The LCD-S20 redefines closed-back planar headphones, delivering deep, controlled bass, exceptional clarity, and pinpoint spatial accuracy. Powered by SLAM™ technology, it ensures lifelike dynamics without distortion, even at high volumes. Acoustically dampened earcups minimize external noise and prevent microphone bleed, making it an essential tool for tracking, mixing, and immersive listening.
Trusted by professionals, the LCD-S20 leverages Audeze’s renowned planar magnetic engineering to provide low-distortion drivers that protect hearing while preserving fine details and accurate timing. Its 18-ohm impedance ensures seamless performance across audio interfaces, mixers, laptops, and mobile devices, delivering powerful sound without compromise.
Precision-crafted from magnesium, aluminium, and steel, the LCD-S20 offers durability and effortless comfort. The adjustable leather suspension headband and gel-filled earpads provide a luxurious fit, while magnetically attached ear pads enable easy customization. Whether in the studio or on the go, its acoustically treated, cloth-covered earcups create a private listening space with enhanced noise isolation, keeping you fully immersed in your music.
