at the machining on the aluminum rings. The planar bass hits with a weight that no dynamic driver I've tried can match, yet the treble stays silky smooth.

The bass hits with a physical weight I've never felt from any other headphone, and the planar drivers keep every detail crisp even in dense tracks. Setup was easy with my existing amp, though I do wish the cable were a bit longer for my desk layout. It's pricey, but the soundstage alone justifies it

Every bass note lands with such physical weight it feels less like listening and more like feeling the music in my chest. The planar drivers handle complex orchestral passages without ever blurring together, which is exactly what I hoped for after all those years of R&D.
