Audeze has updated its flagship planar headphone with the LCD-5s, building on the success of the original LCD-5. The focus here is refinement rather than reinvention, with improvements to spatial accuracy, bass control, and overall realism thanks to the addition of SLAM™ acoustic technology, all achieved without the use of DSP tricks.
This latest flagship keeps Audeze’s engineering strengths at the forefront: 90 mm planar magnetic drivers with Fluxor™ magnet arrays and Fazor™ waveguides provide disciplined control and clarity, while the integration of SLAM technology helps shape airflow and acoustics for more impactful bass and sharper imaging.
