The Audeze LCD-5 planar magnetic headphones set new standards for accuracy and detail, delivering an open soundstage for a breathtaking listening experience. Featuring brand new 90 mm planar magnetic drivers, Parallel Uniforce voice coils and Fluxor magnets, these open-back headphones provide an ultralow distortion and an extended frequency response. The sculpted leather earpads and magnesium housing were designed from the ground up for comfort and minimal resonances, allowing the precision-engineered drivers to shine through.

Planar Magnetic Drivers Reveal Hidden Details

With 90 mm planar magnetic drivers, a nano-scale diaphragm and Fluxor magnets, the LCD-5 gives you unparalleled control and responsiveness. The ultrathin diaphragm reacts instantly to even the subtlest signals, bringing out hidden details and nuances in your recordings. The planar magnetic design also provides a huge soundstage, with precise imaging letting you pinpoint the location of each instrument. You'll discover layers of depth and spaciousness in familiar tracks.

Innovative Voice Coils Reduce Distortion

Brand new Parallel Uniforce voice coils use varying widths to evenly distribute the magnetic force exerted on the diaphragm. This innovative design dramatically lowers distortion, especially in the high frequencies. The result is a neutral, balanced frequency response and accurate phase response for a wide, dimensional soundstage. At any volume level, the LCD-5 delivers a clean, articulate sound free of audible distortion.

Luxurious Components Minimize Resonance

To complement the precision driver technology, the LCD-5 employs premium components that reduce unwanted resonances. New acoustically optimized leather earpads provide an ideal seal for any head size while absorbing less of the critical midrange frequencies. The magnesium housing is lightweight yet rigid, minimizing reflections inside the ear cup. An improved carbon fiber headband offers a secure yet comfortable fit. Each element works together to produce an open, natural sound.

Premium Cable Preserves Signal Integrity

A premium cable provides a durable, noise-free connection between your amp and the LCD-5. Made from ultra-pure OCC copper, this cable preserves even the most delicate signals with no loss of resolution. High-quality connectors ensure an uninterrupted signal path, conveying all the detail and nuance captured in your recordings. For the ultimate listening experience, pair the LCD-5 with a quality headphone amplifier.
