Audeze: LCD-5s - A New Benchmark Flagship Headphone Debuts at NAMM 26'

Product News 

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.

Feature Highlights & Talking Points

  • Refined Flagship Performance: SLAM acoustic technology improves bass control and spatial precision over the original LCD-5.
  • Advanced Planar Drivers: Nano-Scale Parallel Uniforce™ diaphragm with Fluxor and Fazor elements for detailed, low-distortion sound.
  • Comfort for Critical Listening: Newly contoured earpad geometry optimises seal and comfort for extended sessions.
  • Premium Craftsmanship: Carbon fiber, magnesium, acetate, and copper accents underscore Audeze’s commitment to build quality.

The LCD-5s builds on what made the original LCD-5 successful, refining performance where it matters most. It is aimed at listeners and professionals who demand flagship-level fidelity, accuracy, and long-term performance. For specialist retailers, the LCD-5s is a compelling product for serious audiophiles, mastering engineers, and customers seeking true luxury.
