Audeze LCD-2 Closed Back Headphones - Classic Black Leather
The Classic LCD-2 Sound — With Isolation and Deeper Impact.
The LCD-2 Closed-Back takes the beloved, warm signature of the original LCD-2 and places it inside an acoustically tuned sealed enclosure, giving you the same rich tonality with added punch, focus, and noise isolation. Designed for listeners who love the lush, immersive Audeze sound but need privacy or controlled monitoring, this headphone blends musical warmth with the advantages of a closed-back design. Whether you’re tracking vocals, working in a shared space, or listening late at night, the LCD-2 Closed-Back offers a powerful, intimate, and beautifully textured sound.
Why Listeners Choose This Headphone
Warm, powerful and immersive
Like its open-back counterpart, the LCD-2 Closed-Back delivers deep, satisfying bass, smooth mids, and a relaxed treble that’s perfect for fatigue-free listening. The closed chamber adds weight, immediacy, and a more intimate presentation — ideal for modern genres, cinematic scores, and engaging personal listening.
Closed-back isolation without sacrificing resolution
The sealed design reduces external noise and prevents sound leakage, making it suitable for busy studios, apartments, offices, or recording environments. Unlike many closed headphones, the LCD-2 Closed-Back maintains a natural timbre and openness thanks to its planar magnetic engineering.
Proven Audeze planar technology
Featuring ultra-thin Uniforce™ diaphragms, precise magnet arrays, and the classic LCD-series acoustic design, the LCD-2 Closed-Back keeps distortion extremely low while delivering fast transients and clean imaging. Details like room reverb, vocal nuances, and subtle mix elements remain clear and expressive.
Comfort built for extended listening
The wide suspension headband and plush memory-foam pads distribute weight evenly for long, relaxed sessions. The closed cups form a comfortable seal without creating pressure hotspots — ideal for both tracking and everyday listening.
Perfect for controlled environments
This is the headphone for anyone who wants LCD-2 musicality but in situations where open-back listening isn’t practical. The combination of isolation and warmth makes it a great tool for vocals, overdubs, editing, or private audiophile enjoyment.
