LCD-2 Classic

Oooh! Here we go! [rubs hands together enthusiastically] For home theater purposes, I have Audeze LCD-2C Classics.

The HD490 has strong mids, very good detail, and superb directional audio for gaming. Lighter on the bass than the XV and maybe less versatile for music. I prefer the XV for music most of the time, The HD490 Pro is very solid and competent at most things related to music but stands out more for gami

ZMF Atrium Open and Audeze LCD2 Classic owner. I only listened to Atrium so my description is based only on this headphone and none of other ZMF.

Senn HD 6xx/650 are really great for detailed and smooth mids, but are lifeless and a bit smeared / veiled com

I love my headphones, although I found what I loved some time ago and have stuck with them, so I'm not with the times on the latest models. For at home, I use open back headphones. Best sound quality, but they don't isolate from the environment, so these probably aren't what you're after if you're l

Aryas have a wider soundstage, more airyness and lil more detail/clarity, highs didnt seem to be so piercing. Imaging is very holographic and they almost disappear on your head, way lighter in comparison. Sound is very analytical though, not as fun as my lcd-2 classic, bass is very impressive on bot
