Product Information
Shipping & Returns

The Audeze LCD-5s are a flagship open-back planar magnetic headphone designed for listeners who want absolute resolution, realism, and physical impact in one reference-grade package. Building on the LCD legacy, the LCD-5s introduce Audeze’s new SLAM technology, delivering a more powerful sense of low-end authority and spatial depth while maintaining the speed and clarity that planar drivers are famous for.

At the core of the LCD-5s is Audeze’s advanced nano-scale diaphragm and Parallel Uniforce voice coil design, engineered for exceptionally fast transient response and ultra-low distortion. The result is a headphone that reveals the finest details in a mix, exposes the texture of instruments, and presents vocals with startling intimacy — all while keeping the soundstage open, natural, and three-dimensional.

SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology enhances airflow and driver control, giving the LCD-5s a rare combination of precision and slam. Bass feels tight, physical, and controlled rather than exaggerated, making these an outstanding choice for mastering engineers, producers, and serious audiophiles who want truthful translation with genuine musical weight.

Despite their flagship performance, the LCD-5s are designed for long sessions, with a lightweight magnesium and carbon-fibre chassis, sculpted ear pads, and premium materials throughout. Each pair is hand-built in California and supplied with high-end accessories, making the LCD-5s not just a headphone, but a complete reference listening system.
