Flagship Planar Headphones

Refinement. Precision. Luxury.

Incorporating Audeze's latest technical advancements, the new LCD-5s rewards listeners with a vast, immersive soundscape and palpably physical bass response. A new driver design combines with SLAM technology to produce mastering-grade precision even better than the original LCD-5, with a more natural, lifelike frequency response. Redesigned earpads are precisely sculpted to ensure long-term comfort and improved seal.

 

Engineered for Effortless Realism


To present listeners the most natural frequency response, LCD-5s uses a new driver design featuring Audeze’s thinnest, most responsive materials. The nano-scale Parallel Uniforce diaphragm connects to a revised chassis structure, allowing the most precise midrange tuning possible.

 

SLAM — Punch, Detail, Presence

LCD-5s offers powerful, extended bass response and a strikingly open soundstage, thanks to the pinpoint driver control allowed by the addition of SLAM technology.

Elegant Design


Sophisticated copper accents highlight the outstanding handcrafted material quality featuring carbon fiber, magnesium, genuine leather, and polished polymer acetate.

New Earpad Geometry


The smoothly flowing, curved forms of LCD-5s' new earpads are crafted to provide effortless comfort for hours of listening. This design also minimizes audible reflections to elevate sonic accuracy.

Ultra High-Purity Cable


LCD-5s uses Audeze’s most premium cable, specially tuned with directional OCC high-purity copper strands, to provide a low capacitance, low resistance signal path, maintaining unsurpassed sonic precision and accuracy.
