I bought the Audeze LCD-2 Classic not long after it’s release date and I was never entirely happy with its sound signature. Bass was a bit too dominant and the overall sound was slightly muddy and veiled. A recent pad change to the new “open foam” LCD pads led to a huge improvement in sound, with improved imaging, more precise and less boomy bass whilst keeping the sweet treble associated with Audeze LCD headphones. These new earpads are a highly recommended upgrade for the Audeze LCD-2 Classic headphones.
