The sale price on from Adorama on these made me break down. I'd wanted a pair since I've heard them but the price difference made me think I'd try to be content with the LCD-2. The LCD-3 has a much better and more open sound than the LCD-2. I would have missed this every time I used the LCD-2. As others have said, excellent bass. The highs are superb with no sibilance or stident sounds. It may be less detailed than some want but they aren't fatiguing like other bright phones. The midrange is excellent. Male and female vocals sound great. The soundstage could be better, sometimes imaging isn't as good as some though I've never heard any phones that image like a good two-channel system. Headphones are so convenient though it let's me enjoy music more than I could otherwise. The height, depth, width and placement are engaging but not open and convincing. The rest of my review is for Adorama. They were excellent! Best price I've seen (I've been hunting). Their bundle included the hard case etc. which I've seen some dealers not include. They have many options in the finish for the LCD-2. I ordered the LCD-2 in Al and shedua wood to see if I could 'settle' for the LCD-2. I kept the LCD-3 and returned the LCD-2's. Adorama was fast with the return and have a satisfied customer. Best pricing, great service and an authorized dealer, thanks Adorama!

I bought these on a whim as part of a too-good-to-pass-up package deal. I didn't really need them as I have a similar model, the Audeze LCD2. However, the LCD3 really IS a step forward in the family. The pros are build quality and sound quality. The main concern area is simply the weight of these big honkers. I'm happy I got them and now have to wonder about the LCD4, the XC and other more recent models in the family. I just love the planar magnetic sound.

I was astounded at the package deal on offer from Adorama and jumped on this deal - a Micro DSD Black Label DAC/Amp, Audeze LCD3 headphones and an Astell&Kern AK100ii DAP for almost 40% off MSRP. Too good to pass up, and I really like all three items in the bundle.

This bundle contains 2 TOTL gears with great value. The iFi Pro iCAN has a rich features not found on other headphone amplifiers, it drives not only LCD-3, but every headphones on the market well with more than enough power reserved, its potential makes it an end-game amplifiers for many audiophile. Audeze LCD-3 is one of the best headphones in the audiophile world, it is a recognized TOTL headphones and has been used as reference in headphones comparison review. It is beautifully built and sound amazing on its own. Highly recommended.

Glad i got this deal. I'm very happy with this set, it's not the perfect paired between Lcd3 and pro iCAN but the sound quality is Crystal. Thanks Adorama for this deal

Lush sounding great HP's that I really love. Worth "upgrading" the band to carbon fiber and if the ear pads or a bit warm the option of replacing the ear pads worked great for me. Still one of the best HP's on the market today!

The LCD-3 excels in every parameter but is easy to drive for most amps (some of which may have problems driving the LCD-4). Haven't compared but guess they are close to the quality of the LCD-4. These high resolution headphones will bring life to your music in realistic replication of the signal compared with a dynamic or lesser planar headphone. They deserve the best of sources, cabling, and amplification to use with them.
