Our Take
The Audeze LCD-i3 has incredible sound and incredible value for $899. The open-back design creates a soundstage unlike any other style of in-ear headphones. Check out Andrew's video review:

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.
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.
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.
The Audeze CIPHER Bluetooth Module comes included with every LCD-i3. Programmed with Audeze's proprietary DSP and native support for Bluetooth 5.0, AptX, and AptX HD, the CIPHER Bluetooth Module delivers low latency 24 bit wireless audio that has been optimized for even the most discerning ear.
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.
The Bluetooth Module and 3.5mm standard cable are included with every LCD-i3 purchase. All CIPHER devices come preloaded with our proprietary DSP to provide an optimized audiophile listening experience with both wired and wireless connections.
