Building on the success of its award-winning Mobius headphones, Audeze pushes the envelope further with the LCD-GX, combining unparalleled sound quality and clear voice chat for the serious purist audiophile gamer. This groundbreaking high-end headset takes gaming audio to new heights, delivering an immersive experience that stands out in the competitive gaming landscape. The LCD-GX is designed with the serious audiophile gamer in mind. It incorporates Audeze’s patented planar magnetic technology, known for producing some of the most detailed and accurate sound available in any headphone. The advanced Fluxor™ magnets and ultra-thin Uniforce™ diaphragms ensure superior bass, an expansive soundstage, and high resolution, making every in-game sound come alive with stunning clarity and depth. This results in a richer and more immersive gaming experience that truly sets the LCD-GX apart.
In addition to its outstanding sound quality, the LCD-GX excels in providing clear and effective voice communication. It includes a detachable cable with a built-in directional, noise-attenuating boom microphone, ensuring your voice is transmitted with clarity and precision. The thoughtfully designed microphone cable includes a mute button and a flexible gooseneck arm, allowing you to position the microphone perfectly for optimal performance. This makes the LCD-GX not just a great headphone for listening, but also an excellent tool for team communication during intense gaming sessions. To maximize the performance of the LCD-GX, Audeze offers the Black and Silver Dragon Premium Cables. These high-quality cables help remove the veil of the stock cable, allowing the LCD-GX to truly breathe and flex its muscles. The premium cables enhance the sound quality by providing a clearer, more detailed audio signal, ensuring that you experience the full potential of these remarkable headphones.
Handcrafted in Audeze’s California factory, the LCD-GX features magnesium housing, memory foam ear pads, and a suspension headband designed to reduce weight and extend comfort, even during marathon gaming sessions. The ergonomic design ensures that the headphones sit comfortably on your head, providing hours of fatigue-free listening. The LCD-GX comes with two exchangeable cables – the boom mic cable and a standard LCD series cable, catering to those who may not always need the boom mic. The boom mic cable terminates with a 1/8” TRRS 4-conductor plug for use with virtually all PCs, Macs, cellphones, and other devices. Additionally, a dual 1/8” inch splitter for separate headphone and microphone inputs and a ¼” stereo plug adapter are included, ensuring wide compatibility with various setups.
The Audeze LCD-GX sets a new standard for gaming headphones, combining state-of-the-art sound quality with exceptional voice communication and comfort. Whether you are a serious gamer or an audiophile looking for the ultimate in gaming audio, the LCD-GX is designed to deliver an unparalleled experience. Enhance your gaming with the world’s first audiophile gaming headphones and experience sound like never before.
Dragon Cable Recommendation: We recommend pairing the Audeze LCD-GX Headphones with the Silver Dragon Premium Cable for Audeze Headphones. The Silver Dragon will give a big boost in instrument separation and detail. You'll get added clarity with some top-end sizzle. It's a wonderful match for the warmer and bottom-heavy LCD-2 and LCD-3. If you really enjoy critical listening, or your audio system leans warm or dark, then the Silver Dragon will be a good choice. It's a great cable for classical, jazz, and other genres with nuanced instrumentation. For gamers, the added detail and clarity of the Silver Dragon can make all the difference on the gaming battlefield.
Unparalleled Sound Quality and Immersion: Advanced Planar Magnetic Drivers

These larger drivers provide deeper bass, a superior soundstage, and exceptional resolution, making them ideal not just for gaming but also for professional audio tasks such as monitoring, mixing, and editing. The drivers’ large surface area and efficient magnetic structure ensure precise and detailed sound reproduction, bringing every nuance of the audio to life.
Designed for Serious Gamers
Engineered with the serious gamer in mind, the LCD-GX is strictly analog, eschewing digital processing to deliver the purest sound possible. This approach caters to purists who demand the highest audio fidelity, ensuring that every sound is rendered with absolute clarity and accuracy. The open-back design of the GX contributes to a wider and more accurate soundstage, creating an expansive and realistic audio environment that enhances the gaming experience.

Listen Responsibily
To avoid damage to your headphones and/or hearing, ensure the volume on your player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones on your head, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level. Exposure to excessive sound levels can cause gradual hearing loss and damage your headphones.
Excessive power levels can damage your headphones. Be sure to stay within the rated power level of 500mW RMS to minimize the risk of damage, which is not covered under warranty.
