What Buyers Say
Audeze LCD-XC 100-XC-1016-00
82 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews
The Audeze LCD-XC is a high-end closed-back planar magnetic headphone that delivers exceptional clarity and detail, especially after EQ adjustment and a brief burn-in period. Users praise its low distortion, powerful bass, and wide soundstage, but note it requires a powerful amplifier and is very heavy. While some find it bright or fatiguing out of the box, most agree that with proper EQ it becomes an end-game headphone that outperforms competitors like the HD600.
Pros
- Exceptional clarity and detail
- Low distortion allows heavy EQ
- Powerful and impactful bass
- Wide soundstage for closed-back
- Comfortable for large heads and glasses
Cons
- Very heavy weight
- Requires powerful amplifier
- Bright out of the box
- Needs EQ for optimal sound
- Expensive with additional amp cost
