Elevate gameplay and music with the LCD-GX Wired Over-Ear Open-Back Gaming Headphone from Audeze . Designed for heightened soundstage and base, the LCD-GX utilizes an open-back design that forgoes isolation in favor of a more spacious sound, allowing for easier pickup of directional cues in FPS titles or more atmospheric sound in adventure or horror games. The planar magnetic drivers are larger than traditional dynamic drivers and deliver a deeper bass response with more low-end extension, making the LCD-GX suitable for gaming as well as mixing, monitoring, and editing audio.
Choose between open-back (spacious sound, leaks noise) and closed-back (isolating, punchy bass) designs based on your environment. For wireless headphones, prioritize comfort and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance. Available from $899.
Wired headphones have no ongoing costs besides occasional earpad replacements. Wireless headphones function as consumables, as their batteries will eventually degrade after a few years of daily use.
