Audeze LCD-2 Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

Audeze LCD-2 Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones

Audeze LCD-2 Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones are designed for audiophiles and professionals seeking a warm, engaging, and highly detailed listening experience. Built on the legacy of the original 2008 LCD-2 model, these headphones are known for their iconic tonal character, combining powerful bass response with a rich midrange and smooth high-frequency extension.

The headphones use advanced neodymium planar magnetic transducer technology instead of traditional dynamic drivers. This design places a thin diaphragm within a uniform magnetic field, allowing precise control of movement and significantly reducing distortion. The result is an extended frequency response from 10 Hz to 50 kHz with exceptionally low harmonic distortion, ensuring clarity across all audio ranges.

Constructed with Caribbean rosewood earcups and anodized aluminum components, the LCD-2 combines acoustic performance with premium craftsmanship. The open-back design enhances spatial realism, producing a natural and expansive soundstage ideal for studio monitoring, critical listening, and immersive music playback.

Comfort is prioritized through open-cell foam earpads covered in top-grain leather and a lightweight suspension-style headband, allowing long listening sessions without fatigue. The headphones are engineered for durability while maintaining acoustic precision and balanced weight distribution.

Performance is further enhanced by Audeze Fazor waveguiding elements, which control sound wave behavior inside the earcups to improve imaging and frequency response. The planar magnetic system ensures fast transient response, efficient heat dissipation, and improved amplifier compatibility due to its resistive load characteristics.

Each unit is handcrafted in the USA with precise wood grain matching for aesthetic consistency. The headphones include a detachable high-quality cable system featuring a 1/4 inch to dual 4-pin mini XLR connection and come with a professional-grade carrying case for protection and transport.

Additionally, LCD-2 is supported by Audeze Reveal calibration software, designed to simulate studio reference monitoring conditions for more accurate mixing and listening experiences.
