Investment: $945

Worth it For: One of the most popular models of high end headphones, (and still financially manageable at less than $1,000), the Audeze LCD-2’s offer outstanding detail retrieval from bass to treble and all points in between. The bass, especially is something to be reckoned with. They also offer compatibility with a wide range of drivers without compromising sound, and their environmentally sustainable bamboo over the ear cases and lambskin leather earpads (also available in a synthetic) look and feel as good as they sound.
