Audeze LCD-1 brings planar sound in a travel-friendly package
Planar magnetic headphones have generally been larger and heavier, thanks to the large magnets that they typically employ. Not with the LCD-1. Audeze says these are the lightest and most compact planar magnetic reference headphones they’ve ever created, and they come with a foldable design for easier traveling.
The LCD-1 has an open, circumaural design for transparent, spacious imaging. It uses Ultra-thin Uniforce diaphragms and Fluxor Magnets to provide powerful sound and great accuracy to go with the wide dynamic range from the 90mm planar magnetic drivers.
The headphones come with a Nylon carrying case for transport, a 3.5mm premium braided cable for tangle-free connection, and a 1/4-inch adapter.
