The LCD-2 was the very first headphone sold by Audeze, and helped lead it to the coveted position as the world’s leading manufacturer of planar magnetic headphones. Although it’s seen improvements over the years, the LCD-2 retains the iconic warmth and tonal balance that have made it a customer favorite since its original release. If you’re looking for a high-end headphone for at-home listening that exemplifies the Audeze experience and tradition, look no further than the LCD-2.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most forgiving of the LCD headphones, the LCD Origins series offers an engaging musical experience that features powerful bass and a rich midrange. Connect to the music as though you're in the room with the musicians. Speed, immediacy, and dynamic impact are the trademarks of the Audeze house sound, and the headphone that started it all for Audeze has these traits in spades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LCD-2’s sound signature is classic Audeze through and through—linear and transparent, but with a unique hint of warmth and midrange density, and is apparently still the favorite of founder Sankar Thiagasamudram. Since the beginning of Audeze over 10 years ago, the LCD-2 has been priced at $995, and that price has held, making this a phenomenal value. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf all the Audeze headphones, we think this one has the greatest liquidity, smoothness, and density packed in for the asking price. It’s hard to state just exactly how much value is packed into the planar magnetic drivers on this headphone. Add in the fact that at 70 Ohms it will make a great pairing with Feliks OTL amplifiers and other tube gear, and this is a hard headphone to resist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended amplifier pairings include the Feliks Echo and Elise, as well as the Pathos Aurium. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudeze headphones are engineered and handcrafted in the USA to exacting quality standards. The beautiful wood rings are precisely matched by grain and color for a sophisticated look to match Audeze's premium audio quality. The real wood rings are hand-crafted right here in Southern California, and fit and finish is of the highest order. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOver-ear, open-back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Planar magnetic with proprietary Neodymium N50 magnet array\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhase Management:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fazor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiaphragm Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultra-thin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransducer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Power Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5 W RMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;130 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz to 50 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 Ohms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity (1 mW at Drum Reference Point):\u003c\/strong\u003e 101 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Power Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;100 mW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Power Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;250 mW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 595 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audeze","offers":[{"title":"Leather","offer_id":41182611767480,"sku":"100-L2-1022-00","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Leather-free","offer_id":41182611800248,"sku":"100-L2-1022-01","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/LCD-2RosewoodonWhite.jpg?v=1741630682","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/audeze-lcd-2-planar-magnetic-headphones","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
