really impressive review thanks! you have a great mind for noticing all the details and not getting bogged down in hyperfocus
I’ve had both and I agree!
Hi Matty. Has your opinion changed much over the 500's? Did you get used to the treble?
Bro NGL you should rock the beard scruff. Great vids.
Nicely done
Good comparison, been looking at an upgrade for my trusty HD-600 but I'm still evaluating the mid tier market as well, a lot of engineers swear about the HiFiMan Sundara, it's "updated" heir HiFiMan Edition XS and the new Audeze MM-100, would love more headphone takeaways from your perspective.
Thanks for your work!
Yah! I'm interested in the MM-100's as well. Could be good for travel.
did you end up settling on anything? I've also got the 600s atm and am looking at similar "upgrades" to you..
really? people does mixing with Sundara?
That was a very helpful video, Matty thanks a lot! The problem is I can unfortunetely only afford to LCD-X, so do you think EQ'ing them close to MM500 also would work ?? I'm mostly mixing & mastering two very different genres,; electronic music and metal...
Thanks in advance!
Yes, absolutely. The LCDx are great!
I think both are great and just people think the MM500 are better for mixing because are a "Mixer Signature Headphone" and that give them reassurance, but as any headphone here we don't have the acoustic playing into the equation and really does not matter so much the curve of your headphone as long the quality and clarity that they reproduce is great and you KNOW how they sound and how to make them translate.... some people even go re-calibrating their headphones to a Harman Curve, thing I found unnecessary as you also need to know how to make them translate as with ANY other curve.
what‘s ur point
don't let the marketing fool you, focus on the factz@@honeybadgerdavid663
I have a high and low shelf boost on my LCD-X which brings them closer to my kii three... the mannies are definitely too mid-forward to me, id be making mixes waaaay too smiley otherwise.
i havent tested lcdx but i didnt see this video i bought mm500 . i wish i seen it. but am i happy with mm500? yes i def am. and i use correction forthat high end. i use realphones.
What do you think of the Focal clear mg pro vs mm 500 ?
4 months late but I coincidentally tested out the MM-500 vs the Focal Clears today. There's no X's on display in Denver anywhere unfortunately. Anyways it was close, but I definitely leaned towards the MM's hands down. I just wish I can side by side the MM-500's vs the X's
@@NorthernForm I glad you leaned toward the mm500 due to its x2 price point.
@@tommymai3062 Focal Clear MG’s are 1500 new?
I'm just now trying to decide whether I should get the LCD-X or the MM-500. This video was very helpful. Thank you.
I want both if possible!
We think you should check out the HEDDPhone Two as well :)
very revealing video you just made
Which amp would you recommend for audeze lcd x to use with apollo twin x sound card?
They don’t need a whole lot of power. I’m sure the apollo is enough.
@mixedbymatty thanks for reply, but it's not about the power, recently I saw a video of a producer saying that most sound cards including apollo doesn't have very good mic Preamps in them as their speaker output Preamps, so i started searching about this topic and find out that many mixing engineers buying separate headphone amp to get more detailed sound and wider sound stage plus crossfeed function
For my lcd-x I've bought 2 weeks ago Burson playmate 2, ealier it was ifi zen dac. The difference isn't huge but I feel that all limitations gone. The sound is more liquid, softer and at the same time more powerful with reacher timbre. I hear more air between instruments. It's great combo. I use upgrated version with V6 vivid oppamps.
@tomaszbrodzic8381 Burson soloist gt used by manny maroquin, I ordered spl phonitor 2, they specifically for studio work
I would like to see Neumann NDH 30 in this competition.
Treble roll off on the 30's. Dark and lack detail. Otherwise, almost perfect.
I understand the MM500's were specifically designed for studio use, but I still swear by the LCD-Xs, they are all around better headphones.
Best audio related gear I bought in the last 5 years.
So can you use them for production? IU can tweaks kick drums and such?
@@partlysimpson5154 Of course.
@@partlysimpson5154 Absolutely you can.
@@partlysimpson5154 hey. i use mm500 for production. yes and anyone i know they use their lcdx or manny's for production. great results if you use them in the production as well as mixing infact people will think you already mixed it.
Audeze service is horrible.
My Lcd-1 has problem and they don't repair it because this model is "discontinued" they said
Audeze basically told you to go buy a different brand with this response. It's a terrible business model.
you can get lcsdx used for half the price of mm 500.... that turns it a better buy right away i think... in terms of enjoying ii think lcdx is clear winner of the 2. most audiophile reviewers prefer lcdx they say, they say the only downside fir mixing on lcdx can be slightly more overpowering low end compared to mm 500... actually i had some time with mm500 now, lcdx can be eqed to sound better for mixig and as a value second hand bought it just beats mm500. but if you got the money mm500 works better for mixing generally i think. there is more details here maybe it's because its using some of the tech on lcd5...
