Overview

The Audeze LCD Spring Steel Suspension Headband (Leather) is a replacement headband assembly built for Audeze's LCD-series headphones, using a spring steel frame with a genuine leather suspension strap. It's designed to spread the headphone's weight evenly across your head rather than concentrating it in one spot, which is a common complaint with a worn or ill-fitting stock band.

Unlike a fixed carbon fibre band, the spring steel frame flexes and holds its shape, so it can be bent to fine-tune clamping pressure rather than requiring your head to adjust to it. It's compatible with all Audeze LCD-series headphones, with the exception of the LCD-5s and LCD-1.

Full instructions and the simple tools needed for installation are included with every headband.

Hotspots usually come from a headband that's stretched, sagging, or just doesn't distribute weight the way it did when it was new. A suspension strap replacement addresses that directly, rather than working around it with padding. Confirm your headphone model before ordering, and hold onto your original headband's serial number sticker in case you need it for warranty service.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

• Owners whose current headband concentrates pressure in one spot.
• Leather purists who prefer genuine leather over a synthetic strap.
• Long-session listeners spending hours at a time in their headphones.

How It Compares

If genuine leather isn't a priority, the same Spring Steel Suspension Headband is also available in a Leather Free version. For a lighter-weight alternative that trades adjustability for reduced weight, Audeze's Carbon Fiber Headband is worth a look instead.
