What customers say
Audeze LCD cables receive praise primarily for their exceptional build quality and durability. Users value the robust connectors and flexible jacket, seeing them as essential accessories matching the flagship headphone standard. The availability of balanced options is highly regarded for maximizing amplifier performance. While sonic benefits are sometimes debated, many report subtle clarity enhancements, especially when using balanced setups. The main drawback cited is the high price point, which some feel strains the overall value proposition. However, for committed users seeking maximum reliability and construction quality within the Audeze ecosystem, these cables are generally considered a worthwhile, high-performance investment.
Know before you buy
Cryogenic treatment is used to improve the structural integrity of the metal, while the monocrystalline OCC copper minimizes internal grain boundaries. Together, these features reduce signal resistance and distortion, resulting in a cleaner, more transparent audio signal.
The cable features a highly flexible, tangle-free design that resists knotting during use. Additionally, its non-microphonic jacket is specifically engineered to prevent the transmission of mechanical noise if the cable brushes against your clothing.
The AWG 20 equivalent cross-section ensures very low resistance, which allows for efficient power delivery from your amplifier to the drivers. This helps maintain signal integrity and prevents the cable from becoming a bottleneck for your audio quality.
Choose the single-ended version if your amplifier only has a standard 1/4-inch headphone jack. If your amplifier supports balanced output, the 4-pin XLR version is recommended to take advantage of the increased power and improved channel separation that balanced connections provide.
Yes, this premium cable is designed to be compatible with the standard dual-connector configuration found across the Audeze LCD headphone line. It provides a direct, secure connection to the earcups for consistent performance.
