Audiophiles, audio engineers, and audio aficionados will be thrilled by the leather Audeze LCD-X Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones Premium Package, a pair of high-performance reference planar magnetic headphones, designed for professional mixing, mastering, and reference level personal hi-fi listening when connected to a low-powered external headphone amplifier or portable device. The premium package includes a 6.2' single-ended 1/4" to dual 4-pin mini-XLR cable, a 6.2' balanced 4-pin XLR to dual 4-pin mini-XLR cable, a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter, and a professional travel case.
The headphones are sensitive enough to be driven by portable music players such as iPods, iPhones, and other smartphones. Instead of utilizing traditional dynamic cone drivers, the headphones implement a neodymium planar magnetic transducer design to deliver a frequency response of 10 to 50 kHz with a THD of less than 0.1%, an impedance of 20 ohms, an efficiency of 100 dB per 1 mW, and a total output SPL of over 130 dB when driven by 5 watts. The headphone earcups are made of carbon fiber with open-cell foam earpads covered in black top-grain leather. The Audeze LCD-XC are handmade in the USA.
