Had a chance to listen to this at canjam. Here are some brief thoughts…

Audeze LCD-5 - Man oh man, this was the first time hearing an over-ear open Audeze planar hp. They only gave us around 4-5 min. of play time and the line was always full–as you’d expect. Build was great and lightweight indeed. The hinges that hold the yolks had a very smooth chamfer that made it very nice to hold. As for sound, it sounded pretty warm and slightly thick while still keeping treble extension. Bass, I thought, was pretty slammy and hard-hitting. I know some people were concerned that the small driver would impact “slam” quality but since I’ve no prior experience with Audeze planars, I couldn’t tell you. I preferred the Susvara though overall…by quite a bit. lol
