Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Another good can you should consider is HD650 it has similar dark sound signature like LCD2 with less bass.
Also you should def try it before buy those cans...
It all depends on the type of music you like. T1 is def all arounder as well as LCD2. D5000 and Pro900 are bass heavy but they could be little harsh in high. I'm not sure how strong is DX100's integrated amp but I would def consider HE400 or HE500 as well.
Another fact is that some headphones...
