The Audeze LCD-1 are designed for a well-balanced and neutral listening experience while at home, and they excel in this regard. They're very well-balanced, with only a minor recess in low-bass that likely shouldn't be too audible to most people. They also have very consistent audio delivery. Due to their open-back design, their soundstage sounds very open and spacious, though it still seems like it's coming from inside your head.
