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.

Acoustically engineered for accuracy

Audeze’s innovative planar magnetic technology delivers clear and accurate sound that reveals everything on the recording.

Diaphragms thinner than a human hair

We use space-age materials in an ultra thin diaphragm four times larger than typical headphones for fast response times, dramatically reduced distortion, higher resolution and improved imaging.

Near zero distortion

Double-sided magnet arrays delivers a uniform driving force across the entire diaphragm for near zero distortion.

Incredible bass response due to Audeze’s 100mm planar drivers and closed back design. Our Planar Magnetic drivers have superior impulse response, and make these headphones sound more realistic.
It’s the second most neutral closed back headphone available – our LCD-XC at only $1299 is the most neutral closed back headphone.
Our exclusive glass-infused nylon rings are rugged and improve your sound quality. NOTE: this is the same as the original model, but we’ve changed the outer design of the earcups – no change in audio.
Comes with our new steel suspension headband and memory foam earpads for added comfort. Rugged travel case is available separately:
