From Audeze

The LCD-i3 introduces superior resolution and refined acoustical tuning to the award-winning iSINE design. Featuring the design of the LCD-i4 together with the low impedance of the iSINE series, the LCD-i3 can push up to 130dB with zero audible distortion for a true audiophile in-ear experience.

Audiophile Sound From Any Device

The LCD-i3 is the next step in the evolution of the iSINE series. Featuring the magnesium housing and grill design of the LCD-i4, the LCD-i3 reduces unwanted resonance and delivers superior resolution to its iSINE counterparts. Bluetooth, Lightning, and 3.5mm connectivity come included, ensuring that you'll be able to enjoy true audiophile sound from any device.

The Pinnacle of In-Ear Technology

Borrowing from the award-winning LCD-i4 design, the LCD-i3 features a cast magnesium housing with an open back design for greater transparency deep, clean bass extension. The low impedance driver leverages our patented Uniforce voice coil and Fluxor magnet technologies to achieve the highest dynamic range of any in-ear, pushing up to 130dB with no audible distortion. With the ability to be paired with Bluetooth, Lightning, or Auxiliary devices, the LCD-i3's dynamic and engaging musical presence is matched only by its versatility, ensuring you'll be able to enjoy the best audiophile sound quality over any device.

Customizable Comfort

Our brand new Ear Fins are ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit within the concha bowl of the ear. For those that prefer the traditional iSINE fit, our redesigned Ear Hooks now curve inward along the back of the ear to ensure superior fit for ears of all shapes and sizes.
