Audez’e Debuts “Reality-1” Planar Magnetic Professional Reference Monitor and Audez'e "LCD-3".

LCD2 Rosewood Price Increase

The Caribbean Rosewood ear cup option offered with our LCD2 headphones is arguably one of the most visual representations of Audeze’s unique and sophisticated approached to handcrafted design. After all, the Caribbean Rosewood LCD2s are what put Audeze on the map.

Unfortunately, due to both the availability of rosewood and the increased production cost of the wood itself, we are forced to raise the amount of the LCD2 Rosewood to a new retail price of $1,145.

While this increase has been a difficult decision for Audeze, it has allowed us to further re-evaluate our manufacturing ideals. As such, we will donate a portion of all future sales of the LCD2 Rosewood to Eden Projects in order to help preserve our precious resources.

Note: While the price of the LCD2 Rosewood has increased the LCD2 Bamboo remains at $995.

Audeze in Playboy

The LCD3 was recently mentioned in Playboy's 'MANTRACK: The Best of Everything.'

Playboy: "Luxury Listen - The most opulent headphones we've ever seen? The Audeze LCD3 with zebrawood earcups, lambskin cushions and 6.17-square-inch planar magnetic drivers that deliver the best audio we've heard from a headphone, they're like a Ferrari for your ears."

Unauthorized Dealers

Due to the nature of the goods sold by unauthorized dealers and their business practices, products sold by unauthorized dealers will not be covered under warranty by Audeze. We are using our best efforts to prohibit these companies from taking advantage of customers. We urge you to use caution when selecting a dealer to make your purchase.

Anime and Fan Art

From time to time we receive emails, fan art for Audeze products. Interestingly enough, when we designed the LCD3 last year, we crafted a small anime friendly manual in comic book style to go with each headphone. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the comic-book idea was scrapped. However, below you can find some drawings from the initial concept. We’d like to thank Votexblast and Louis who created some absolutely stunning images.
