Audeze
Audeze builds planar magnetic headphones by hand at their factory in Santa Ana, California. Founded in 2008, the company adapted thin-film flexible circuit technology to create large-aperture drivers with very low distortion. Every Audeze planar magnetic and electrostatic driver is produced at their Orange County facility, where they also manufacture the flexible printed circuit boards used in their drivers.

$1199-$1299Audeze LCD-XC Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones
