Audeze LCD-3 Headphones - Over/On Ear I’m selling my pair of Audeze LCD-3. While awesome, they really don’t get much airplay these days. Most of my infrequent headphone listening time is spent between my Final Audio D8000 and my Meze Empyrean. These are the fazor model from 2015 so before the driver change in 2016 (or was it in 2018?). The headphones present as new. They come with both headbands, the original and the newer style. I have the original, bomb proof, hard case so shipping is possible at buyer’s cost. The headphone stand is not included in the sale. Condition: As New / Mint
At A$1,300, this LCD-3 listing is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of A$971 for comparable used AUD listings and significantly under the median of A$1,674. The timing is favorable too; while the LCD-3 is a legacy model replaced by newer planars, its classic magnetic design remains highly sought after for its musicality, making this price an excellent entry point into high-end Audeze sound.
The LCD-3 is well-regarded for its spacious, engaging midrange and powerful bass, offering a visceral listening experience that newer models sometimes lack. At this price, the original-owner condition and likely inclusion of the premium 4-pin balanced cable add meaningful upside, turning this into a clear buying opportunity rather than a caution. With no noted failure points or missing accessories, this clean listing of a revered headphone at a rock-bottom price is a strong play for any serious enthusiast.
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.
