Audeze LCD-X Open Back Headphone - Aluminium rings, Leather

The Studio Standard for Modern Creators.

The LCD-X is one of the most widely trusted professional headphones in the world — a reference tool used by mixers, mastering engineers, producers and vocalists who rely on accuracy above all else. Its planar magnetic drivers reveal low-level information, spatial cues and transient detail with stunning precision, making it a true alternative to near-field monitoring. Whether you’re editing vocals, balancing a dense mix, or evaluating a master, the LCD-X provides a clear, honest picture of your work.

Neutral, revealing and balanced

The LCD-X delivers a tonally honest presentation with extended lows, clean mids and a smooth, non-fatiguing top end. Its transparency makes it ideal for identifying masking, compression artefacts, sibilance and mix imbalances. Engineers consistently describe it as “monitor-like”, accurate, fast and reliable across genres.

Engineering built for precision

Audeze’s planar magnetic technology uses Uniforce diaphragms and powerful magnet arrays to deliver extremely low distortion and instantaneous transient response. This enables the LCD-X to resolve micro-details that dynamic-driver studio headphones simply miss, including reverb decay, panning flaws, phase issues and subtle edits.

Efficient and amplifier-friendly

Unlike many high-end planars, the LCD-X is easy to drive. Its high sensitivity allows excellent performance from high-quality interfaces, headphone outputs and portable rigs. Professionals appreciate its flexibility across studios, home setups and mobile workflows.

Comfort designed for long sessions

The aluminum frame, padded headband and deep memory-foam earpads distribute weight evenly for extended comfort. For long tracking or mixing sessions, the LCD-X provides stability without pressure fatigue.

Trusted by top engineers worldwide

From film mixing rooms to Grammy-winning master suites, the LCD-X is a go-to reference headphone. Its ability to translate mixes reliably to speakers and real-world systems is the reason it became an industry standard.

Comfort Notes

The LCD-X has a solid, studio-grade build, but its soft earpads and well-balanced headband make long listening or editing sessions comfortable. The open-back design allows airflow, which helps reduce heat buildup over extended use.

Versatility Notes

The LCD-X not only works well with high-quality interfaces and phone amps, due to its low impedance, a laptop or a phone is enough to get a great sound! For mastering-grade accuracy, pairing with a dedicated DAC/amp unlocks even greater dynamic precision and headroom.
