Audeze Introduces The All New LCD-2 Classic - An Upgrade To The LCD-2

What happens when you remove the Fazor elements from the LCD-2's drivers? You get the warm and energetic sound of the Audeze LCD-2 Classic. Given the original LCD-2's popularity, Audeze decided to bring it back in a new and improved version — the LCD-2 Classic. When the LCD-2 launched in 2009 to rave reviews, it made Audeze a household name among audiophiles. The LCD-2 Classic returns to Audeze's roots with a unique offset magnet array that creates a broad, deep sense of space. Its driver tuning provides a tube-like character with a forgiving yet clear sound signature. Now, this relaxed, full, and spacious sound that made the original a hit is more affordable than ever with the LCD-2 Classic. Still handbuilt in our Southern California workshop, this classic headphone is worth the wait.

Features 106mm Planar Magnetic Driver & High-Quality Components For Hi-Res Audio

Audeze LCD-2 Classic features a high-quality 106mm planar magnetic driver featuring a neodymium N50 proprietary magnet array and ultra-thin diaphragm for exceptional performance.Unlike a dynamic driver with a cone or dome attached to a round voice coil, Audeze's flat, thin-film diaphragm has a printed circuit across most of its surface. When the circuit is energised with an audio signal it interacts with the Proprietary magnet array that moves the diaphragm back and forth, creating a larger-than-life sound. Further, the double-sided magnet arrays deliver a uniform driving force across the entire diaphragm for a near-zero distortion. LCD-2 Classic harkens back to the first headphones Audeze sold, with a unique offset magnet array that gives the sound a broad, deep sense of space. The driver tuning lends a tube-like character to the forgiving, yet clear sound signature.

The realism washes over you, enveloping you in your favourite music without a care for the outside world.

The Audeze - LCD 2 Classic's will ruin your taste for other audiophile headphones. It is the muscle car equivalent of headphones, it's got the power to absolutely move you!
I have sampled the extravagant extremes of personal audio, such as Focal’s $4,000 Utopias, and there’s nothing I’m missing when stepping down in price to LCD2Cs'.
Audeze did the right thing with creating the classic the way they did it. A great looking, more comfortable, which is very affordable and to top it off with great sound quality.
There's a slam in the sub-bass with fast decay and a decent amount of rumble. Mids sound nice, with the high-mids not shouty. Treble's crsip, no harshness & silibance.
Build quality and materials are top notch at this price. The new crystal-infused nylon rings appear to be brutally sturdy; the new braided cable is ergonomically excellent.
The dynamic, yet relaxed reproduction that the drivers deliver is what I like most about pure music listening. Since the headphones also fit very comfortably and as they regularly escalate listening sessions immensely.

Superb

I was sceptical buying Audeze for a long time as people brand them bass-canons and I am not a bass head. However finally buying and listening to these is an eye opener into what I was missing till now. Punchy, super thrilling tight bass but also great overall sound. No lack of clarity or muddy sound, just hefty sound. I highly recommend known and established brands like Sennheiser, Focal & Audeze to people rather than others. If you spend too much on any other brand, there's a big chance you will regret it, like I did.

Hey Prateek, thanks a lot for this lovely review and we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.

After a long wait

I’ve been a music lover for long but never knew music was this fun and can’ open your mind to a different dimension that has never been opened before. As they say listen good music.
The hunt for a good reliable headphone has started almost 3 months back when I had my first call to Vinit during an odd time by mistake. Even though I’ve never seen him in person and only interaction with him was through the phone he has been more than helpful to help me through the entry into audiophile world. At last I had to take the leap of faith for the Audeze LCD2C as I couldn’t wait anymore and I have paired it with chord mojo 2 and I am more than satisfied.
There has been a talk in all the reviews that they are heavy and they hurt your neck after 1 hr. I’ve listened to them for 5 hrs continuously without any neck pain or hearing fatigue.
Love the purchase and the experience from headphone zone

Thank you for your accurate feedback on this product, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well.

I have used many headphones even LCD X but LCD 2C has its own class its warm sound signature is details with Deep Thumping bass , Vocals are the best in these headphones even better then LCD X so sweet no harsh tone on female Voices
if you are thinking to upgrade from headphones like HD660s then this is for you for sure it you can listen to these and will forget everything the best part about planer specially LCD's you can keep on increasing the volume knob these are not gonna sweet they are soo loud and wont even distort the sound in anyway

Probably the best headphones you can buy

I bought LCD2C for the second time after almost four years because I tried so many headphones but none suited my taste. I have been HD6XX/650 user for almost 8 years.

If you are looking for better bass and soundstage than HD6XX, you look no further. This is it, just buy an LCD2C and be done with it. They have changed the pads, the pads are less thicker now and they are not memory foam now. They have also reduced the weight a little, they are a lot more comfortable for long listening now.

The sound is more balanced now, the famous Audeze dip around 2-5k is a lot better now. But I am boosting the bass a little for my taste and it responds to EQ very well.

It's waste of time and money if you are looking a better headphone with similar sound signature than LCD2C IMO.

