Audeze LCD-4z Over Ear Open Back Headphones for Audiophiles

Product Description
The LCD-4z stands as Audeze’s most sophisticated headphone model, harnessing groundbreaking planar magnetic technology that produces remarkable dynamics alongside an incredibly spacious and open acoustic experience. Its design incorporates our most advanced diaphragm technology; our exclusive nano-scale film is so lightweight that it weighs less than the air it displaces. This innovation leads to significantly enhanced response times, yielding improved imaging, and achieving the flattest, deepest, and most precise bass response available in headphones today.

About Audeze
Founded in 2008 in a garage, Audeze has an intriguing origin story. The company’s founders discovered an extraordinary flexible circuit material engineered for NASA, which they recognized could radically transform planar magnetic audio technology. Initially, they embarked on a project to create professional audio PA speakers but soon pivoted to headphone production, leading to the creation of the LCD-1.

The LCD-1 made its debut at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, where it garnered immense acclaim, marking the launch pad for Audeze's success. A space-themed poster from "2001: A Space Odyssey" hung on the garage wall, inspiring the company's name. Seeking a title that reflected a “journey through audio,” they settled on “Odyssey,” which is how Audeze, pronounced as “odyssey,” came to be.

Innovative Planar Magnetic Technology by Audeze
Acoustically Designed for Precision
Audeze’s cutting-edge planar magnetic technology ensures crystal-clear audio reproduction that captures every detail embedded in the recording.

Ultra-Thin Diaphragms
Our diaphragms, thinner than a human hair, utilize advanced materials, measuring four times larger than those in typical headphones. This results in swift response times, substantially lower distortion levels, heightened resolution, and improved imaging capabilities.

Minimal Distortion
Our double-sided magnet arrays deliver a consistent driving force across the entirety of the diaphragm, achieving near-zero distortion.

Internal Waveguide Technology
The patented Fazor Elements direct soundwaves within the headphone, minimizing resonances to produce a more precise waveform.

More About the LCD-4z Headphones
With the LCD-4z, you’ll appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and superior sound quality. Designed to last, the headphone's entire structure ensures years of enjoyable listening. The industrial design by Audeze emphasizes long-term comfort while delivering realistic, expansive audio. We meticulously match our transducers and earpads for an exemplary listening experience. Each pair is engineered and handcrafted in Audeze's California facility.

Specifications
The Audeze LCD-4z High-Performance Planar Magnetic Headphones boast a frequency response of 5Hz to 50kHz, an impedance of 15 Ohms, and a sturdy Magnesium housing paired with exquisite leather ear pads.

Striking New Design
The LCD-4z showcases a modern dark aesthetic complemented by gold accents. The magnesium rings are engineered to be lightweight, durable, and non-resonant, ensuring a pristine audio output.

Precision Engineering for Greater Efficiency
The LCD-4z introduces an enhanced design alongside improved efficiency. Featuring a special 15 Ohm voice coil, it is considerably easier to drive compared to the original LCD-4.

Ultra-Lightweight Nano-Scale Diaphragm
Our most advanced diaphragm technology features a unique nano-scale film that is lighter than the air it displaces, facilitating faster response times for superior imaging and delivering unparalleled bass performance.

Enhanced Magnetic Power
The Double Fluxor Magnet Arrays concentrate magnetic flux levels to an unprecedented 1.5 Tesla, nearly doubling the energy driving the diaphragm for exceptional transient response and significantly improved resolution.

Achieving Near Zero Distortion
The patented Fluxor Magnet Arrays amplify the magnetic flux, further doubling the power driving the diaphragm, resulting in lower distortion levels and superior acoustic accuracy.
