Audeze LCD-X Over-Ear Open-Back Headphones with New Suspension Headband
Overview
The Audeze LCD-X is the brand's best-selling headphone and the reference choice for professional audio engineers and audiophiles alike. Since its introduction in 2013, it has become the gold standard for transparency and reliability in any studio or critical listening system. A 106mm Ultra-Thin Uniforce diaphragm paired with a proprietary magnet array and Fazor phase management delivers detailed, accurate sound that rivals high-end speaker systems, without the need for an acoustically treated room.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
The LCD-X is almost always our first recommendation for anyone moving into serious music production. Its low 20-ohm impedance and 103 dB sensitivity make it one of the easiest planar magnetic headphones to drive, so it performs well straight out of most interfaces without needing a dedicated amplifier. A suspension headband and highly cushioned earpads keep it comfortable through long sessions despite its all-metal build.
Best for the Audeze LCD-X: use the included braided 4-pin XLR combo cable with its single-ended 1/4" adapter straight into an interface or headphone amp for the cleanest signal path.

Why the Audeze LCD-X Stands Out
106mm Ultra-Thin Uniforce Diaphragm
Delivers detailed, accurate sound with low distortion across the frequency range.
Fazor Phase Management
Reduces phase distortion inside the driver housing for precise imaging.
Low Impedance, High Sensitivity
At 20 ohms and 103 dB, it drives easily from nearly any device with a headphone output.
10Hz-50kHz Frequency Response
Delivers full-range detail with less than 0.1% THD at 100dB SPL.
Suspension Headband
Distributes weight evenly with a cushioned fit for long listening or mixing sessions.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Working Engineer: Professionals who need a reliable, translatable reference headphone.
- The Home Studio Owner: Anyone mixing without a fully treated room.
- The Serious Home Listener: Audiophiles who want reference-level accuracy without demanding amplifier requirements.
How It Compares
If you'd prefer leather earpads on the same driver and build, we also carry the LCD-X with leather earpads. For Audeze's most resolving open-back model regardless of amplifier requirements, the LCD-5s is worth a look.
