Our Verdict

Audeze LCD 2 Classic/LC2C

Audeze MM-100

The Audeze LCD 2 Classic/LC2C and the Audeze MM-100 are open-back, planar magnetic headphones from the same manufacturer. As a result, they share a lot of similar traits, with little to differentiate between them. They're both comfortable and well-built, with both headphones employing adjustable ski-band style headbands. They also have extremely similar sound profiles, with an underemphasized bass response and a recessed treble range. The main difference between the two is the soundstage, where the LCD 2 Classic sound a touch more wide and open. The LCD 2 Classic also have a higher impedance, and you'll need an amp or soundcard to drive them.
