Improving upon the iconic headphones that first put Audeze on the map, the LCD-2 Planar Headphones with Leather-Free Earcups sport an over-ear, open-back design just like the originals, an ideal choice for the audiophile seeking a forgiving home listening experience.

The LCD-2 sports massive 106mm neodymium drivers and a proprietary planar magnetic transducer array with new Fazor phase management for superior clarity, focus, and a truly holographic stereo image. The 5W RMS power handling can take even the most potent audio content and reproduce it with accuracy and exceptional definition.

Q: 4. Does these headphones need a break in period , if so for how many hours does it need and how loud should you play them for the break in period to finish ?

A: Here is the information that the manufacturer provides in the user manual for the Focal Clear MG headphones regarding an initial break-in period: • These headphones require a running-in period in order to operate at their best. • They will run themselves in naturally after several hours of listening time. • If you want to speed up the process, we recommend playing very bassy music through them for at least 24 hours at a relatively high volume. • This will stabilize the speaker drivers and allow you to get the very best out of your headphones.

Q: 8. It is priced the same as the (black & Red) Clear MG "Professional" but this Chestnut colored one is NOT labelled "Professional". Is it a "Lower Standard Tool" than the professional (or was the person typing in the description negligent to the details)?

A: The product names are listed in the same manner as Focal lists them on their website and in the product manuals. The Focal Clear MG Open-Back Headphones - Chestnut and Mixed Metal Finish (B&H # FOFCLEARMG) does not list "Professional" in the title and it includes two different cables than those that come with the black and red Focal Clear MG Professional Open-Back Headphones (B&H # FOCLEARPROMG). The Clear MG comes with a 9.8' balanced cable with a 4-pin XLR connector and a 3.9' unbalanced cable with a 3.5mm connector, as well as a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter. The Clear MG Professional comes with a 16' unbalanced coiled cable with a 1/4" connector and a 3.9' unbalanced cable with a 3.5mm connector, as well as a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter. The specs for both models are exactly the same, but they seem to be marketing to different users which is why the included cables are different. Focal mentions that the Clear MG is for home use while the Clear MG Professional is for studio use. Here are links to the manufacturer's information pages for both models: Clear MG - http://www.focal.com/en/headphones-0/headphones/for-home/clear-mg Clear MG Professional - http://www.focal.com/en/clear-mg-professional-exceptional-headphones-for-music-creators
