Massdrop x Koss ESP/95X Electrostatic System

Sep 21, 2018

My LCD-2C‘s sounded better (more full and resolving) than the ESP-950‘s I tired extensively at a small audio meet that I went to earlier this year. Just my two cents.

AthtelGood to know... I have the LCD 2.2f, and was thinking of maybe getting an electro static as my 2nd end game. Perhaps I should just get the Stax.

HeavyboxerI’d definitely recommend the Stax, sounded leagues better than the Koss’s. (Lots of Stax there too lol.)

AthtelHow you can compare Lcd2 to an electrostatic, two worlds

ivanoukOpen back to open back. Two different ways of producing sound, but the targeted audience is the same.

cjeongIt was compared the LCD-2C if not wrong, but even the open lcd2 is a dark side.

ivanoukLCD-2C stands for LCD-2 Classic, which Is open back. In the case of the LCD-2 Closed, (confusing names much?), I haven’t heard it yet.

Athtelone of the reviews linked directly compared the LCD2s and ESP/950 after extensive listening and they writer loved both, but said the detail on the Koss was second to none and he was very impressed with them.

jm090Always remember that audio is subjective though. My experience is different than anyone’s here. To me my planars sounded better, to him it was the opposite and that’s okay, in the end it’s whatever floats your boat.

AthtelIs detail retrieval a subjective claim? I guess in certain ways its loosely subjective but audiophiles tend to agree with each other on detail retrieval from set to set..like its almost universally accepted that the HD800S have better detail then the LCD2s. I am not saying you are wrong and i am right, just throwing it out there.

jm090I would imagine the HD 800S’s are more detailed than the LCD-2C’s. But I have yet to try them. I by no means am blessed with Golden Ears, In fact, I personally like my Grado SR 325e’s the most right now.

AthtelThey are amazing headphones, i am not surprised ;) i had the gold anniversary edition 325s and loved them. Grado's are possibly my favorite sound signature, but fatigue my ears and i listen for hours in a session so i ended up moving them.

jm090Nice! I usually don’t get fatigued by them but my liste sessions on them are only 2-3 hours. I used my LCD’s for longer sessions whe I wasn’t paying as much attention to the music. But I ended up selling them, so now I use my Fostex TH-610’s for “comfort listening“.
