Key Features
The Audeze LCD-2 Rosewood/Leather Open-Back Headphones is the headphone that started it all. Steeped in history within the industry, the LCD-2 Rosewood faithfully reproduces audio in stunning resolution throughout the frequency range, extending from 10Hz - 50kHz. Expertly engineered and hand-made in the USA using proprietary Planar Magnetic Transducers, magnetic arrays and top-of-the-line Fazor phase management, the LCD-2 has an extremely responsive sound with fast transient detail and immaculate soundstage.
The perfect headphone for audiophiles, mixing and mastering engineers, the LCD-2 provide a revealing sound that effortlessly reproduces every nuance and subtlety within your audio. Ultra-thin, 106mm transducers are married perfectly with expert headphone design to create a listening experience that's comfortable and non-fatiguing even during long producing or listening sessions. Expert sound is paired with a truly stunning hand-made design, using Caribbean Rosewood and lambskin ear pads to create a visual aesthetic that matches the supreme sound quality.
Offering attention to detail everywhere you look, the LCD-2 comes included with a robust economy travel case, allowing you to take your favourite music with you, wherever you go.

Pushing the envelope on what is possible with headphone design, the Audeze LCD-2 Classic shows what it means to be a pioneer within the music industry. Highlighting the technology roots of the company, the LCD-2 Classic employs the patented planar magnetic transducer for exciting and vibrant audio reproduction. Aligned with the planar magnetic transducer is the FazorTM technology, which greatly improves the clarity and focus that's already in a league of its own through the holographic imaging and wave guidelines.
Designed to address the pitfalls of other driver types, the Planar Magnetic transducer produces a pristine, distortion-free sound at any volume level. What becomes problematic for other dynamic driver types is now a memory, the LCD-2's excellent audio performance including the low harmonic distortion is a testament to the clarity and detail you can expect at any level with any musical genre going through your headphones.
Ideal for the music enthusiast, the LCD-2 Classic offers a more forgiving listening experience, serving to accent what is there, rather than reveal every minutia and detail that includes the bad. While the LCD-2 Classic is billed as a listener-friendly headphone, this does not mean it lacks in any areas of superior audio fidelity. Strong and powerful low-end is complemented by a full-bodied and rich midrange. The treble is articulate and detailed without suffering from any excessive 'wet' treble that can so often cause listening fatigue.
Leaning into the idea that consumers would enjoy a premium audio experience with a slight bias in the lows and highs means the tuning of the LCD-2 Classic Open Backs is pleasurable for any genre of music. Anchored by the signature Audeze low-end, and not to say there is simply more low-end than others, but it's the distinct extension, precision and nuance of the low-end that makes the LCD-2 Classic special.
If you're ever in the mood for some ultra-modern electronic music with a thumping sub, you'll feel and hear every note. What sets the LCD-2 Classic Open Back apart from other high-end headphones is the broad and expansive soundstage. Where you may normally find three distinct channels, left, right and centre, the LCD-2 Classic provides one cohesive unit that places sound all around you seamlessly. For intricate and detailed music as you'd find in a large orchestra or busy electronic song, each instrument occupies its own space, free from any overlap or blurring from poor sonic imaging.
Hear your music in a different space with the revolutionary Reveal plugin. With your LCD-2 Classic headphones, you can unlock a myriad of custom preset filters, each of which authentically emulates professional, acoustically treated studios. Ideal for producers, mixing and mastering engineers, this allows you to hear your music through different emulated spaces and setups to hear your music translates. Now, you can accurately make adjustments to your mix or master to ensure the full musical experience is heard by your listeners.
Each Audeze LCD-2 Classic headphone is engineered and crafted by hand in the USA. Once manufactured, they undergo rigorous testing to ensure each headphone lives up to the high-quality control standards set by Audeze. Premium-quality every you look, every headphone ring on the LCD-2 Classic is visually matched, ensuring the glass-reinforced nylon rings create an exclusive and sophisticated aesthetic that matches the unrivalled sound quality.
"The thing that truly sets the LCD2 Classics apart from other headphones in their price range is their extraordinary soundstage." - The Verge
"The clarity is stellar on the Audeze Classic. It belies its price point and its distortion is favourably low throughout the spectrum." - Earphiles.org
"Editor’s Choice award. It’s one of the best models that Audeze have ever made...for under a grand, nothing sounds as good as these" - The Master Switch
