Features

  • 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. As of June, 2021 it now includes our economy carry case at no additional cost.
  • 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.

  • Fantastic
Style: Open Back
I bought this about 6 months ago. I have all high end Hifiman and others in my arsenal. I also have all high and dac/amps. Audeze always sounded very good with a few of the most powerful dac/amps I have. But then I bought the new XDUOO XD05T last month. This is a hybrid design incorporating vacuum tubes with the latest technology. It took my Audeze to the wow level. Fantastic now! ... show more

  • Truly, one of the best pairs of headphones I own.
Style: Open Back
Just buy them. They are top notch build. They sound amazing. They come with awesome accessories—it’s a $150 case alone and the cables are worth another $100. And, they’re made in the USA! I own $1,000+ headphones and these are my go-to set. Audeze has actually delivered a warm planar here—almost impossible to do. Only caveat, you will need a good amplifier to get the most out of these. But this is true of most planar headphones. ... show more

  • Built like a tank
Style: Open Back
These headphones simply sound great and are super comfortable. I originally had a different headphone, the Edition XS, but they felt so cheap and the left connector caused crackling sounds so bad that I ended up returning them and saving up for the Audeze pair. Hifiman's QC is absolutely terrible, and I went with Audeze because I want a product that I know will last. ... show more

  • EQ'd they are my end game for bass
Style: Open Back
I was on the hunt for a bass-oriented pair of headphones. I tried all the Fostex headphones, E-MU, etc. and I found that while they do have good bass, the mids and highs were severely lacking and sounded super bright. Mind you, I am no audiophile. I just wanted something that sounds good and does not lack on the low end. My research lead me to the Audeze LCD-2C's. Many people will tell you that these headphones EQ'd are amazing, and I have to 100% agree. When I first tried these out without EQ, I was unimpressed. I found them to be boring and neutral sounding, but not as good as my cheaper HD 6xx's. But once I cranked up the low end on my equalizer, I fell in love. I highly recommend if that is what you are looking for. There are free equalizer software available (the best being equalizer APO) that I recommend installing to get the most out of these headphones. ... show more

  • Best headphones I've ever owned
Style: Open Back
I currently own about 12 pairs of headphones, and these are by far my favorite. The clarity, the punch in the bass (I swapped dekoni elite fenestrated pads on here for even more soundstage and bass boost), and just overall quality in sound make them king for me.
