Know before you buy
With an impedance of 70 ohms, these headphones are relatively easy to drive compared to some high-end planar models. However, to fully realize their warm, detailed sound signature, a dedicated desktop headphone amplifier is recommended over a standard laptop or phone output.
Yes, they feature a ventilated suspension headband and thick, soft earpads designed to distribute weight evenly. While they weigh 550g, the ergonomic design makes them comfortable for extended critical listening.
The LCD-2 Classic is known for a warm, tube-like sound signature with deep, punchy bass and a natural midrange. Because they use planar magnetic drivers, they offer a wider, more spacious soundstage than most traditional dynamic driver headphones.
