Description
For listeners who want to feel every instrument in its right place, the Audeze LCD-3 delivers reference-grade planar magnetic performance in a handcrafted package. Introduced in 2011 and refined over many years, this open-back headphone pairs a 106 mm ultra-thin diaphragm with a stacked neodymium N50 magnetic array and Audeze's patented FAZOR™ phase-management waveguides to produce a sound that is wide, detailed, and emotionally engaging. The zebrawood earcup rings are hand-matched by grain and colour in the USA, while the ventilated suspension headband and premium earpads provide all-day wearability. At 110 ohms the LCD-3 pairs best with a dedicated headphone amplifier or integrated amp—tube or solid-state—with powerful bass, a natural midrange, and an extended top end that reviewers have described as a thing of beauty. Whether you are tracking symphonic recordings or intimate jazz vocals, the LCD-3 puts you in the room.
