Audeze LCD-2 Over-Ear Open-Back Magnetic Planar Headphone

Audeze LCD-2 planar magnetic headphones

The Audeze LCD-2 is a premium open-back planar magnetic headphone designed for audiophiles seeking a warm, spacious, and highly immersive listening experience. As one of the original models that established Audeze’s reputation in high-end personal audio, the LCD-2 combines advanced planar driver technology with handcrafted construction and refined acoustic tuning.

Equipped with large 106 mm neodymium planar magnetic drivers and a proprietary dual-sided staggered magnetic array, the LCD-2 delivers exceptional clarity, wide stereo imaging, and detailed low-distortion playback. The implementation of Fazor phase management technology improves sonic precision, focus, and spatial accuracy while maintaining the headphone’s signature smooth tonal character.

The LCD-2 is tuned for rich midrange reproduction, deep extended bass, and natural high-frequency detail, creating an engaging presentation that closely connects listeners with the original recording. The open-back architecture enhances soundstage realism and airflow, contributing to a holographic stereo image and more natural acoustic performance.

Comfort and craftsmanship are central to the LCD-2 design. Hand-finished Padauk wood rings provide a refined appearance while the upgraded ventilated suspension headband and latest-generation earpads improve long-session comfort. The lightweight over-ear construction minimizes pressure and distributes weight evenly for extended listening sessions.

Engineered and handcrafted in Southern California, the LCD-2 features detachable dual mini-XLR connectivity for reliable audio performance and flexible cable replacement. Designed for high-fidelity home listening and reference playback, the LCD-2 continues to represent Audeze’s signature blend of musical warmth, detail retrieval, and planar magnetic precision.
