Audio46's Opinion
We're not going to hold back on this one. We love these cans with a capital L. LCD-GX headphones excel across the frequency range in every possible respect. The low end is deep and articulate, providing a rich and dynamic experience. The midrange, though not overly prominent, is accurate and captivating, bringing vocals a touch forward and lending an intimacy to acoustic instruments in particular. The high end is refined, complementing the warm character of the sound profile. The soundstage is thoroughly immersive, creating a hyper-dimensional and sometimes trippy listening experience. Whether you're using these for gaming or just listening enjoyment, rest assured that the LCD-GX delivers that deep, honey-like sound that makes Audeze so delicious.

Take gaming to the next level
Audeze’s acclaimed LCD series has set the standard for planar magnetic headphone performance. After pushing the envelope on gaming audio with our award-winning Mobius and Penrose headsets, LCD-GX advances the category further by combining the finest in sound quality with clear voice chat for the serious audiophile gamer.
Based on the rave-reviewed LCD series, the LCD-GX combines Audeze’s patented Fluxor™ magnets and ultra-thin Uniforce™ diaphragms to deliver astonishing sound quality and immersion. Our advanced LCD Planar Magnetic drivers are at least twice the size of those found in other gaming headphones, providing better bass, superior soundstage, and outstanding resolution suitable not just for gaming, but for monitoring, mixing, and editing audio.
Audeze's Reference Planar Magnetic Sound Quality
Based on the rave-reviewed LCD series, the LCD-GX combines Audeze’s patented Fluxor™ magnets and ultra-thin Uniforce™ diaphragms to deliver astonishing sound quality and immersion. Our advanced LCD Planar Magnetic drivers are at least twice the size of those found in other gaming headphones, providing better bass, superior soundstage, and outstanding resolution suitable not just for gaming, but for monitoring, mixing, and editing audio. Designed for the serious gamer, the LCD-GX is strictly analog – no digital processing – just for the real purist who wants the best possible sound. Being an open-back design, the GX has a wider, more accurate soundstage.
Comfort
The LCD-GX is handcrafted in Audeze’s California factory and features magnesium housing, open-cell foam ear pads, and a suspension headband designed to reduce weight and extend comfort for marathon gaming sessions.
Performance
A new single-sided Fluxor™ magnetic structure provides high sensitivity and low distortion (100 dB /1 mW @ 1kHz), allowing the LCD-GX to work with a wide variety of devices. To get the best output from the headphones, we suggest pairing them with a good amplifier and DAC.
Microphone
The LCD-GX includes a detachable cable with a built-in directional, noise-attenuating boom microphone. The thoughtfully designed microphone cable includes a mute button and flexible gooseneck arm, allowing customized positioning to ensure each individual can find the angle that works best for them.
Compatibility
The LCD-GX comes with 2 exchangeable cables – The boom mic cable, and a standard LCD series cable (for those who don’t always need the boom mic). The boom mic cable terminates with a 1/8” TRRS 4 conductor plug for use with virtually all PCs, Macs, cellphones, etc. We also include a dual 1/8” inch splitter for separate headphone and microphone inputs.
