Critically Acclaimed LCD-XC Delivers Award-Winning Audiophile Sound
A flagship headphone in its own right. Those looking for the best close-back on the market won’t have to look very far to find value in the XC. Highly recommended.
The best closed-backs I’ve heard … as close as a closed-back model has ever gotten to the awesome spatiality of the best open-back headphones.”
Highly recommended, exceptionally well-made, extremely comfortable, for those wanting an alternative to loudspeakers or the best from a desktop system.”
Overall the sound is well balanced, with accurate bass, and delicate treble. Vocals were razor sharp and dead-center. Even the organ was noticeably just off center to the right. Now that’s great stereo imaging. “
With the LCD-XC you’re an instant member of the luxo club and a posh headfi citizen … Altogether serious and end-of-the-road headphones for those demanding the best.”
Fantastic bass performance, powerful, taut and fast, with real slam, beautifully defined and extremely well differentiated … another of Audeze’s great achievement.”
