The result is the LCD-X, a headphone thats so smooth, so responsive, and so extended in its frequency response that they made Zeos Reviews proclaim: \"everything is garbage compared to these. You should drop everything and...figure out how to afford some LCD-Xs.\"\nThe overall tonality of the LCD-X is neutral, making it a great option for producers and mastering engineers. However, it's so easy to drive that it would make a great pair for everyday listening. Like other high-end planar magnetics, the LCD-X has a snappiness and punchiness, as well as tight, well-controlled bass. \nLifelike reproduction\nPlanar magnetic transducers are different from the dynamic drivers found in most headphones. A large, thin diaphragm is suspended between two sizable magnets. The magnets create a magnetic field that vibrates the diaphragm to generate sound. This results in low distortion and incredibly lifelike sound. \nFazor Phase Management\nWhile planar magnetic headphones offer a lot of advantages over dynamic drivers, they also present their own problems. Diffraction of sound off the magnets can cause different frequencies to arrive at different times, resulting in changes of phase. And when sound waves created by multiple magnets collide, wave interference occurs (that's a bad thing). \nAudeze has attempted to solve these problems with a proprietary technology called Fazor Phase Management. Fazors are triangular elements that cap each magnet. They act as guides for the sound, maneuvering waves from the drivers and preventing them from interfering with each other. The result is cleaner sound, greater resolution, and better imaging. \nHandcrafted comfort\nFully assembled in Audeze's Orange County factory, the LCD-X bears the fruit of hand-crafted attention in every stitch.
