Audeze

About this resource

Audeze began in a Southern California garage in 2008 and develops headphones for music listeners, recording professionals and gamers. Its name was inspired by a poster for 2001: A Space Odyssey. The company describes proprietary transducer development as a central activity and says every Audeze planar-magnetic and electrostatic driver is built in its Orange County, California factory. ^{[1] [2]}

The catalogue is divided into audiophile, professional and gaming collections rather than a single ladder of headphone prices. The audiophile section includes LCD-2 and LCD-3 models alongside CRBN2 electrostatic headphones. The professional section lists LCD-X, LCD-XC, MM-100 and other mixing-oriented products, while the gaming section groups Maxwell 2 headsets with the LCD-GX. Technology articles accompany the product listings. ^{[1] [2]}

Audeze also publishes articles on planar-magnetic and electrostatic technology, frequency-response graphs and EQ compensation. Its artist features include recording engineers and musicians, connecting the professional range to studio work. Accessories, software and legacy products have separate catalogue entries. The about page distinguishes driver manufacture in California from headphone assembly, while the product collections identify the intended use of each model. ^{[1] [2]}
