Enjoy premium sound reproduction with the leather-free Audeze LCD-X Headphones, a pair of high-performance reference planar magnetic headphones, designed for professional mixing, mastering, and reference level personal Hi-Fi listening when connected to a low-powered external headphones amplifier or portable device.

The headphones are sensitive enough to be driven by portable music players such as iPods, iPhones, and other smartphones. Instead of utilizing traditional dynamic cone drivers, the headphones implement a neodymium planar magnetic transducer design to deliver a frequency response of 10 to 50 kHz with a THD of less than 1%, an impedance of 20 ohms, an efficiency of 103 dB per 1mW, and a total output SPL of over 130 dB when driven by 5W. The headphone earcups are made of anodized aluminum with black open-cell foam-covered egg-based protein leather-free earpads. The Audeze LCD-X are handmade in the USA and include a braided OCC copper 4-pin XLR combo cable with single-ended 1/4" adapter, and a standard LCD travel case.

The class-leading resolution and impressively low distortion makes the LCD-X comparable to high end speaker systems, without requiring large, expensive acoustic room treatments. When used with Audeze Reveal+ to create an AI-generated map of your own hearing, the LCD-X puts you inside renowned studios, letting you mix consistently and efficiently from anywhere.

LCD-X leverages patented Audeze technologies, including Ultra-Thin Uniforce diaphragms, Fazor waveguides, and powerful neodymium magnets to deliver extremely accurate and detailed sound. The sophisticated planar magnetic drivers achieve high efficiency with low impedance, such that LCD-X can deliver great sound from nearly any device with a headphone output. Together, these innovations enable audio professionals to efficiently get their mix done right in a variety of settings.

Audeze has improved the LCD-X over the years, lowering the weight and increasing comfort. It features a suspension headband for even weight distribution, and highly-cushioned premium earpads for support. The neutral tuning and low distortion prevent listening fatigue, so those late-night sessions never have to end.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this have a remote control

A: No, this does include nor have a remote control as an accessory option.

Q: 2. Is this the 2021 version of the headphones Audeze LCD-X Creator Package?

A: Yes, the Audeze LCD-X Planar Magnetic Headphones Creator Package was released in 2021.

Q: 3. Does it fit a Leica M5?

A: The Zeiss Planar is a typical M-mount lens. It does not protrude into the camera body, so it should not interfere with the light meter mechanism of the Leica M5.

Q: 4. Does package include a lens hood?

A: No, the ZEISS Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZM Lens does not come with a lens hood. This lens uses the ZEISS Lens Hood for 35mm and 50mm ZM Rangefinder Lenses, BH #ZELS35 (https://bhpho.to/3uXzlIA).

Q: 5. Whats the difference between this lens and Zeiss 50mm f/2 ZM mount one? Only 1/3 stop aperture difference?

A: We believe you are asking the difference between this lens and the Zeiss Normal 50mm f/1.5 C Sonnar T* ZM Manual Focus Lens B&H # ZE5015B. The only difference would be the approximate 3/4 of a stop more light the f/1.5 lens brings in. To get that additional light in, bigger pieces of incredibly precise pieces of glass must be mounted to larger, also incredibly precise, pieces of metal in order to do so. As someone who has on many an occasion wanted every photon possible, I would gladly pay the $401 difference. In Zeiss land, $401 is pocket change and well worth it if you need it.

Q: 6. Can this lens work with Leica SL2-S attached with M to L mount adapter?

A: Yes, the lens is M mount and the body is L mount. Best adapter would be this one. Leica M-Adapter L (Black) BH #LEMATB • MFR #18771 https://bhpho.to/2UZlbs7

Q: 7. What is the serial number?

A: B&H does not provide serial numbers on items before purchase.

Q: 8. Can it be used for Canon RF mounts - and if yes, do all functions fully translate?

A: You'll need a Leica M-mount to RF-adapter to use it on an R-series camera. This lens has no electronic functionality, so there are not really any functions that require "translating" per se, but you will have to set your camera up to shoot "without a lens" as the R-series cameras will not realize there is a lens mount and won't fire without that feature enabled.

