Audeze LCD Spring Steel Suspension Headband - Leather Free

Overview

The Audeze LCD Spring Steel Suspension Headband (Leather Free) is a replacement headband assembly for Audeze's LCD-series headphones, built around a spring steel frame paired with a leather-free synthetic suspension strap. It's designed to spread the weight of the headphones evenly across your head rather than concentrating it in one spot, which is the usual cause of hotspots on a worn or ill-fitting stock band.

Every headband ships with a full instruction sheet and the simple tools needed to swap it in yourself, and it's compatible with all Audeze LCD-series headphones except the LCD-5s and LCD-1.

It's a straightforward fix for anyone whose current headband no longer distributes weight the way it did when new, without needing to replace the whole headphone.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

Hotspots almost always trace back to a headband that's stretched or sagging, not a problem with the earcups or drivers. Replacing just the suspension strap addresses that directly, and it's a fix most listeners can do themselves in a few minutes.

Why the Audeze LCD Spring Steel Suspension Headband (Leather Free) Stands Out

Even Weight Distribution

The spring steel frame spreads clamping weight across the head instead of concentrating it at one point, reducing pressure points during long sessions.

Leather-Free Synthetic Strap

A durable, animal-free suspension strap for listeners who'd rather avoid leather without giving up fit or comfort.

Adjustable Spring Steel Frame

Spring steel flexes and holds its shape, so the fit can be tuned to your head rather than the other way around.

Tool-Included Installation

A full instruction sheet and the simple tools needed for the swap are included with every headband.

Broad LCD-Series Compatibility

Fits all Audeze LCD-series headphones with the exception of the LCD-5s and LCD-1.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

  • Owners With Hotspot Discomfort: Anyone whose current headband concentrates pressure in one spot.
  • Leather-Free Preference: Listeners who'd rather avoid animal-based materials without giving up fit or comfort.
  • Long-Session Listeners: Anyone spending hours at a time in their headphones.

How It Compares

The frame, fit, and weight distribution are identical to the Leather version of this same headband — the only difference is the strap material, genuine leather there versus a leather-free synthetic here.

Audeze LCD Spring Steel Suspension Headband - Leather Free FAQs

Will this headband fit my Audeze LCD-3?

Yes. This headband fits all Audeze LCD-series headphones, including the LCD-3, LCD-X, LCD-XC, LCD-2, LCD-2 Classic, and LCD-MX4. It is not compatible with the LCD-5s or LCD-1, which use a different headband design.

What's the difference between this and the Leather version?

The frame, fit, and weight distribution are identical. The only difference is the suspension strap material: a vegan-friendly synthetic here versus genuine leather on the other version.

Is installation difficult?

No. Every headband ships with a full instruction sheet and the simple tools needed to make the swap yourself.

What happens to the serial number sticker on my old headband?

Your headphone's serial number is located on the original headband. Audeze recommends peeling off the sticker and applying it to the new headband, or keeping the old one on hand in case you ever need warranty service.
