Description

Here’s the headphone that started it all. The LCD-2 was the very first headphone sold by Audeze, and helped lead them to the coveted position as the world’s leading manufacturer of planar magnetic headphones. Although it’s seen improvements over the years, the LCD-2 retains the iconic warmth and tonal balance that have made it a customer favourite since its original release. If you’re looking for a high-end headphone for at-home listening that exemplifies the Audeze experience and tradition, look no further than the LCD-2 Padauk.

LCD-2 is the most forgiving of the LCD range due to a magnetic structure that provides extremely low distortion. Fast and dynamic with terrific bass, the midrange is superb as are the golden highs. Audeze’s proprietary technology eliminates breakup modes found in other designs while improving clarity.

Audeze LCD-2 uses a proprietary thin film diaphragm that is housed between a unique super efficient push-pull magnetic structure. Audeze’s manufacturing process combined with the advanced materials and technology produce extremely accurate and incredible sounding headphones. The sloped earpads are made of premium lambskin leather with specially selected foam to offer the right amount of firmness.

Genuine listening.
