Justin gets into details about his Audeze collection and how he uses each model

Vespers has some really detailed insight into the sound and use-cases for the LCD-X and LCD-X headphones in this video

"from million-dollar studio to mixing on a laptop in an airplane without losing sound quality."

"So all things being subjective, I advise you to try them out for yourselves. Yes, you can call them a bit pricey but I noticed Audeze has an interest free pay monthly option available on their website so that's also a possibility. In my opinion they deliver exactly what they say they do and the quality is clearly there. I can't imagine many MM-500 buyers regretting their purchase, and they should sell very well. Highly recommended!"

We stopped by at the Audeze stand at NAMM 2022, where we spoke to legendary mix engineer Manny Marroquin about their new signature product, the MM-500 headphones.

"Whenever I put these headphones on, I get a dopamine surge" Says TapeOp of LCD-5"

Adrian nos da su impresión y sus pensamiento del LCD-X en este video

"If your budget allows, I strongly encourage you to audition the Audeze LCD-2 CB’s. These wonderful headphones manage to combine traits from the best of both worlds (closed-back and open-back headphones) into one package, with no obvious compromise cost. These headphones are well-made, attractive, and supremely comfortable. They are equally at home in a recording studio, or as part of a home entertainment system, or as your go-to personal practice rig."

As longtime LCD-X and LCD-4z user, Carlos has a good basis for comparison on the LCD-5.

Ghian has been using LCD-Xs in his work for a long time. He tells about his impression of the LCD-5.

Hannes is a longtime LCD-4 user, and he made this video for us about the LCD-5.

Johann Scheerer of Clouds Hill Recordings talks about listening with his MX4s, and how they help him hear important details.

"I found the LCD-X headphones to be the perfect “final arbiter.” They were useful well after I had finished a mix to my satisfaction on monitor speakers, or when I would later hear the mastered version. I would take a day off, then come back and play it on the LCD-X headphones. If there was something bothering me in the mix or mastering, then I investigated. But usually it was good and the LCD-X headphones were all I ever needed"

"The LCD-1 headphones have been meticulously engineered and feature some of Audeze’s most powerful planar magnetic technology. The 90mm Over-Ear Planar Drivers in the LCD-1 headphones deliver frequency extension from 10Hz up to 50kHz with flawless precision and clarity, helping to deliver the rich, clear sound expected from Audeze headphones."

"The LCD-1’s are a pair of open-back headphones, aimed at studio users, musicians, and audiophiles alike. They include an open circumaural design, which is meant to provide an enhanced transparency and sound stage. Each can includes a 90mm over-ear Planar driver, with something Audeze are calling Ultra-thin Uniforce Diaphragms and Fluxor Magnets.'

"There’s nothing better than a pair of open-backed headphones—so long as you aren’t worried about noise isolation or noise bleed. The Audeze LCD-1 are some of the most reasonably priced open-backed headphones available today, and provide a crisp and clean sound that’s comparable to freestanding speakers"

We sit down with Chris Berens, Audeze's head of customer support and artist relations, as he takes us through the LCD Reference line of headphones. The LCD Reference line features our most neutral drivers, so you can edit, mix, record and produce in confidence anywhere in the world, from studios to bedrooms to volcanoes...

Our Spanish and Portuguese Distributor Sound & Pixel sits down with Dany Richter of El Lado Izquierdo to talk about the LCD-X and how it fits into his work flow. 

"So headphones like the $400 Audeze LCD-1 reference monitors really hit the right emotional notes for me. I know that open-backs have some downsides, but I can’t help but gravitate toward them: I adore the sound signature they generally provide."
