Our Verdict

Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee

Audeze LCD-1

The Audeze LCD-1 and the Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee are similarly performing open-back, over-ear headphones. They both have very accurate sound reproduction, but the Audeze are more comfortable and feel better built. On the other hand, the Sennheiser feel more stable on the head.
