Audeze LCD-5 Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones, Leather

Full Description

Advanced Planar magnetic technology for unmatched audio fidelity

The Audeze LCD-5 introduces an entirely new planar driver and magnet structure, extending the frequency response for a breathtaking listening experience. Employing Fluxor magnets, updated Fazor waveguides, and the novel Parallel Uniforce voice coils, these headphones excel in delivering low distortion, excellent control over diaphragm movement, and remarkable sonic resolution. This optimized design results in a sound that is not just heard but felt, encapsulating the listener in unparalleled auditory detail.

Redefined comfort and aesthetics

Every aspect of the LCD-5 has been meticulously crafted for an elegant and comfortable listening experience. Weighing just 420 grams, these headphones are made from high-grade materials such as magnesium and carbon-fibre, not only for their lightweight and strength but also for their contribution to the headphones’ sleek design. Coupled with supple premium leather earpads, the LCD-5 is designed for extended listening sessions without any compromise on comfort or quality.

Crystal-clear clarity and stereo imaging

Through precise acoustic chamber optimization, the LCD-5 achieves exceptional imaging and a soundstage that brings every note to life with clarity and precision. The innovative earpad design and acoustically transparent mesh work together to minimize reflections and resonance. Additionally, the increased space between magnets due to the Parallel Uniforce voice coil technology enhances the frequency response, contributing to an open and immersive soundstage that sets these headphones apart in their class.

High-end adaptable balanced cable for unparalleled performance

The LCD-5 features an ultra-high-purity adaptable balanced cable, crafted with directional OCC high-purity copper strands. This ensures a low capacitance and resistance path for audio signals, preserving the clarity and detail of the music. Whether you're connecting to a balanced system or using the single-ended adapter, the LCD-5 guarantees an audio transmission of unmatched purity, making every listening session a testament to Audeze's commitment to audio excellence.
