Audeze is a brand that needs no introduction; the American audio manufacturer makes some of the best planar headsets, and its products are used in recording studios around the world. While the brand has diversified its offerings in recent years — introducing gaming-focused headsets and budget options that are available for under $500 — the LCD series forms the core of its portfolio.
And in that series, the LCD-X reigns supreme; introduced nearly a decade ago, the LCD-X is Audeze's best-selling headset, and the brand rolled out a new version in 2021 with a slightly lighter design and better weight distribution, tweaks to the sound signature, and new ear cushions.
