Review Summary
2017-03-15T16:24:10
This is a SERIOUS pair of headphones. I compared it head to head (no pun intended) with the LC8s and other Audeze and Focal headphones, and this one was miles ahead of the others, even with my little iBasso player. It is built to work well with low powered devices and high power amps alike. The sound is unbelievably clear and well-defined. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to its weight. It is very heavy and can be tiring to wear it. The difference in quality of sound makes it worth it to me, but sometimes my neck starts to hurt a bit after 30-60 minutes of use. I decided to keep it in the end, but was a bit torn. The open back design makes it seem like you're not wearing headphones, but listening to a killer set of speakers.

The Audio Professional's Choice
Our Best-Selling Headphone
Since Audeze introduced the LCD-X in 2013, it has become the gold standard of the professional audio world. Trusted by award winning artists and engineers, the LCD-X is a blend of transparency and reliability, ideal for any studio or audiophile system.
Taking the Room out of the Equation
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.
Accuracy, Transparency, and Efficiency
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 a 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.
Designed for Comfort
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.
