Audeze LCD-1 Sound Impressions 

The circumaural (over-ear) LCD-1 headphones are available in black, with an eggshell finish on a plastic frame that's accented by leather-like material covering the plush earpads and headband. The fit is snug and comfortable. Internally, 90mm planar magnetic drivers deliver an impressive frequency range of 10Hz to 50kHz. The enclosure is open, with grilles on the outer panels of the earcups, so you will have some sound bleeding outward. The headphones are excellent for checking mixes, but less ideal for tracking scenarios in a studio (or wearing at the office). The cabling, which is clothbound and attaches individually to both earcups, terminates in a 3.5mm connection, with a quarter-inch headphone jack adapter included. There's no inline remote control for operating mobile devices or taking calls, which is par for the course in this category but might annoy some buyers who'd like to be able to take a phone call and skip tracks without grabbing their mobile device or removing their...

Dec 28, 2020 ·  You don’t need to piss off your neighbors to hear the clear spacious sound of full-sized speakers or monitors. Audeze’s LCD-1 reference headphones manage to replicate the experience of large desktop speakers in a comfortable portable package. But with an open-back design and planar drivers, it’s hard to recommend them to anyone but audio nerds and musicians. 

Audeze’s open-backed LCD-1 reference audio headphones are its most affordable yet. The market for premium, wireless, noise-cancelling over-ear headphones is saturated. Companies from Bose and Bowers & Wilkins to Microsoft and Sony are ready to sell you a pair – as long as you have £300-£400 to spend. Fortunately, Audeze has no interest in crashing that particular market. The Californian specialist may only have been operating for a dozen years or so, but it has spent that time establishing an enviable reputation for high-performance, high-price headphones with looks as uncompromising as the technology inside them. The LCD-1 are the most affordable full-size headphones Audeze has ever developed, and what they’re meant to achieve is far from what the mainstream market is aiming for. Single-mindedness is all well and good, of course – but are the LCD-1 on-ears worth considering? The Audeze LCD-1 first went on sale in late 2019, and haven’t shifted much in price since. 

Most headphones use dynamic drivers to generate sound waves. In these drivers, an electrical audio signal is sent through a coil of wire—the voice coil—which creates a magnetic field around the coil that oscillates according to the waveform in the signal. The oscillating magnetic field interacts with the static field of a permanent magnet mounted nearby, which pushes and pulls on the voice coil, causing it to vibrate in response. The voice coil is attached to a diaphragm, which vibrates along with it, sending sound waves into the listener’s ear. Planar-magnetic drivers are similar in principle but different in implementation. Instead of a voice coil, the diaphragm in a PM driver is directly embedded with a flat conductor that snakes back and forth across its entire surface (see Fig. 1). That conductor carries the audio signal, and the oscillating magnetic field interacts with the static field of permanent magnets mounted very close to the diaphragm. That causes the diaphragm to vibr...
