From the most popular headphone blog in the Philippines  :)p8 Blame packaging for hobbyists thinking that it's not worth double the price!

Quote (selected)
Take the LCD-3 headphone – looks identical in almost every way to the LCD-2 but sounds a whole lot better to many yet the conclusion is that it is not double the money better. My take on that is that the packaging and looks played a role in that subjective conclusion.

Edit: I posted that comment before I was able to have yet another hour long audition session with an LCD-3 inside a quiet showroom. My impressions on it are now pretty certain. It's on the same level as an LCD-2, just of a different color. An HE6 with the proper set-up is more preferable to me by far. It really sounds bright IF used with the wrong amp or if it's underpowered.

I was criticizing the importance given to packaging and the saying that LCD3 is a lot better than the lcd2. Its there, please look for it first.

"Well I just got my hf3's and there's no way I'm keeping these. They are making the mids on my triplefi's seem super-recessed. :("

I don't like them because they make my other gear sound worse?

Rotational velocidensity affects all audio files encoded with lossy compression. These include mp3, aac, and ogg.
The most notable effect of rotational velocidensity is the loss of bitrate in files. A lossy audio file will lose an average of 12kbps a year. But, this can vary greatly depending on the type of storage media used.
Examples:
SATA HDD: ~12kbps
IDE HDD: ~15kbps
SCSI HDD: ~7kbps
DVD: ~16kbps
CD-R/RW: >21kbps
This can be overcome by compressing audio using lossless formats such as FLAC, APE, or TTA. These formats are designed to never lose quality over time, and will sound the same right now as they will in 10 years.
