Audeze LCD Ear Pads - Leather Free, Open-Cell Foam

Overview

The Audeze LCD Ear Pads (Leather Free) are vegan-friendly replacement pads built for Audeze's LCD-series headphones, using the same open-cell foam padding found on new LCD models straight from the factory. Original ear pads compress and wear down with regular use, gradually changing how a headphone fits and seals against your ears. These pads bring that fit back, and each pair includes PSA and half-moon spacers so you can fine-tune clamping pressure and depth to your preference.

They're compatible with most Audeze LCD-series headphones, with the exception of the LCD-5s and LCD-1, which use a different pad design. No tools are required for installation: the old pads unclip from the earcup and the new ones press into place, with a short instructional video available from Audeze to walk through the process.

Because these are made by Audeze specifically for the LCD lineup, the mounting, shape, and foam density match what shipped on the headphone originally, just with a leather-free exterior for anyone who'd rather avoid animal-based materials.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

Ear pads are a wear item, not a defect. Foam breaks down years before the drivers or headband ever will, and it's often the reason a headphone that used to feel great suddenly doesn't. Confirm which LCD headphone model you own before ordering, since the LCD-5s and LCD-1 use a different pad design and won't work with this pair.

Why the Audeze LCD Ear Pads (Leather Free) Stand Out

Vegan-Friendly Synthetic Exterior

Durable, animal-free material that matches the look and feel of genuine leather without using it.

Open-Cell Foam Padding

Comfortable, breathable foam that restores the seal and cushioning original pads lose over time.

Included Fit Spacers

PSA and half-moon spacers let you fine-tune depth and clamping pressure to your head shape.

Factory-Matched Fit

Made by Audeze specifically for the LCD lineup, so mounting, shape, and foam density match the original.

Tool-Free Installation

The old pads unclip from the earcup and the new ones press into place, no tools required.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

  • Long-time LCD owners whose original pads have flattened, cracked, or lost their seal after years of use.
  • Listeners who'd rather avoid animal-based materials without giving up fit or comfort.
  • Secondhand buyers picking up a used LCD headphone that needs a fresh set of pads.

How It Compares

If you prefer genuine leather, the Audeze LCD Ear Pads - Black Leather version uses the same foam padding and fit spacers with a leather exterior instead.

Audeze LCD Ear Pads - Leather Free, Open-Cell Foam FAQs

Will these ear pads fit my Audeze LCD-3?

Yes. These pads fit most Audeze LCD-series headphones, including the LCD-3, LCD-2, LCD-2 Classic, LCD-X, LCD-XC, and LCD-MX4. They are not compatible with the LCD-5s or LCD-1, which use a different pad design.

How do I know it's time to replace my ear pads?

Foam padding compresses and the exterior material can wear thin after a few years of regular use, changing how the headphone fits and seals against your ears. If your pads feel flat, stiff, or no longer sit evenly, it's a good sign they need replacing.

Is installation difficult?

No tools are required. The old pads unclip from the earcup and the new ones press into place. Audeze provides a short instructional video to walk through the process step by step.

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

The fit, foam padding, and included spacers are identical. The only difference is the exterior material: a vegan-friendly synthetic here versus genuine leather on the other version. Comfort and sound are otherwise the same.
