About the Headphones

 
"There is no hype, yet the elements in the mix have a distinctive clarity. I love the low end... Mixing on headphones can have a negative effect (everything sounds good on phones), however I’ve noticed that when I play mixes that I’ve done on the LCD–X, they translate beautifully on any other speakers that I’ve listened on."
