Audeze LCD-XC
Closed-back over-ear reference planar magnetic for critical monitoring
Shut out the outside world
The LCD-XC uses the same drivers and core construction as the LCD-X, delivering a similar level of detail and transparency. Its closed-back design adds isolation, so you can focus as deeply as you need without distractions. Paired with Audeze Reveal+, which creates an AI-generated version of your own hearing, the LCD-XC places you in renowned studios—so you can mix consistently and efficiently from anywhere, regardless of background noise.
Accuracy, transparency, and efficiency
The LCD-XC leverages patented Audeze technologies such as ultra-thin Uniforce™ diaphragms, Fazor™ waveguides, and powerful neodymium magnets to deliver an extremely precise, highly detailed sound. Its advanced planar magnetic drivers achieve high efficiency at low impedance, so the LCD-XC can sound great from virtually any device with a headphone output. These innovations help audio professionals shape mixes efficiently across a wide range of environments.
Designed for comfort
Over the years, Audeze has refined the LCD-XC, reducing weight and improving comfort. It features a suspension headband for even weight distribution and generously padded premium earpads for a secure fit. The neutral tuning and low distortion help prevent fatigue—so late-night sessions never have to end.

Measurements
Frequency response
What does this mean?
The line marked as target is something you could call the “ideal” curve: a target response derived from research by the Harman group, exploring what kind of headphone tuning tends to be preferred by a broad range of listeners – regardless of age or demographics. This is often referred to as the Harman Target.
From left to right you see sub-bass, bass, mids, and then the curve tilts upward where treble begins. That part of the spectrum is naturally amplified by the shape of the human ear.
Sub-bass sits slightly below the target, the bass is slightly elevated. The lower mids are neutral, the presence region around 3 kHz sits slightly above the target. The treble follows the target, above 10 kHz there is a little extra air. Left and right channels track each other closely, a sign of careful driver matching.
