Audeze LCD-2 Padauk with Burson Playmate 3 Amplifier

Handcrafted Excellence

Audeze changed the headphone world forever in 2009 with the LCD-2, a planar magnetic headphone like none before it. LCD-2 introduced the world to the clear, natural, spacious sound that quickly became synonymous with Audeze. 

Get Up Close to the Music
From Audeze's very beginning onward, LCD-2's vibrant and physical sound connects listeners closely with their favourite artists. The midrange tone is warm and lifelike, and the legendary deep and powerful bass lets you feel the pulse of the music. Fine details are presented effortlessly and smoothly.

Advancing Planar Technology
Featuring a unique dual-sided staggered magnetic array, LCD-2's planar drivers give music the space to breathe and feel real. Upgraded with our patented Fazor waveguides, today's LCD-2 delivers precision and intimacy in every listening session.
