The Audeze LCD-X headphones are a performance marvel. They sound amazingly spacious, transparent, accurate, fast, detailed, and downright intoxicating. Go listen at your local retailer and prepare to be seduced into buying a pair of your own.

Overall, the Audeze LCD-X made a mark on me, and I will recommend them to anyone who asks. They offer remarkable build quality, comfort, and sound quality; everything you would expect for the money.

Audeze presents the models LCD-X and LCD-XC underneath the banner of the new Creator Edition series. The circumaural high-end headphones were specially designed for use with headphone preamps with low output power.

I was introduced to the Audeze (pronounced Odyssey) LCD-X headphones at the 2017 winter NAMM show. I’ve spent enough time in the audiophile world to be familiar with the Audeze name and reputation, but I had yet to experience the joy of listening through a pair of its headphones.

Headphone manufacturer Audeze commands a good deal of respect around these parts, mostly because their headphones are well-built and deliver a truly awesome sound. Does the Audeze LCD-X live up to this reputation? And if you’ve got $1699 to blow on headphones, is it worth the price?

The only thing I am a bit squeamish about is the price. But, then, I don’t particularly care for the price of a BMW 7000 either. On the other hand, both are worth their cost.

The LCD-X is an incredible headphone that wows with its detail, instrument separation, and imaging. The LCD-X is a headphone that just sounds confident in its technicalities and it responds incredibly well to EQ.

Audeze’s most practical open-back headphones yet are still not all that practical, but are capable of jaw-dropping sonics.

Awesome headphones! I have Grado SR 325i headphones, which are open backed, like the Audeze LCDX, but the Grado's don't leak sound no where as much as the Audeze. My wife doesn't mind the Grado's, but the Audeze don't hold anything back at all, and they're too much for her (too open!!).

[Note: the version of this product I received has the 2 piece headband, not the version shown in the image here] I had a chance to check these out. Unfortunately, they were not for me. Build: Many have mentioned that these are heavy, but as a former Stax user I thought I'd be used to it.

I'm a late supporter of Audeze. I've used many different headphones, many different brands for monitoring and mixing audio and I've loved others before. But my experience with Audeze has changed my view of headphones as a primary mixing tool. I started out discovering Audeze using the Audeze LCD-1.

Please don't read too much into the two 3-star edits I made since my prime motive in ordering the Audeze LCD-X's was to hope that it produced a sound closer to an electrostatic headphone than a dynamic headphone.

  • +

    I appreciated the build quality, comfort level, and clarity produced by these headphones. Unfortunately, as I noted above, the Audeze produced a sound closer to that of a dynamic headphone than I had hoped.

    I wish I didn't have to return these headphones. They are as advertised and cannot be faulted in any way. They are what they are and are true to what they're advertised to be. Some reviewers noted that they sounded like electrostatic phones; thus my interest in auditioning them.

I read a review of these cans (and they do somewhat resemble "cans") by Arnie Nudell, the designer of Infinity speakers, back when that brand was justifiably cool. He thought that these were the best of four contenders for best headphone on the market.

I have had a pair of the Audeze LCD-X for about 3 months now. I also received closed back inserts to swap out if needed. I have used all sorts of standard studio headphones in my musical career, Sony, AT, Sennheiser, etc.
