I’ve only heard the 2014 Fazor with Vegan pads and I hated it, though the LCD 2C and Latest 2F do in-fact have the same pleather pads, the two models I reviewed were straight from Audeze and Current Gen units. So the newest revision. I don’t believe Audeze is shipping anything with the Velour Pads any more and if I’m not mistaken I think they only sell the Velour Pads [or vegan ect…] as replacements to existing owners
So I wouldn’t attribute it’s wetness to the pad, not when the 2F has the same pads. I feel it’s more due to the lack of Fazor. As what the fazor originally did was “focus” the sound, which resulted in
- Less Wettness
- Improved Clarity
Of course that last part is kinda subjective as some of the Pre Fazor LCD 2 have better clarity than the 2F and are noticeably wetter
