Audeze LCD-4 Over-the-Ear Headphones Reviewed

 

Audeze is a California-based designer and manufacturer of headphones, microphones, and amplifiers since 2008. The LCD-4 ($3,995) is the flagship headphone employing planar magnetic technology. Planar magnetic transducers suspend a flat, lightweight...

The LCD-4 offers smoothness and accuracy. This is faithful reproduction, which is best for rock-and-roll and denser tracks ; This headphone is extremely comfortable. Listening sessions can go on for a long time with the LCD-4 ; The look, feel, fit, and...

The LCD-4 is not best choice for every genre: transitions from quiet to crescendo are a little reserved and less impactful than competitors ; The soundstage is narrower and less dimensional--which, again, is not always a bad thing and, in fact, is...

Audeze LCD-4 Headphone Review

 

Performance Build Quality Comfort Value

The uber headphone field is getting mighty crowded—we have the Abyss AB-1266 ($5,495), Hifiman HE1000 ($2,999), Stax SR 009 ($3,999), Sennheiser Orpheus ($55,000!)—and now we have Audeze’s latest, the LCD-4 ($3,995). Talk about sticker shock! But let’s...

Audeze LCD-4

 

Audeze (pronounced "odyssey") is an American company that's fast forging a name for itself with a rapidly expanding range of high-end headphones that use planar magnetic drivers. And at the very top of Audeze's audio tree are the LCD-4.

In so many ways, the Audeze LCD-4 are the finest headphones that money can buy. Only a slightly recessed upper mid-range lets them down.

A cold night of flagships: Audeze LCD-4 the warm blanket

 

"In a cold world of flagships, the LCD-4 gives me the warmth I have been asking for." -Probably someone (photography by Regan Hulvey) I think today is a great day to love headphones. I think today is an awesome day to sit back and enjoy one of the many...

Instrument separation that can't keep me separated • A sound signature that doesn't know the definition of fatigue • Alluring voice reproduction

Some might find their weight a little heavy • Not exciting, extremely laid back • Slight confusion in the treble area • Price

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

One of the best sounding headphones on the planet

 

Introduction It has been a little over ten years since I listened to Rust In Peace in its entirety through Sennheiser's much coveted Orpheus system. And since then, I have been spending the better part of the last decade trying to recapture that sound....

Unbelievable detail and tonal accuracy, the midrange is a bona fide controlled substance, accurate and extremely deep bass, luxurious craftmanship

Price, slightly recessed treble compared to the rest of its response

The smoothest ever.

 

I was very excited to try the LCD-4 after hearing about the improvements to the sound Audeze has made and reports that it is the best of the line yet. Comfort: The headband is great and clamp-free for those that despise clamp. However the cups are...

Liquid smooth and grain free. Zero clamping force

Headbanging is impossible
