Audeze LCD-1 is an open back planar magnetic headphone, over the ear fit. Audeze's lightest weight headphone and an easy to drive design, with a folding headband and carry case. Its in stock now and it has excellent clarity and a very even, balanced tuning with plenty of detail in the vocal and treble, without sibilance.
LCD-1 sounds excellent from a Fiio M11 portable player and with the Dragonfly Cobalt. It is very light weight, not clampy at all and the comfort is 9/10.
Headfonics.com: LCD-1 sounds fantastic. It is certainly miles better than the original EL8. This is a very mature, coherent and tonally natural sound. Especially that treble performance.

I bought the LCD 1’s for several reasons one I love open back planar magnetic headphones I also wanted a portable headphone, I wanted a headphone I could power with my Shanling M0 or my phone . I love the fact that these reminded me of the old Rogers LS3/5a near field monitors they are extremely accurate and basically do everything well. You simply can’t go wrong with the LCD1 as a great headphone that sounds excellent with the better sources . If you use a DAP or DAC or phone as a source you will be impressed by what I like to call sonically the truth . If you’re seeking a great all rounder this could be for you. Excellent sound and value are this headphones strengths . They deserve an audition for the sheer pleasure of music. They are a great way to rediscover your music collection.
The dynamics on these 'phones are unbelievable, really makes music come alive. They're brilliant across the entire frequency range, you won't need to touch your EQ at all. They like a lot of power so pairing them with a smartphone just isn't going to give you their best.
