The definitive monitor for isolated professional listening
The Audeze LCD-XC are one of the very rare cases in which closed-back headphones manage to combine total isolation and absolute transparency. Designed for recording studios, mixing, mastering and production in untreated rooms, over time they have become a benchmark for sound engineers, musicians and producers who need a reliable monitor wherever they are. The closed design eliminates external interference and prevents any signal from bleeding into the microphones, while keeping the Audeze sonic philosophy intact: precision, neutrality and soundstage depth.

Planar magnetic technology for total control of the signal
The heart of the LCD-XC is the same 106 mm planar magnetic driver used in the brand's reference open-back models. The Ultra-Thin Uniforce™ diaphragm, paired with the proprietary magnetic structure with N50 neodymium magnets and Fazor™ phase management, guarantees an extremely fast and controlled response even on the most complex transients. The extended frequency response from 10 Hz to 50 kHz, together with distortion below 0.1%, makes it possible to analyse every detail of the mix with precision, while always maintaining a natural, coherent sound free from artificial colouration.
Comfort, versatility and professional integration
Despite their solid construction and high isolation, the Audeze LCD-XC are designed to offer a high level of comfort even during long working sessions. The suspension headband distributes the weight evenly, while the premium earpads reduce fatigue. With an impedance of just 20 ohm and a sensitivity of 100 dB/1mW, they are easy to drive even with compact audio interfaces or mobile setups, while expressing their full potential when paired with quality amplifiers. Compatibility with Audeze's Reveal+ software completes the experience, allowing advanced listening calibration to simulate reference studios wherever you are.
