Audeze LCD-5s Planar Magnetic Headphones

The Audeze LCD-5s represents the next evolution of Audeze’s flagship headphone—refining every aspect of performance to deliver a more precise, dynamic, and lifelike listening experience.

At its core is a newly redesigned planar magnetic driver, paired with Audeze’s latest acoustic innovations, including SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology. This advancement improves air pressure control within the driver system, resulting in deeper, more physical bass response while maintaining exceptional speed and ultra-low distortion.

The overall presentation is highly resolving and balanced. Bass is tighter and more impactful than previous generations, mids are exceptionally clear and natural, and highs extend with greater refinement and control. The LCD-5s is tuned for mastering-grade accuracy, offering a transparent window into recordings while preserving a sense of musical engagement and realism.

Its open-back design creates a vast, immersive soundstage with precise imaging and layering. Instruments and vocals are presented with striking separation and depth, allowing you to hear into complex mixes with ease—whether for critical listening or professional work.

Comfort and build have also been elevated. Redesigned ear pads improve seal and long-term wearability, while the lightweight chassis—constructed from premium materials like magnesium and carbon fibre—ensures durability without excessive weight.

Handcrafted in the USA, the LCD-5s is a statement piece in both performance and design—bringing together cutting-edge engineering and refined aesthetics at the highest level of personal audio.
