I have the LCD X, and have had LCD2s. Thought both were perfectly fine for long sessions. The whole “audeze are so heavy you need to do neck workouts” meme is super over exaggerated on this sub.

Not gonna lie, I don't generally find IEMs to be particularly comfortable, at least with heavy use. Doesn't matter what size tips I use, unless I want them falling out, my ears are going to be sore if I wear them all day. I prefer to use lightweight over-ears any time I can. I can wear my HD 58x all day and barely need to adjust them. My ATH-M40x on the other hand can feel a bit heavy after a while so I don't wear them much anymore. If I want something really flat I'll use my speakers.

Even started using my 58x at work/outdoors powered by my phone, and the drop in sound quality is hardly noticeable to me. Maybe 5% worse bass perhaps but that could very well be placebo.
