Audeze LCD-2 vs LCD-X

It was a pretty significant change imo for being called the same headphone afterwords. Imo the pre fazor has better timbre, a more pleasing signature, more organic impact and layering, a smoother and more liquid sound, also more spacious. The fazor gave the lcd 2 better imaging, more treble presence and detail, and a bit better separation and a slightly more intimate and cleanly sound, but imo lost what drew me to the LCD 2 in the first place. I would say that pre fazor isn’t better than fazor and vice versa, it’s really like a different model of headphone in the same category. I personally prefer the pre fazor a fair bit more, but some might enjoy the fazor model more, comes down to preference and what you want out of the headphones
