Blown away with the sound of the LCD-XC headphones. My first high end gear and I am not disappointed with the jump in quality - makes my extensive music collection sound alive, sitting front and center of the recording studio - and FUN!! Requires a new listen to everything, like I've never really heard it before. I cannot recommend this headphone enough. Yes, the price of admission is a little steep but for any serious music lover you owe it to yourself. Enjoy.

Blown away with the sound of the LCD-XC headphones.

What makes a quality headphone? What are the differences between $50 headphones and $5000 headphones? How does a person define their end game headphones, and what elements are a part of their decision matrix? If anyone is in the market for high end headphones, these are some of the most pressing questions. My goal is to discuss a few of these below, create some transparency, and allow everyone to have a better understanding of their needs and desires in order to purchase that perfect pair of stereo headphones.....
The AUDEZE closed-back LCD-XC Headphones offers all the benefits of the LCD Collection's open designs and isolates the listener while reducing ambient noise. No sound escapes the earcups. The headphone earcups are made of Bubinga wood with black lambskin leather earpads.
Easy to Drive
Like all Audeze headphones the LCD-XC is equipped with Fazor technology and is sensitive enough to be driven directly by portable players like iPods, iPhones and the better smartphones but an external amplifier produces better results.
Improved Focus and Clarity
Fast, dynamic and accurate sound using AUDEZE proprietary technology that eliminates breakup modes found in other designs and improves focus and clarity.
Fazor Technology
Audeze's patent-pending Fazor elements improve clarity, focus and the already spectacular holographic imaging. Two Fazor elements are placed just outside the two magnet structures that surround the diaphragm. They guide and manage the flow of sound around the magnets and are standard on all LCD headphones.
