About the Headphones
"The LCD-X headphones are at the heart of my recording and mixing work. In a short time, they accompanied me through finishing stereo and Atmos versions for Thomas Bangalter’s Mythologies in Paris, recording an album with violinist Natalia Lomeiko in London, and mixing a tour for Grigory Sokolov in Palma. Their clarity and spatial focus let me trust my ears, stay connected to the music, and make confident decisions anywhere."
