Feed Your Head at Audio High
An evening with Audez'e and Smyth Research
On Wednesday, January 25th, from 5pm until 8pm Audio High will be hosting an open house with representatives from Audez'e and Smyth Research.
Audeze's LCD-2 magnetic planar headphones have been the hottest thing in headphones for the last year, and our sales indicate customers have found the product more than lives up to the "buzz." Audez'e recently announced the next level in performance with the new LCD-3, and we're very excited to have these on demonstration alongside the the LCD-2s. Early reviews for the LCD-3 headphones indicate they not only represent great value but actually raise the bar of what headphones can deliver:
"The Audeze LCD-3 is quite possibly the best dynamic headphone ever."
— Jude Mansilla, Head-Fi.org founder
"I thought their recently revised LCD-2 was the best-sounding full-size headphone on the planet, but the LCD-3 is even better.... The supersoft lambskin leather pads felt great on my ears. The new headphone is 'faster' and sounds clearer and cleaner."
Steve Guttenberg, CNET Audiophiliac Dec 2011
If Audez'e is raising the bar in headphone performance, Smyth Research is completely changing the game in how headphones can be used. Their Realiser A8 profiles what you personally hear in a specific listening environment — number of speakers, placement, tonality, etc. — and allows it to be accurately replicated using high-quality headphones. In essence, you can record our theater or high-end 2 channel room, a mixing studio, or your own existing system, and then experience that listening environment through headphones in another location. It's a unique technology that truly has to be heard to believed, and we'll be happy to demonstrate it at the event.
Although "surround in headphones" has been marketed for some time, it has always been disappointing, so we wouldn't be surprised if you are skeptical. But don't accept our word that this is groundbreaking technology;
