Audeze LCD-2 - Bamboo Composite / Microsuede (Leather Free)

The Audeze LCD-2 is a state-of-the-art planar magnetic headphone with every component engineered with one goal in mind: to recreate sound precisely as the artist intended. The LCD-2 uses Audeze's proprietary thin-film diaphragm housed between a push-pull magnetic structure producing incredibly accurate and detailed sound.

Available in either soft lambskin leather or a leather-free microsuede, the ear pads have been handcrafted to look great and offer the right amount of firmness for a comfortable fit that provides the proper amount of isolation and seal.  Additionally, the sloped design provides a more stable fit while positioning the driver more directly towards your ear to ensure correct imaging and sound signature.

Word on the Street:

“The LCD-2's are a champion of low-level detail ... The mono recordings have such an abundance of depth; they feel like stereo ... I will be using them as my main reference standard against which I'll judge all other headphones.”
