A Benchmark Since 2013 in the LCD Range
Introduced in 2013, the LCD?XC has established itself as the reference closed-back headphones in professional audio. Derived from the DNA of the LCD?X with which it shares speaker architecture, it adds a meticulously tuned closed chamber to offer the same transparency, with the essential isolation needed in the studio, mobile control rooms, or at home. Recent iterations have lightened the overall weight and refined the ergonomics for superior comfort.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The Audeze LCD?XC is aimed at sound engineers, producers, content creators, and audiophiles who demand critical listening in noisy environments. Ideal for
mobile mixing,
booth monitoring, meticulous editing, and recording vocals/instruments without bleed, it ensures reliable translation of your work whether you are in the studio, on tour, or at home. Using it with Audeze Reveal+ can enhance the consistency of your mixing decisions from one location to another.
