The Audeze LCD-XC is a closed-back, over-ear planar magnetic headphone that has become the gold standard closed-back of the professional audio world since its introduction in 2013. Trusted by award-winning artists and engineers, the LCD-XC is a blend of transparency and reliability, ideal for any studio or audiophile system where isolation is desired. It shares the same drivers and basic construction as the acclaimed open-back LCD-X, lending it a similar level of detail and transparency, while its closed-back carbon-fiber design adds isolation and a slight lift in bass response between 120–200 Hz — making electric bass even more defined and letting you focus as intensely as you need without distraction. This is the Leather version, featuring genuine leather earpads and matched carbon-fiber earcups.

Key elements of its design:

• Planar Magnetic Precision The sophisticated planar magnetic drivers reproduce even the most intimate details with microscopic clarity, ensuring your final mix is exactly as you intend it. Incredibly dynamic, nimble, neutral, and transparent, the LCD-XC accurately reveals everything on the recording.
• Patented Audeze Technologies The LCD-XC leverages patented Audeze technologies, including Ultra-Thin Uniforce diaphragms, Fazor waveguides, and powerful Neodymium N50 magnets in a double-sided magnetic structure, to deliver extremely accurate and detailed sound with improved phase response, frequency extension, and 3D holographic imaging.
• Carbon-Fiber Closed-Back Cups Rather than an open grill, each earcup is a slightly rounded carbon-fiber cup that keeps your music in and everyone else's noise out. The isolation provided by the leather pads and carbon-fiber cups is excellent, blocking out nearly everything from the outside world — ideal for tracking and noisy environments.
• Genuine Leather Earpads The premium leather earpads are filled with carefully selected acoustical foam for the best fit and sound, sloped for an optimal seal, delivering both comfort and consistent low-end response for hours of listening.
• Easy to Drive, Better with an Amp The planar magnetic drivers achieve high efficiency with a low 20-ohm impedance, so the LCD-XC can deliver great sound from nearly any device with a headphone output — though it sounds its best driven by a quality headphone amplifier.
• Premium Hand-Built Construction Thoroughly engineered and meticulously hand-built in the USA from luxurious materials — carbon fiber, aluminum, stainless steel, and leather — with transducers matched within +/- 1 dB and a steel & leather suspension headband for even weight distribution over long sessions.

Reviewing it, SoundStage! remarked that in their experience the LCD-XC is as close as a closed-back model has ever gotten to the awesome spatiality of the best open-back headphones, while Bloom Audio praised how the overall build exudes quality and durability, with a modern, industrial design that's every bit as sturdy as it looks.
