Flat Sound Signature
A Flat sound signature offers an accurate presentation of sounds without adding colour to your music. Simply put, this sound signature presents audio without boosting any frequencies. As a result, it’s the most natural-sounding signature and provides the closest reproduction of how a track was recorded and produced. Due to their accurate sound reproduction, flat sound signature headphones are preferred by Music professionals, Sound Engineers and used in professional studios for mixing and mastering music tracks and are also loved by audiophiles for immersive listening sessions. You can listen to Classical, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Folk & possibly every genre in music.
Ideal for Audiophiles

You can expect them to present a refined listening experience. The audio quality exhibited by these headphones is a beautiful mix of musicality, technical brilliance and high precision.
These headphones deliver a spacious and open soundstage with utmost clarity and detail. Delve into pure sonic bliss with these headphones!
Ideal for
Indoor Use
For Studio & Professionals
As the name implies, anything branded as studio headphones is designed especially for a studio setting with a particular focus on accuracy and transparency for monitoring and mixing.
These headphones present an accurate image of your music than ordinary headphones, allowing you to hear every nuance and aspect of your music. Therefore, having a good set of studio headphones is just as important as any other gear in your studio.
These headphones provide a fresh perspective to that mix you’ve spent hours mastering and recording, essentially giving you another set of ears.
Planar Magnetic Drivers
Planar magnetic drivers combine characteristics of several driver types. They employ magnetic fields akin to dynamic and balanced armature drivers. However, planar magnetic drivers, like electrostatic drivers, use a flat, thin diaphragm in contrast to a coil. The planar drivers are known for their quick transient response.
Replaceable Cables
A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.
Open-Back Design
Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.
However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.
These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.
Needs Amplification
Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.
Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.
To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.

Description
INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW REFINED LCD-X MUSIC CREATOR SPECIAL EDITION PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONE
Audeze began in a garage in Orange County, Ca, like many other high-tech companies. Audeze is the brainchild of Sankar Thiagasamudram & Alexander Rosson and was founded in 2008. It did not take long for the founders to recognise that they had the potential to be one of the most influential companies in the headphone market. Audeze was born as a result of this. Audeze is known for making some of the best planar magnetic headphones. The latest and greatest LCD-X is an add-on to the most revered line-up of planar magnetic headphones from Audeze. The Audeze LCD-X is the gold standard in the professional audio world. It has low distortion, lightning-fast transient response, and accurate frequency response. The advancements in technology you will find in LCD-X make them truly special, and audiophiles and professionals have loved and adopted them. Audeze’s planar magnetic drivers do not suffer from variation in impedance. Because the voice coil is printed directly on the diaphragm, they produce a flat impedance curve. This design ensures no change in resistance regardless of the frequency, offering a boost in control and resolution.
FEATURES 106MM PLANAR TRANSDUCER FUSED WITH FAZOR PHASE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR PRISTINE AUDIO
LCD-X leverages patented Audeze technologies, including Ultra-Thin Uniforce™ diaphragms, Fazor™ waveguides, and powerful neodymium N50 magnets to deliver accurate and detailed sound reproduction. The sophisticated planar magnetic drivers achieve high efficiency with low impedance, such that LCD-X can present great sound from nearly any device with a headphone output. These developments allow audio pros to quickly and accurately complete their mixes. The Audeze LCD-X offers outstanding bass extension, which adds depth and rumble to the sub-bass. The Audeze LCD-X has great mid-range tuning. It is linear throughout, has clear fundamental tones, and has an upper midrange presence. It has fantastic tonality, depth, and layering. Male and female vocals sound precise with body and weight to their presentation. The treble range is pretty good on the Audeze LCD-X. It’s not warm, but it’s not bright either, and overall it’s set at a level that will be comfortable for most listeners. The Audeze LCD-X does extend nicely into the upper treble with good holographic and airy representation, properly representing all the harmonics and overtones in that region.
