help Audeze LCD-3 FAQ

What type of drivers do the Audeze LCD-3 headphones use?

Contrary to dynamic designs, the Audeze LCD-3 actually utilizes proprietary planar magnetic drivers. These large flat drivers use Fluxor magnets and Fazor waveguides to produce sound.

Do Audeze LCD-3 headphones need an amplifier?

Yes, due to their planar magnetic design and low sensitivity, they require a powerful external headphone amplifier to reach optimal listening volumes. Driving them directly from a standard smartphone is generally insufficient.

What is the impedance of the Audeze LCD-3?

The Audeze LCD-3 has an impedance of 110 ohms and a sensitivity of around 101 dB. While this impedance isn't extremely high, the low sensitivity makes them quite power-hungry.

How heavy are the Audeze LCD-3 headphones?

They are quite heavy, weighing approximately 600 grams (about 1.3 lbs). Audeze includes a specialized locking cable and a premium travel case to manage their substantial build.
