Industry-Leading Planar Magnetic Drivers

At the heart of every LCD-4z is Audeze's most powerful double-Fluxor magnetic array, which controls a specialized diaphragm made from our nano-scale film, thinner than a red blood cell! These technical innovations mean LCD-4z is capable of incredibly precise sound reproduction while not requiring a dedicated headphone amplifier. At only 15ohms impedance, LCD-4z is compatible with just about any device with a headphone jack.
