Analysis
The Audeze LCD-4 scores 9.2/10 with 200Ω impedance and 103dB sensitivity. At 200Ω, it benefits significantly from a dedicated amplifier.
The Noble Audio Kublai Khan scores 9.2/10 with 18Ω impedance and 110dB sensitivity. At 18Ω, it can be driven directly without extra hardware.
Both headphones score equally. The best choice depends on your full audio chain — use our analyzer to find your actual bottleneck.

A high headphone score doesn't mean your audio sounds great. Your DAC, amp or source might be the real bottleneck.
