Audeze LCD-X
The 106mm planar magnetic drivers and patented Fazor waveguides deliver class-leading resolution with impressively low distortion across a 10Hz-50kHz range. The lightweight suspension headband and plush, leather-free earcups provide extended comfort during long sessions, despite the 612g build. This headphone is best for audio engineers and mixers who need accurate, speaker-like transparency without requiring a treated room.
