LCDi3 Open-Back In-Ear Headphones

These things are so detailed and clear I keep hearing tiny textures in songs I've listened to for years. The open-back design lets me hear my own footsteps when I'm walking around the house, which is weird, but it makes the soundstage feel incredibly real.

The low impedance makes these ridiculously easy to drive straight from my phone, and the clarity on the top end is something I didn't expect from in-ears. I've been hearing tiny details in songs I've played for years, which honestly never gets old.

The tuning really shines with acoustic tracks—guitar strings have this tactile bite I've never heard from an in-ear before. They're open-back, so you get that airy soundstage, but they do leak sound, so keep that in mind if you're not home alone.
