Audeze LCD2 Classic
$1,099.00
Audeze LCD2 Classic over ear planar magnetic, open back headphone. It trades the heavy duty travel case from the LCD2 for a less rugged 'economy' case, swaps wood housing and leather pads for synthetics and is tuned to have a warmer sound more similar to early editions, that many people have loved about Audeze LCD2 headphones since they launched.
The warmth is combined with the lifelike dynamics, clarity and realistic musical power that people love and expect from Audeze LCD headphones.
A new for 2024 braided cable with XLR plug + 6.5mm adaptor are included - the braided cable is a great quality cable that is durable and resists noise, tangling. So, you now gget both balanced and regular connections included.
The headband is the comfy suspension type and while the weight is still there, comfort is very good since it has such a large contact area. At 70 ohms and a high sensitivity of 101dB, LCD2 Classics are easier to power than LCD2's of old - you should get great results with a wide range of headphone amps and dacs.
Audeze LCD2 Classic reviews:
theverge.com:9/10 - 'these cans will turn you into an audiophile'
cnet.com : Audeze LCD2C will ruin your taste for other audiophile headphones'
headfonia.com: I think Audeze did the right thing with creating the classic the way they did it. A great looking, more comfortable headphone, which is a very affordable and to top it off with a really great sound quality. In this price range the LCD2 classic certainly is recommended if you want a balanced, precise and clean sound from a more neutrally tuned headphone. It’s very easy to like.

Easily endgame for people who can't/won't spend the money for Focal Clear/Utopia or Electrostatics.
Pretty sure the only people who can hear voices in their head clearer were Moses and Joan of Arc.

HD600's alter ego
I got theese from the Headphonebar around 2020. 2024 review. I got the HD600 from local piano shop and they are my go to for learning new music since 2018, rediscovering classics. But the LCD2 classic, they are for another genre or another mood. Electronic music? Audeze. Heavy rock? Audeze. Sirupeux, calming tones. Complements well the Senns. If you got an HD6xx or the like, this is a must, what does'nt sound great on one will do on the other. Why not buy both! My experience with this shop was always flawless. Theese were bought as an open box. Perfect stuff. No regrets, 100$ would trust again (and I had again and again since then).

Audeze LCD2 Classic…best planar for the money.
The latest version of the LCD2 Classic, is wonderfully detailed without being in your face. I’m sensitive to overly bright gear and these headphones present a natural and balanced and revealing perspective on the music without any glare or hardness. They are, I feel more, comfortable than the non classic LCD2 as well as CLD-X that I also tried. Fairly easy to drive, even with a simple apple dongle to satisfying levels but plan to buy a desktop DAC/AMP in the future to get more out of them. Highly recommended these headphones and the Headphone Bar is a great retailer to deal with.

OMG! Worth saving for, worth waiting for...
First of all, I find they are incredibly comfortable. The pads are soft and lush, the headband distributes the weight well (they are heavy) and I can listen to them for hours and forget they are there. I love how these sound. I enjoy planar headphones however I find some I’ve tried are reluctant to provide the bass I want. The LCD2 Classic’s give me that great planar sound and beautiful, rich bass. Listening to music is magical with these, just as I knew it would be. I tried a pair in the headphone bar, before Covid, and I’ve been saving ever since. It took a while but it was worth it!!
