AUDEZE LCD-2. Headphones.

The beautifully crafted LCD-2, the planar magnetic headphone that puts Audeze on the high-end map, delivers audiophile-quality, low-distortion sound that articulates the power and nuance of your favorite music. The LCD-2 is the most forgiving of the poor recordings in the LCD Collection with a beautiful, musically rich presentation that communicates the warmth, power and glory of the music.

Exclusive flat magnetic LCD-2 technology.

Acoustically engineered for beautiful sound.

Audeze's innovative planar magnetic technology delivers amazingly realistic sound.

Diaphragms are finer than a human hair.

We use space-age materials in a nearly weightless diaphragm that's four times larger than typical headphones for fast response times, dramatically reduced distortion, higher resolution, and improved imaging.

Almost zero distortion.

Double-sided magnet assemblies provide uniform driving force across the entire diaphragm for near-zero distortion.

internal sound waves.

Patented Fazor™ Elements guide the headphones' internal sound waves to prevent resonance to produce a more accurate waveform.

Designed and handcrafted in the USA.

The LCD-2 is thoroughly designed for long-term comfort and beautiful sound. We are very attached to our planar transducers and our beautiful factory-made wood rings for grain and color. We use shedua wood from tropical West Africa. It is not on the watch list and is reported by the IUCN as a species of least concern. We also match the pads based on skin texture and color. You can choose lambskin or Microsuede headbands and earcups that are filled with carefully selected foam for best sound and contribute to the comfort level during long listening sessions. Connect the LCD-2 with a quality headphone amp or integrated amp for the best sound.

Industrial design by Audeze.

You'll be proud of how the LCD-2 sounds, and it's also imbued with sophisticated looks and beautiful handcrafted rings. The quality of the entire structure guarantees years of trouble-free listening. Our cutting-edge designs and circuit technologies have created stunningly beautiful-sounding headphones.

Listen Responsibly

To avoid damaging your headphones and/or your hearing, make sure the player's volume is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing the headphones on your head, gradually increase the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level. Exposure to excessive sound levels can cause gradual hearing loss and damage the headphones.

Excessive power levels can damage your headphones. Be sure to stay within the 5W RMS / 15W PEAK rated power levels to minimize the risk of damage, which is not covered under warranty.

Main differences in version 2017.

Physical improvements:

• 30% thinner sheets to be lighter and easier to move.

• Re-design of the magnetic circuit to make the magnetic flux through the diaphragm more uniform.

• Optimized diaphragm patterns to the new magnetic structure.

• Substantial improvement of the manufacturing process for optimal reliability.

Sound improvements:

• Higher resolution.

• More response speed in transients.

• Better extension in the low frequencies and more definition in the bass.

• Smoother, more natural mids and extended high frequencies.

• Better image and spatial placement of music.

The LCD-2 is Audeze's first original headphone - a fast, dynamic headphone with excellent bass and superb mids - a design that is sure to enhance focus and clarity of sound. The Fazor elements manage the sound flow providing better attention, greater extension in high frequencies and a sound image with more relief.

THE ORIGINAL

The LCD-2 is our original headset and the one that propelled us to numerous accolades and a universe filled with rave reviews.

BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS

The LCD-2 is the most forgiving of the range due to a magnetic structure that offers extremely low distortion. Fast and dynamic, with excellent bass and splendid mids.

Our patented technology eliminates the pain points of other designs and improves focus and clarity.

FOCUS AND FREQUENCY EXTENSION

Fazor elements manage the flow of sound into the headphones for better focus, greater extension of the upper part of the frequency and the background and remarkable 3D holographic image. The LCD-2 must be driven by an integrated or external headphone amplifier.
