KEN F. (5/5)

Comfort and sound beyond belief

Tyler D. (5/5)

Worth the money

"Love the wooden rings, build quality is outstanding as I knew it would be but I'm over the moon in love with the sound. Really great job on this one and yeah it's been around for a long time, since the beginning, because they sound out of this world good."

Dan H. (5/5)

The LCD-2 are my go-to choice. .

"I debated on whether or not to buy these because the reviews I had seen were about 50/50. I decided to give them a try. Worse case scenario I don't like them and I'd return them. Well, I have no regrets on my purchase. I have several headphones from Focal, Hifiman, Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica and others and I also have a few IEMs. I have to say that the Audeze LCD-2 are my go-to choice."

"Audeze LCD-2 Review I'm absolutely thrilled with the Audeze LCD-2! The sound is simply superb, exceeding all my expectations. These headphones deliver an incredibly rich, detailed, and immersive audio experience that truly brings music to life."

Javid M. (5/5)

Great reference headphones

"Pro: Audiophile sound in all aspects, I use AK khan player and it drives the LCD 2 easily, perfect combo for those who seek portable solution. The LCD 2 is currently my reference head phones. Cons: A bit heavy."

JB (5/5)

A classic hi-end headphone

"I've had my LCD-2's for about 3 years now - love the detailed, yet smooth sound. Beautifully made, they feel much more like a hi-end product, than other brands that cost much more. My favorite part is that if you want to customize your sound, they take EQ really well."

NM (5/5)

I'm a proud owner of a LCD-3, and yet...

"I don't NEED another pair. That price is surprisingly good for such boutique headphones."

PN (5/5)

LCD-2 purchased 2024

"Premium quality in build and performance. Yes, they are a bit heavier than some headphones, but its worth it. The bass extension experience has to be heard to understand. The detail and clarity from lows to mids to highs as well. Very happy with these and would definitely recommend!"
