Audeze - LCD3
High-performance planar magnetic headphones
The Audeze flagship headphone has literally been called the best in the world. At the pinnacle of the LCD Collection, the Audeze LCD-3 delivers the highest resolution music experience Audeze offers.
The LCD-3 has the longest voice coil and the strongest diaphragm driving force yielding the fastest transient response of all the LCD Collection.
Fazor Technology
Patent-pending Fazor elements guide and manage the flow of sound in the headphone for improved clarity and focus, greater frequency extension top and bottom, and remarkable 3D holographic imaging. The LCD-3 must be driven by an external headphone amplifier or integrated amp.

“A joy for those seeking clarity, detail and an intimate relationship with the music.”

“The LCD-3's natural timbre, especially throughout the midrange, was a thing of beauty and one that is hard to go without once experienced.”
– Andrew Robinson, HomeTheaterReview.com

“Speaking of über-performance, the Audeze LCD-3 is quite possibly the best headphone ever ... Starting with the bass, the impact and detail is simply otherworldly ... Midrange performance is similarly stellar, with hints of bloom, but never unnatural, never exaggerated ... We were both simply floored by the LCD-3's physicality”

“They don’t really look like other headphones, and in many ways, they don’t sound like other headphones. No, they sound much, much better ... The word that comes to mind as I listen to the LCD-3s is 'realism.' ... There are some cases where spending more gets you more, and LCD-3s are an example of that.”
– Geoffrey Morrison, Forbes

“I have never heard a set of headphones that got even remotely close to the sound of live music the way this one does and ...if you want the very best, get the LCD-3s.”
– Steve Guttenberg, CNET
