    High points for clarity, comfort, sound stage, instrument separation and precision tuning and stereo balance on the lower end as well as in the mids and uppers. There is no low points, except maybe the high price... But, in this case, it is obviously justified.

    Just excellent build quality. They sound more spacious but other than that they dont sound any better than my $150 ATH-M50x to my ears. The low end really opens up with break in so thats not the problem i originally thought it would be out of the box. i really, really, really wanted to keep these, they are so beautiful, but i just cant justify it by the sound. Maybe i need to step up in price range to get what im looking for....

    Lcd x headphones were everything I expected. The only reason for the 4 star rating is their price.

    I own a lot of expensive headphones and I can say from experience that these are hands down the best. I cant figure out what flaws these have. The detail on these is extreme. The bass is just right and the vocals are spot on. Excellent imaging and clarity. Buy these!

    I have been a headphone guy for the past several years, an audio guy for over four decades and a music lover since I was a child growing up in the 1960s. The headphone craze began for me back in the later 90s while working a second shift job because my wife and newborn would be sleeping when I arrived home and I was unable to immediately go to sleep but didnt want to wake them. Over the years I have amassed a small collection of headphones, all good, but the LCD-X is INSANE!

    These do not sound good at all without correction EQ. But with correction they are very impressive and it is possible to do high end content creation exclusively with these as the monitoring solution. They are also very heavy, but for me quite comfortable none the less. Unfortunately Amazon does not allow pointing to a place to get free correction EQ so those interested will have to search for it on the net.

    Ive started to notice after several hours of listening time that my right ear is now touching the right fazor (plastic grill) on the headphone and causes great discomfort. Ive looked online and this is a known issue with audezes LCD line. Its surprising that people have had issues with the exact same thing and yet dont fix their pads. Ive contacted support and was told that there was nothing they can do. I dont have giant ears and they are quite normal. When I glance at the pads the right padding seems thinner than the left pad. Also not to mention that the pelican case that comes with the headphone is missing a rubber foot so when its placed on a flat surface it wobbles.

    is a little heavy. With my big noggin Ive literally maxed out the rods to fit on my head. Very comfortable as the weight is well-distributed. However youll feel it after a few hours. Overall theyre sound fantastic, a little dark which Id preferred. Theyre good for any genre of music. Good little investment if youre enjoy music during quiet nights OR days. Comes highly recommended!

    Well built but muddy sounding, with little high-frequency detail. Very heavy and uncomfortable.

    This thing is built like a tank, you could use it for self-defense its so strong. Its heavy enough to feel the weight when I turn my head but honestly, I love it. Ive gotten used to it. The weight kinda reminds me to lay back and listen. Its pretty comfortable with the leather strap and squishy earpads despite the weight. It looks like its built to last a century. Its like one of those they dont make em like they used to kinda products from the 1950s. 5/5 durability

This is the latest advancement of our famous LCD-X (effective March 2021). Many say the LCD-X is the most neutral of the LCD Collection; they’re used by sound engineers and musicians to create the most accurate recordings. Just Google Manny Marroquin, Stuart Hawkes, Frank Filipetti, Ed Cherney, George Massenburg, Elliot Scheiner, or Brent Burge for a few examples of our Audeze users. They do a great job of translating your mix to the real world. The X and its brother, the closed-back XC, are sensitive enough to be driven directly by portable players like iPods, iPhones, and some of the better smartphones, but you’ll enjoy much better sound with an external amplifier. Its impedance is 20 ohms.

Audeze"s exclusive Planar Driver design has lower distortion

Diaphragms thinner than a human hair

We use space-age materials in an ultra thin diaphragm four times larger than typical headphones for fast response times, dramatically reduced distortion, higher resolution and improved imaging.

Near zero distortion

Double-sided magnet arrays delivers a uniform driving force across the entire diaphragm for near zero distortion.

Internal waveguide

Patented Fazor Elements guide internal headphone soundwaves to avoid resonances for a more accurate waveform.

The Audeze story

Audeze started in 2008 in a garage (of course!) when its founders came across a revolutionary flexible circuit material developed for NASA. Realizing this could be a great advance in planar magnetic technology, they first started to make pro audio PA speakers, but dropped this project and started making headphones!

Taking this first headphone to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, it was a tremendous hit, and that success launched the company. Hanging on that garage wall was the 2001 Space Odyssey poster, and that inspired the company’s name. The founders wanted a name that had something to do with a “journey through audio,” so Odyssey would be perfect, and that’s how the name Audeze (pronounced “odyssey”) was born.