EXPERIENCE MUSIC LIKE NEVER BEFORE WITH THE OPEN-BACK DESIGN PRESENTING EXCEPTIONAL SOUNDSTAGE AND IMAGING
The Audeze LCD-X has an open-back design that compliments its resolution capabilities and makes your music sound airy and open. It has one of the more spacious and open-sounding presentations. For soundstage width, it’s roughly on par with most open-back headphones and can convey a better sense of distance and precise instrument separation. Additionally, Audeze LCD-X delivers exceptional layering capabilities, with all instrument and vocal lines distinguished, allowing you to experience pure sonic tranquillity. The LCD-X performs at a high level in terms of detail retrieval. Over the whole frequency range, the LCD-X produces a consistent, well-textured image of music. It does convey a good sense of distance and width. The Audeze LCD-X are precise in its left-right channel representations as they excel in projecting directionality of sound which will satisfy most discerning audiophiles, gamers, and studio professionals alike. The Audeze LCD-X have good dynamics with low tones having precise impact and slam, while the upper region reproduces instruments with natural tonal balance like the crunch of the guitar string or the strike of the snare drum.
TRUSTED BY AWARD-WINNING ARTISTS, LCD-X IS AN INDISPENSABLE TOOL FOR AUDIO PROFESSIONALS
The Audeze LCD-X is engineered to suit the requirements of long daily listening sessions under almost any condition. They are world-class monitors for you to have quick referencing on the go. You're ready to start mixing with just a cable cord, laptop, and the Audeze LCD-X. It is an invaluable addition to your arsenal to get an unrivalled mixing experience. The challenges of mixing on headphones are addressed with the Audeze LCD-X and its full-range response. You will be amazed to get an accurate listening experience with the LCD-X. The LCD-X is trusted by award-winning artists and engineers like Brent Burge, Bill Schnee, Iain Cook of Chvrches, Scott Hansen of Tycho, Marc Daniel Nelson, William 'Wheeliemix' Robertson, and Carolina Anton.

The class-leading resolution and impressively low distortion make the LCD-X comparable to high-end speaker systems. When used with Audeze Reveal+ to create an AI-generated map of your hearing, the LCD-X puts you inside renowned studios, letting you mix consistently and efficiently from anywhere. Enjoy the most engaging audio experience with Audeze's highly advanced transducer design.
EXQUISITELY CRAFTED WITH SUSPENSION HEADBAND FOR EVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND OPTIMUM COMFORT AND BUNDLED WITH ACCESSORIES
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. Due to its nearly metal construction, the LCD-X has a substantial, durable feel that, when combined with its expert craftsmanship, really raises the bar. If you favour simple, matte-black aesthetics, you'll appreciate the LCD-black X's metal rings that give it a more professional, industrial appearance. The suspension headband and the better-compressing pads evenly distribute the weight keeping the headphones stable when wearing. The Audeze LCD-X Music Creator Special Edition comes with a single-ended 1/4'' to dual 4-pin mini-XLR cable and a standard LCD travel case to keep your LCD-X protected when you are on the move.

I have this and the LCD-3, as well as the HD800. All are very different. Although I enjoy the LCD-3's sound a lot and it's in some respects (eg handling complex passages with clarity) better than the LCD-X, the LCD-X presents music in quite a different way and can be a more exciting listen. Bass often has more impact, treble more sparkle and the sound is a touch airier than the LCD-3. The LCD-X is still nowhere near the HD800 in terms of imaging, soundstage and sense of detail, but it's a nice half-way point between a relaxed sounding headphone (LCD-3) and a brighter more obviously detailed one (HD800). And they are leagues ahead of the EL-8 (open back) that they replaced.
Simply the best piece of gear I have bought in the last 3 years. Really reveals all the flaws in your productions! Dealing with SO much detail can move your mixing focus from macro to micro, but once you spend time with these headphones and pair it with something like Reference 4 from Sonarworks - your mixes will translate like never before! Essentially a near perfect mix room in your backpack!
Though I have been tripping on & discovering new music almost all my life, I entered the world of “hi-end Headphone Audio” via the Audeze Sine 3+ years ago. Pairied with the Chord Mojo it was a new dimension of music experience for me. I had tasted blood and kept looking for the next “audio high”.
