Audeze LCD-1 Headphones

Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones • 90mm Drivers • Fluxor Magnets • Uniforce Diaphragms • Fazor Waveguides • 16Ω Impedance • 99dB Sensitivity • Foldable 250g Design

Lightweight Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones for Critical Listening

The Audeze LCD-1 Headphones bring core technologies from Audeze’s larger LCD models into a compact, lightweight and foldable open-back design. Their 90mm planar magnetic drivers use single-sided Fluxor magnet arrays, ultra-thin Uniforce diaphragms and Fazor waveguides to deliver low distortion, wide frequency extension and precise stereo imaging for audiophile listening, mixing and monitoring.

At only 250 grams, the LCD-1 was designed to be significantly more portable than traditional full-size planar magnetic headphones. Memory-foam ear pads and headband cushioning support long listening sessions, while the folding earcups and included travel case make the LCD-1 practical for engineers, musicians and enthusiasts who want reference-oriented planar performance both at home and away.

Highlights & Benefits

  • 90mm Planar Magnetic Drivers — Large over-ear planar transducers deliver fast transient response, broad frequency extension and low distortion.
  • Open-Back Circumaural Design — Creates a spacious soundstage with natural stereo imaging suited to critical listening and mixing applications.
  • Fluxor & Uniforce Technology — Audeze’s single-sided Fluxor magnet array and ultra-thin Uniforce diaphragm work together for efficient, controlled diaphragm movement.
  • Lightweight 250g Construction — Exceptionally low weight for a full-size planar magnetic headphone helps reduce fatigue during extended listening sessions.
  • Foldable Travel-Friendly Design — Folding earcups, reversible cable connectors and an included zippered travel case make the LCD-1 easy to transport.

Technology & Design

Single-Sided Fluxor Magnet Array — Audeze’s Fluxor magnetic structure concentrates magnetic force across the diaphragm while helping reduce weight compared with heavier double-sided planar designs.

Ultra-Thin Uniforce Diaphragm — The conductive voice-coil pattern is engineered to distribute force evenly across the diaphragm, helping minimize breakup and distortion during complex musical passages.

Fazor Phase Management — Fazor waveguides help manage acoustic wave propagation from the planar driver, supporting clearer imaging and smoother frequency response.

Reversible Cable Architecture — The supplied dual-entry cable uses reversible headphone connectors, allowing correct left/right channel routing regardless of which connector is plugged into either earcup.

FAQ — Audeze LCD-1

Are the Audeze LCD-1 headphones open-back?

Yes. The LCD-1 uses an open-back, over-ear circumaural design. This supports a more spacious and natural presentation, but it also means the headphones provide little isolation and allow sound to leak in and out.

Do the LCD-1 headphones require a powerful headphone amplifier?

The LCD-1 has a low 16-ohm impedance and 99dB/1mW sensitivity, making it easier to drive than many larger planar magnetic headphones. A quality headphone amplifier can still provide additional headroom and control.

How much do the LCD-1 headphones weigh?

Audeze specifies a weight of just 250 grams, making the LCD-1 one of the lightest full-size planar magnetic models Audeze has produced.

Is the Audeze LCD-1 still a current model?

No. Audeze currently classifies the LCD-1 as a legacy product and states that it is no longer available for sale through Audeze. This listing reflects the original factory specifications and documented features.
