Audeze LCD LCD-MX4
The 106mm planar magnetic drivers and patented Double Fluxor magnet array deliver microscopic detail retrieval, making it a tool for dissecting mixes rather than casual listening. Its lightweight magnesium frame and plush leather earcups provide lasting comfort for extended studio sessions despite the open-back design. This headphone is best for mastering engineers and audio professionals who need to identify the sharpness in transients and the exact texture of vocal recordings.
