Audeze LCD-X Planar magnetic headphones

A high standard for headphone sound Few headphones are as universally raved-about as Audeze's magnificent planar magnetic models. If you're looking for some of the finest headphones available anywhere, the LCD-X is a good place to start. In the wake of their successful LCD-2 and LCD-3 headphones, Audeze set out to create a high-end headphone that doesn't require powerful amplification. They developed a new transducer which is thinner, lighter, and more efficiently driven than those previous versions. The result can be heard in the LCD-X's easy responsiveness, smooth sound across its extended frequency range, and its massive three-dimensional soundstage. Please note: These large, solid headphones weigh in at over a pound and are built for a high level of performance rather than portability. Audeze's planar magnetic technology offers lifelike sound Audeze has been a leader in developing and improving planar magnetic technology in headphones. Their drivers are known for accuracy and extended frequency response. Unlike the dynamic drivers found in most headphones, planar magnetic drivers rely on a thin diaphragm with a large surface area to generate sound. The circuit is etched across the entire surface of an ultra-thin diaphragm, which is suspended between two large magnets. The LCD-X headphones use a powerful and uniform magnetic field, which results in extremely low distortion even at high volume. When the circuit receives an audio signal, it interacts with the magnetic field, thus causing the diaphragm to move back and forth. The end result is breathtakingly lifelike and spacious sound. Quality cables ensure accurate signal transmission The LCD-X comes with a high-quality headphone cable with standard 1/4" plug. It features 4-pin mini XLR connectors for each earcup for a secure connection. While the LCD-X can be driven by a mobile device, a headphone amplifier will ensure you get the best sound quality from these impressive headphones. Exquisite craftsmanship Th
