Sometimes it may become necessary to change the yoke rods on LCD headphones. We offer Standard length rods here, as well as 1” longer Extended yoke rods that allow the earcups to extend farther around the head for some models.
Please note these rods are for use on steel-yoke LCDs and are not compatible with LCD-1, LCD-GX, LCD-MX4, LCD-4z, LCD-24 or any magnesium models.
An instructional video to assist with replacement can be seen here.
3 ½” long (+1" longer than the standard rods): If you’ve wished your classic LCD headphones were a little bigger or looser-fitting, Audeze goes the extra step to assure your comfort.
Audeze yoke rods are fabricated in limited runs by a computer-controlled lathe. The rods are tumble-finished to smooth and polish any rough surfaces, then a finishing process called passivation strengthens the rods and protects them from corrosion.
Overall rating: 3.6 / 5 from 5 reviews.

"I love my Extended Yoke Rods on my audeze LCD 2 but I never get the right size screws especially that stay in securely i wish I didn't have to outsource replacement screws so do better audeze Make sure your screws fit all the way and securely without getting undone quadruple check everything check to make sure they screw in all the way and stay in securely or give us the option to have to order your headphones with the extension rods as stock option"

"I truly appreciate the sound emanating from the headphones but am very unhappy with the Yoke Rod & headband design. Even after replacing the yoke rods and cementing the attached screws, they still fit poorly. Very disappointed with the design; have never experienced such a problem with headphone bands before the Audeze line. I wish there was a way to completely replace the headband system now employed, with one that would support the LCD X headphones in a worry free and comfortable manner."

"For Large head people like me , this straight forward extended yoke is a simple upgrades that bring significant better comfort and compatibility to fit with more different head sizes people. Aesthetics is also improved as well :) Installation is easy straight forward too"
