My LCD-X sometimes would make the crunching/popping plastic noises when putting them on if the seal was done too quickly when putting them on the headphone stand and my ears.

Using LCD-X. Just a note: the volume was extremely quiet and I had to crank it up by a ton.

I did notice that there were some things that both headphones weren’t the best at for translating into a theatre space.

I also own the LCD X and they have the greatest bass response I ever heard. If I listen to EDM it feels like being in a club and there is 0 distortion while doing so. They can hit really hard.

The headphones themselves are great... they really wowed me when i got a better amp and now they're easily one of if not my favourite headphones, especially with a good eq.

The LCD X has an impedance of 20Ω.

I have used the LCDX for mixing movies for 4 years now and the low end is definitely something that requires higher watts despite being very sensitive.

I know its not the lcd x but with my lcd 3 i really loved the Mjolnir 2 with it.

I usually tell people to pick based on comfort first because LCD X is a long haul headphone. If heat drives you nuts, leather free is the move and EQ can handle the rest.

The mentioned lcd x is a rather dark sounding headphone
r/HeadphoneAdvicepositive2
Lcd x might in particular be a good pick in your case just because the dark treble response in comparison to the usual makes it a much easier listen across the genres of choice
r/HeadphoneAdviceneutral1
Isnt lcd x double the price even second hand?
r/headphonesneutral4
How does the bass differ between the LCD X and 4? Assume fully EQd…
r/headphonesneutral3
I have the LCD X and the bokeh closed and Atticus. They are great and different to what you have
