Audeze LCD-X (2024)

High Performance sensitive Headphones.

Highly Efficient

The LCD-X is an extremely efficient headphone that extracts the maximum power out of low-powered amplifiers and portable devices.

Amazingly Neutral

The Audeze LCD-X is the most neutral of all the LCD Collection. That’s why it’s favored by recording engineers and musicians alike for its fast, dynamic and accurate sound. Their proprietary technology eliminates the breakup modes found in other designs and improves focus and clarity.

Enveloping Soundstage

Patent-pending Fazor elements guide and manage the flow of sound for improved frequency extension and a more enveloping soundstage. The X is sensitive enough to be driven directly by portable players like iPods, iPhones, and the better smartphones but an external amplifier produces better results.

Audeze’s Breakthrough Fazor Technology

Audeze’s innovative, patent-pending Fazor elements improve clarity, focus and the already spectacular holographic imaging. The two Fazor elements are placed just outside the two magnet structures that surround the diaphragm in each capsule. They guide and manage the flow of sound around the magnets. Fazors are standard on all LCD headphones.

Fazor Features

Loads the diaphragm with a symmetrical acoustic load

Improves acoustic impedance-matching that extends high frequency response and increases efficiency

Acoustically transparent so sound waves generated by the surface of the moving diaphragm pass through the magnetic structure undergraded

Improved phase response at high frequencies

Eliminates edge-diffraction of sound waves around magnetic structures

Sound waves generated by our large planar magnetic diaphragms pass through magnetic structures without disturbance preserving recorded detail

Phase distortion further reduced at high frequencies

Improved Impulse response

Better acoustic matching, symmetrical loading and minimised edge diffraction result in cleaner, more detailed and transparent output

Impulse response measurements with Fazors clearly show our planar element settles faster with less ringing.
