ABOUT AUDEZE

LCD2 Closed back



Audeze started in 2008 in a garage (of course!) when its founders came across a revolutionary flexible circuit material developed for NASA. Realizing this could be a great advance in planar magnetic technology, they first started to make pro audio PA speakers, but dropped this project and started making headphones – the LCD-1.

Taking this first headphone to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, it was a tremendous hit, and that success launched the company. Hanging on that garage wall was the 2001 Space Odyssey poster, and that inspired the company’s name. The founders wanted a name that had something to do with a “journey through audio,” so Odyssey would be perfect, and that’s how the name Audeze (pronounced “odyssey”) was born.

AUDEZE'S PLANAR MAGNETIC TECHNOLOGY

Tech image of headphone

Acoustically engineered for accuracy

Audeze’s innovative planar magnetic technology delivers clear and accurate sound that reveals everything on the recording.

Diaphragms thinner than a human hair

We use space-age materials in an ultra thin diaphragm four times larger than typical headphones for fast response times, dramatically reduced distortion, higher resolution and improved imaging.

Near zero distortion

Double-sided magnet arrays delivers a uniform driving force across the entire diaphragm for near zero distortion.

    Great Sound
    Some reviews said these are big and heavy, I took a shot and bought them and I don’t find that at all , nice big cushiony pads , I listen for an hour or two and don’t feel them at all, as far as sound goes, I don’t know all the audiophile speak, but these sound awesome, I’ve had some pricey headphones, and these blow them away, a lot of detail in the soundI would definitely recommend theseEnjoy

    Unreal sound quality. I’ve been through many a headphone and still use (depending on the situation) higher end headphones. The level of clarity, musicality and spaciousness of these cans never cease to amaze me. I could listen all day! Paired with the right gear they will surely take your listening to another level. However I have to say in all truth the lack of sound isolation may throw you off if that’s important to you. They sit somewhere between semi- open and closed in this arena. They are heavy and quite massive but also very comfortable. I run them balanced and non balanced and sound great either way. Balanced adds a tad more to the low end frequencies and further reduces distortion but also can take from overall musicality. Audeze does it right when it comes to headphones and the LCD-2C’s are no exception. Pricey, but pretty sure I’ve already got my money’s worth from just 3 months of musical bliss. My kids love them too as you can tell...

    Reviewed in France on August 9, 2019
    Fan d'ortho et déjà possesseur d'un Hifiman HE-500 je recherchais un casque complémentaire, à la fois en fermé pour les écoutes tardives sans déranger la petite famille et orienté davantage "laid back" pour les genres pour lesquels le HE-500 manque de "corps" (même si le Hifiman est un si grand casque qu'il sait quand même se montrer plaisant en toute circonstance).
    Le LCD 2-C Closed Back répond parfaitement à mes attentes. Je connaissais le son Audeze via un la toute première version du LCD 2 utilisé pendant 3 ans. Je retrouve là une grande partie de ce qui m'avait tant plu à l'époque, mais je remarque aussi que la signature a évolué. On peut dire qu'elle a mûri, elle est moins mate, plus sérieuse dans sa présentation qui est bien plus équilibrée. Les aigus sont notamment ravageurs car très maîtrisés, on a à la fois
    une extension splendide sans jamais d’agressivité ou de sécheresse. Ça respire, c'est très chantant et détaillé autour de la frontière entre haut-medium et bas-aigu, beaucoup de voix féminines incroyables !
    Il subsiste néammoins le caractère Audeze qui continue de se construire autour d'une très grande linéarité entre basses et mediums d'où un son plein et chaleureux. Mais je me répète : soit Audeze a évolué soit ce casque est une exception puisque je n'ai pas testé d'autres modèles, mais ce closed back est bien plus équilibré, neutre, que le 1er LCD 2.

    Bref, je ne vois pas trop comment ceux qui auront une approche similaire à la mienne, à savoir de réserver ce casque aux musiques un peu plus "fun" pop, rock, indies, électro, jazz ou tout ça mélangé, pourront être déçus. Le prix est conséquent et pour tout dire bien trop élevé comme 99% de l'offre hifi, mais ceux qui vienne d'un Sine ou d'un PM-2 ressentiront sans problème le gap. Je serais évidemment plus réservé pour ceux qui recherche la finesse et l'élégance nécessaire aux orchestrations, musiques acoustiques ou musiques de chambres. En fermé le Mrs Speakers Aeon Flow se révélera un choix sans doute plus judicieux.

    Sinon le casque isole suffisamment pour se faire plaisir sans déranger femmes et enfants, l'ouverture de la scène sonore est dans la moyenne des bons casques fermés, sans plus, la profondeur elle est excellente, et le port... légèrement meilleur que le 1er LCD 2, c'est à dire pas brillante car le casque est lourd mais le maintien bien étudié, aucune pression particulière, on ne ressent pas le besoin de "détendre" l'arceau ou de changer les pads. Je commence à sentir le poids du casque au point d'être gêné au bout de deux heures d'écoutes, ça reste passable.

    Bref, un casque dans la lignée de ce que sait faire Audeze, avec une pointe supplémentaire de neutralité bienvenue. Les bassheads n'y trouveront pas leurs comptes, pas plus que les esthètes avides de raffinements. Mais ceux qui comme moi dévorent les meilleures nouveautés pop, rock, électros, folks, metal et autres joyeusetés indies d'Any Decent Music seront aux anges. Réfléchissez bien avant d'acheter !
