Audeze lcd-xc hoofdtelefoon het aanbod betreft een demo model staat van de speakers: in zo goed als nieuwe staat bijgeleverde accessoires: alle originele accessoires en toebehoren originele verpakking
The timing matters because this is a long-running model rather than a brand-new release, so the key question is whether you’re paying near fair used value for a current-enough XC rather than paying too close to new. At €1,149, it looks a bit ambitious but not crazy versus recent used examples around €1,000 and new pricing around €1,259 in Europe, so I’d want it closer to the used median before calling it a clean buy.
That said, the LCD-XC is still a compelling closed-back planarmagnetic: big, resolved, and unusually capable with bass control and detail, which is why it stays on many shortlists. If the listing is genuinely clean, includes the case and stock accessories, and is an older but well-kept unit from a known owner, that helps; at this price, I’d also verify pad condition, headband wear, and whether it’s the newer 2021-era revision or an older version, since those details matter more than cosmetics here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audeze emerged in 2008 from a modest garage in Southern California's Orange County, USA, where founders including CEO Sankar Thiagasamundram and CTO Dr. Dragoslav Colich drew inspiration from a "2001: A Space Odyssey" poster—altering its spelling to evoke a "journey through audio." The company's origin traces to an encounter with an ex-NASA scientist whose flexible circuit material, originally for spacecraft, proved ideal for planar magnetic diaphragms, sparking a revolution in headphone design rooted in advanced materials science.
Audeze specializes in premium headphones, leveraging proprietary planar magnetic drivers and patented technologies like those in the LCD Origins series for unparalleled sound reproduction. Hand-assembled in their California facility, these open-back and closed-back models target audiophiles, Grammy-winning engineers, eSports pros, and gaming enthusiasts, with innovations extending to AI-powered spatial audio—eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or ancillary gear like DACs and cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Audeze commands respect as the most-awarded headphone brand worldwide, lauded for precision craftsmanship and the most accurate sound available. Its 2023 acquisition by Sony Interactive Entertainment bolsters PlayStation audio innovation while preserving independent multi-platform development, cementing its status among discerning buyers seeking uncompromised fidelity.
