Audeze

The Audeze LCD Collection is one of the finest series of planar magnetic headphones ever created.

Dekoni Audio created this model due to the limited availability of quality pads to maintain the incredible experience these headphones already give.

Elite Sheepskin

When you take soft, supple sheepskin and wrap it in dense, slow rebounding memory foam, you increase isolation, comfort and sound stage.

The sheepskin and foam wrap create a tight but comfortable seal on your head, even if you wear glasses, to ensure that our discerning listeners have a great headphone experience.

Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin

Dekoni Audio has introduced a new era in ear pads with the new Fenestrated Sheepskin ear pad.

The pad is designed to be cooler and more comfortable than any other pad and has the added benefit of helping to give the headphone a cleaner sound stage by reducing reflections of the direct sound before entering the ear.

Elite Hybrid

Dekoni Audio created this Frankenstein from the best of all its pads, and it represents the pinnacle of the Dekoni brand.

The Elite Sheepskin outer ring improves isolation and the velour face gives a soft, velvety touch.

Add to the inside of the pad Dekoni’s Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin and you get the most neutral sound possible.

Elite Velour

Dekoni Audio spent a lot of time designing and refining this ear pad to be the most comfortable and best sounding velour pad available today.

By using a tighter velour, Dekoni made the ear pad react more like traditional leather so that you don’t lose the bass frequencies or isolation seen in most velour pads, all while retaining the comfort and coolness of velour.

CRBN Electrostatic Audiophile Headphones

In 2016, Audeze was approached by researchers at the UCLA Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human behavior along with the industrial designers at BoomBang for help designing a headphone to work inside MRI machines.

By solving the issues with MRI headphones, we ended up creating one of the best sounding transducers ever designed. Though initially developed for medical applications, our patented electrostatic transducer design also yields powerful audio quality benefits ideal for audiophile use.

CRBN Carbon Nanotube Technology

The CRBN driver includes a revolutionary patent-pending ultra-thin diaphragm with carbon nanotubes suspended inside the material. Because the charge is distributed throughout the film, this results in a uniform driving force that reduces distortion and improves clarity, resolution and transparency.
