Description
- The reissue of our vintage original model, with the wonderful warm tonality of the LCD-2 headphone without Fazors. Note: this is slightly warmer sounding than our regular LCD-2.
- Incredible bass response due to the 100mm Planar Magnetic drivers – our Planar Magnetic drivers have superior impulse response, and make the headphones sound much more realistic.
- Our exclusive glass-infused nylon rings are rugged and improve the sound quality.
- Comes with our new steel suspension headband and leather-free memory foam earpads for added comfort. Rugged travel case is available separately: SKU #CSE1019-KT
- Hand crafted in California: Every LCD-X headphone is engineered and meticulously handcrafted then rigorously tested and calibrated before leaving our Southern California facility. This ensures your Audeze headphones will sound incredible from the first moment you listen to them, and many years after.
Audeze started in 2008 in a garage (of course!) when its founders came across a revolutionary flexible circuit material developed for NASA. Realizing this could be a great advance in planar magnetic technology, they first started to make pro audio PA speakers, but dropped this project and started making headphones – the LCD-1.
Taking this first headphone to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, it was a tremendous hit, and that success launched the company. Hanging on that garage wall was the 2001 Space Odyssey poster, and that inspired the company’s name. The founders wanted a name that had something to do with a “journey through audio,” so Odyssey would be perfect, and that’s how the name Audeze (pronounced “odyssey”) was born.

Sam Moyers –
Acceptable bass, poor mids, surprisingly good highs paired with Chord Mojo.
Very similar in sound to the much more modest Sennheiser HD650. The primary difference is the slightly larger sound stage and superior highs. I thought the LCD2-C’s mid-range was a bit bloated and off-putting, and while the bass was good, it was certainly not mind-blowing. I also can’t ignore how uncomfortable and heavy these are in comparison to other planars I’ve tried. I did however LOVE the ear pads on these and how much room there was for the ears. The sound is relaxed and warm. Easy to listen to at high volumes. Easy to tell which where sounds are coming from. That intruding mid-range though… It’s a shame.
Overall great cans, but too veiled for me. I returned them.
Tech Enthusiast –
Absolutely love these headphones. Though they’re a little heavy, they’re extremely comfortable. The comfort of the pads easily offsets the weight. 6 hour listening sessions were not a problem. Highs and mids are clear and well separated. Lows and sub bass extension are deep and rich without being overpowering. Overall, a great set of headphones that are in regular rotation.
