The Audeze LCD-X is a premium open-back planar magnetic headphone engineered for accuracy and neutrality. It features extra-large 106mm planar drivers, a proprietary magnet array, and Ultra-Thin Uniforce™ diaphragms for precise sound reproduction. The open-back design provides a natural soundstage and excellent spatial positioning, making it a favorite among sound engineers and audiophiles. The LCD-X is highly efficient and can be driven by portable devices, though an external amplifier is recommended for optimal performance. The headphones are handmade in the USA and include premium accessories such as a braided OCC copper cable and a travel case.
