Audeze LCD-2

The headphone that launched Audeze to prominence, the LCD-2 has remained a benchmark for warm, musical planar sound since its debut, and remains one of the most beloved headphones in the hobby.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, open-back, planar magnetic. 70 ohm impedance. Handcrafted in California. Made-to-order in limited runs.

Sound Character

Warm, full-bodied, and immersive, the LCD-2 prioritizes musical engagement over clinical analysis. Bass is powerful and textured, midrange is rich and forward, and the presentation pulls you into the recording rather than dissecting it. Not the most analytical in Audeze's lineup, but few headphones at any price are more enjoyable to live with.

Build and Comfort

Wood ear cups grain-matched by hand, spring steel headband, and premium leather or leather-free earpads. At 595g, a quality amplifier and some break-in time reward you with exceptional long-session comfort.

Best For

At-home audiophile listening, especially effective with rock, jazz, soul, and any music that rewards warmth and body over clinical precision.
