Audeze - LCD-2 Open-Back Headphones (Padauk Wood)

Escape with the Open-Back Headphones That Changed the Audiophile Market: Audeze LCD-2 Plays with Clear, Smooth, Spacious Sound, Feature Fazor Waveguide Technology for Low Distortion, and Suspension Headband

The U.S.A.-made LCD-2 open-back headphones put Audeze on the radar of thousands of music aficionados when they originally appeared at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. They also significantly changed the audiophile headphone field.

Upgraded in critical areas since its debut, LCD-2 plays with clear, natural, smooth, and spacious sound distinguished with warm tonality, a punch low end, and rich detail. Equipped with fazor waveguide technology for low distortion and precise imaging, LCD-2 makes no apologies for rendering music with an engaging physicality and immediate liveliness that many high-end 'phones shy away from. With a unique dual-sided staggered magnetic array, LCD-2's planar drivers give everything from hard rock to drum-and-bass to chamber fare the space to breathe and feel real.

Crafted in Southern California with gorgeous wood rings, LCD-2 is rounded out with an advanced suspension headband and cozy earpads. Sold with a standard travel case, four-pin XLR cable, four-pin XLR-to-.25-inch TRS adapter, and .25-inch-to-3.5mm adapter, these 1.31-pound phones deliver speed, transparency, and dynamics in spades. Are you ready?
