I am really into vocals/percussion/string music. Instruments like bongos, congas, claves, guiros, acoustic guitar, violins, basically anything made out of wood I enjoy lol. I am looking for headphones in any price range that will do good with this kind of music.
As far as what I already have in my headphone collection: 4xx, 6xx, Aiva’s, Argons, Elex, and Aeolus.
Haven’t heard the LCD2C’s yet, but been interested in those for a while. I’ve also been looking at Hifiman Arya’s, wonder which of those 2 would be better for this kind of music. Unfortunately, I have no place to demos these headphones :’(
I would say that I much prefer the Arya to the LCD 2 classics. The Arya presentation is much more engaging imo then the LCD 2 classics and really is a higher tier of headphone compared to the classics. They just have a sense of space and stage that the classics can’t really rival
Stax headphones are very interesting as well, but their main downside is the strange sounding timbre.
