Audeze LCD-X

Open-back planar magnetic headphones

The Audeze LCD-X is a high-end open-back headphone designed to deliver extremely precise sound reproduction. Developed by American brand Audeze, it has become a reference in professional studios thanks to its high resolution, very low distortion and faithful reproduction of the frequency spectrum.

Thanks to its open design and planar magnetic drivers, the LCD-X offers transparent, detailed listening that allows reliable decisions in mixing, mastering or audio editing. It is also popular with audiophiles looking for natural, analytical reproduction.

Audeze planar magnetic technology

The LCD-X uses large 106 mm planar magnetic drivers combined with neodymium magnets and an ultra-thin Uniforce™ diaphragm developed by Audeze. This architecture allows extremely precise control of diaphragm movement, resulting in fast transient response, deep bass and great clarity in the mids and treble.

Fazor™ technology, made up of waveguides placed in front of the magnets, improves phase management and the way sound is delivered to the ear. The result is a more coherent and precise stereo image, essential for correctly judging placement and balance in a mix.

Precision designed for audio professionals

With extremely low distortion and wide bandwidth, the LCD-X lets you hear the micro-details of a mix with great precision. Its neutral, transparent reproduction makes it a reliable working tool for audio engineers.

Compared with many planar headphones, it also stands out for its high efficiency and low impedance, so it can easily be used with an audio interface, a console or a standard headphone amplifier.

Paired with the Audeze Reveal+ plugin, you can get personalised listening correction and simulate different studio environments, to work consistently even outside an acoustically treated control room.

Comfort and robust construction

The LCD-X is built around a solid aluminium chassis with thick, comfortable ear pads. Its suspension headband spreads the weight to improve comfort during long work sessions.

The open design limits internal resonances and contributes to more natural sound reproduction. Despite the size of its planar drivers, the headphone remains suitable for long mixing or critical listening sessions.
