Best Closed Back Audiophile Headphone

Best value in a quality headphone.

Best Back pack I have ever bought! Met all of my expectations and more.

This extension cord gives me the range to us my new Rode NTH-100 Professional Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones from my sofa to the AVR to watch TV. Great quality.

I connect the SMH-1000 Closed-Back Professional Monitor Headphones to my Sony NEX-FS100UK hi-def professional camcorder.

I got these because they were the best budget audiophile headphone reviewed by RTINGS.com they are incredible for the price, and the build quality feels sturdy.

Pretty much blows the HD280 away at all frequencies especially the low end, sweet mids and highs, more like an audiophile headphone at a reasonable price, highly recommend them.

For an inexpensive closed back headphone this can't be beat. I use it when my normal selection of open cans will disturb the rest of the house. They need the aftermarket lamb skin pads, I am sure that will improve both comfort and sound over the vinly pads. Really like the modular cables it comes supplied with too.

Wow what a good sound and the attention to detail on these hp's is very good, just got them I've been looking for a really good closed back headphone and to my ears these are the best sounding, the level of quality, tonal balance and transparency of these hp's are second to none. They come with a new cable not that old Audeze ribbon type cable, and this new cable is much more attractive. Also the headband has changed these are weighty hp's for sure but very balanced. The sq of these hp's are something you really need to hear simply amazing sounding, I'm very pleased with this purchase and feel the LCD-XC's are a must have for anyone who enjoys their music..enjoy

For the pricepoint, the audio quality and depth in a closed back headphone is absolutely impressive, and when combining that with the solid build quality I genuinely cannot recommend these enough.

Amazing closed back headphone. The leather is very good quality and smells amazing. The build quality is top notch. The most comfortable pair I own. Although MDR-Z1R tends to be a bit genre specific (leaning towards dance, hiphop, and electronic music), it is a great overall performer. It's a little recessed in the mids and +12k for rock and roll, but it is just a such a great chill headphone. A lot of genres sound very good. Bass is so tight and has authority. Nothing is muddy, just really relaxed.
