Audeze LCD-2 100-L2-1023-00
The 106mm planar magnetic drivers and patented Fazor waveguides produce a spacious, realistic soundstage with ultra-low distortion and a warm, lifelike midrange. Handcrafted Padauk wood rings and plush leather earcups on a suspension headband provide a premium build and comfort for long sessions, despite the 595g weight. These open-back headphones are best for music enthusiasts and studio professionals who prioritize detailed, immersive listening over portability or call quality.
