Audeze’s LCD-4 use innovative microscopic film that weighs less than the actual air that it moves. This allows for extremely accurate imaging and vastly deeper bass compared to almost any other headphone on the market. The magnet arrays enable the magnetic flux to reach 1.5 Tesla, producing more power for the diaphragm and boosting audio resolution.
As a result of the magnetic technology, the weight of the LCD-4 has caused comfort issues for some individuals. Audeze utilizes a delicate headband to counteract the extra heft on the ends of the drivers. The planar magnetic transducers effectively reproduce a natural, flat sound signature. Consumers praise the LCD-4's for their incredible clarity and exquisite tonality.
