Open planarmagnetic helmet

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

Thanks to its open design and planar magnetic transducers, the LCD-X offers a transparent and detailed listening experience that allows for reliable decisions in mixing, mastering, or audio editing . It is also appreciated by audiophiles seeking a natural and analytical sound reproduction.

Audeze magnetic planar technology

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

Fazor™ technology, consisting of waveguides placed in front of the magnets, improves phase management and sound diffusion towards 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 sound professionals

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

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

Combined with the Audeze Reveal+ plugin, it is possible to obtain a personalized listening correction and to simulate different studio environments in order to work consistently even outside of an acoustically treated control room.

Comfort and robust construction

The LCD-X is built around a solid aluminum frame with thick, comfortable padding. Its suspension headband distributes weight to improve comfort during long work sessions.

The open-back design limits internal resonances and contributes to a more natural sound reproduction. Despite the size of its planar drivers, the headphones remain suitable for extended mixing or critical listening sessions .
