The Audeze LCD-3 Open-back Headphones, released in late 2011, are a testament to Audeze’s planar magnetic excellence.

They feature large 106mm planar magnetic drivers with ultra-thin diaphragms and efficient magnet arrays, incorporating Fazor technology (in later revisions) for enhanced clarity and imaging. Renowned for their luxuriously spacious and musical sound signature, the LCD-3 delivers powerful, controlled bass, a rich midrange, and extended, articulate highs.

Its open-back design creates a wide, natural soundstage, ideal for critical listening. Crafted with hand-selected Zebrano wood earcups and a comfortable steel and leather suspension headband, these headphones are built for extended listening sessions. With a 110 Ohm impedance and 101dB/1mW sensitivity, they benefit from a high-quality amplifier. The LCD-3 remains a highly respected choice for audiophiles seeking an immersive, high-resolution, and engaging sonic experience.

Sound that Makes You Feel
Find yourself emotionally connected to the music as LCD-3 wraps you in a rich, vibrant sound with real-world scale and authority. The natural timbre and deep soundstage reveal music in a very ambient way with exciting transparency and detail.

Advancing Planar Technology
LCD-3 features a unique 110-ohm planar driver design with a powerful stacked magnetic structure to create a pleasing high resolution sound. LCD-3 sounds best when paired with a high-quality headphone or integrated amplifier, either vacuum-tube or solid-state.

LCD-3 is carefully handcrafted by skilled Audeze craftspeople, with luxurious zebrawood rings, precisely matched by grain and color, and subtle gold highlights for a timeless elegance. The soft, supple premium earpads cradle your head in plush comfort for hours of effortless listening.
