Know before you buy
The LCD-i4 uses an open-back design combined with Audeze’s planar magnetic technology. This allows for a more spacious, speaker-like soundstage that is rarely found in traditional in-ear monitors.
These technologies work together to ensure the diaphragm moves with extreme precision and control. This results in the exceptionally low distortion and high-fidelity transient response that the LCD-i4 is known for.
Each earpiece weighs only 12 grams, making them very lightweight for their size. While they feature a unique fit, the minimal weight helps prevent ear fatigue during extended use.
Yes, because the LCD-i4 is an open-back design, sound will leak out and ambient noise will leak in. They are best suited for quiet environments where you can fully appreciate the audio quality without distraction.
The headphones include a premium braided cable made from silver-plated OCC copper. It is reinforced with Kevlar threads to provide high durability and prevent tangling.
The LCD-i4 offers a remarkably flat frequency response down to 5Hz. You get deep, accurate bass that remains tight and controlled without the artificial bloat often found in smaller drivers.
