Audeze launches new high-end LCD Collection headphones

From what we’ve seen so far of Audeze’s over-ear LCD Collection (the near-flagship LCD-3, which we tested at £1725), we are impressed. Audeze is planning to expand the range with two new models, one affordable pair, and one that isn’t so affordable…

Sitting underneath the £3050 LCD-4 flagship headphones, and featuring Audeze’s patented Fluxor magnets, the LCD-MX4 (£2290) are “significantly lighter” than any other LCD model, thanks to an all-new design including magnesium housing with a carbon fibre headband.

Typically priced $800 (£610), they can be pre-ordered for $600 (£460), with shipping expected to start mid-December.

Audeze is also bringing out Collectable versions of the brand’s flagship LCD-4 cans, featuring “the finest woods, extraordinary colours and stunning finishes”.
