Reasons Why You Should Buy Them

• LCD-1 are one of the least expensive Audeze models, an excellent choice for someone who wants to try a pair of open-back planar magnetic over-ear headphones
• Well-designed, modern-looking over-ears with great fit and finish. Sleek exterior, matte black plastic construction, and synthetic leather-coated ear cushions and headband that feels durable and high quality
• The ear cups fold down to make Audeze LCD-1 Headphones more portable in their supplied hard carrying case
• LCD-1 are neutral-sounding pair of headphones that offer a flat-response sound signature for audiophiles with a clean and clear bass, as well as a voice-friendly midrange for accurate audio
• The lightweight design, memory foam ear cushions and comfortable construction of these headphones are perfect for extended listening sessions
• Battery-free design provides unlimited playback, just plug in and listen
• The low impedance of 16 ohms compared to other reference-grade headphones makes them compatible with portable audio sources such as phones and mp3 players
• Due to wired connection, there is no latency when watching video or game content

Reasons Why You Should Avoid Them

• Due to the open design, Audeze LCD-1 Headphones have very poor noise isolation and are not good for crowded environments
• Even at a moderate volume, the sound leaks considerably, which can bother the people around you
• No on-board or in-line microphone to make phone calls
• No dedicated app to control music, volume or create a personal listening experience
• There are no on-board controls, you need to take out your phone or music player to adjust the volume or skip tracks
• Bass lacks a bit compared to other top-level models; Audeze LCD-1 open back headphones are not for those who like a bit of boom
• The ear cups are a little smaller than the regular over-ear headphones and may not be very comfortable for people with large ears