Because I was back into rediscovering Modern Jazz (especially ECM) combined with the Aha of MQA (Tidal Masters) with my first Open Back headphones - the Sennheiser HD650 2 years ago. I loved this new high. Then things changed again. Basically went deep into a genre I had never explored before. Techno. Not EDM. Not House. I was hooked. (It’s been 18 months since ) and I realized I needed a new Audio equipment partner on this fascinating journey. My gear didn’t seem to cut it and kept looking out. Finally I managed to head to HPZ for a product demo of the LCD-X which was recommended by Salim. I had gone to choose between some iEMS basis my online research but on listening to the Xs everything changed. It “introduced” me to Techno in ways I could not imagine. Deep Sharp clear Bass. Everything well arranged giving me the opportunity to enjoy tracks I had heard many times in whole new ways. I am glad I bit the bullet and ordered them. The biggest bonus : ALL other fav genres came to life. Jazz, Avant Garde Jazz, DeutscheRap, Dancehall, Roots Rock Reggae, Grime, Hip Hop, AfroHouse. Classic Rock, Rock. Wow. I normally am not into music with vocals but I started loving them with these (eg Jazz). Reality check :
Just to test out the online reviews which said it’s Achille’s heel was Heavy Metal - especially the attacking Guitar sections. I too noticed that this was not the strength of these cans. But I was more than happy that it transformed my Metallica, GNR. So I got far far more than I asked for. As I “burn” through these (it’s been a week ) I am convinced that I have found my new partner & even my initial apprehension of their size and weight are non issues !
Thanks a ton for sharing your elaborate review with us.
To start with, the cans are huge and comfortably clasped my ears without causing any discomfort for the half an hour listening I subjected them to. A look at the cans and you know where they belong to...a sound studio!
The company has surely made them for indoor use and this is reiterated by the sheer quality of cables, jacks and oh boy, the size of each. The jacks are especially made of metal and give a heavy feel to the headphone, something you wouldn't want to lug around. In my opinion, they are meant to showcase that they are for professional use and nothing less. The cans are planar which means they move the air around your ears and are open back. A person sitting beside you will definitely enjoy the passive music experience, though they are experiencing only some 100 notches down perhaps.
The quality of segment they belong to is an uncharted territory to most of us Indians due to lack of availability of high end audio recording, use of pirated music encoded in MP3s, etc. These headphones are meant to be used with avant grade lossless music and gear and they do their job brilliantly. I would describe my bass experience as a woofer placed near my ear that was displacing real air to produce lowest of base the moment I bumped it up on the E17K. Needless to say, versatility is a virtue you would expect by default from a professional grade headphone and they deliver. For the mids and highs, they reproduced music well from the limited listening experience I had with them.
If you are on the move, or you don't have a treated room then go with these. These can be your best & most familiar critical listening setup anywhere you go! (Better than good speakers in a partially treated room). Even if you have the funds to get more expensive headphones like LCD-MX4 / LCD-4z etc, these are a much more practical choice for an audio professional.
One slight issue with Headphonezone though is that.. Their call center team is hard to get connected to, and has a laid back approach while dealing with customers. But the prompt & knowledgeable owner makes up for it if you can visit their office.
P.S. Audeze LCD-X is better than the Focal Clear Pro or Sennheiser HD800s.. and far better when used with Audeze's EQ correction software on linear phase!
So glad to know that you love them. We really appreciate your review, we hope it will help other potential customers to make an informed decision.
The Audeze LCD-X hits the sweet spot in terms of sound quality and price bracket.
It is easy to drive, delivers some amazing sound, good bass without too much brightness in the highs ( but delivers some neat sparkle if your music has it).
Planars have a unique sound signature but this model is considered a bit neutral out of the Audeze lot.
It handles...no enhances almost any genre you throw at it.
A bit heavy on the head than most headphones but within minutes you get lost in the sound it transmits to the ears and stop noticing the weight.
If you are looking for planars but not sure whether you would love their sound signature, the Audeze LCD-X is a safe bet.
Highly recommended.
Easily the best headphones for mixing and mastering .I have always been skeptical about headphones for mixing or mastering but these are defintely a game changer .I won't say it can completely remove speakers from the equation
But if u are looking for a professional pair of headphones as a good combo with your Main Monitors these are the best ,look no further ! Im pairing it with the Cranesong Solaris DAC and its a match made in heaven:)
Cheers