Q: 9. has anyone tried this lens on a sony a7 W/adapter? wanting to know first hand if its pairs well that sensor. thanks alex

A: This lens is very sharp and has been used on my Sony Nex cameras including a7 and it is noted by many customers as being great together.A good adapter is also recommended, such as this one, a href= http://bhpho.to/1mbVh9m. target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1mbVh9m./aAnd this is a link for all of the adapters we carry, a href= http://bhpho.to/1D6RMbt. target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1D6RMbt./a

Q: 10. Can this be wall mounted?

A: Yes. This would be wall mountable with VESA 100 x 100 mm

[Open-Back] Wasn't sure I was going to keep them but can't help myself. They do require some EQ but after EQ they are absolutely beautiful. A pretty rare combination of detail and deep impactful bass (try listening to Massive Attack on these). I'm using them with Qudelix 5K and it's definitely enough to drive them - they are pretty efficient. Heavy yes but comfortable and you get used to the weight. The weight adds to the overall feeling of these headphones sounding full and warm with deep impactful bass.

[5000 mW] I own several quality headphones. THE BETTER REVIEWERS ALWAYS COMPARE THE AUDEZE LCD-X to every headphone they review. So I bit the bullet and bought them from reliable B&H.
And I can plug them into my laptop. Unbelievable quality.I really enjoy these.

[20 Ohms] Great imaging and extended bass response. Headphones I can trust to mix on, and I’m aLao enjoying listening to my favorite tracks again and hearing details I had never noticed.

[6.675 lb] Use these every day and they are comfortable (I sometimes wear them for 6-8 hours) and the sound is simply astounding. Forget Bose, forget Beats, forget Master And Dynamic ,forget B&O, forget Sennheiser... this is where it is at if you want the best. Will run from your portable device or will be even better with a nice head amp. Best I have heard and I have had some big money headphone setups!

[1x 1/4" TRS] Amazing clarity and texture, and easy to drive. Running it off a astonishingly capable Hiby R5S with an 8 wire copper Forzaworks cable and it sound fantastic. Need to burn in your planers for 200-250 hours before they sound there best.

[1x 1/4" TRS] I got these for personal use and love them so far. They have a fairly neutral sound signature with a slightly warm emphasis and a dip in the highs. This is exactly what I'm into, I don't feel the need to EQ these like many other reviewers seem to. The bass feels very strong and well controlled without being overpowering. Bass heavy songs still sound very bassy, despite the overall neutral sound. As someone who is pretty sensitive to treble and bass, I don't find these fatiguing to listen to for long periods. The first potential drawback I can see with is the weight. These are the heaviest headphones I've personally ever owned, which is due to the all metal construction and also I believe the magnets themselves in planar magnetic headphones are often pretty hefty. I still find these very comfortable to wear for long periods though, the earpads and head strap are great. Another possible drawback is the soundstage: it's ok, but I'd say these are not the headphones to get if super wide soundstage is a high priority. If, for example, positional audio in games is very important to you, these just aren't going to compete with something like the HD800. Overall though, I'm really happy with these for $1200 and plan on using these as my primary headphones for the foreseeable future.

[Stereo] Before buying these, I had the opportunity to listen to them, other Audeze headphones, and some high-end headphones at the B&H store on 9th Ave. I strongly recommend doing this if you can. The sales assistant was a pleasure, a man who enthusiastically enjoyed his work, as he led me through a educational tour of headphones from $1K to +$3K.  He convinced me once and for all of the advantages of open back headphones, which is not what I was initially going to buy.

These headphones are a delight, and well worth their price. Bass is thumping, clear, crisp, and deep, vocals are precise, rounded, and well defined, the highs are pinpoints beautifully separated, without ringing, sibilence, hissing, or clashing.  The sound stage is perfect, wide, but not artificially too wide.  Compared to the Audio Technica M50x, these headphone are as revealing, but more musical.  There is a limit to how long I can listen to the M50x. So far I havent found a limit with these.

Like the M50, the  LCD-X requires a good source, because youre going to hear everything thats there, as well as everything that isnt.  I am using a Hiby R6 to listen to MP3s and .WAV files, and a Roland R7 to listen to some orchestral works recorded in Hi Res. with excellent results.



One complaint, despite what is advertised, these headphones do not come with a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter.  Make sure to order one at the same time.
