I have a pair of LCD-Xcs and love them. Yes, they are incredibly heavy, but after a minute or so, the weight doesn't bother me. The sound manages to be both warm and detailed. My previous Sennheiser HD 800s might have x-rayed the music a bit more, but at the expense of musicality. I chose a closed back design to help block out background sounds in my house. Both the kitchen and laundry room are nearby, and when my my wife does the laundry or is working in the kitchen, I don't want my musical bliss to be interrupted!