For what it offers I think it's a better value for money than any high end headphones out there.

Damn..I almost forgot. They are including an excellent hard case with the headphone now which makes it even more amazing value.

If you are worried about weight, please try it once and decide. Other than that it's worth a blind buy IMO.

Hey Rama,
Thank you for the awesome detailed review. We greatly appreciate it & we are sure its going to help people make an informed decision. Cheers & Keep the music playing!

Incomplete as yet

Unboxing wonderful and ,the biggest surprise was the hard plastic case. Metal and signage’s excellent every bit worth the name and hype. Somehow I could not test it’s full potential sound quality as amp dac combo or all in one amp dac are not available as suggested the topping and if I zen stack so I would request you to kindly send me affordable good quality sound reproduction amp dacs Then I plan to use my iPhone for audio source. It appears I ve bought an Audi car with no tyre’s

A Masterpiece Through & Through!

Truly an incredible set of headphones. I purchased these early in April and wanted to take my time to really put these through the paces before I wrote a review.
If you want the short version of this then: For under 1L these are the best headphones I've ever heard for my preference!

No review can accommodate for subjective tastes but I prefer headphones closer to the dark and laid back sound signature that one would associate with a pair of HD650s.

I was looking for a pair of headphones that were an upgrade from my 650s while also serving alongside the DT1990s that I use for work.
My home audio setup at the moment includes a Topping D10 serving as a DDC to my Aune X8 Magic Dac paired with my Aune X7s.
I did the listening using a mix of local DSD files, 24 & 16bit Flac files as well as music off Spotify.
I tested the LCD2C using a Headgear Audio Balanced Cable.

Here are my observations when comparing with the HD650 and DT1990 pro.

1) DT1990 (Balanced Pads) vs LCD2C: The sound is so much wider and has such depth to it on the LCD2C. Compared to the DT1990 the highs are reduced but much more pleasant without any of the sibilance that is so characteristic of the 1990s. I believe the 1990s while EQ'd can come close to the warmth and lushness of the LCD2C, but they do not have the all present soundstage that the LCD have.
The bass detail is greater on the 1990s and they extend deeper but they do not have the slam and heftiness of the LCDs. I feel if the bass is the criteria then this is simply a matter of taste. For large orchestral music I prefer the bass on the LCD since its more natural to the setting and the soundstage compliments the natural reproduction. You can't go wrong with either for bass but they just both aim for different targets. LCDs have a more natural bass and the 1990s have exaggerated and detailed bass.
The LCDs take the highs for me for leisure listening. The 1990s are incredible workhorses and enable you to really pick apart the details across the spectrum but as a result, can be fatiguing over long listening sessions.
Conclusion: LCD2C is more pleasurable and for enjoying the music whereas the 1990s while incredible for studio work can't match the musicality and easiness of the LCD2C.

HD650 (balanced & with Dekoni Hybrid pads.) vs LCD2C: The sound signature that these two aim for is very much within the same umbrella but they both have very different ways of going about it.
To keep it short, I've had my 650s for 7 years and I love them to bits! I 've swapped the stock pads on my 650s for Dekoni Hybrids and it really makes them more comfortable and enhances the bass response while preserving the vocal representation that these are known for. Compared to the LCD2C, if I had to pick one, I'd go for Audeze.
The 650s (especially after the launch of the 6xx) are a steal and the best deal in audio in my opinion, but the Audeze is better! While the 650s are incredibly intimate, I find I can't enjoy tracks with vast arrangements on these nearly as much. The LCDs can be intimate when they have to be and be vast when needed. They're just more musical while having more present highs and an infinitely better bass in comparison.
Conclusion: If you're thinking of upgrading from the 650s, then the LCD2C are it!

The LCDs are incredibly well built, have such plush earcups that make them so comfortable to wear. They don't feel heavy on my head (the suspension head strap helps) and the memory foam earcups just hug your ears. I've worn these for over 6 hours on multiple occasions and have no complaints. They don't come with a case although the Hifiman case on HPZ works just fine for these.
These are going to stay with me and it's a pleasure to listen to them.
They're filled with detail without being harsh. They've incredible soundstage, temper the highs with no sacrifice in the mids and low end, and they're so incredibly musical that I'm rediscovering my library.
I'd recommend that you do your research and read reviews and decide if these are for you. Before you make your mind I would recommend reaching out to the HPZ team.

I was on the fence for months and after my conversation with Raghav, I went for these. He was incredibly helpful. so honest about the product and to put it bluntly, really knew his shit and these products and I couldn't be happier!
So thank you to the team, a big shout out to Raghav for being so patient with my many questions and for really helping me pick a pair of headphones that I'm sure to pass down to my kids.

If I had to pick a pair of headphones from the 3 that I have at the moment (and provided I didn't need the 1990s for work), it would be these. Hands down.

Hey Pranav, We are really happy to hear that you are loving your new Audeze - LCD2 Classic! These are surely a great pick! Thank you so much sparing time and sharing your detailed feedback about the headphones. :)
