Enjoy premium sound reproduction with the leather Audeze LCD-X Headphones, a pair of high-performance reference planar magnetic headphones, designed for professional mixing, mastering, and reference level personal Hi-Fi listening when connected to a low-powered external headphones amplifier or portable device.

The headphones are sensitive enough to be driven by portable music players such as iPods, iPhones, and other smartphones. Instead of utilizing traditional dynamic cone drivers, the headphones implement a neodymium planar magnetic transducer design to deliver a frequency response of 10 to 50 kHz with a THD of less than 1%, an impedance of 20 ohms, an efficiency of 103 dB per 1mW, and a total output SPL of over 130 dB when driven by 5W. The headphone earcups are made of anodized aluminum with black open-cell foam-covered lambskin leather earpads. The Audeze LCD-X are handmade in the USA and include a braided OCC copper 4-pin XLR combo cable with single-ended 1/4" adapter, and a standard LCD travel case.

The class-leading resolution and impressively low distortion makes the LCD-X comparable to high end speaker systems, without requiring large, expensive acoustic room treatments. When used with Audeze Reveal+ to create an AI-generated map of your own hearing, the LCD-X puts you inside renowned studios, letting you mix consistently and efficiently from anywhere.

LCD-X leverages patented Audeze technologies, including Ultra-Thin Uniforce diaphragms, Fazor waveguides, and powerful neodymium magnets to deliver extremely accurate and detailed sound. The sophisticated planar magnetic drivers achieve high efficiency with low impedance, such that LCD-X can deliver great sound from nearly any device with a headphone output. Together, these innovations enable audio professionals to efficiently get their mix done right in a variety of settings.

Audeze has improved the LCD-X over the years, lowering the weight and increasing comfort. It features a suspension headband for even weight distribution, and highly-cushioned premium earpads for support. The neutral tuning and low distortion prevent listening fatigue, so those late-night sessions never have to end.
