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.

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.
